KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 What do you think will happen when they hit 1,000,000 riders. I think nothing Quote
MarketingExpress Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I believe the 1 millionth rider on SOB was shown on the evening news and got a gift basket of some sort. Quote
KIlover123 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Yes Maybe a sign, with pictures being taken everywhere. being on the news. a big ceremony with a t shirt. Quote
HTCO Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 T-Shirt. Media Attention. Photos. KI Insider Blog Post. Jane Vellez Michealles. Just kidding about the last one. Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 So, for those who may not know, not likely, The 1,000,000th rider got a sign and a couple of pictures. Also, tons of applause but thats not really an object hahaaha. Also, i found it interesting that going up the first hill, DB has a sensor to tell where there are empty seats. So the count was exactly at 1,000,000. Not counting the empties! just a little fun fact! Quote
Coaster Kid Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I wish i was the 1,000,000 rider as of all of us wish we were. Quote
Charlie Brown Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I was there yesterday, and in the op booth there was a 1,000,000 Rider Sign. Quote
chippewa&idora4ever Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Do you mean Diamondbacks millionth ride or an individuals millionth ride? Quote
Beast1979 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Diamondback's 1,000,000th. I believe the individual record currently goes to Darlene Bell with over 500 rides. Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I read from a family relative that Jim got a t-shirt and hat as well as the sign and bragging rights Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Oh cool. I thought it was just the sign........and bragging rights haha Quote
Coaster Kid Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I almost have Darla beat ahhh if only swim team finals wernt this week or I would be there everyday this week but all I have is Friday and Saturday well and maybe Sunday. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Actually, her name is Darlene. And no, you wouldn't beat her this week. She is well over 500 rides, probably around 550-ish. You've got a couple hundred to go, which wouldn't happen in just a couple days. Quote
Coaster Kid Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I only need like 170 or around there till my 500th ride. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Well, your sig. says you have 362, thus needing only 138 more to get to 500. But, you said: "I almost have Darla beat ". I was making a point that she is well over 500, and you would need almost 200 more to have more than her, and it wouldn't be happening in just a couple days. Quote
Coaster Kid Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Yes this week I might only get 30 to 35 rides with all 3 days combined. Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 well no matter how much time you spend thre this week, you have no possible way of even getting close to beating darlene. Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Yes this week I might only get 30 to 35 rides with all 3 days combined. Do you try to experience anything else while you're at the park? 10 rides per day on Diamondback eats up a pretty good chunk of the day. Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Yes this week I might only get 30 to 35 rides with all 3 days combined. Do you try to experience anything else while you're at the park? 10 rides per day on Diamondback eats up a pretty good chunk of the day. actually no tas much time as you would think if you are marathoning the SRL Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Yes this week I might only get 30 to 35 rides with all 3 days combined. Do you try to experience anything else while you're at the park? 10 rides per day on Diamondback eats up a pretty good chunk of the day. You could get five rides during ERT on Saturday easily. Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 UHHH. I dont think so I went to ERT on Saturday and only got 3 in??? Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 UHHH. I dont think so I went to ERT on Saturday and only got 3 in??? I've got five rides in on ERT and I rode The Beast twice so I do think so. Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 same here. I got 5 in one time. But usually i get 3 in. Quote
KIfan1980 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 UHHH. I dont think so I went to ERT on Saturday and only got 3 in??? I've got five rides in on ERT and I rode The Beast twice so I do think so. Like crowds on any day, ERT crowds on DB are also very variable. Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 Well I guess thats because I went on Friday and Saturday (Saturday ERT) but that was on stupid Joyfest Quote
