SFGAm 7/15

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby FRD714 on July 15th, 2006, 8:33 pm
Left my house at 9am and got in the park a few minutes before opening.

Headed right to V2 and walked on front row. Then got 2 re-rides in second row. Awesome ride as usual.

Next was Batmn. Had a 10 minute wait for last row. I blacked out in the first loop for a few seconds. Other than that it was a good ride.

The heat was already getting to me so I took a ride on Yankee Clipper. 10 minute wait. Wasnt really worth it becuase I didnt get that wet.

Went back to V2 for a 15 minute wait for second row.

Walked right past Iron Wolf and Eagle. Went to Dejavu. It was having a lot of mispark problems, but almost an hour later I was on 3a. It kinda hurts my stomach while going backwards for some reason.

Got some Papa Johns and headed to eagle. My sis never rode blue side, so we went there. Got to the gate and found out a girl got blood all over one of the cars. So they cleaned it and sent it out. Next train comes in and I take my seat. 2 minutes everyon eis being told to get off because there was still blood or something. That train was dispatched and then it e-stopped on the lift. So we waited...and waited..and waited. Finally I saw a bunch of maint. guys walking up the lft and decided to get outta there becuase it could be a while. I wasted almost an hour.

After stopping for some lemonade, I went to Drop for a 15 minute wait. Great ride as usual. One of the cars was at the top of the tower all day. I dont know why.

Bull was next. One of the que houses was full, but it was running 3 trains so it wasnt a big deal. Took row 3 for another exciting ride. I also bought my ride photo: http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/954/1001758xg2.jpg

Next coaster was Viper. As always, I took back row. Fun stuff...

Trailblazer had no line, so I took a quick ride on that. Kinda boring...

Finally I went back to V2 for one last ride. Waited about 30 minutes for row 3.

So crowds were moderate, but it was extremely hot. All in all it was a good day.

V2: 6
Bull: 1
Viper: 1
Vu: 1
Batman: 1
Drop: 1
Clipper: 1

Nice TR. I wanted to go Saturday, but it was so hot, I decided not to.

Ok, for the drop thing.

When car 5 gets halfway up the tower, the breaks activate. It's a problem with the proximity sensors or something.
