Let us know how your day at the park was.

I was lucky enough to have gone today! The park actually looks good besides that big empty-ness in the middle of the park, sort of by that new three point shoot out. Anyways, I got to the park at 9:50 today with my brother. I actually was able to get him in for free since I had a coupon from St. Louis. Got into the park, with really no cars in the parking lot. There was about 50-60 buses though.

When the chain dropped we decided to go to The Dark Knight in order to beat some of the lines. Anyways, went into the pre-show area. In which, I was a little mad that they don't organize that a little better then they do. Maybe it will get better? Anyways, on with the ride, actually to tell you the truth, I loved it. It was fast, dark, decently themed (until the end). There were a couple of surprises though! Defiantly a good family ride! I among ten others from this site am happy we got it.

Next we went to Superman; we waited only about 20 minutes or so for second to last row. It seemed like they had a lot of problems with some of the seats on both of the cars. Anyone know what happens to them?

After superman, I took my brother on his first spin on KK. I think he liked it; it was something new that he has never experienced. There was no wait for the ride.

Next we went on Ragin Cajan! Waited about 20 minutes for the ride. It was wicked fun though! I've never spun that much ever. It was crazy because it was just us two in the car so; I have no idea why we were spinning so fast. (We are about equal weight and were on opposite sides)

NAHNAHNAHNAH BATMAN! Holy Batman, Robin! Batman, still fast, and man thrilling us for 16 years now! What a great ride. Wait time about 10 minutes.

V2 was next; again my brother has never been on it. I made him go front row because that's the only true way to experience v2 in my mind. It was a great ride; we waited about 40 minutes for front. It probably would have been only 20 if we did not wait for the front. There were a lot of people waiting.

Iron Wolf! YEAH! Well for me anyways. I personally love IW and do not get any head-banging what so ever on it. Anyways, we waited 5 minutes for it.

Next up; American Eagle BLUE! (Down due to 'weather conditions'. We ended up leaving and coming back to it. Instead we went ahead and challenged the DEMON! Ok, one question about the demon, what is up with the restraints? They look nasty, almost as if they are moldy. I have rarely seen this with the demon.

Next up; Viper! We walked right up and in. It was a really good ride, very fast today. We then sat in for another time around because surprisingly there was no line. This had to of been like at; 12:30 or 1:00 today..

Next was Bull. They were working on the red train today, row 2-5 restraints were off. It was a fun ride. With two trains on, the wait was about 20 minutes or so. Probably less, I really lost track of time. :shock: Anyways, after a spin on bull, we went on Giant Drop with only 3 lifts worth of wait.

After Giant Drop, Went back to eagle BLUE! since it was finally open, rode that and waited about 20 minutes the first time around and it took like 35 the second. Both extremely good rides. Is it me of does the station move a lot more this year? :lol: Anyways both really good rides.

After Eagle, we did everything again, and waited pretty much the same time for everything except we waited about 10 minutes for Dark Knight :D After a fun, exhausting day, I am tired! That's all folks!

very nice report. seems like it was pretty quiet again. i was stunned that one of the longer waits you had in the beginning of the day was for rajun cajub :? .. the day i went the line was longest for it also while everything else was empty. i mean its fun and all, but not worth waiting more then 15-20 minutes for. i guess youngens need a coaster to enjoy hence the longer lines.

im thinking about going tomorrow because of the forecast, would love an empty park
