well today had to be the most crowded day of the year. when my mom dropped me and my gf at the park, she left and saw on the sign that the sign said "Park Full. Come Back Tomorrow."
ive never seen that happen before. well i was sad that Dejavu wasnt open.
i was looking forward to riding it. It was really hard to get on the rides. each line for every ride had atleast an 45 min - 1 hour wait most of the day. we decided to get fastpasses. it was well worth it today.
We started off to Viper like we usually do. The que was about 3/4 full. after viper we headed to Raging Bull. That ride was having alot of problems. it was something with the brakes by the station.
after the breakdown, the que was getting full FAST. after Raging Bull we went to look at the que for Demon. IT WAS 100% FULL!! i couldnt believe it. it was even out of the que wrapped around that small snack stall. we didnt get on demon at all cus we didnt want to wait in that line. So we headed to American Eagle where the line was the same way. since both sides were open, we waited and the line went fast. Iron Wolf had a 100% full que and we were gonna use our fastpass for it. well we didnt bother with that ride since the fastpass line was out of the que too. Loggers run was jammed and IMS wasnt open; so we headed to V2. i never saw the line like it was. It was 100% full in the que and it wrapped around the outside of it around the back that food place, and then around the front and ended by the V2 enterance. we used the fastpass and waited about 10 minutes for row 2. then we headed to batman: the ride. the que again was full, into thier little switchback, back behind East River Crawler and then it was at the extra enterance and then out of that que and backed up to the character greeting. we used our fastpass and after 1 short breakdown, we waited about 25 minutes for row 1. we passed superman and the line was back to the bumper cars. we decided to ride the train for awhile. shockwave is still sitting there. its getting hard to see it from the grass starting to cover it. then we went to Whizzer and waited about 30-45 minutes. someone came up on the loudspeakers for the whole park and announced that there were severe storm warnings, but there were only a few drops the whole day. then we went to American Eagle again where the line was shorter. we went on blue this time. wait was about 20 minutes. then we headed back to raging bull where both switchbacks were full and it was backed up to that basketball game. they were giving out boarding passes. but we used our last fastpass for it instead of waiting. we waited about 10 minutes. all three trains were running all day. after raging bull we went to Viper again where the wait was somewhat long. it was now about 9:00. we went to American Eagle again (since that was the only ride with a low line). blue was only running. most of the day the trains didnt race.
then our last ride at about 9:45 was raging bull again. we got on the last train of the night. hopefully it wont be this crowded again. atleast not till frightfest.todayAmerican Eagle: 3 ridesViper: 2 ridesWhizzer: 1 rideV2: 1 rideBTR: 1 rideRaging Bull: 3my totalsSix Flags Great America visits: 8Whizzer: 7 RidesViper: 13 RidesRaging Bull: 21 RidesAmerican Eagle: 17 RidesDemon: 18 RidesVertical Velocity: 11 RidesIron Wolf: 7 RidesBatman: The Ride: 9 RidesSuperman: Ultimate Flight : 10 Rides
