Condor & Another D Vu' day 4/30/05

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby Ilovthevu' on April 30th, 2005, 8:52 pm
Just in case any of you guys/girls didn't see them, the Condor cars are laying in back of Condor. They are repainted and look like a lighter neon blue color compared to the darker blue they had before.

As for my day, it started with many D Vu' rides. I counted maybe four rides from 10:15-12:30. It might have been five though. The line was mostly just in the station except later it got to when you have to go through two ques.

The stupid announcements really slow down the ride. It's slow enough, but then you have the employees telling you "Are you ready?" and "Are you ready for the floor to to go down low?" (I wasn't something really stupid like that.) The people early on working the ride were slow as molasses. They put like a "dragster" stripes on the catchcar. They did something to it, because the ride only broke down once, which didn't even seem like a break down. It was perfect today except for that.

After that, it was off to Demon and Triple Play which were both walk-ons. Then, I had to go to the train station for my family to pick up my day. Sadly, it wasn't till three-thiry until we got into the park. Next, it was STT which was a walk-on. After that, it was off to SUF for two awesome rides. The line wasn't that long.

Next, it was BEB, and then RC (bah humbug). I really don't like RC, but my brother does. After that, I was off to 4 times on BTR, and 3 times on V2. They were both walk-on. After that, it was IW once, and Am E red.

Finally, it was off to D Vu' again for at least another hour. The line had toned somewhat. Now, the line didn't get up to the ques, but rather was just in the station. The people were doing a much better job than in the morning. During this time, I probably did it 5 times. Lastly, I ended my day with three SUF's.

I also want to add that it really doesn't LOOK like HH will be open. I looks like a mess. My family thinks that next to Viper they are building something. They don't know what. They said maybe ride, but I don't believe them. I'll check it out tomorrow though.

What a great day it was !!!!! :D :D

They are constructing the path to the entrance to HH by the Viper...and the building that is being constructed seems like it may be a HH info center or something to do with HH. That is just my guess.
2010 is going to be one to remember forever!!

This is the best picture I could find for the Condor cars. This is from another park. The cars on the right in the back (bright blue) are almost exactly the color they painted the Condor cars at SFGAm that are sitting in back of Condor. As for the rest of the ride, it is pretty much in shambles. LOL

I also forgot to add that D Vu' looks a whole lot better especially the side not facing the midway. They still have some spots to cover though.
