Got up early and arrived at the park at 9:15 after a 40 minute drive or so. I was the first person in line at Superman and got far left row one of the first train dispatched of the day. Pretty good ride, however the loop is much more intense in the back. I then strolled over to V2 where I got 2 straight rides in without getting off. Meh, launch is not intense; this ride really doesn't do all that much for me any more. I liked Wicked Twister at CP much more. I then hit AE:R front row, after a one train wait. Good ride. I then took a spin on Revolution and then headed over to Raging Bull, where I waited 20 minutes or so for row 8. Nice ride, great airtime on first hill. They really need to lose the trim brake on thee third ascent though...that hill has some real airtime potential. Jumped on Giant Drop after a 5 minute wait, and got back in the queue for Raging Bull. Around a 25-minute wait for row 9. I walked around County Fair and got on Batman after a 15 minute wait or so. Nice ride, seemed to be running quick. I then left the park to eat lunch at BK.
Got back to the park at around 1:30 and hit S:UF again after a 25-minute wait in the back row. Great ride, much more intense the further back in the train you are. Hit Demon after a 10 minute wait next. Then I walked around and hit RB 2 more times (20 minute waits each, only two switchbacks open). Great rides. Caught a ride on Viper. Let me tell you the fire marshall would have a heart attack if he saw that station, it was that packed. I then went over to Deja Vu since it finally opened at 4:30pm. The dispatch times were horendous. They were averaging a dispatch every 6:15. That is terrible. But it was a good ride, I got on 3a after 45 minutes. For the rest of the day I hit RB, Viper, and Giant Drop from here to there, all good rides, wait times decreased as it neared 8. Hit Demon for the last ride of the day on my way out (walk-on, 2 people in station)
Overall a good day, summary below

AE Red: 1
B:TR: 1
Raging Bull: 7
S:UF: 3

The dispatch times were not that bad, the ride did break down 3 times in 30 minutes. One of the break downs was because a stupid guest decided to pull on the air gates and shut the system off. 
I ended up with 7 Deja Vu rides, so that makes my count up to 60.  Last edited by Danhockey04 on June 6th, 2005, 8:35 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I waited in line over and over. I got on the last two rides, and go to the back 7-B to 8-B are short. Also, I was a single rider, so I found rows with only 1 rider.

Cool. Was the station still packed at the end of the day? (7:30, 7:45 or so)

oh cool. Just wondering, how often does it open with the park? Just want to know if its worth running to first or if most of the time the dreaded sign is up over the entrance...

Atleast be grateful it was open.
He basically gave up his day, just to have that ride open. Made a few guests day.
Pretty bad park managment if they cant have enough trained people to make sure all rides operate every day!!!!
it's been great recentally, most days it opens with the park. The Vu staff is great, but keep in mind, some people who work the ride might still be in school, or want a day off every once in awhile.

How is it bad managment if as far as they know the workers are unavailable. I think its pretty good managment because they went the extra mile to find someone who could work. Around the world and back
Bob 0 - Why is it that all you post is complaints and way too many explanation points?
He's one of those CF guys.
