Well we got there at 9:45, and I got in the season pass entrance, heres how it went form the chain drop.

I was at the front of the chain drop, and actually won the race to Bull,

Raging Bull:(#1) First one in line, first dispatch, back row, awesome ride.

Raging Bull:(#2) Only a 10 min wait from the stairs back row again.

Viper: Back row was a load of airtime. Not a long line.

Demon: Right by the lift hil UGH! 6:1. Great Ride.

AeB: 2nd to last row. Okay ride, walk-on.

Revolution: Meh, its great to be a single rider! Okay ride, bored me.

We stopped to eat at Farmers Market, hehe that Orange CHicken is as good as you all say. :wink:
I went over to check out V2's line, I said to myself, "Fastpass" We ran over, I used my coupn, (Buy 2 get one free) So from ehre I went to Yankee Harbor.

Determaind to go on V2, I saw the Fastpass line and it was LONG. BTR right acorss the road....

BTR: Ummm OUCH. Never again in the back row. My head still hurts.

I looked at V2's Fastpass Line and i just decided to go for it. Back Row, Once again, I love being a single rider. :) . Awesome ride.

SUF:(#1) Fastpass. I merged in the line to later find myself in the 2nd to last row. Very intense. Loved it.

I decided to go on Bull again. ((Interesting Ride))

Bull: (#3) Got on, back row, on the bRake run, oh God, the Siren. Stuck on the bakes. Yippie. I answered a couple Cell Fone calls. :lol: Also got a nice tan.

V2:(#2) Fastpass, waited for front, Oh Great, the E-Stop Siren. Stopped on launch run. Re-Launch. Good Ride.

Loggers Run: FastPass, I got soaked. My first time ever on it!

We got a Burger at Bayou Grill, watched the Juggle-O-Jugglers, and headed to SUF.

SUF:(#2) 2nd to last row. Good Ride. Then the E-Stop Siren! GRRR. The Girl 3 seats down was crying. And they were askign the attendant for the Starbust on the platform. :roll:

Well, I took soem pics and went to AeR.

AeR: ALOT Better than backwards. AWESOME AIRTIME.

Bull:(#3) After the first ride, it gets boring, needed to use them fastpasses! Okay Ride.

Checked out line for Viper, got in, and we realized we only had 40min left until Fastpasses expire. We rushed to Whizzer.

Whizzer: Good ride, back row, loved it.

I had one more slot in my fastbass so I went on SUF.

SUF(#3): Good ride, in the dark.

I finished off the night with Triple Play.

Other Notes: Deja Vu was beign worked on the WHOLE DAY. The Backlot tour is a joke, its a bunch of tents and Tv's. All the fastpass rides were really organizing Everythign nicely. I was the lucky one to have let 5 handicapped people get my seat.

Overal a great day. The fastpasses really helped.

V2's not B&M :?. Nice trip report, but you didn't really say how crowded it was. How long were most of the coaster lines without a fastpass? Was the overlot used at all? Since they are doing things over there, could it be used?

Overflot lot being used. Fastpasses needed. (For more popular rides) Crowded, yes. Every part of the lot had a car in it. Also, I said B&Ms because the two that I got stuck on were B&Ms and only 1 Intamin. Im not blonde. :(

I noticed that Demon has had a long line this season, most of the time to the lift hill. I wish Six Flags would redo parts of the queue for Demon. Take out all the queue lines near the entrance as they're never used (the three or so really long rows) and cover the switchbacks. This could open the area up to a smaller flat/games or similar in the future.

Say hello to lot's of fast pass using next year. More people More lines especially after six which we are not used to. But, I still think change is good and again I ask where are they going to park all the people and get staff? Our little baby is growing up. But I think one thing will happen We should finally get rid of the old Highway sign. Maybe Six Flags World Of Adventure Illinois. Did I say that, well I did but the new pullover Saying Six Flags Great America Chicago, Cool item. 2005 soon to arrive and I'll turn 45 OH MY GOD!

^I think the park will be much better off with a waterpark. Yes, the waterpark will probably close early, but not everyone is going to come into SFGAm. More rides, crowded days, less people per ride. I'm all for it.

^Hey, no making fun of blondes.
