IndyGuy4KI Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 On 6/7/10 I took my second cousin Kylee, who is 13 to KI for her first trip of the season. We headed directly to DB for ERT and got 5 rides in before the ROTB’s happened. We saw KIRuler (Dustin) in the parking lot, but he was with some other friends and so he went to Beast.) Oldiesman (Michael) was there with his sister and a friend at DB ERT, but ridding another train. We did not see him after that ride during ERT. After ERT we headed to Beast and rode it 2 times. We then hit BLSC and Vortex. (For some reason Kylee kept calling it Invertigo, I kept correcting her, but really thought she would be quoted on the guests say the darnedest things thread.) We then went to FOF and had a good ride on it. We were in line for Racer and got a call from Dustin that they were going on White Water Canyon. Kylee mentioned wanting to ride it, and I had not ridden it yet this season so we got out of line for Racer and meet him and his friends at the queue for WWC. We had a fun ride and I was trying to keep my shoes and socks from getting soaked. I was about 50% successful. Kylee and I thought a ride on DB would help us dry out a little so we headed over there. Dustin and his friends were going to head to BB so we parted ways with them. After a good ride on DB and now only damp and not soaked we headed to Rivertown Junction for lunch. Here is what I had for lunch! Kylee getting serious about her food! After eating we came out of RJ and went hey look, DB! So we rode it again. Kylee has not been on BBOBH so we rode it. I did not tell her about the face in the fog for I figured it would scare her big time, but it was not working or not turned on. I was disappointed about that. I somehow got a 1748 score, there must be a target that gives a weird # to get that weird score? We wanted to hit Delirium and Michael meet up with us there. The three of us had a fun ride on that and we headed to FD. Rode in the back once and rode again in 1-1. Ridding 1-1 is the way to go on FD. You get the most swaying action in that car than any other IMO. We then went to DT. We here getting warm so we rode Congo Falls. We did not get to wet, but it felt good! We were going to hit AE next, but it was down. We then went to racer and we meet up with Dustin. So now there were 4 of us. Dustin, Michael, Kylee, and myself. We rode Red Racer and then Blue Racer. We noticed AE testing as we got off of Blue so we walked back to AE. We waited a few minutes to see if it would open. In about 3 minutes they opened the queue. The first train that was dispatched was only us 4. An all KIC train right in the middle of the day! I was hollering “It’s an all KIC train” and the ride ops were looking at us like we were crazy! I didn’t care, we were having fun with our EPIC AE KIC train! We get a total of 3 rides without getting off before people realized it was open again and filled the station. I really wanted to ride Dodgems so we rode those and got another ride on Vortex in 5-1 for Terpy! : ) We then went and rode The Beast. Dustin was going to eat at RJ so the rest of us got in queue for DB. Michael’s sister and her friend joined us then as well. It was about a 20 min wait. When were under the track before starting the stairs the ride ops started clearing the queue. Not knowing what was going on we sort of stayed as close as possible for we did not want to lose our spot in line, but we found out someone was sick and they cleared everyone out of the queues. I think KI handled things well considering this was probably not a common occurrence on DB or even at KI. In the mean time we went and rode Surf Dog. Dustin meet us over there and was able to ride the same cycle as us. We then went and rode Woodstock Express, Flying Ace Areal Chase, and BBOBH. We were trying to stay close to DB for when it reopened. I am guessing it needed reinspected after the person got sick on the ride. Dustin had to leave, so before we did all of us got a picture in front of the fountains and Dustin using the recycle bins in the park. Group Pic Dustin using the recycle bins! We then went and rode Race for Your Life Charlie Brown. As we were getting in queue a mother who had one kid in her stroller who fell asleep was looking for someone to take her other son Evan on the ride since she could not leave the other child in the stroller alone. So we picked up another rider with us. Evan did not like the ride for he got wet. I think he liked the drop, but not the water aspect. While in queue for RFYLCB we heard the DB horn go off so we headed there after we got off and got Evan back to his mom. We got back in queue for DB and had a good ride. We then headed to The Beast. Kylee and I wanted a few more rides on DB and It was a little after 9pm. So we decided to end the night with a few more rides on DB. Michael and his group went to Vortex. So it was just Kylee and I to go hit DB 2 more times to make it 10 for the day. We watched the fireworks as we headed to the car. Ride count for the day. AE -3 Beast – 3 BBOBH -2 BLSC – 1 CF - 1 DB – 10 Delirum – 1 Dodgems - 1 DT -1 FD - 2 FOF -1 Racer – 2 RFYLCB – 1 SD -1 Vortex – 2 WE - 1 WWC - 1 Total: 34 Rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Did Evan get wet before Snoopy did his thing? And I am glad you liked 5-1! Great report! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Did Evan get wet before Snoopy did his thing? And I am glad you liked 5-1! Great report! Just a little, but he was really mad about that. As we walked off the ride I asked him if he liked it and he went "No, I got wet." I know I explained to him that he was going to get wet before we rode and he seemed to like the idea at the time. It was fun to take another younger kid on the ride and see their reactions and thoughts. I usually always know what my son's reaction is: Dad, lets go again! My son will most definitely be a marathon rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
