I hope they power wash the old yellow arrows off the floor of the unload station. It was kinda odd disembarking the train and having the arrows point in the opposite direction of the exit.

I am worried i may be too fluffy for this ride. The only two rides i have ever not been able to fit on are Drop Tower at KI and Wicked Twister at CP.
 
Intamin built Volcano and KD's drop tower as well as the 2 rides you mentioned. Chances are they are very similar if not exactly the same restraints and seats.
 
Yes, this is why i am a bit worried. I've got three months to work on it until i arrive.

I'm a big (formerly heavy) dude. Volcano has never given me issue with its restraints. Also, I know you mentioned elsewhere you are going to BGW and KD so here's some Volcano advice: if you get to the park when it opens, ride it first. Otherwise you will wait (and wait... and wait... and wait) in line. It's a good ride but I personally wouldn't wait more than 15 minutes for it. So if this is on your list of must rides, knock it out first.

Backlot also has semi-terrible capacity - so after Volcano, you may want to hit that one up next.

As of right now the plan is to get Volcano and FoF out of the way first. i know how stupid lines get and how slow moving they are for FoF so i want to be done with it early. Backlot will merely just be a credit for me, i wont be completely heartbroken if i miss it.
 
I've been on Backlot on Sundays during the summer, it's hardly had any line at all everytime I've ridden it, mostly due to its low draw.

I'm a big guy and have had trouble on a few rides, alpengeist for one. I was close on wicked twister but made it with help. I have never felt close on Volcano.I think you should be fine on it.

I heard that KD was stepping up Haunt decorations on all their coasters. This theme is titled "Track Kill" (as opposed to "Road Kill").

P.S. Does anyone know if Fabio was visiting the park last night?

For the safety of all animals in the future, I demand that KD remove Volcano and put a dark ride back in the mountain.

The raccoon's lawyer faulted the park for not making the fence at least 10 feet tall with clearer signage to avoid entering restricted areas.
 
Those of which complain that Intimidator gets low attendance compared to Volcano must not have ever been to the park when only on train is running. When 1 train is running on i305 the line gets longer and longer... 32 peeps per train just like volcano running 2 trains. On a Saturday the park decided to open the park up with 1 train running on i305 and quickly realized that that needed to be fixed. Park opened at 10 and by 12:30 I waited 43 min(I timed). Strange thing about I305 is that when one train is running its line is monstrous but when both are running people complain that the ride draws no crowd. May I note that the ride added its second train around 2oclck and the line extended to something that I hadn't seen since opening day

Correction to my last sentence **** Before the second train was added around 2 the line was like it was opening day. For whatever reason the ride is a walk on when 2 are running? Maybe its just a weird number of seats? So its kinda hard to maintain a healthy line for the ride if you already know its going to be long AF or a walk on. What do yall think?
