Well, today was my first time driving to the park by myself! (Well, I was with a friend...) So, we got to the park at around 9:15, and was in the park by 9:30. Sat around and chatted for a while, till they opened the chains. We were one of the first eight people over at Raging Bull. They were still doing the morning testing. Well, we're in line for front row when all of a sudden the lift shut down with a train right at the top. I'm guessing proxy error and a block violation, just because it stopped right at the top? Well, I don't know... Anyway, finally a Ride Electronics truck shows up and a mechanic shows up to save the day! Finally, after messin' with the operator panel for a while, the lift starts up, and the ride is ready for operation. We got our ride, and it was an awesome way to start the day!After that we headed over to Viper which was a walk-on for 1:3. Great ride, tons of the usual airtime
.Next was Giant Drop, just because I think it's the only thing in the park that somewhat "scares" me lol!
We took a ride on Ricochet which was a lot of fun!After that we went over to ride Eagle Blue with a 5 minute wait. Nice ride...And for our last ride before lunch, we headed into Superman's grueling line. There was about a 15 minute breakdown while we were half way through the line. After a long time though we finally got our ride, and after getting off, I was happy again!
Now I'll just show my totals, since the rest of the day was a pretty normal day with kind of big crowds (but I'm spoiled, used to early June/May crowds)...AE Blue - 1AE Red - 1Batman - 1Deja Vu - 0Demon - 2Fiddler's Fling - 1Giant Drop - 3Iron Wolf - 1Orbit - 1Raging Bull - 4Ricochet - 1S:UF - 2Triple Play - 1Whizzer - 1V2 - 0Viper - 2
Interesting Stuff- V2 was down today... Don't know if that was interesting. No work being done on it at all. Anyone know anything?- No visual indications of anything on Deja Vu.- I found another stuffed object on Viper! It's a snake! You'll see it if you look at the very first "turn-around" as your exiting.- Some stupid person in line for Giant Drop was talking stupid. He was convinced that on The Edge the car climbed the elevator shaft and dropped like usual, but then it just flew off the end, killing four people lol. After that he said they tore it down and melted it.
And then he thought the pistons on the bottom of Giant Drop were "backup" brakes in case the main brakes fail. Well, obviously he didn't know the brakes were magnetic and therefore basically fail-proof.- I forgot, I thought there was something else I wanted to say, but now I can't remember... I'll let you know if I do lol.
