SFGAM June 3rd- I hate Kids + Rain

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby wishman35 on June 4th, 2008, 6:09 pm
Not much to offer for this one, went yesterday knowing that it was going to rain hoping for a very very light crowd and low and behold as usual buses outnumbered the cars at least 95% to 5%.

I really think as paying customers coming solo they should keep school groups in May and not into the Summer days. Instead of dumping thousands of little kids as a sole reason for profit gain in the carnival games and food.

Rained and rides closed from about 11-130ish. Hung in V2 queue until rain stopped, they allowed us to stay and noone else up so me and some friends were alone it was cool. Waited forever and the girls got to cold and wanted food ( i was the only one who wanted to stay, i lose :( )

Went to Johnny Rockets and I refuse to eat from that hole ever again. Its bad enough we pay $10 for some chicken fingers, but to make us wait from the time we order to the time we get our food almost 40 minutes is not fair. Not to mention some orders behind us got the food quicker then we did. There are 3 measly items on the menu, its not hard to go in order.

So after that finally hit up a few rides, went to Batman first with very little line but still longer then days like Memorial Day ALL because of these kids (albeit VERY annoying).

American Eagle was running ONLY Red again, with a line way to long for me to wait. Can anyone explain to me why they keep alternating rather then running both to minimize lines? I love Eagle but cant justify waiting almost a damn hour for it!

Hit up Iron Wolf, good times.

Went to Raging Bull... line went into first queue house and wrapped a couple times. About 30 minute wait but that was only the start. The TEAL train had some issues, the back row i suppose wasn't showing up as secure so she couldn't say "train secured"..so it went under delay for 30 minutes just having the ride cycle. We got right up to the front too :( .. nervous we got onto the ride fresh out of breakdown as the guinea pigs and survived luckily.

We did a couple Demon rides and re-rides as usual, good times and always fun from the back.

Did viper from the back, gotta love the airtime. The ride was running VERY VERY squaky and when i say that i mean screeching noices at a decibel level not comfortable to the ears.Maybe because of the rain??

Did Batman three times in a row toward the end of the night, hit up V2 from the front which is great.

Did the Dark Knight against my wishes but it was a 5 minute wait so it was worth it for only 5 minutes i suppose lol not even really.

The park had a misty fog going toward the 5-6pm hours, it was really cool to see some of the rides shrouded in it.

We went back to Bull and the DAMN SECURITY FAIL happened again right when we were up in line. We must be jinxed because the ride probably ran the 2 hours we werent there just fine!! We backed off and didn't want to ride it anymore.

All in all a fun day minus the kids, the long wait for food, the Raging Bull breakdowns.

Sorry for no pictures...wouldn't have mattered it wouldve been all little kids in the pictures, thats how dense it was

haha, i am sure some of you are fine.

especially those who come on here in their free time to post, but many are careless kids who run around, literally RUN from ride to ride. quite annoying

Don't forget the hundreds of NBA player wannabes throwing and bouncing their basketball prizes everywhere without giving a damn about the people around them.
