Let us know how your day at the park was.

First TR for me lets see how I am at these...


Got to the park around 10:30 and decided to break my usual habit and head to the right side of the park first. First up was Whizzer. Good ride as always, but those breaks are a killer. Next was Demon. Amazing ride and no wait. Could have walked on again but I decided it was time to challenge the viper. Rode in the second to last car, and it seemed slowed then usual but still gave some good air time. After that I headed over to eagle only to find that only red side was running. I rode red side, and the op said that blue side was going to open later so I put that on my to do list. After eagle I decided to ride Batman. It was about a 10 minute wait and it seemed rougher than usual. Next I was a good person and waited 2 hours to ride TDK because my brother had never been on it before. I noticed more theming in the ride this time around but IMHO its not worth the wait. Dont get me wrong I do enjoy the ride though. Next was superman. This was about a 30 minute wait, and it was the best ride of the day. After SUF I decided to head back to eagle to see if blue side was open yet. It wasnt so I decided to grab a quick ride on IW. Terrible idea. I knew it was a headbanger, but i think it has gotten worse. The whole train got off unhappy with three people saying outloud "that ride sucks, it hurts so much". Anyway after wolf eagle blue was open so I grabbed a ride and a back row re-ride on it. Amazing airtime. After eagle I decided I needed some raging bull so I got front row. Good ride. I left around 7:30. Overall it was a great day to be in the park.

Notes
-BTR and SUF crews were extraordinarily fast today. Its clear that the locker policy is helping these rides. :D
-There was a dance show in the park so during the performances the park really got empty which was great.
-Standing in line for SUF I noticed that the color on that ride are really faded. Is it just me or did anyone else notice this?

Ride count
RB-1
Viper-1
Demon-2
BTR-1
Whizzer-1
AE-3
SUF-1
TDK-1
IW-1 (possibly never again)
Remember, there's nothing but air beneath the chair.

i learned about IW, and how to "Ride" it!!!

DON'T go on second, or LAST seat! (VERY BAD IDEA)

Front seat knocks you around the least.

Also, to prevent head-banging, lean your head to the right BEFORE the Corkscrew going to the left!!

Hope this helps....remember, front seat is your best choice....

Same thing for Batman, Back seat is a no-no, Front is a go-go!!
