CoastersRZ Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I hope things are still a go for Friday, despite the weather prediction. I might just be able to get up their at 5 because I might get off work early because the movers will be moving all of K4`s stuff to our new offices starting at 12! I just wish it qould quite raining!

Skippy Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Alright, I'll be there (in mind and heart) PKI really likes to spoil us! It sounds like Gold Pass Speed Lane will be exactly like Disney's Fastpass, with the designated times and what not. Wish I could be there because it sound like one hell of a day!

Reclaimer Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 So...did I read this right or wrong? I'm getting this is a gold-pass only thing all weekend, or just the fact that the first 2,000 GP people get the Speed Lane tickets? I'll be at the park Sunday for sure, and possibly Saturday...and would hate to miss the chance to ride IJ simply because I wasn't first in.

CoastersNSich Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I'm planning to be there, but forecast of some bad storms may push back my trip to Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be at the park Sunday for sure, and possibly Saturday...and would hate to miss the chance to ride IJ simply because I wasn't first in. I am curious about this as well. I'm planning on going on Sunday, but I need to know how early it'll be necessary for me to be there in order to ride IJ:ST. I don't mind waiting in line if I have to.

CoastersNSich Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I'd say to be there right when the gates open at 9 am. That's when you will be free to roam International Street and go up to the connector paths that are roped off. To get to the kiosk, stay on the right side of the fountain, and the kiosk will be on the right side of the Eiffel Tower (that tall big metal thing that is closed 'cause they're repainting it.) As long as the passes are still available, you will get one with a timed entry (of a time frame of about 15 or 30 minutes) when you are permitted to enter the IJST speed lane. However, if you want to be among the first to ride IJST on the day you visit, you should line up at the rope east (or behind) the Eiffel Tower for a first-come first serve ride at 10 am. Especially if you don't want to wait for a ticketed walk-on later on in the morning/day. Of course being a new ride in 'rehearsal mode,' you may have to wait longer or find a new set of plans as shutdowns/delays are very likely. I hope this helps you, have a great visit! T.

Reclaimer Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Good to hear. Thanks for that info! So long as the riding isn't limited to 2,000, I'm happy. This is great news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I'll be there because I have to work then. Sounds like it's going to be busy this weekend... Thanks for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketingExpress Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 A reminder to all that the gates open at 4:00 but the rides won't start until 5:00. Same goes for saturday and sunday, gates open at 9:00am and the rides begin operation at 10 (exception Rivertown early ride) Looking forward to seeing a big crowd tonight at IJST.

Oldiesmann Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 We're definitely going to be busy this weekend... Other things going on: Music In The Parks (Saturday) Music Showcase Festival (Saturday) Job Fair (Saturday & Sunday) All that combined with the IJST Technical Preview is going to really bring people out to the park.

UCcatguy52 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 It wasn't really that busy tonight, but that was only at Delirium, so I don't know how the other parts of the park were like. But I saw IJST going tonight and it looked pretty sweet. I work a close tomorrow and I'll probably get up there early to see if its running.

Oldiesmann Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 It wasn't really that busy in HB either. I got sent home at 8 because they didn't need me anymore. I spent a good 10 or 15 minutes watching IJST before I left, and even considered riding it, but decided not to because I didn't want to wait (good thing too - within 30 minutes it was raining pretty good). I think it will be busier tomorrow and Sunday. The busiest I've seen it so far was a couple weekends ago when Anthem Blue Cross was out there. I'd love to see it that busy again. Makes things more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enchanted Voyager Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Not to brag but I got to ride it twice, once in the front and once in the back. Ohhh yea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryler87 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I can't match that. I only went once; decided to stop by coming back from my UC placement tests. Let me say; wow. A short ride, but those are some of the craziest lateral and gravity forces. That first turn into the helix out of the launch hits to incredibly hard, but it's a good hard... Best part of the whole ride: after the helicopter scene in the pipeline. Complete darkness; and you don't know where you're going. That drop off in the tunnel comes out of nowhere! A great experience coaster - tons of special effect elements; not to mention that the doors on the trains actually open. (I'm easily amused.) Nice (Italian) Job, PKI...
