Head towards Bull.

But first. I ride Demon And whats that I hear.

Its the Demon Song.
Next I go to Bull.

Scared me to death.

I then head to Viper.

Loads of Airtime, as usual.
And, its a walk on.

Back to Bull. Its a walk on, I ride and then re-ride.

Then I head back over to Superman. It broke down once again, but I wait it out. Front Row. Great ride.

After that I headed over to Condor. Great ride. Walk on. After that, I went over to Batman, it was a walk on again, so I re-rode 2 times after that. Then I went to Iron Wolf, Walk on. Head over to V2 and ride 8 times without getting off.

Head to Superman. Ride 5 Times, 4 in back seat, and then a solo ride in the front by myself.

Head over to batman. Ride once and move on to V2. Rode once.

Then I went to AE-Red. Rode twice. Move on to Bull. but first I stop and get some Papa Johns Cheese Bread. Yummy.

Get to Bull, walk on. Ride 8 times. Great ride. Various seats.

And then. I go to Demon, ride once. After that, I walk around, and then go to Superman, ride once and then i hear the announcement that the park was closing at 1:30 due to incliment weather, so, I leave. They handed out rainchecks, also, so i took one.

Ride total: 19

Other Notes:

Lots of Characters both days.
Plus, generic characters that matched each themed section. Such as Jesters in Mardi Gras/Orleans, and Cowboys in SWT.

Rain Checks handed out.

Smoking Areas remote.

And, only 3 rows of cars on Sunday.

Great Trip.

Yes, it is very expensive :/ Pan pizza was $19.99 I think, and a family deal of sorts was $39.99 or so ?

Awesome trip.

It look like you enjoyed your day nice report. I agree with you food is more expensive $8 for a meal in almost all food booths and restaurants I see more people going out to eat this season. Short lines and less people at the park could this happen all season because of the price changes. Wow rides where just a walkon amazing. Did you also notice how clean the park is and that they have more workers walkin around cleanin and picking up trash also the huge section in the parking lot being blocked off for Tornado construction could this section of the parking lot be a possible new coaster area or water park expansion for the park in the future????? No one really knows.

^Probably not, they need all the parking they could get and you probably won't be seeing a new big coaster for another couple of years.
