King Ding Dong Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It's as if the other parks see "foreign" Platinum Pass Holders as freeloaders to be tolerated at best. Compare how SeaWorld treats "foreign" pass holders. No comparison. Your best customers who paid the most you treat like dirt. That makes sense. Told my wife I wanted to ride WWC today . She said I'll get the quarters. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk So if you are riding WWC and have the quarters what are planning on doing? Toss them up to the people by the cannons? Or did you mean? She said, "I'll get the quarters."KDD - Beating Grammar Policeman Terp to the punch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeastFarmer Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Does anyone here know why they drained the slashdown pool on Diamondback? Looks strange without water when the train goes through it! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Coaster Nation on Youtube just uploaded a new video, showing the new White Water Canyon entrance, I know what your thinking, we've already seen it... But wait this shows the train crossing with the train sitting on the tracks! This looks amazing, I love it! It will look even more better when the vines grow over the arbor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXgNVeAxE6E What is the third rail for? 2' narrow gauge?

PiperArcher Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Diamondstack trimming hard today. Very little airtime on the bunny hills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Does that have anything to do with the splashdown being drained? I assume that regulates the speed coming into the break run a bit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperArcher Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Possibly. I caught more air on the hill after the splashdown than I ever have before though. I was pretty bummed to see the splashdown drained on my first day back this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_Plummer Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I remember reading somewhere that the splashdown works as a sort of brake in a way. Without the water it would have too much speed leading into the final brake run. That's my guess why it's trimmed so heavily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 splash down was not drained yesterday afternoon as far as I could tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, the splash down assists with slowing the train down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeastFarmer Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Had a great day at the park yesterday. The only issue was the heat. No wait for food at RHOFG and quick service. Skyline on IS was to the door, but it actually went quickly, even with only a line person and a drink person. The drink person was actually speeding things up by going down the line to the desert station and taking drink orders and bringing them to the customers in line, greatly speeding up service. This is very encouraging to see! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI96 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I haven't had passes in years until this year, and I used to work there. I love going there and bringing my kids, so much fun and nostalgia. I hope this doesn't sound too elitist or rude. Is it just me, or is there a disproportionate amount of really trashy people in the park? I'm talking smoking, vulgarity, severe lack of clothing that just screams "no shame". To each his own and all that, but when I am in a public place with my kids, I don't want them to see / her / inhale that nonsense. It's been a few years since I've gone a lot, so maybe it is just a cultural norm at this point. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Tattoos really dont bother me but the foul language and smoking is something else when I have my three year old who soaks in every little bit of information in. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
