^^Thanks. ^I'm not that dissapointed with the Dejavu closure because I'm *barely* below the hight limit... I was very scared the first time I rode it, and if I didn't have my feeet tucked in, I think I could have kicked the supports I'll report back here some time during the day on the state of the park...

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
dylanreich replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Two rides on X2 without getting off (open seat) three Saturdays ago (Key Club "Spirit Competition" day). -
^About the hot days, I've noticed they don't check the date on the drink wristbands... Unless anyone can disprove this, I don't think they change the color. Back on topic: I bet they only really care about having one water ride in the park. I bet they'll tear down all but one water ride if it makes sense for them...

biosciking's So Cal Thread

Awesome! I actually live closer to the L.A. Fair than the O.C. Fair, but always go to the O.C. Fair in the summer. I find it funny that save for a few rides, almost all of the rides go straight from the O.C. Fair to the L.A. Fair. -
Not a coaster, but at the fair there's this ride called Tango ( ), and I'm a pretty big guy (6'2, 250 pounds at the time, now 230 ), and the restraint, which is sort of like a sliver of metal that shoots through under you to lock connected to metal shoulder restraints, started notching outward DURING the ride. I kept pulling it in as I was flipping but it kept coming out. By the time the ride was ending, it was at the last notch outward. I really think I would have fallen out and died if the ride was not over. RCS basically shut me up with 30 free ride passes, and the next time I was at the fair two days later, the ride was closed and they were re-bolting all of the seat restraints. This was at the OC Fair (who uses RCS for rides).

What was your first coaster?
dylanreich replied to djw44's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I lived right next to Disneyland when I was very young, so I wouldn't be able to name the first since I was there all the time, but my first coaster with a loop was Montezuma's Revenge at Knott's. -
Gotta live up to that motto: "Go big or go home." Also, anyone else ridden X2 when it's very windy? I rode in the very back (front) last night and the ride was VERY rough compared to the morning. Not sure if it was the ride or the wind... I found out the discount on the Flash Pass for those interested while getting my Xtreme pass yesterday, 15%.

I was also there today and yes, it was annoying as hell! They had pep rallys in the Golden Bear theater and I swear you could hear the screaming from all over the park. Haha, I am in Key Club but drove myself so that I could run to X2, and skipped the rally in the Golden Bear. I had a very successful day, actually. Here was my game plan, with some modifications: I ran straight to X2, and got right on. Then I hit Viper. After that, I ran to Riddler's Revenge and followed it up with Batman. After that, I was able to do the unofficial single-rider on Green Lantern. Then, I did Collosus followed by a marathon on Scream in which I was able to ride 4 times without leaving the station. After that, I rode Viper again, and then got in line around 5:15 to ride X2 again with my friend. However, when we got to the front, there was empty seat, so I was able to ride with this kid, and then stay in my seat and have my friend ride with me (so I got to ride X2 two times in a row, and three times overall). However, the fire was off the whole day, but the wind at night made X2 very cold, very fast, and very shaky. Note: I didn't mention the sometimes-long break inbetween rides to hang out with fellow key-clubbers. Overall, it was a great day, and really didn't wait in any lines at all. P.S. I wasn't one of the chanters, but I did yell "Key Club, how do you feel!?" at the top of every coaster, including X2, and got a response...
