SFGAm - October 9th-10th

[DejaVuGurl1203]

Thanks to my dad being the absolute worst at getting ready to go somewhere, we didn't get there until a little after 11. While walking through Area 51 I was impressed by the theming, they did a good job. First thing I went on was Viper, it was about a 25 minute wait for row 1:3. some of the best airtime I've ever had on that ride, totally amazing. Then used a fastlane on Bull, 10 minute wait for back row.

Then headed to Demon, because I just had to see how the theming was. 15 minute wait for 6:1, good ride. Then walked around for a bit and went on Condor. Used fastlane on BTR, 10 minute wait for back row. Awesome ride as always. V2 was up next, used fastlane on that as well. Went in the back row because I like that more than the front now, it's just so much better.

Then decided to wait for Iron Wolf, which actually didn't have the wait that I expected. 20 minutes for back row, the fog after the corkscrew was cool. Before heading back into Yankee Harbor I took a ride on Fiddler's Flung, which was great. Then I went through Necropolis, wow, so much better than last year.

After eating at Angelo's and going through Necropolis again, I think I headed to Viper. This time it was an hour wait because the crew was slow. Didn't get any airtime this time because my lapbar squished me. Then I used the last fastlane ride on Bull.

Went to American Eagle next, wait was 50 minutes. Great ride... then I hit Revolution since the line got a lot shorter. Really cool night ride. Went through Necropolis a 3rd time because I just had to go through it at night. As I was walking through Mardi Gras, King Chaos was open so I immediately went to that. I supposedly got on the 3rd ride of the day.

Next up was Demon, the theming is awesome at night. Right before the lift, in the tunnel, it was completely pitch black with a ton of fog, it was awesome. Then waited about 20 minutes for Bull for an awesome night ride. I had 5 minutes to kill so I hopped onto Hellevator which rocked, and then it was time to leave. It was a pretty good day, 16 rides, Fright Fest is awesome this year.

I'll post a TR for Columbus Day sometime later.

haha, we saw your dad right after we got off RB. Jeff said hi, I smiled

[DejaVuGurl1203]

haha I know my dad told me. I saw you guys like 3 times, once by Demon/Vu, I was getting off RB when you guys were waiting for it, and when I was trying to find my dad I passed you guys up again. haha...

Soo, Columbus Day. I-94 was HORRIBLE today because of construction, so instead of getting there at 9:30, we got there at 10:30. It really made me mad. Anyways, we took a quick ride on Triple Play. We waited by the Pictorium to meet up with Dannie and other people but we never saw them, so we just moved on. Waited for Viper, 15 minute wait for row 3. I was really flying out of my seat, I seriously could have fallen out, but I was careful.

Then waited for RB, ugh, I hate 2 train op on RB. Then they decided to take 10-20 minutes to add the 3rd train. Ended up being a 40-50 minute wait with only a few switchbacks open. I guess it was worth it though. Then waited 20 minutes for Hellevator, no sound effects which was disappointing. I regret waiting for it but it was still fun.

Then waited for AEB, about 20 minutes for front row. If red was open there would've been no wait. I got MAJOR airtime on the first drop which was unusual, it was sooo fun though. I got lots of airtime throughout the rest of the ride as well. Then we waited like 20 minutes to get lunch, jesus. Waited 10 minutes for Iron Wolf, good ride.

Then we went through Necropolis of course. Next was BTR, roughly a 15 minute wait for row 7 since the back row was blocked off, I'm guessing the airgate wasn't working right. Could've gotten in back row if it weren't for the people in front of us. Still a great ride though, I wanted to do it again.

V2 was up next. 35 minute wait with a 5 minute breakdown because it wouldn't launch, like, RIGHT before we were about to get on. Then went on King Chaos, awesome ride as always... I think we went on Demon next, 15 minute wait. Since there was 15 minutes left we ran over to Bull. Before getting on somebody decided to puke, so there was a minor delay. And some kid tried to re-ride but he got caught I'm glad I didn't get caught when I did that last year on Columbus Day at closing. Awesome ride though.

I think the crowds were somewhat worse than last year's Columbus Day crowds. If Vu was open it would've helped. But yeah, we only got on 11 rides. I hate how the park closes at 6 on Columbus Day. Oh well, still had a good time.

[ragingbullchick]

^ I know, closing at 6 is pointless to me. At least be open till 8 or 9. I know kids have school the next day, but on Subdays they close at 9 and we have school the next day then...

I only got 10 rides in. RB had some pretty bad delays, I was so far back in the queue I couldn't see what was going on. And then, my friend INSISTED that we wait for front row. This took an extra half hour or 20 mins, and sucked anyway. Oh well, there's always next weekend.

[Ilovthevu']

I doesn't sound that empty as you wanted it to be.

[EagleFan344]

You waited 50 minutes for Eagle? Wow.

When I went Monday I only got 8 coaster rides, 3 Giant Drop rides and one ride on Fiddlers Flung.

[kahmooza]

Since there was 15 minutes left we ran over to Bull. Before getting on somebody decided to puke, so there was a minor delay.

So THAT was the issue with all the empty trains right at the end huh? Here I thought they were going to go back down to two trains which I did think was pointless.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

I also thought they were going to take a train off, but then the ops said that somebody puked.

Yeah, 50 minutes for Eagle. There were probably about 4-6 switchbacks open.
