Alrighty, here we go:

Image

Oh well! See, my Dad had an important meeting in the morning so we got off to a late start. Meanwhile, he dropped me off at this place:
Image
Yeah. My friend was late, so.....I waited....and drew pictures....
Image
And read the signs....
Image
Until this person showed up....
Image
Spiderwoman!!! Or.....Valerie....whatever.
We were off....to escape this world.....
Image
And enter a new one.

Guess what was first.....Triple Play!!!
Image
Awesome ride. About a 5 minute wait.

Whizzer was next!!
Image
Pretty picture, I like it with HFM in the background. My Dad took it. Oh, and 20 minute wait.
But who cares.....it's time for....REVY!!
Image
Sorry about it being sideways.....
Batman was next!! (V2's line was insane)
Image
Another cool shot. My Dad's pretty good. 25 minute wait, about.
Oopsies, got a little off-center on this one, Daddy Dearest......
Image
King! The new and improved ride! No more chaos! Which is true, we only flipped one freakin' time! Ah well. 10 minute wait.

We decided to break-well, Spiderwoman and Dad decided to, I was in the mood for a 5-minute wait for ERC....
Image
If you look closely, you'll see that I'm not quite the focus of this shot.....

Heehee. We then were hungry, so we got our hands stamped and went out to the car to eat.
Image
PB&J sammiches rock. Again, sorry about the sideways shot, my photo uploader is being mental....

Then we went on the Scenic Railway, but you couldn't really see much and
there was this horrible screeching noise throughout the entire ride.....my ears were ringing by the time I got off! Oh well. 10 minute wait.

Ricochet was next. I still get butterflies in my stomach when I look down as I'm going up. You guys should definetley try it, it's fun! 10 minute wait.
Image
Fun. Next, and last (we were tired).....Viper! Oh, my gosh, I missed you! Unfortunetley we forgot to take a photo, but it was a great ride.
The first words that came out of my mouth after we went into the brakes was a quote from Lord of the Rings:
"Well.....I'm back."

Thanks for reading!!!

Side notes:
It seemed to me that Deja Vu was closed all day.
TP and Revy were both running great.
Oh, and Director_Guy, I saw you and Parker near Ricochet. It was so funny to see you guy's picture in the TR's, it felt like seeing a celebrity!
Eh.......I got nothing.

I think i saw your dad take that pic of King Chaos! Cause i have that same kid leaning on the rail in my pic as well. Although mine were centered and i even got some zoomed in while they were flipping. Priceless ride to photograph, the expressions on some people are incredible! :lol:

Great trip report!
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(

Fangs Up Cobra Style!!!

Sweet report. If you see us next time, be sure to say hello.

And I heard that screeching at Senic Railroad all day. It think it needs some oil.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

I agree about V2's line. We were heading towards it and then saw its length decided against riding it. It was pretty long compared to some other ride lines.
