SFGAm June 14th

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby SfGaMownz on June 15th, 2005, 2:42 pm
I didnt't really feel like going but my whole family was going so I did. We got there at like 1:30, went on King Chaos which was a walk-on. First, time on it this year and the program they are running now is much better then the one that I remember from last year. Then hit B:TR which was about a 5 minute wait, after that V2 which was about a 10 minute wait. Then we decided to go to Hurricane Harrbor, which was pretty packed, I really wanted to try the Wahoo Racers because they were closed the last time I was there. It was about a 20 minute wait, and I must say they are quite fun. On the first curve I almost wiped out it was pretty cool. Then went on some random slide on Skull Island which was pretty fast I suppose, half of it was boarded off, I don't know if it wasn't finished or if they didn't have lifegaurds to watch the slides or what but it was boarded off. Then it started to rain only rained for a little but I wanted to go so we did. I probally should have taken advantage of the short lines because they will only be around for another week or so if that but oh well.

Ride Totals
B:TR= 1 ride
V2= 1 ride
King Chaos= 1 ride
Wahoo Racers= 1 slide

3 rides/1 slide

I think KC is on a crappy program now. I liked the one that it's had all year. I think this one is stupid. I really don't like it...

On Wednesday, they had the program they have been using all season. I dont know what it was like on Tuesday, since I didnt go into Mardi Gras, I spent my time over on the good half of the park, by Demon and Vu.

It was running the weird one on Tuesday where you go backward and they lock you halfway up, you flip a couple of times (I'm not sure how many) and then it does the regular back and forth lock over the fountain thingy.

I dont get it? Why would you bring a ball on a ride? If you win a basketball from a game you should really put it in a locker!!

I think he would be referring to the Testicles.

Definition of Testicles:
Also called testes, or "balls", these are the male gonads, located in the scrotum, under the penis. They produce the male sex hormone, testosterone, from birth, and the male sex cells, sperms from puberty onwards.

Welcome to sex ed if you need more information I suggest you Google them :D

Actually, I was being sarcastic. :lol:

Just hoping to get a weird response. I think I did. :D

(I don't know what height has to do with it...I'm 5'1" and been on it and know the feeling...and I'm 16, not 12 like you might have guessed)

Umm, that's not a weird program. It runs that program all the time. Ive only seen it run 2 programs. The good one which you get about 5 flips on...sometimes more sometimes less. Which starts you out backwards, locks you halfway up....brings you around upside down then unlocks at the top and flips you about 5 times. The other program, which I only saw them run early last season was when it started out locked and went all the way around one and a half times, then unlocked at the top and you got maybe 1 flip in at the most. Both programs end the same with the hang over the pond.

But the one you described is the one they have been running since late last summer.
Go Bulls!

I'm almost 6'4'' now and I never had issues with King Chaos (well on my ONE ride last season). But I do have issues with V2, Dejavu, and Demon now. Slowly getting to the point where I'll be too tall to ride :( .

It helps if you push the restraint back as it is coming down. That way, it doesn't lock so tightly.

Well, they were running a different KC program from the beginning of the season to the time I went last week. Sooo...I'm not sure what you are talking about.
