June 22nd...Yay!

Let us know how your day at the park was.

June 22nd, 2006
Crowds: Moderate, if even that.
Weather: Rainy in the morning, sunny rest of the day.

So we got onto the highway at around 7:15 and with the insane traffic, we got to the park at around 9:00 sharp.

After walking to the front gates, my friend realized that he had locked his keys in his car. Locksmith managed to show up before opening somehow. So we made awesome time.

Our original plan was to run to Deja Vu, but the morning rain prevented that so we went to Bull.

Raging Bull gave us a good three rides without getting off in back. Then it began to hurt. We ran over to drop real quick to check something with an employee, but we hopped back into bulls line for a little while longer, and got another two or three rides in.

Since the rain was being annoying, we checked to see if Angelo's was open yet...nope. So we walked over by Pirates Alley, and saw Batman's old DDR Extreme machine. It's in decent condition. Better than the Max2 by the front of the one by Farmer's Market. We met up with Nick (w00dland) and his group. Angelo's was sounding good by this time.

We checked out V2. The A&E sposorship is out infront of the queue, two signs in the queue, and stickers all over the train. It's turning into street racing I tell yah. Back Row, it was an okay ride, if even that. I mean just being on Dragster a little over a week ago? This didn't do it for me.

We ate at Angelos for it's awesome value. I love that place to death now.

From here I think we saw Marvain in the 3rd Dimension. I personally didn't like it too much, but it seems like something a family would enjoy. Definatley something cooked up from Shapiro right there.

We all really wanted Deja Vu to open, and as we were walking past we saw the catchcar was down and in the retraction position. No testing yet, just Matinence working on it. It did the matinence test runs and then they finally started their A.M.'s. There was a miscatch and a mis-park in there but it didn't hold it up to much. Right after the lead testing they didn't open it. Apparantley something happened up in the station. But about 15 minutes went by and we were on first ride of the day in 1A. For not having been on this in 10 months, it was great to be on it again. We got back in line later in the day for two rides in 1B, another in 1A and on in 8B. Basically this made the day a LOT better.

After this we rode Iron Wolf. The new restraints, really need to get broken in. Because they are not soft at all, and hurt. Atleast it did for me. Basically, I don't like them at all.

Suprisingly after this we saw BATMAN TESTING?!?!?! This was a shock considering it had the nice sign, "This Ride Will Not Open Today." But it opened at around 7:00 for those of you wondering.

We took a SUF ride in there, not bad at all and a Viper Ride later too. Both were good.

This may be my last trip of the summer, and if it was I wouldn't mind. Because it was a great one.
