Considering it will probably be Don giving the VIP tour, I'm not sure the prize would be as exciting for him as your average park goer

Said it once and will say it again the 100 millionth rider should be Don.

I'm sure that park officials will take care not to ride when the milestone is imminent. But hopefully he'll be rider number ~100,000,300. Ideally with the milestone rider re-riding as 100,000,301.

If he were giving the VIP tour for the 100 millionth rider, I'm sure that it would be exciting for him. Not many rides have seen that milestone.

Ok, winning the prize wouldn't be. I am fairly sure he is excited about giving it

Don probably wouldn't be able to take 9 hours out of his day to give the VIP tour himself, no matter how exciting it would be.

That would be a really neat tour, though.

I agree that it would be cool to see Don get the 100 millionth ride while recognizing someone else as the 100 millionth rider. I'm sure he's content either way though.

How about give the 100 millionth rider the title..then he be rider 100,000,001

To put into perspective how many rides Racer has given:

Don's 12,000 rides will account for just over one percent of one percent of the total rides that Racer has given when it hits 100,000,000.

I would check my math:

12,000/100,000,000= 0.012% total rides.

Yup .012% appears to be just over 1% of 1% ...

I have seen Diamondbacks train leave with up to six seats empty. That's one and a half empty cars. The capacity is reduced to 26 passengers. It this were to happen continuously, every 5th train would be two seats short of an empty train.

As Devarious said, it does add up over time. The capacity for Banshee and Diamondback is the same volume of seats.

Both often send out empty seats, so why does the line for one fly and the line for the other doesn't?

Even though I love Banshee, it gets sent put with a lot of empty seats. I've seen 8 before. That is way to much to be allowing on a train.

IDK I just feel like it will go to someone who won't care about it. I would think Don would love it, even though he can't admit it publicly.

I think Don should ride with the 100,000,000 rider. It's fitting.

I think if it's someone who called into work as sick to go to KI, being the 100,000,000 person it would be hilarious. Well maybe not for them.

That would be the type of rider that might really want to avoid publicity and eternal fame.

If the milestone rider doesn't participate (provide name, pose for photo, etc), I wonder if they'd pick 100,000,001.

We will take a photo of the 100-millionth rider. Whether they want to provide us with their name is up to the guest.

How about opening the blue side. I'm here now and the line is backed out on the midway.

Sooner than later.

Even though I doubt I'll get the 100 millionth ride, it would be kinda fun to take a lap on the ride with you at some point.

I am out of town but I will tell my wife to send the kids over to marathon Racer for the next day or two. It would be awesome if my 7 year old was the fortunate one.

Sooner than later.

You're killing me Don!

Guess I'm going back to the park today. Gonna get me in shape going every day like this.

I'm heading up now

I'm taking a Cirque break now, but so far I haven't seen anything (or anyone) official looking at The Racer. I've been enjoying riding it though!

The most interesting thing I've seen so far was before my first ride today, three (young) employees were intently looking over a few clipboards of what I believe were tally sheets. I think it was a shift changeover, because when they were done, a couple of them left.

I got excited for a bit when a woman in a blouse and an employee name tag appeared to be approaching The Racer, but she went into the storage shed between the entrance and the basketball game there, instead.

Those clipboards holds the schedule of rotations for the day....not a tally sheet.

I'm sure Don's bat phone will ring when the ride is imminent .

Isn't that The Bat phone?

A Bat phone would be used under license from DC Comics at its exclusive US amusement park partner, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation.

Terp, having FUN.

I assumed he had a Racer Phone, it's ring tone would be the Smurf song

Well, it's a station wait if anyone wants to come do some last minute marathoning

Park would be closed by the time I would even get to the park! LOL

I'm more excited for this milestone than a middle aged woman probably should be. Ah, well, The Racer is older than me.

I slept little enough last night I had time to do custom nails this morning to celebrate. Right hand in red, left in blue, one letter of "RACER" on each finger of each hand in silver.

I hope it happens today. I don't care if I win, I just want to be here for such an amazing coaster milestone.
