Let us know how your day at the park was.

I've been meaning to do this for so long... Gosh. I had a dream I posted my TR on here from 10/5 and 11/2. That was over a week ago though. It motivated me to post, but I never ended up doing it till now.

Dang, I don't even remember anymore. :( I'll try...

10/5 Ride Totals
The Black Widow - 2; 1 Red 1 Blue
BTR - 2
Bull - 2 or 3
Viper - 1 in the rain!
GAR - 2 (FREAKING LOVE THIS RIDE)
Whizzer - 1
Cajun - 1
Dark Knight - 1; 10 minute wait! Amazing!
V2 - 1
Orbit - 1
Drop - 1
Demon - 1
King Chaos - 1
Pit and the Pendulum - 1

I can't recall anything else. I suppose that was all. I do know we went through the Demon Scare Zone, which SCARED the crap out of me. And the Cell Block at SSA - that was a real funny experience. Necropolis was nice as always. Loved the characters. It was an amazing day seeing as it rained and kept crowds away.

11/2 Ride Totals
Bull - 3
BTR - 1
Black Widow - 1 Red
King Chaos - 1
Pit and the Pendulum - 1
Orbit - 1
Whizzer - 1
The Birds - 1
GAR - 2 (It's not really going, is it??=[)
Viper - 1

Again, went through Necro a few times, Demon Scare Zone, and the Cell Block. There were not many characters out today which was very disappointing. Also, we watched LAFF - my first time seeing it since 2004. Amazing. And we also watched the parade, I LOVE that song... I want that song so bad, exactly as it sounds at SFGAm. I was wearing my Urlacher jersey this day, and also listened to the entire Bears game on my cell phone, which made the day so exciting. When we went through the Cell Block, one of the characters said "Urlacher, huh? Show me what you've got!" And I just shoved past him lmao, and he said "WUSS!" Then as we were coming out, another character said "Go Bears! Screw Detroit, right?" Or something like that. Haha. After the parade, I wanted to go ride Bull one last time. Jason did not want to, but I dragged him over there. It was still a very long line, outside of the queue. He definitely didn't want to wait, and even said it wasn't worth it. But we stayed, and we waited. It was not a very long wait surprisingly. We were in line for the back row, and as they were announcing, we realized we'd be on second to last train (seems to always happen that way for me.). I noticed the people in line in back of us... I said, "Hey, weren't you guys in line for the last ride of Deja Vu last year? I was RIGHT in front of you guys! I asked you if you wanted to go in front of us!" Oh my gosh... how weird lol. The younger guy said, "Yeah, I'm feelin' a bit of Deja Vu right now..." Oh it was such a weird coincidence. I know he posted a trip report from last year's closing day, but I can't remember what his username was. Anyway, so we got on Bull in the back row, and the guys behind us were going to be last train. Well, I mesmerized the moments on Bull... tried to enjoy every moment. As we came back, we saw that they were letting the train before us go again! I was thinking, they HAVE to let us go again too! And the train in back of us. So, we all yelled in hopes of another ride, and we got it! Of course, last train got their re-ride too. It was AMAZING!!!!!! Best freaking way to end the year. I was surprised they let all 3 trains re-ride. After our re-ride, I thanked the ride ops because I was so shocked and happy with that re-ride, haha.

You know what sucks? My boyfriend is sick of SFGAm, except for Hurricane Harbor. He doesn't want to go there anymore, he wants to go to other parks. I'd totally love to go to other parks too, but I still love SFGAm. It's going to be a tough time next year... I don't know how many opportunities we'll have to go to other parks, seriously.

I left about an hour before the park closed so 7ish. Had I been alone, I would have stayed till the end in hopes of getting a re-ride in. Honestly, it was really sad and I too tried to capture every moment in my head. I didn't even mind blowing so much money on 3 GOLD flash passes (My brother gave $30 so I ended up with $120) which is ridiculous I know. I wish the park would consider adding a flash pass entrance to AT LEAST Eagle, Viper & Demon. C'mon. The passes, especially the gold, are e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e. I would probably get them more often (every visit) if they had EVERY RIDE. Even the flats like Revolution and King Chaos should be added. THIS is what I want for the park in 09. BTW, how was it leaving the park with everyone else at closing? I never saty till the end so do they make an announcement saying you need to get the heck out of there?

I often stay until closing. If I remember correctly, they have an announcement at 15 minutes, 10 minutes, and 5 minutes prior to closing, and of course at closing. "The park will be closing in 15 minutes/10 minutes/5 minutes" and they say more but I don't have them memorized lol. People may not always hear them though, because I sure don't hear every announcement every time I go. You could either be riding a ride, in line for a ride where it's loud or there aren't those speakers nearby, or just simply running to a ride so you may not always hear them. It was a good closing day, although I kept hoping it would be an empty park, or at least some crowds but not a lot.
