Got to the park around 345 and noticed right away that the parking lot was somewhatly full, not using the overflow yet though which was good. I was still expecting pretty heavy lines though. I walked to Superman right away to be astonished that none of the queue house was filled. I jumped in line and after 20 mins. and 1 breakdown, I was in the backrow and had a fantastic ride.
We then just walked into the back of the park and took a ride on Iron Wolf, which is now one of my favorites. It's been nice and smooth this year and I've been riding it in the backrow, the forces are amazing in that figure 8! After IW we were hot, and Loggers Run was only a few steps away so I decided why not. At the top of the lift hill I was just saying, Why did we do this!?? I got soaked but it's ok, good ride. We kept walking and took a ride on Batman after a gigantic 2 1/2 minute wait. Batman was hauling again today like usual, my legs felt tingly liek usual. It was a thing of beauty.
We walked back into the front of the park and took a ride on Sky Trek Tower like I do on every visit, I love looking at the parking lot and the park from that high. Then we walked into Southwest Territory for the first time that day. Took a ride on Viper after a 2 train wait. I got some mad air time with my lapbar higher than usual. Second to backrow+high lapbar=amazing ride on Viper. We joined the Raging Bull queue after than and the line was about 30 mins with two trains running. I got on Backrow and had another amazing first drop on Raging Bull. Did the giant drop thing, and I forgot to take a deep breath before the drop so I was like gasping for air when we hit the bottom. My friend made fun of me, oh well.
We left the Southwest and headed over to Demon, took a walkon backrow and I don't think my friend was expecting the jolt of airtime you get on the first drop, which was absolutly helarious. We were dry now, and hot again and splashwater falls was a walk on front row, so we did it! Not an inch of my body was dry after that ride...at the exit I sqeezed water out of my socks and shoes. Wow, it's only 7 oclock and we've gotten a lot in!
We elected to take a ride on the American Eagle next and opted to go backwards, and am I glad we did! It was running great! The first 3 drops are all you need to get great airtime that your not expecting! Barely any trims on the big helix too, great ride. We then went on AE:R and had an ok ride, my lapbar was down pretty low and the trims were on very high but oh well. Then we went on Iron Wolf, and boarded the train. 3 mosquito bites later we were in Hometown square and we were hungry. Got a slice of Pizza at Firehouse which was excellent and I saw Brad there too. Decided I'd say hello. "Hey Brad!" We walked around somemore, passed Demon then took another ride on AE:B which was again, a great ride. It was getting dark and we felt like a V:2 night ride because I have never had a V2 nightride before. We found two more friends 5 people ahead of us in line and we got on the train right after them. It was about a 20 minute line but worth it! This thing rocks at night! Yay V2!
Now it was after 9 and CAD was underway. We got out our passes and hit Iron Wolf first. I have never been on this at night either! I think it is so much better at night I absolutly loved it. After Iron Wolf we figured out that two of our friends have never been on Raging Bull at night. After my face turned from this:
we went right to Raging Bull. After about a 30 minute wait we were on Backrow and had an extrodinary nightride, just the way it should be! We ran to Viper and had about a 20 minute wait thanks to a breakdown. I was very happy though because a mechanic got there very fast and the ride ops talked to us in line and actually told us what was going on. Belive it or not I've never had a nightride on Viper either, I actually had some unexpected airtime which freaked me out a little! Great Ride!
We ran back to Giant Drop and had about a 5 minute wait, cool ride. We then passed everything and went on Batman at night which was hauling again. It was really flying at night and my friends loved it. It was 10:35 so we backtracked back to American Eagle and went on Blue and had such an awesome ride we took a reride because the ride ops were being so nice. We had such a good reride we opted for another reride which was just as good! Then there was somebody in our row so we flew down the exit ramp and the announcement of "The park is now closed, come agian" came on with the song. We got to the entrance as the song came on and the nice lady let us back inline. We took the final train on red and had an amazing ride! I had good airtime and just had plain fun. We started chanting "One more time" at the end of the ride but no luck, probably because there was a manager standing on Blue's side but oh well. It was an amazing afternoon/night. I got so many rides it I couldn't believe it. I can't wait until July 21st!
