Opening Day- Day of the Dead (park)

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby Rusty888 on April 29th, 2006, 8:51 pm
Ok, I liturally just walked in the door, but I don't really remember everything that happened today, but I'll try my best.

Three friends and I arrived at the park around 9:20, got tickets at Park Services, waited in line for about 20 minutes to get into the park, and were in the 2 row of the running. After a few songs, they finally let us go, saying we should, "Walk, for our safety and the safety of other guests." Then the madness began. I was near the frount of the pack at HTS but didn't think I'd make it to RB in time so I turned of to get my season pass right away.

After becoming offical Six Flags season pass holders, we started off our year with a first row ride on RB. Then we went on Giant Drop, and headed to AE Blue. We rode that 4 times and then got off shaken but that didn't slow us down. After this, we went to B:TR for 4 straight re-rides, which was very intense. B:TR felt more intense then ever. Since it wqas about noon, we headed to Burger King only to find a huge line. So then we went to Subway.

One 6-inch roast beef sub later, we were back and ready for more. We started Round 2 with SUF. I can't really remember what happened after that, but I do remember at least 10 more rides on Giant Drop. After a while most of the rides closed and reopened meaving the park absolutely dead. The staff was very friendly and mostly downright awesome. I know I forgot a lot but here are my ride totals.

Raging Bull: 7
Giant Drop: 11+
AE Blue: 8
B:TR: 7
SUF: 2
Demon: 3
Viper: 3
Sky Trek Tower: 1
SSA: 1
Orbit:1
Viper: 3
Great American Raceway: 1
V2: 5
Whirligig: 2
BEB: 1
Condor: 2
...and then maybe a couple I forgot.

Total: 58+

10/10, AWESOME DAY!

EDIT: some spelling mistakes and I forgot something. When I was done reriding Giant Drop I yelled to the crew to say they were awesome and the girl working it was like "Your mom's awesome!" I just didn't seeing it coming and the randomness made it hilarious.
i'm rocking the suburbs, just like quiet riot did...

Ya- when I was waiting in the line to get into the park I was kicking a little, but I didn't do much because of the tight space. I'm pretty sure I saw some SFGAmWorlder's right before the run because they knew the words to all the songs that were played before the opening, and I think I passed Jon in front of the Demon a little before noon, but I was with some friends so I didn't stop.
