Snowman Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I now have proof Diamondback is the most patriotic coaster ever. This morning DB was supposed to be open for ERT (possibly one of the last weekends for it),my wife and I along with many other gold passers rushed to the entrance of DB only too find a ride op stopping us to say DB was experiencing "Mechanical Problems". We stood in line as we were told it should open soon. Many people went on to ride Beast. Time kept going by, no testing, no movement. At 10:00 the National Anthem played over the loud speakers, and as soon as it ended the supervisor came out of the control room and waived us in! Mechanical problem fixed at exactly 10 o'clock. So all it took was the National Anthem to fix it. DB wouldn't work until it heard it's favorite song. It was amazing. That brought a tear to my eye and made me Proud to be an American. So in conclusion KI, if WindSeeker or Vortex has "Mechanical Problems" for ERT the rest of this season, don't worry about calling maintenance, just play the National Anthem! Other than that, Amazing day at an amazing place. Beast seems smoother and faster. Delirium has all new black headrests!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Not that it matters, but I think Patriot at Knotts beats DB any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorGuy Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Not that it matters, but I think Patriot at Knotts beats DB any day. Um, just wondering, did you mean Patriot at Worlds of Fun or did you mean Silver Bullet at Knotts? There is no Patriot coaster at Knotts.

The Interpreter Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Since both are inverted coasters, either would be a rather strange comparison to Diamondback.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
