gigacoaster2k Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I took my dad with me to KI because I'd gotten him a two-day ticket for Fathers Day. We got to the park around 4:15 pm, as I had to work from 6 am to 2 pm. We headed straight for Diamondback! We saw Jared (rotag1299) in the SRL, who was wearing his spikey green wig from glam rock day. Then we met back up with Jared, and the three of us went to Racer (which was only running the red side so the line was long), but the wait was too long for Jared, he had to go get ready for Haunt. We met up with Tom (Tom76257), and the three of us rode DB. Then we headed to Flight of Fear, where it was posted at a 45 minute wait, but none of the inside queues were full, so we waited about 20 minutes. Tom declined to ride and went out the exit because he wasn't feeling well, and after my dad and I rode, Tom was feeling worse, so he went home. Dad and I then headed to Urgent Scare, and I saw Alyssa (TrainedBeast). I pointed out that the kids in front of us looked scared, and she was totally terrorizing them. I almost died laughing, it was so funny. Dad really liked Urgent Scare and said it was gross (that's a compliment). We met up with Ryan (BoddaH1994) and went over to Beast, but the line was HUGE so we went for DB instead. Met up with Gabriel (Captain Nemo), and then headed to Backlot Stunt Coaster. We were dying from the cold, and getting tired, so we headed to Starbucks. The line was out onto the midway. I went with the advice everyone has been giving me, and asked for a peppermint mocha. It was delicious and tasted like a liquid York peppermint pattie, but I honestly like the pumpkin pie spice latte more. The four of us went back to Beast because my dad really wanted to ride, and then rode that. I keep forgetting what a great night ride this thing is.. I love wooden coasters. Then we decided it was time for some haunts. Ryan and Gabe were raving about Massacre Manor, so we went there. Gabe grabbed my arms and was dancing me throughout half of the maze. I'd never been through that one before, it was really good. Then we started the long walk back to Trail of Terror. I thought for a few seconds that we were in an unauthorized area, until I saw other people back there. Ryan grabbed my left arm and Gabe grabbed my right, and we walked through the entire maze that way. The guys kept yelling out that Angie was coming and that she was really scared. My dad found it hilarious, and so did I! This blond chick kept sniffing me, and Ryan's comment was "She's hot in a shoot up your school kind of way." I got some good scares out of that maze, Trail of Terror is REALLY good! Then we hit Club Blood, which had NO wait, we went right to the door! Went through the maze the same way we went through Trail of Terror. CB was better earlier in the season. Hardly anything jumped out and scared me. Dad wanted last ride on DB, so we headed that way. It hit me while we were almost to the station that this was my last DB ride until next season, and my eyes got misty. Ryan saw and started telling me a funny story, it cheered me up. I lost Ryan and Gabe at the exit, and Dad and I headed home. He said he had a great time, and was happy to be around people who knew their way around the park. We got home around 3 am. Ride count: Diamondback - 4 Racer - 1 Beast - 1 Backlot Stunt Coaster - 1 Flight of Fear - 1 Haunts: Trail of Terror - 1 Massacre Manor - 1 Urgent Scare - 1 Club Blood - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldve swore I saw you in DB's line. That was us! My dad didn't go to CM. Tony Clark threw a CM 2008 sweatshirt at me at ACE Winter SOAR this past winter and told me to stay warm. It was a mens size XL.. I wear a juniors size medium. So I just gave it to my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catzdrummer09 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 ^ Well I rode it twice in the front seat without getting up. The first time it was ROARIN' through the woods. I swear I've never had a faster ride, and I couldn't even feel the brakes. The second time was much more tame and was thrown forward at each and ever brake. So something must have been different. I'm assuming they can be powered down or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still there, but just not as noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are, the track was damp/ wet which made the train faster and you didn't notice the magnets as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still there, but just not as noticeable. I am usually a back seat rider, and I notice the trims a lot more in the front on The Beast? I guess it is what you are used too. If I rode in the front more it would praobbly be more noticable in the back. Nice TR Angie, glad you had fun with family and friends!
