^I'm Barry's adopted son I will admit it, I'm a credit whore. Why? I don't know, I've honestly been one my whole entire life. Ever since I was little, I'd ride every coaster I could.

Went through the queue, than ran back, pressed a button and sent us through an other lap . -June 2006, I was on Top Spin 2 at Coney Island and it just kept going in a circle constantly and the supports were shaking.

We got a re-ride and it happened again! -November 2006, My brother Anthony (the Benny), and I got stuck on Raging Spirits at Tokyo DisneySea. I realized something was wrong when we left the station and stopped for a second on the little break and slowed down on all the MCBR (You don't usually). We got to the end, and stopped. There were two trains in the station. Onen before us, and two behind us (all on the break run). They than made an annoucment saying the ride was down, and turned off the fog and turned on work lights. It was pretty cool! About 10 minutes later, they restarted it and got us off. -November 2006, E-Stop on Haunted Mansion Holiday Nightmare at Tokyo Disneyland -November 2005, E-Stoped on Splash Mountain's final lift, at the very top (kind of hanging off). -January 2007, E-Stop Haunted Mansion in the Magic Kingdom. -January 2007, E-Stop Space Ship Earth in EPCOT. -January 2007, Break Down on Universe Of Energy (Ellen's Energy Adventure) in EPCOT, and they evacuated (my first real evac). -April 2007, Break down on Skull Mountain's first lift for about 10-15 minutes.

Both sides of it were running one train, and was racing. (Keep in mind, RT uses Skid Brakes), and when we came into the brake run we slowed down a tiny bit, then all of a sudden we got a huge boost of speed and rammed right into the station, and the train came to a sudden stop halfway! I have no idea what that was about! -August 2007, Pebbles and I headed over to Batwing in SFA where we saw around 300 people leaving. Oh great it broke! So we waited it out. We get in the quiet queue, and turn to the steps, where we see a bunch of people just sitting and chillaxin! We were all talking and having a good time! They reopened the ride, and we all got on the same train! Pabbles and I were the only ones in the last row, and after a minute of checking we were clear. The seats lowered, and we didn't move. We sat there for a little while, before they lifted us half way, stopped, then went up all the way, then lowered all the way back down again for an other minute! Then they lifted us up again and they unlocked the train, and had them recheck it again! Then we repeated the same process as before, but the second time we went down, we actually dispatched! (Figures I'd break Batwing). The ride is so cool. This is so much better that Superman Ultimate Flight. We got off, and ran back around, where we ran into a kid who we were talking to before. -Dainan "I'm what you'd call...bad luck" Rafferty

I didn't see the point of Cedar Point adding Wicked Twister...in fact, I still don't see the point.

Look at me and JR's face! -Dainan "Ira just sent me this picture" Rafferty

^If you want to see more SFGAv go read my other Trip Reports. This video shoot was strictly at Kingda Ka. Even though with the rain, we were all hoping they'd move us to El Toro -Dainan "It was also my last visit to the park this year" Rafferty

Well, the day started off very wet. I went to school a bit worried, after my last class, my mom picked me up and we drove straight to GA. We got there at around 12:45pm, making perfect time. I'm not going to get into to detail. But we got at least 15 rides on Kingda Ka. There were 3 rollbacks, but none for us. The first 7 rides were in the rain. And for the few who rode in the front row (myself included) in the rain, we all know why they don't operate this ride with even the slightest amount of rain. Quote of the day: JR: "It's freezing, let's go to Magic Mountain!" Photos: We arrived a bit worried about the rain! I just love this shot of GASM Mom's all ready! JR and I are ready Getting ready for testing, but it then broke so they ended up doing a reset. Random shot of people number 1 Random shot of people number 2 Let's try it again Barely even inched over, but it made it. Me, Adam, and JR So we were a bit nervous about riding in the rain, and debating if this was a good idea. Tom was prepared. Frank and Steve (who is also prepared) We barely filled two trains. Which was great! Angel Aristone and other park's people I do not know It was suprisingly smooth in the back. JR and I preparing for our front row ride in the rain! Do we look prepared? JR and I in the front row in the rain (Video) And this is how we looked after. Why yes, I am stupid! Signing waivers so we can be on TV. Some of you may of heard of Soccer Moms! But these right here are Coaster Moms! My mom (left) and JR's mom (right). This may look like a normal picture of Dan...but if this was video, it would of been a lot different! Random shot of people number 3 Angela and Matt! Discovery Channel crew getting ready 1 Discovery Channel crew getting ready 2 Discovery Channel crew getting ready 3 This camera ended up causing some problems later on. JR, Ira, Me, Brenda, and Adam. After this, the camera broke so there are no more pictures from me. But we ended up being finished at 7:15pm, over and hour than we were supposed to be there! I also want to give a special thanks to Wade for getting me in, being I had no luck with ACE (I've learned to now check my e-mails more than once a day!) -Dainan "It really was one of the best Media Shoots I've ever done!" Rafferty

You obviously haven't seen the one at Coney Island! -Dainan "It's about the same" Rafferty

I'm really gratefull you all liked the video. I really worked on hard on it. And those rolls were NOT smooth -Dainan "I will miss my ride though" Rafferty

^Hehe, Top one if from my friend Tom who runs AmusmentPics. The bottom two are mine, and the middle one was taken the final weekend. I also made a Chiller video here. I do want to point out that there are alot of Chiller videos being made, and alot of them having my pictures and/or videos in it. -Dainan "I've been Chilled since Opening day 2nd train" Rafferty

Well, this is not all my footage. It's mine, Dan Lockward's, and Chris Chavan's. This was a group NEC video, so we even had some help from Josh Davidson and Amanda Gagnon, though I did all the editing and what not. Anyway, this is our tribute to Batman and Robin: The Chiller. I hope you like it! -Dainan "Feedback encouraged" Rafferty

^hehe, Media Day photos are mine. And the footage in that video is also mine. -Dainan " " Rafferty
