Stark Raven Mad - Lets talk people!
As for the event getting boring. That all depends on what type of person you are. I know of a few people that usually end up napping on a bench somewhere during ERT because they are not into talking coasters with other folks.
However, every SRM event I have done (since year 1) has been a truly amazing time. I never have gotten bored, but I have gotten tired a few times, but as soon as I get on one of those monsters at night, it wakes me right up. The nights seem to last forever at one of these events. True, the park is small and doesn't have as many rides as some of the 'big boys', but the quality of that park can't be touched. Just you wait and see what the darkness can do to those that dare ride at night. BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!
The next morning after SRM can be brutal. I usually end up having a coaster hangover and can be grumpy at times, but not always. This year is going to be really different because there is going to be two days of it. Talk about positive abuse! I think I may skip on the waterslide ERT depending on how I feel in that morning.
To answer your second question, I will be there. This is THE event of the year that I don't miss.

Hey Sean--
I will track you down early Saturday morning and drag you there! If *I* have to be there...*you* do, too! :)
Seriously, I am wondering how many people will want to do the morning ERT on ZOOMbabwe. We're planning to poll everyone as they pick up their registration packets, but I guess a more true number would be realized if we asked SRMers as they left the park late Friday night.
Three months to go!

Jeff Hammersly is THE guy I'd want maintaining wooden coasters at any park...really hoping he decides to start giving classes on coaster maintenance to those poor folks who "try" to maintain RT, RWB, MS, etc...

I'm already looking forward to it, and it's only February. I'm bringing at least 3 Holiday World Newbies with me, too. Can't wait...

Do I really *have* to be there? I thought my 'apperance contract' with you folks ran out last year? LOL!
I like the idea of asking people as they leave the first night about ERT on Zoom........um........excuse me, ZOOMbabwe, however, if it's like any other SRM, most people walk out of that park in total shock, and usually can't say a thing. =:^)
I do know of some waterpark die hards that are looking forward to riding Zoomy. It does look fun!
-Sean (who looks at SRM as more of something he HAS to do, as opposed to something he wants to do. It's that good folks!)
Anyway, I did not find SRM to be boring in the least. Draining, possibly, but not boring. If you have the urge to go, go and satisfy your curiosity. But if you really do not want to go, then dont go.

Charles Nungester, you are so right about having to stop, even if you don't want to. the intensity of The Legend gave me a head ache after ERT last year at a different event. I haven't gotten to take part in a SRM yet, but I plan to...hopefully my first summer after my freshman year in college at Purdue...I hope that the PTC will make The Legend more re-rideable.

I at one point rode Legend 7 times straight on SRM saturday. I had a couple guest with me that rode about 15.
I never disliked the G trains at all. I do feel that more padding in the bottom and sides would make it better but I really will miss the dividerless rides.
Quote from two of my guest on one front seat ride on Legend last SRM.
Brother airbourne in final turn: "I was airbourne that whole corner!"
Co rider: Thats good because I was in your seat!
Chuck who will wait and see but really dispises Dividers.

Well Ms. Maven, I can pretty much say you can count me OUT for ZBW ERT. While most sane people would *leap* at a chance to see Chuck, Sean and Greg in speedoes, I'm just not a waterpark fan. Hmmmm, maybe I just bring a camera and take "blackmail Shots".

I will only make my apperance in Speedos for money!
Chuck, who will totally enjoy HW's waterpark when people he don't know are there. Otherwise its trunks and a T shirt for me.

This will be my 2nd visit to Holiday World and I'm also looking foward to Zoombabwe. How are the wait times for The Legend & The Raven during ERT since this will be my first club event?

Last year wait times early were about 1/2hr to 45 minutes but legends two trains should cut that way down. By about 11:30 Raven had about a 2 cycle wait and Legend was down to about 15 minutes.
You want mass rides? Saturday afternoon baby or specifically when they take the walking tour of Ravenswood. I must have ridden both coasters 20+ times on saturday after SRM friday. Of course we got another night of ERT :) And whats fun about that is being around other coaster enthuisat as well as the two most insane nightime coasters in the world!
Chuck, Who wouldn't miss another SRM unless it was a family emergency. (Weddings Don't count people) Tell them to change the date :)!

Well, I'm not a waterpark person. At ALL.
On the other hand, what other time am I going to be able to show off my barcode in public? ;)
