upstop Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Heard something very funny while riding Adventure Express on Sunday. A mother and her six year old were riding behind me... Mom - "Are you sure this is like a train ride" 6 year old son - "Yeah mom, just like a train ride" (ride starts and right at the first drop and through out the ride) Mom - "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh - Jeesh - ahhhhhh - OOOOO-----NOoooooo!!!!" Son (giggled furiously the whole way) (back in the station) Mom - "That was NOT a train ride!!!!" Son - "You should never trust a six year old." 27 Quote

Infinity Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Flight of Fear has FUNtv playing in the queue... Sure hope that's temporary. Please not another Boo Blasters situation! 9 Quote
Diamondback96 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Oh dear. This must mean they're tearing it down for a waterpark expansion! 2 Quote
silver2005 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Flight of Fear has FUNtv playing in the queue... Backlot didn't have all its special effects running tonight either. There were also random people in the International Restaurant just before the fireworks. 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I've been a random people before. Terp, hoping to be again soon. 4 Quote
MDMC01 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Flight of Fear has FUNtv playing in the queue... Seriously!?!?!? Even though I was on my phone last time I was in line (on KIC no less...), I appreciate the video and the lack thereof (at least in my mind) lessens the experience/nostalgia. EDITed for word choice 2 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Stopped by the Mason FD Quint truck (in front of the Royal Fountains, Starbucks side) and chatted with the fireman. I told him the story about how the Mason Volunteer Fire Company came all the way out to downtown Morrow with their ladder truck, way back in 1980, because none of the rural fire departments could get the massive fire that was happening under control, and just... one-and-done! ...and the young fireman knew of the story! It was cool to share that story with the young first-responder (and to learn what a Quint truck is...) Tb, in park all day 3 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Docile-looking skunk running around between Bat entrance and exit queues, we went into gift shop and told an associate about it, and he's channeling it up. Potential coaster renaming event averted... 3 Quote
SpectralBeacon Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Got to the park and all was good then the downpour started right as The Bat went up, so I can safely say I've ridden The Bat as a water ride 4 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 The Bat is one of the best water rides! Not so fast that the rain hurts, and the random soakings from water that collects in the canvas "pocket" above the seats 7 Quote

WindingSon Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 E-stopped in the mid-course brake run. Yikes. 4 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Folks are walking out to meet them. There are also people running through the grass, stopping and looking, probably trying to assess something. 3 Quote
WindingSon Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Looks like people are being evacuated off the final brake run. 3 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 "Welcome back riders, how was your ride?" "LLLLLLLLOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGG!" 11 Quote
