This morning started off with my friend Bryan picking me up, and we headed for Gurnee.

I couldn’t surpass taking a picture of the welcoming sign.

the first thing we did was go to the Flash Pass kiosk and bought two flash passes and got one free with my coupon.

then we went to Deja Vu! which was fineally open! while in line for about 5 minutes the ride broke down! we got out of line, rode Demon, and came back to Vu, and got an amazing ride and only waited for about ten minutes!

We saw Sylvester and said why not take a memorable moment in time….. okay so were dorks.

On the train I saw the Demon zoom past us and snapped a shot.

Bryan most definitely wasn’t a fan of Chubasco, he felt sick as we were barely spinning! That’s okay it was an enjoyable ride.

While in Southwest Territory I had noticed that Drop had gotten stuck! Luckily the riders were only halfway up and stuck for a few moments. inbetween here we ended up going to hurricane harbor for about an hour and went to Skull Island, Castaway Creek, and The Wahoo Racers.

I absolutely love the view of American Eagle from the Southwest Theatre so I took a picture.

Jimmy did NOT like this portion of the show SNAKES and a KING COBRA too! Obviously I don’t like snakes.

Wow you got some great pics. Nice TR.

I want to know what happened to Great American Idol. There was no one there the times I passed. Was the person sick or something? That animal show looks cool. I need to see that before the August 20th.
