7/25 - Mostly Short Lines

[coasterkid94]

I ended up getting to SFGAm at about 1:30. For the most part it wasn't too crowded at all. To start off the day I headed over to Demon which was nearly a walk-on - the line only started in the station. It might have just been me, but I didn't notice as much head banging on it this time. After Demon, I went on Raging Bull which had a really short line. I didn't time it, but all three trains were operating and neither of the two queue houses were being used.
Next I went over to Orbit which nearly was a walk-on but my group just missed getting on so we had to wait through a complete ride cycle. The same thing happened again when we went on Condor after that and had to wait through another ride cycle. Walking past Superman, I noticed that the line was really long, so we decided to go on Batman. BTR actually had a pretty decent wait. None of the first queue section was being used but all of the second section was full. The entire time to wait and ride Batman was just under 30 minutes. Next my little brother convinced me to take him to the "ball house" in Looney Tunes National Park. I never noticed how much I hated that place until yesterday. The kids there are all so crazy and bratty I just couldn't wait to get out of there. After going in there for some time it was about 4:30 so we decided to have an early dinner from the food that we had packed in our car.
We got back into the park at about 5:15 and headed to AE Red. I had a walk-on to get in the third row which I guess is pretty good considering that rows behind that had waits. Next we headed over to Revolution which was another walk on. From there we went on V2 which had a 25 minute wait for the 10th row. We then did some back tracking and went on Iron Wolf which had about a 10 minute wait. It was my first time on IW, and after going on it I noticed I really underestimated how bad the head-banging is. After IW we went on King Chaos which was another walk-on but the loading time was delayed by several minutes because some mom was convinced that her son wasn't standing up straight, making him under 54" and thus not able to ride. In the end, the angry mom's son wasn't able to get on.
From there we went on SUF which had about an hour wait. After that we went on Ricochet (a walk on) and then Whizzer which had about a 15 minute wait. To end the night, we went on Vertical Velocity again which was a walk on for the last ride of the night. Overall, it was a great day with relatively short lines.

Ahh I love King Chaos and my next trip (Monday?) I plan on checking out AE this time around and Revolution. No water rides huh?

^ No water rides for us. The group I was with didn't really care for them, and by the way, the water rides can be pretty disgusting sometimes.

You didn't like the foam ball factory?

Man, I used to have a blast in there when my daughter was short enough. Just nailing people with foam balls from the air guns is freakin great.

You hit kids, other kid's parents, heck even the employee at the entrance.

^ Yeah, it is fun to snipe other people from the second floor. But with so many Nerf guns floating around at my house, I would much rather have been going on other rides.

sounds like a good time, short line days are great. stress is reduced a whole ton especially in this summer heat.
