SFGAm 7/25

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby DejaVuGurl1203 on July 26th, 2006, 1:00 am
We got there around 11, I wanted to go on SSA first but the line was outside of the building so we decided to wait until later when there would be no line. Walked past Deja Vu, and then decided to go on River Rocker just because my boyfriend had never been on it and he wants to go on every ride there, and I think we accomplished that today (not including pay rides and kiddie rides). It was my 2nd time riding it, for a reason. Not much to say about this ride.

Raging Bull's line was either full or close to full. I thought that the rest of the lines would be that bad and that it was insanely odd, but we later found out why Bull's line was so long. We walked around a bit and decided to go on the train, another ride I never took him on before. We were going past SWT and noticed, Viper was closed! I was disappointed. No wonder Bull's line was so long, plus the fact that everyone ran to it too probably. We stayed on the train to go back to County Fair. Once we got off we got in line for Iron Wolf, got on in about 20 minutes. For some reason I really enjoyed this ride.

I asked him not to, but my dad bought Flash Passes... So we used them on V2 next. Waited for row 13. Guess what, the holding brake didn't work this time! It was an interesting experience. Next we used Flash Pass on BTR. This was a 10 minute wait and we went in back row. For some reason I REALLY enjoyed BTR, Iron Wolf, and V2 today, more than usual. I got off BTR wanting to go again and again. We walked into Mardi Gras and got in the short line for KC and got right on. Then we decided to go on Big Easy Balloons, another ride I never took him on. At least there was a nice breeze on the ride.

Next was Superman, which we used Flash Pass. Wait was about 10 minutes and we rode in the back. I still enjoy this ride. Then, went on SSA next, got right on. I thought this was way better than Stargate. We walked into SWT, noticed that Viper was open but I didn't feel like waiting for it. We go by Bull's line and it looks about a 15 minute wait, NO switchbacks open. It was just phenomenal, a few hours earlier it was pretty full. But we had to use up the Flash Passes, so we did. Did this in back row, eh, I didn't enjoy it as much as usual.

Then we used the flash pass on Giant Drop. After going to the car to eat, we needed a soaking so we used the last flash passes on Roaring Rapids. I was happy we did, we got pretty soaked, great way to cool off. Then we did BTR again and the line was pretty short, but what sucked is we had to walk through most of the switchbacks. 20 minute wait. I got off wanting to go on again, but the line was longer. This time I didn't grey out while going through the zero g roll which was cool. Then we waited 10 minutes to get on V2 in the back row. The holding brake worked this time.

Next was Iron Wolf again... 10 minute wait for back row. Then decided to ride AER, and actually there were much less people in AER's station than in AEB's. We walked right onto back row in the new red train. While on the brake run I noticed that one Elvis car they have during Fright Fest, which was off to the side. We went on the train again because we needed to sit down, and stayed on coming back to CF again. We went on Iron Wolf one more time. I hit my funny bone on the brake run.

Next was BTR again, 20 minute wait. Then V2 again. This time was a little scary going up the back spike so fast and so high, for some reason, but that made it more fun. Next, we headed to Vu. Earlier it had switchbacks open, now it didn't. It was a 35 minute wait for 8b and a very awesome ride.

We finally went on Viper... 20 minute wait. Not as good of a ride as usual cause my lap bar actually got pushed down on me for once, but still awesome since it was night time. Then got in line for Bull and planned to go in front row. We waited around 40 minutes. Bull, in front row, at night, is just completely AMAZING. I have to ride this in the front more often. Before heading to Vu we hopped onto Ricochet, and stayed on for another ride since we had time. Then went to Vu at the last couple minutes. We ended up getting on the 2nd to last train of the night. Awesome ride. I asked one of the ride ops if we could stay on and she let us, but then another one of the ride ops said no, and most of the train was empty. It was a great day.

^ I almost went to the park that day, but the heat was unbarable, so I didn't.

Hah, I totally agree. The day we went to VF the heat index was over 100.
