Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby RollingCoasting on August 3rd, 2015, 11:19 pm
Went to the park today. I thought since Read to Succeed ended yesterday, the crowds would've died down. Turns out, it was basically the same as my last trip. :(
We got there at around 3:20
We started with lunch since we got there so late, lol. Go Fresh Cafe in Orleans Place. Slowest service we've ever had there.
We were going to ride V2 first. However, we didn't see the ride going, so we assumed it was down. We went to Yankee Clipper, instead. While entering the line, I noticed the train looked misparked. The last three cars or so were not in the station. About 30 minute wait for Clipper. Barman had a long line so we skipped it. Went to Eagle Blue next. Got row two :) Next we decided to wait for X-Flight. About a 30 minute wait for row 4. Fun ride. Just short. We went to Raging Bull next. 30 minute wait or so. Lately, we've been assigned somewhere in the middle. Today, we lucked out and got row 8. The drop is so much better in the back. After this, we had dinner at JB's for the first time. It was great! Best eatery in the park, easily. There boneless chicken wings are actually chicken wings, not chicken strips dipped in sauce. Cough totally kick in chicken cough. We wanted to ride Viper, but the line was ... Eh. We couldn't decide what to ride next. We literally did another lap around the park and did nothing, lol. Although frozen lemonade is back at sticky fingers finally after almost a year! I also noticed that V2 looked like it was parked back in the station normally. We left around 8:30
My ride count is horrible, but yeah
Yankee Clipper - 1
American Eagle Blue - 1
X-Flight - 1
Raging Bull - 1
Now for pictures :)

I would just say ask the row assigner for the last row on Raging Bull, as long as you don't have more than 4 people. I've only been denied Row 9 once, out of maybe like 15 times I asked. A couple of times they even let me wait extra for last row, which is worth it to me.
