It continues..... (05-07-06 with Pictures)

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby Director_Guy on May 7th, 2006, 11:04 pm
Image
Our cycloptic canine friend here greeted us as we prepared ourselves for todays big adventure.

Image
Here is my friend Parker, gettin' ready to get.

Image
Wait.... we're forgetting something......

Oh yeah...

Image
MerryDeath!

Image
Here's Parker as he practices for later today.
Image
"I am amused"
Image
"I am....windy"

Okay...I only look that goofy cause the sun was in my eyes and the wind was blowing in my face. I usually look MUCH goofier.

And somehow through the magic of science and religion we arrived at Six Flags precisely twenty-one seconds later.
Image
Image
Image
"Raging Bull? Yeah....yeah yeah...."
Image
Image
Image
Image
Yes.... it was magical.

Over at Giant Drop we caught MerryDeath line jumping.....and by that I mean....jumping.....in the line....
Image
But it's okay....because we found Nemo.
Image
I think he's waiting for Hurricane Harbor to open.
Image
This guy was there. He suggested we ride again...... so we did.

Image
Is it me, or does Ricochet look different....it looks all clean and shiny now...

Image
Next was Le Demon
Image
This guy SO totally wanted to be in a picture......
Image
"Hmm....that was almost amazing..."
Image
"Yes... I agree.... Nomed was a fun ride...."

Image
MerryDeath and Parker then took out their anger on the unopenage of Deja Vu.
Image
Vuja De- The ride that is always open.

Next stop?
Image
Orbit....
Image
Not to be confused with the chewing gum.
Image
"No! I want gum! Feed me gum!"

This guy was wasted away again in Maragritaville....
Image
That's prolly why he's here at Six Flags.... to feel better.

Image
Whoa! 4.50 for energy?! It better be really energizing.

This lady was afraid of my shirt.
Image

We wanted to ride Superman as we passed by....
but....
Image
It broked.

Image
This is my "I can't believe you're making me ride Ragin' Cajun" face.
Image
It's okay, though, 'cause this guy was there.
Image
And these guys were there to guid us along the way....

It was magical, even though I was skeptical at first.

We're having a great day so far.... let's ruin it by getting soaking wet!

Image
Image
Image
This is our "We're miserably wet" look. I blame Parker.

Image
"Yes....yes you do."
Image
Image

Image
MerryDeath: The Ride
Image
Image
Image
Me: "My gourd... I can't feel my legs"
MerryDeath: "That's because those are my legs..."

Image
Is it a picture of a tree? Or a picture of a roller coaster? You decide.
Image
V2 was totally next
Image
It was magical as usual.

Image
MerryDeath is excited to be flung by the fiddler. Parker doesn't know.
Image
Parker still doesn't know...

So in light of the situation we rode Iron Wolf.
Image
We figured it could smack some sense into to him....or out of him...
Image
MerryDeath and Parker show us the proper way to stand errect.

American Eagle was next.
Image
The red side was closed...but that was no big deal because we wanted to try out blue foward for once.
Image
Image
Image
We give it two thumbs sideways.... it was better backwards... and the red side is better overall.

Image

Image
There were less characters out today.... at least... when I went around there were.

GASP!
Image
Someone disgraced the face of our saviour from space!

In honor of our Super Man,
Image
we rode Viper.
Image
Image

Image

It was time we headed out and I became the packmule.
Image

Image
"Come back real soon!"

...okay he didn't really say that.....but he should have...

Image
Then we stopped at Burger King...
Image
It was good...

Except MerryDeath fell down and killed her knee
Image

Other than that, it was an awesomely magical day.

It look like you had soo much fun. Youre the best. Awesome report and pictures did you notice how happy the ride operators are? No lines wow it look like your just walking in with no waiting on rides. Did you watch any shows? One thing that concerns me though your friend taking his hands off the steering wheel and raising his arms up it looks dangerous I hope he dont do it again.

Nope, no shows.... nothing is really open yet.

He wasn't driving during the picture....but through the magic of image blurring it can appear that way :D.

Ok, you guys might think that I'm retarded for asking, but did they repaint Deja Vu? In one of Director Guys pictures, Deja Vu's paint looked really bright and good.

That was last year they repainted it. :D

I was there that day and most of the lines were around 10 minutes long. Batman and Viper seemed to have the shortest waits and Superman and Ragin Cajun seemed to have the longest (around 20 minutes each).

You know, this was my second time riding it since it opened... it's actually better than I remember and I'm glad I got dragged on it. :D

I'll be there on Saturday and Sunday so you'll have two chances. Not sure if I'm bringing my camera on both days, though.
