SFGAm 4/4/09 PTR

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby kumba830 on April 5th, 2009, 6:57 pm
This Saturday (SFGAm's second day of operation for the season) was AWESOME

I was suppose to go on opening day but there were a few problems so we delayed the trip to be the next day.

I was nervous that there would be a big crowd since it was a weekend but to my surprise it was almost as deserted as opening day!



Little Sum-Up of the day...

When we got there I noticed that they didn't let us into the park part way like they usually do.
First my palls and I ran off to the Whizzer figuring that since pretty much all the people there looked like teens that we would have the ride to ourselves for a while. I noticed that the Whizzer while still great fun isn't as good if its foliage is not fully grown in and it's just all these naked ugly trees, as well as it seemed to be running a bit sluggish. To our surprise when we got back into the station there was actually people in line and we figured we would just head to some other ride.

Next we stopped by the ever loved Viper. Rode it twice with out getting off and gosh was it running well! It was running a bit faster than I remember last year and I soaked up every minute of yummy air time I could.

Rode Bull twice (had to go trough line again even though there were open rows and it had one train running) [3 min wait] then [walk on]

Then we decided to marathon Viper...
We rode it 14 times in a row without leaving the station (if there were people waiting to ride for our row we would run to another seat.) But sadly we had to leave because we couldn't find any seats that time around.

Hit up American Eagle: Red once and it was running a bit slow but much smoother than last year. [walk on]

Then demon [waited one cycle] ... Got owned on Iron Wolf [walk on]
Rode batty [walk on]

Against my will my friends dragged me onto TDK. (Because the line is heated...wimps) [15 min]

We also had a strange obsession with King Chaos that day... I don't know why. Rode it allot!

We rode a few flats and re-visited some of the coasters.... Didn't have to wait for anything unless there was the rare wait of like 4min.

[I also got mad at my GP friends that wanted to go inside all the time because they though it was cold... so that wasted about 1hr 30min wich made me mad Taiko Laughing

It was the Best SFGAm trip ever!

Dark Knight was long at the end of the night (Long for that day - Line backed up a little bit past the preshow), and it's probably because of how cold it was. I wasn't thinking it was cold, and all of these people are going to flock to that ride. It had to be like a 20 minute wait.
