June 27 My first time this season...Great

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby highroller13 on June 28th, 2004, 3:24 pm
My cousins Dustin, Channing and I arrived at the park at exactly 9:09. We immediatly took some pictiuSince we don't have season passes (even though I was promised one) we used the coke can discount. We waited in the securty check gate for waht seemed like forever. Then at 9:30, tey let us in. Dustin and Channin hadn't rode Superman so we ran there. There was a line forming from the quene entrance. We joined that line and were about the 30th guests there. At exactly 10:00, they let us in the quene.

We waited about 15 minutes for the front. There was some musty people in front of us and it was starting to choke me but... The ride was great, I had forgotten about the airtime coming into the loop and it really got me by surprise.
Rating - 8

We continued through the park to the Mardi Gras section. It was crowded so we just walked through. The Batman had a short line so we walked in. Everyone was quening for 2-8 so we walked up to the front. We waited for about 8 minutes then we were on. The ride was great, it was so intense. Batman is "HAULING" this year.
Rating - 8.5

So after a great ride we head to Iron Wolf. It was a walk on, only 5 minutes for the front. It started off good, but the when it went into the corkscrew it was really rough. They should but brakes on that that little straight away before the corkscrew.

We headed over to the Eagle but I told them that we had to ride Revolution. So we did, the line wasn't long about a 10 minute wait. At first it was just kinda fun and when it stopped spinnig I was mad. I thought that was the end. I was very wrong, when it started spinnig the other way it was fun, very intense. I loved it.

Afterwards, we went to the Eagle. We decided that Red was the better ride. We waited for about 18 minutes for the back. It was a great ride, I forgot about all the airtime. I was surprized to say I loved it. Also the trains were racing, this is the first time i've seen this happen in years so that was a plus.

We saw that Deja Vu was running so we went there. This is where the lines got long. The line was right at the entrance of the quene. We decided to wait it out, about 10 mins. into the line, the annocement came that it had broken down. Lots of people were mad and left, but we stayed. After about 45 minutes we got on the back. WOW!!! the drop from the tower is incredible. There is some great airtime. I love that ride.

Were all the switchbacks being used when you got in line for DejaVu?

...no way with a 45 minute wait it had to be straight shot.
Althogh it must have all been used later and out the entrance.

If it was a 45 minute wait, the switchbacks weren't open yet.

Yesterday, everything had a full queue and then some. I haven't seen the park that packed in a few years. Eagle was the only line that wasn't completely full, but it was using part of the queue in the tent. Raging Bull was full and the line extended outside to Crazy Buffalo Saloon almost all day. Very, Very crowded.
Go Bulls!

I sort of misread that. Was Stargate and Sky Trek's lines full? Stargate has a lot of queue line that I can't ever imagine being filled.
