10/11 Columbus day

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby shocker on October 11th, 2004, 6:30 pm
My mom woke me up at 7:30 am to tell me she could take me to Six Flags, i called my friend at it was set.

We got to the park around 10:20 but had to wait in line for tickets.

45 minutes later, got in to the park.

Headed for Viper, walked into the station.
After that, got in line for Hellevator, giant drop. Great ride with the speakers blasting music.

Grabbed some food, then the Revolution, I persuaded my friend on, who usually throws up on spinning flat rides.

Headed over to King Chaos, met some classmate, KC started wild but finished very tame.

Went to S:UF, not that bad of a wait, got front row easily.

Headed back over to Six Flags Speedway, there was the only place I encountered a creature/actor.

Hopped on demon for last ride, my mom picked me up at 2:30, not a bad day for half-price.

Best ride: Hellevator

Park was a little bit more crowded than I anticipated, but no switchbacks were open.

I went today too. It was alright I suppose, it was a lot more crowded than I had anticipated. I got on Deja Vu twice, 2nd and 4th trains of the day.

I didn't really ride alot of things. I watched shows and wandered around. Its true that there were practically no actors. The trolls and clowns probably had the day off, didn't see them at all. There were only a few of the guys in new orleans, but still better than everywhere else. Necropolis, although it has been lacking from the start, was lacking worse today, but then again, the park wasn't open long enough to get dark.

If you would have gone Saturday you would see the trolls in Hometown. Necropolis was full of people there. I guess they just didnt have them today since it wasnt open that much.

Does anybody like FF this year I sure do better than last year.

I saw the trolls today. They were by orbit. I saw them for a bit and then they disappered.

Today was great...
started off with a front row ride on bull 5th train probably. It was a great ride.

Who else went on Blood River? Aww I was wearing a sweatshirt and jeans and I got drenched! And I did that in the morning. But it was a blast.

Sadly had no time to go through Necro. But I think I'm going to go again.

I also got my first terror twister ride in. Had tons of fun. Everyone would be spinning the cups when the lights were dark and then we would all let go and dance when the strobe lights came on.

Yes I like fright fest a whole lot this year.


(I would add more but I'm just too darn lazy)

I've never been to necro nor did i go today, but I'm wondering what the set up is. Is it a path with different viewing areas or a path with a bunch of actors running around?

Yeah, today was a pretty good day to go. Kiwigoodkid and I did a
bunch of stuff, here is the breakdown:

V2 - 3 Times: A little bit of a wait, not bad though.
DJV - 2 Times: At first, barely any wait. We got on the first run for the
day. We could have gotten on it approx. 5-6 times before a wait developed, but we decided to end after 2 times.
RB - 1 Time: Sorta a "long" wait, but not bad.
Hellavator - 1 Time: A Little bit of a wait, not long though.
Revolution - 1 Time: No wait, got right on.
King Chaos- 2 Times: No wait for both times.
Viper - 1 Time: Some wait (Around 5:15pm) No line outside of station.
Iron Wolf - 1 Time: Barely any wait.
AE (Red) - 1 Time: Some Wait, line was just on the stairs when
we went on it. This was after they openned up both Red and Blue.

Overall it was a great day. The only bad thing is, it definatly looked like
Shockwave is being taken out. When we were on Iron Wolf, we saw
them working on the pieces. Good Bye Shockwave!

Today, Kiwigoodkid and I were going to try to hit our 50th time on SUF,
but we decided not to today. We currently are at 45. 17 rides last year,
plus 28 rides this year. If any of you saw a guy with a Braves Hat, Blue
Hoodie, Glasses and a Goatee, that was me!

SEDIR - You might have been one of Kiwigoodkid and I's target on
Blood River. We spent a lot of time at the sprayers!

Next Trip Planned: Saturday, October 16th (4:00pm to 11:00pm)
Current SFGAm Videos we are working on: Final Tribute to Shockwave
and FrightFest 2004. We have many videos that we have done. Look
for a webpage in the coming month that will have our various videos.

I saw the creature while I was on the ride, there were two, one said something to my friend and then told me "and you too." I didn't here him so I gave him the thumbs up. All I remember is his face was painted white.

I don't go there much, but there are different areas and there are some of the creature crew in there. Bush guys hide and pop up at you.
How much longer can I last until Opening Day! ARRRRGH!

Hehe I got nailed in the face.

Anyways... when I exited these people started to walk in the entrance and someone said you don't get that wet and then they saw me and and whispered "look at him" so I think they reconsidered it...

------

Also it was a very fun day because we persuaded my freind who was afraid of rides to go on them. He loves six flags now.
He said his favorite was batman and his second was hellvator. (The funny thing is that he WAS afraid of heights too)
We never got a chance to get him on bull though. Because the first thing we did was Bull (front row ride, was amazing) and he wasn't ready yet.

#2: That is from love At first fright after Witchie takes Jack away from The Bride of Frankenstien when she kidnaps him. It may not be in this years show :wink: but it was there last year. I haven't seen LAFF 2004 yet, as I did not get to go to FF this weekend.
