After a chaotic drive on the highway of Triple-Checking we had everything, we got to the path at about 9:30. Parking lot looked decently full, and the waterpark looked good. The water rides were closed as was King Chaos. Heres how the day went.
Deja Vu:(walk-on) After running to it, only to be beat by Dan, Jeff, and Ally, I waited one cycle for 1a. Walked around and took another ride. It seemed alot faster than last year.
Raging Bull:(10min) The line was a little past the stairs. Waited for the back. Got far left. Good ride, I thought since it was my first ride of the season airtime would be better..........nope.
Viper:(2-3min) Back-row right away. Airtime machine as usual, though seemed better last year.
Demon:(2-3min) Waited for 6:1. No head banging on the corkscrews.
Iron Wolf:(walk-on) Back row outside left. Wasnt the refurbed train. Somewhat rough.
V2:(15-20min) Back row because front was loaded. Wasn't fun. I'm slowly beginning to hate this dang thing.
Ragin Cajun: Most miserable wait of the day (so I thought) Running 4 cars and it was stacking horribly. We got good spin though. Still wasn't worth that over an hour line.
I went on Sky Trek to get a view of what was going on with the waterpark. That is an awesome kiddy pool!
The rest of the day I just went roaming around arcades playing BeatMania and DDR and such. The lines got really hectic considering it was BoyScout/GirlScout/Band Awards day. Making almost everything a full queue. Not the kinda day I wanted but, all in all it was good.

May 8th, 2005:
Ate breakfast at IHOP, (agh too much food!) and arrived at the empty parking lot. I got to the season pass line, went through, and saw DanHockey04, and Dave. They fetched Nolan and we ran to Vu.
Deja Vu:(Umm what line?) We all got first dispatch in the 1 rows. Dave and Nolan I'm pretty sure left after that. Me and Dan took about 8 or 9 rerides without leaving the station. Who's to complain? It's leading my ride-count right now and its pathedic!
Demon:(1 cycle) After Nolan and Dave leaving us we hit up Demon 6:1. Not rough, and pretty fun.
American Eagle Red:(Walk-on) Shiney Red Train! 2:1. Massive airtime on this thing. Blue's track looks really nice from what they did.
Iron Wolf:(1 cycle) Didn't get the refurb. Back row. Okay I guess.
Batman:(1 cycle) 2nd to last row. Hauling still. Very smooth and fast!
Met back up with Dave and Nolan.......
Iron Wolf:(Walk-on) Front row on the Refurb. SO smooth. Corkscrew is actually really fun when your head isnt banging side to side!
American Eagle Red:(Walk-on) Same as last time....
Raging Bull:(1 or 2 cycle wait?) Outside right. Overal same as yesterday>
Superman Ultimate Flight:(Over 30min) We got in line, and......1 TRAIN OP?!?!?! Bull was running 3 now, I think Suf should run 2. We waited for Row 2, when they decide to add a train. This ride officially sucks now. Take it down and bring a new coaster there. Really rough. I think they took a train off after we left becuase both were dispatched empty.
Thats All for the weekend. I had to leave for a Mother's Day Party but it was still awesome!
Everything didn't have a full queue on Saturday. Only Superman did.
BTW, Superman's second train might have been unoperabe, hence the reason is wasn't being run. (Edit: re-read that part and noticed you said one was taken off.)
Sounds like a good time! BTW, did I see you Saturday?
It was much better on Sunday than Saturday, I ended up with easily over 70 rides on Sunday. We got re-rides on like every ride in the park (except Cajun). Since Cajun had only 2 operating cars. Four cars were on the track, but 2 of them were next seat please, and another green car (5th car) on the transfer that has not gone through its safety runs.
Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer Marathon down, Goofy to go.
Wow. I was on first train of Vu Sunday also. I rode it three times in a row without getting off. Were one of you guys wearing a SUF shirt? I think I sat in 2A or something like that. It was great though! I also think I saw you guys on IW in the front. I was wearing a polo Mr. Six shirt.

Me too. I was puking, and going to the bathroom too many times to count.
