The park seemed to be a bit crowded today, with the temperature in the upper 70s/low 80s. Most of the rides were open today, except Deja Vu and a few water rides. I was zig-zagging across the parking lot, trying to figure out which section was the blocked-off Preferred Parking and which section was open to the GP. Then, I arrived at the front gates in the middle of the National Anthem.
The following is the list of rides from yesterday/today:S:UF 1xI didn't get the night-flight I was seeking, but I did get a dusk-flight yesterday in Row 1. Row 1 is a great ride, but Row 8 is still my favorite.B:TR 1xAgain, no night-ride but got in Row 8 for another great time yesterday.Demon 2xYou can tell when the park is crowded when there is actually a line for Demon. I got in a few rides in the back car for yet another great time.Viper 5xViper was my first stop ths morning.
I got in a mini-marathon of 3 rides in the middle of the train. Later in the day, the line for Viper grew. I got in a ride in the front car, and it was awesome.American Eagle: Blue 2xThere was no line before noon, but the line for American Eagle grew during the afternoon. The line ended past the Concession Stand and before the stairs.Raging Bull 1xI did not get in Row 8, but got in a quick ride in Row 7 for the first ride on Raging Bull for the Season.Roaring Rapids 1xOrbit 1xSky Trek Tower 1xScenic Railway 1 Round Trip.
Deja Vu is SBNO and in need of a paint job. I didn't notice the chipped paint on the blue supports during my last visits but the need for a paint job was visible during this visit. There weren't too many problems today, but a few stick out. PDA in queue for American Eagle turned into PDoEA(Public Display of Extreme Affection). There was a topic in the forum dealing with riders and casts. I noticed a handful of people who had on casts and a few in wheelchairs who had no problem getting onto rides.
