After horrendous traffic around the parking lot, my friends and I finally arrived at the park around 12:40, and we immediately headed for raging bull. Surprisingly the line was only about 20 minutes, and we got on the back row. The ride was as awesome as it usually is, though I am still confused by the use of trim brakes before the on ride photo. Anyways as the train was waiting to enter the station at the end I realized my phone and keys had flown out of my pockets during the ride, which was disappointing. Regardless, we decided to move on towards viper. This was my first time on viper and I was surprised at how awesome it was given there is nothing spectacular about it on paper. There was a lot of airtime and lots of head choppers and it was really fun. Next we decided to get back on raging bull since we knew the line would get longer towards the middle/end of the day, and again after a short 30 minute wait raging bull did not disappoint. At this point it was close to 2:30, and we headed for the demon, which I had never ridden on before. My friends warned me of how rough they remembered the ride being, but I was pleasantly surprised to experience their reports were exaggerated. Demon was not my favorite ride of the day, but given how short the line was it was well worth experiencing for the first time. Next we wanted to head over to batman, however the line was over 1.5 hrs, so instead we walked over to the subway across the street for some lunch. We returned to the park right around 5. I knew we had to leave at 7, and so I figured that meant one ride on either batman, superman, or v2 (All of which had 1.5 hr + waits), or a couple of lesser rides. I was willing to wait for the 3 coasters I mentioned earlier, but not by myself, and unfortunately no one else wanted to, so I went along for the merry go round, which was not all that exciting. Next we headed to American Eagle which did not have any line at all which was awesome. The ride was rough and bumpy, but still tons of fun. Finally we got on Viper one more time before heading out, which like last time was lots of fun. So while it was disappointing losing my phone and not being able to get on batman, superman, or v2, the trip was still really fun, and if anything made me appreciate the park more for having a bunch of awesome rides that can be ridden even when the top tier rides have ridiculously long rides.
Best rides of the day: 1. Raging Bull (both times) 2.Viper (Both times) 3.American Eagle 4.Demon 5.Merry Go Round

sounds like you had fun and it's good to hear that you liked Viper witch has to be the best ride at the park for me
Did you get your phone and keys back!?
 poor wolfie rip
 ( hopewe get a neww bm wingrider for next year!11!
How it's not like her can go under Raging Bull and look for them. Plus his phone was probably smashed depending on on where and when it fell out. I'd be more upset about the keys. Yeah, I think a lot of people forget how awesome AE is and don't take advantage of the short lines.

the only compliant i hear for AE is how far they have to walk to get there. It only bothers me when i stand by Wiggles Stage for more then 5 min. It was so bad one day I was singing wiggles songs going up the lift hill
I'm pretty sure the phone broke on the fall, but i filed a lost items report and I called their customer relations line, so hopefully I'll get a call in a couple of days regarding the keys.
So they do actually go and look for peoples lost stuff? Was it a good phone? Were your house keys included in those you lost?

They would probably look a little harder for keys and maybe a phone, but not as much as some idiot loosing a hat during the ride.

and that is why i wear shorts that have pockets that either button zipper or are velcrow hah well i hope you get thos keys back
Make B&M Great Again.
Viper is the best ride at SFGAm.
I would say its up there but Raging Bull really has to be the best overall ride. Viper is probably in top 3 or 4.
The phone wasn't too special so no big loss there, but yeah it was my house key. I'm just thankful I didn't drive because my car keys would have been in the same pocket. I was also lucky that my wallet, and locker receipt were in my other pocket which held everything in.
I personal don't care for Raging Bull that much. I get pretty bored after the first drop
Yeah, one time I was with my boyfriend and we had a bag with our towels in it and some candy we just bought from the park. We went on Batman and put it to the side (this was like 2 years ago). My season pass was also in the bag. When we came back to the station, my bag was gone. We looked everywhere for it, even told the ride ops about it. Some pathetic a-holes took it. I filled out a report and went to get a replacement for my season pass. A few days later, it came in the mail: My bag, my season pass, and the pills I had in the bag. The towel was gone, and of course so was the candy. It sucked, but ever since then after going to Hurricane Harbor we go straight to the car to put our bags away. Oh yeah, and the next time we went, I brought my old season pass on accident, well sort of. I couldn't get in with it, so I went over to guest relations and they told me how once you get a replacement the other one is invalid. I didn't know that. So I had to pay $10 for a 2nd replacement.
Your lucky u didnt ride Superman then you could've lost your wallet and ruin your day at GA but glad you had a good time. Yup viper is awesome watch Showstoppin on youre next trip if you cant get any rides on the big rides yes its worth it.
I can understand that as its true if you ride it alot. But i guess i just dont find head chopper effects as scary as a ride with overbanked turns where you are only held on by a small lap restraint. Other then the tons of airtime viper gives, i just have more fun on Bull because its smoother, faster, and higher and more free. Especially Bull from the back row with your legs out and arms up
