And Facebook

Finally!

Facebook is slowly draining away my faith in humanity...I don't even know where to begin with the comments that have been posted...

Everyone was complaining that its been testing too much, but now that its about to open, that testing doesn't matter. Its too dangerous.

I love Facebook people. They make me laugh a lot.

The wait made the ride look much better than I thought it did in August.

Could someone post the quote from twitter? What did the page exactly say?

Twitter:

WindSeeker expected to make its debut on Tuesday!

Facebook:

The wait is finally over! WindSeeker is expected to open Tuesday! Gold and Platinum passholders will have the opportunity to be among the first riders at 9:30am.

Ha, thanks! Awesome! I guess I will be there tomorrow.

I completely agree with you...I'm at a loss for words from most of those comments

Examples:

Did it get new seats?? I heard it did cause dummies were falling out?

ABOUT THE DUMMIES FALLING OUT::: The dummies don't have limbs, they're just torso shaped weights... We have arms and legs to hold us in place. I'm still concerned with how safe it is, since it was supposed to open a long time ago...

I was there last week, and when I asked about it, I was told BY A KI EMPLOYEE they weren't sure when it would open because of the dummies falling out. Hopefully they have resolved that issue!!

about an hour

i bet someones gonna jump out of the thing like they did on the ifle tower

Is it just me, or is anyone else not surprised by the comments?

FB gives people a voice w/o being confronted. Many comments fall into the "you can't fix stupid" catagory. Listening to those comments on FB and believing them is very close to listening and believing a certain site where people eScape from reality and Scream.

Might sound stupid especially coming from ME, but does this mean Beast/Dback ERTs are over?

I'll be there.

As far as the Facebook commenters go, next time Kings Island opens a new ride, I suggest they use random Facebook comments to pick the "dummies" to test ride.

Please don't encourage them!

I can't be there tomorrow, packing for vacation. I'm actually surprised as I asked an official looking man at WindSeeker on Saturday if they had an expected date. And he said Tuesday! So after multiple questions I got an accurate response from someone.

What does an unofficial looking man look like?

Terpy, who just HAD to

Probably framed by a Dippin' Dots cart...

People are freaking out because "Diamondback and The Beast are shutting down forever."

Wow.

Careful what you say about Facebook users here or this thread will get deleted.

Wish I was able to make a park trip tomorrow

The park does not run this site. And what is Facebook?

Terpy, kidding (and who actually taught Facebook classes in his old job. No, you will NOT find him there...Facebook OR his old job!)

WindSeeker and Vortex will be the Early ERT from here on out. Beast and DB had a good run but I for one am excited to see that section of the park in the morning.

Something old, something new....

Enjoy what you can while you can for you know not what certain tomorrows may bring...

Some day many of you will look back fondly on The Summer of 2011 and remember what was.

Might sound stupid especially coming from ME, but does this mean Beast/Dback ERTs are over?

Excellent question!! Let's hope KI will consider how popular ERT for Beast/DB has been this season, simply add WS/Vertigo and not replace.

He was wearing a nice suit, green in color. And talked officially. He seemed like the real deal to me

I read it..... I can hope someone with decision making ability might read this thread and consider leaving Beast/DB open for ERT.

I'll be there for the 1st WindSeeker ERT!

Let the sprinting begin! (Yes I know it's pretty dangerous, I'll try to resist the urge to do it)

Are you sure he was official?

Ah, I Wish it would have opened one week earlier, now I won't be able to ride it until July 10th.
