Yeah. We went today because of the exclusive early entrance to HH. I had not realized until this morning that it was also going to be CAD, lol. Anyway, we left kinda late, but there was no traffic so everything was good. Ugh... I think I love HH more than I love the amusement park, lol. I can't get enough of those slides!! Here's how it went:

Wave Pool - A Lot.
Tornado - 3; 1 time was with a kid who was going to ride alone and it was his first time, so yeah... he had to ride with us. Hehe he was telling me that he was nervous and stuff.
Vortex - 3; The second time we went on Vortex, the lifegaurd turned the raft around as if we would go backwards, but I thought he was just joking and was going to turn us back around, but he didn't... and we went down backwards! OMG!!! IT WAS SO FRICKIN' AWESOME AND INTENSE! While going down, I screamed "You're awesome, Thank You!" Lol we were having so much fun. It made us want to go on it again so we did, and the lifeguards rotated and so I told this other lifeguard who was now at Vortex, that the other one made us go backwards. I was trying to hint to him that he make us go backwards too lol, but he said it isn't really allowed. DARN! That is an experience I willl never forget.
Typhoon - 2
Baracuda - 1
Hammerhead - 1
Bahama Mama - 2
Bubba Tubba - 1

Wahoo racers were closed, and so were the body slides, due to staffing I assume. But the body slides were open after we left! I was a liittle mad...

Anyhow, ride totals for GAm:

Bull - 1
Viper - 1, in the rain!
BTR - 1
ERC - 1
KC - 1
IW - 1 (which I rode alone... boyfriend hates IW, and wasn't feeling well at the time anyway. I haven't ridden it in months, so I figured hey why not. It wasn't bad.)
AER - 1
AEB - 1
Whizzer - 1
GD - 1
STT - 1; last ride of the night. Amazing, I've never been on it at night before. The park is so beautiful.

It started raining around 8ish and it wouldn't stop. It kinda sucked. But to end the night we decided to ride STT, which we had to wait in the pouring rain for it but I think it was worth it, even though the cabin was FREEEEZING! My boyfriend didn't want to stay for CAD and didn't even want to stay til closing. Frickin' bastard... Just my luck right? GUH he makes me so mad!! One reason though is because he finds the water park a lot more fun and is kinda bored of the coasters. I love HH too, but I still love the coasters! Whatever, guys stink.

When I was on Wolf, I saw something in the employee lot that I didn't recognize. It looked like maybe a support. It was like, greenish-tealish in color. Can someone confirm what this is?

^ That green tube is probably for some sort of utility maintenance/replacement. It doesn't appear to be anything ride related as there are no flanges on the ends to bolt it to other parts.
