So my mom and I arrived at the park around 2:15. I rode Triple Play in my wonderful yellow car. Then, my mom went to Hurricane Harbor so I went over to Demon as a single rider. About a 5 minute row for car 2. I was happy red train was out but the tunnel lights were off today. After Demon, I rode Orbit for a walk-on. Then, I went over to AE for another 5-minute wait for red side. I tried to get on Viper but I didn't feel like waiting a half hour for a ride I'd been on so many times. I walked back around to carousel plaza and then to Orleans Place. The lines were getting huge so I didn't ride anything there or in Mardi Gras. In Yankee Harbor, I tried to get on YC but the line was all the way to the entrance so I skipped it. I wasn't too surprised though because it was in the upper 80s. BTR's line was all the way to Gotham City Park so I decided against that, too. My friends T.J. and Rob arrived around 4 and we went back into Orleans Place. They didn't want to wait for anything either so we kept walking until we hit Fiddler's Fling. A 3-5 minute wait. Very good for how the lines had gotten. Then, I rode AE a second time. It was surprisingly a very short line again. Still, we had a situation with some lady so it took about 10 minutes. After Eagle, they convinced me to ride, you guessed it, Bull. I was a little nervous but I stayed pretty cool. The ride is so comfortable! Very, very smooth. However, it still doesn't beat my baby Demon so HA! lol A very close second place. I was hoping for Teal but oh well, didn't happen that way. After being proud of myself for some time, we rode Orbit for my second time. Do you notice it makes a wierd sound right before it stops? hmmm. Our last ride was Demon, black train this time in the very back. Fun as always. I got Dippin Dots and we left around 6:20. Fun day PLUS I got a big one to cross off my list. Next stop: V2
Ride Totals:
Triple Play-1
Orbit-2
Demon-2
RB-1
AE Red-2
Fiddler's Fling-1

well it took you long enough to ride it. lol
but good TR "The rides are GREAT, The shows are GREAT, the fun is GREAT. At Marriott"s GREAT AMERICA!"
What situation did you have with the lady that took 10 minutes?
I remember last year me and my friends were in line for S:UF and everyone saw that it had stopped running. So some people left and this really obnoxious family right in front of us sends their dad to the front (yes we were in the switchbacks so he crawled through the trees and onto the grass to see what was going on) so he comes back and hopes back in line telling everyone that they were just adding another train. So, they then decide it would be a super idea to bring their friends in the line. 3 of them. Hmm, how could this be a problem? Well, first off the lazy placeholder ticket person was not paying attention. So then when we got to the stairs, where they take your ticket, the three people who did not have tickets say that they just got in and were not given a ticket. So, when they get to the station we tell the ticket taker of the situation, thus resulting in the whole family and their friends being taken out of the ride.  (Oh and they gave us dirty looks as they walked back through the exit, because they knew it was us  )poor wolfie rip
 ( hopewe get a neww bm wingrider for next year!11!
I had tears in my eyes going up on Bull...V2 is far worse for a first time rider. It does help though that it starts right away.

^ does that mean you cried on Bull or were your eyes watering, I remember my first time on Bull was front row teal train and I gripped onto the ride and didn't let go.

V2 is the one ride where you once you get on it, you can get on anything. Sit towards the back. Be ready. Scream real loud. Oh, and I was watering up because I was so excited. Bull is the one ride everyonce needs to go on. An instant classic. Almost 10 years old. Our beloved Bull. Will probably be here 30 years from now.

HOW IS DEMON BETTER THAN BULL!?!?!?!?!  Dallas Cowboys 5x Super Bowl Winners
It's not...it's only better than Iron Wolf 13 Years with SFGAm World!
There are quite a bit of rides that are better then Wolf actually, Wolf sucks anyways at our park Bull is my number 1.

It's my personal favorite. For me, the biggest and the baddest don't mean the best.

I'm not saying I hate Demon, don't take that in a bad way Demon_07 I do like Demon but there are certain rows of that ride that I like, I don't ride it all the time I'm at the park but I will ride it.
