ki lover Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I was thinking the other day what if you have a group of 3 and one person gets to ride twice. Here's how it would work.............. 2 people from the group broad the train as the one left behide would let 1 or 2 people go in front of him/her or if the coaster had 3 trains let 2 groups go ahead. As the 2 from the group that broaded arrive back in the station the one left behide broads the train and one of the 2 that have already ridden stays and rides with the one that hasn't ridden yet. I think some people or a ride op would get mad if they saw a group doing this . My thought is tho, if no one is going to sit there let the person have the seat and ride. I doubt i'm the first to think of this. Have any of you done this? i know of people who do something like this ( single Rider Bob) at Cedar Point. I think this is a great legal idea. Well at least in my book. I don't support line jumping at all, in fact i will yell at you for doing it. P.S. Who remembers 2 for tuesdays on The Beast!

Why not just board the train normally insted of wasting time with tricks, there's plenty of time in a day to ride twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Sounds like to much work. Why not just ride all three in the same train, then rotate partners. I have always sworn to my friends though I don't go to KI with out an even number of people....for this exact reason.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcc Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Sounds sorta like parent swap. My only regret is not having one more child for even riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkiboy Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 the park does not have a reride policy if no one is in ur row you can ride as many times as u want!! or find empty seats not that hard . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 When the park is dead I see no problems with reriding, however when the park is busy, and they rides have a wait then reriding should not be allowed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Actually, I dont mind going to parks alone one little bit. I am going to CP next Thursday alone, and am going to enjoy the mental escape and solitude. I take my iPod, and always wear one of my park shirts (usually my HoliWood Nights shirt) because it tends to attract conversations during the times I actually wish to talk with someone while queuing. With that said, I ALWAYS enjoy days spent with Friends, and its without a doubt more fun to go to an Event with a Friend or Friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDL Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 As a child my sister and I would ride AE over and over because no one was ever in line but a few times we asked if we could get in an empty seat because people were in line for the seat we were in... some said it was ok but most of the operators always said "can you walk around again" haha hated when they told us that.

homestar92 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I like going to parks with friends, but I don't mind going alone either. With friends, you have someone to talk to in line, but alone you can freely ride anything you want with no disagreement. But given recent events, I don't think I COULD go alone for a while (if you hadn't heard I lost my usual KI buddy to a car wreck this week). But the main reason I say that is not to beg for sympathy (I've more or less moved on at this poimt), but rather to get to my key point. For me, whether I go alone or with friends depends largely on whether I'm feeling introverted or outgoing at the time. I can go either way, and I can have fun either way. Not to mention, strangers who you would never talk to if you had someone else could potentially become your close friends one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I've been to KI when Diamondback has a 45 minute wait but rode it 5+ times in 30 minutes. When I get off, I find an open seat and ask if I can ride with them. They've always said yes. I haven't done this since 09' but last year I did it on Voyage a few times.
