I want to keep this pretty short. Basically it wasn't too crowded. No traffic coming in and no wait to get in the park since we used the season pass entrance. At first Raging Bull ran two trains but it changed to 3 sometime in the afternoon. Cajun had a full que most of the day as did S:UF and Whizzer at certain times. Even Demon at about 6:00 was using half the switchbacks by the station, but the line began there so it wasn't too bad. Every other ride had a 20 minute wait or less. Deja Vu didn't run all day, but everything else was up. I finally got a ride on King Chaos and wasn't impressed. While watching it, the whole ride shakes side to side and screaches. The ride is way too short, and you're only upside down 3 or 4 times. The only thrilling thing is when you face down at the water. The rest is just moving back and forth while sitting normally. Overall the day was good with nice weather and we even saw the magic show. It was pretty good but freezing inside.

Ride totals:

Raging Bull: 2
Viper: 1
AE Red: 1
Batman: 1
Demon: 1
Giant Drop: 1
Triple Play: 1
Revolution: 1
King Chaos: 1
Big Easy Balloons: 1
Columbia Carousel: 1
Stargate: 1
Sky Trek Tower: 1
Orbit: 1
Roaring Rapids: 1
Rue Le Dodge: 2

Its only 5 roller coasters but I still had fun. I guess I didn't feel like waiting in lines today.

If you want to get on a good topspin come to Geauga Lake. It has the first in North America and got a total overhaul of the system last year so it's running awesome. It's a shame Deja Vu will never be in 'regular operation' all season long.
