Bests, Worsts, Firsts, & Disappointments?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby Ilovthevu' on October 23rd, 2004, 9:38 am
As the season is coming to an end, I would like to ask you if you had any firsts this year (besides new rides), bad days, best days, and were you disappointed at all.

For me, I didn't really have any firsts.

For the bad day, it was in September when the workers made me mad and put me in an A row instead of a B, and recently it took me an hour and half at night to get one ride of D Vu. I would explain more, but it would probably be an argument with you guys.

For the best days, they were in May, when it seemed like there were ten people in the park.

Lastly, for disappointments it was having King Chaos by Huss instead of Chaos by Chance.

Altogether, it's been a great year, and I can't wait for next year.

I've had alot of firsts this year:

1. SUF
2. Deja Vu
3. Raging Bull
4. Revolution
5. AER & AEB
6. Ragin' Cajun

Not really many disappointments, except for Ragin' Cajun; I hate that ride! :x I want to ride V2 and King Chaos for the first time today. The best times were those scorching days in the summer, when almost NO ONE was at the park.
How much longer can I last until Opening Day! ARRRRGH!

Bests: First ride of the season on Bull, but not in the last row because my friends can't run. Riding RC and examining my bruises afterwards. Returning to IL for Fright Fest. Breaking 75 on AER. Falling asleep on Demon.

Worsts: AEB.

Firsts: All the new rides, except for KC. I went on SSR for the first time too.

First - v2
Best - CME Night. Got on almost every coaster (some more than once) in 4 1/2 hours.
Worst - First visit of the year. Cell phone got stolen, my party got seperated, craziness in line for RC (STILL haven't gotten on it).
No disapointments really. Well execpt that I should be at Fright Fest right now instead of home sick. But, no use whining about that I guess - there's always next weekend.

Firsts- I had plenty of firsts, not going to name them all. One of my favorites, besides some of the new rides, was Terror Twister.

Bests- First dispatch on Vu 3 times this year. And actually getting a re-ride on Bull, without asking, after the park had closed. :D

Worsts- Getting stuck on King Chaos on a bad & extremely crowded day.

Not really any disappointments...

Well, other than the marathons on certain rides, and the new rides, there were no firsts in relation to coasters or rides this year.
I did, however, learn to pass clubs (juggling), the jug o'jugglers taught me.
Bests are the rainy days where the rides are still open
worsts are the rainy days where the rides aren't still open.

Let's see.....
I didn't really have any firsts. The new rides are the only firsts.

One of the best days is when my friend and I got to go into the Green Room at the Grand Music Hall and meet some of the cast from the magic show.

Prolly one of the worst days was the second saturday of fright fest, since it was absolutely the coldest day I've ever experienced at great america ever!

All in all, it was a great year, and I'll be hanging at the last day of fright fest to celebrate the end of the season.

Unfortunately, no first except for Mardi Gras and Revolution.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.

This actually was a great season for Kiwigoodkid and I, so let's break
it down:

Best Day(s): Buy out visit on April 24th and Openning day.
Worst Day(s): There really wasn't any for us.
Firsts(for me, kiwigoodkid already listed his):
1 - 2nd Admited to the park on May 1st
2 - Getting manualy lowered on Superman. Kiwigoodkid and I had
a great time with that.
3 - Revolution Solo (Not really that fun with out a lot of people on it, very
bumpy.
4 - Kiwigoodkid and I were the only ones on the First Run on Demon and
Viper on any given day.
5 - On the first run of Demon, Viper, Superman(Openning day), DeJaVu, Revolution(The day it openned).
Disappointments: There really wasn't any. Like I said it was a
great year.

Can't wait for the 2005 Season. We already have our passes. Processed
and everything!

I guess you can say that all of SFGAm was a first for me since I went this last summer. I really liked the park, and it was the nicest out of the Six Flags parks I have been to. I would love to go back on a less crowded day. The only rides I didn't get on was Ragin Cajun and Deja Vu, but I've been on Deja at SFMM and Ragin' Cajun is just like the spinning wild mouse that I went on at the Del Mar Fair.

Firsts: I had a lot. It was my first time with a season pass. First time ever riding V2, Giant Drop, Superman, Revolution.

Worst: I went 3 times this summer, the 2nd time it was too crowded so we left before getting inside. The third time, 10/30, it was crowded, cold, and windy and the lines were terrible. I only got on 2 rides :( Also, Revolution, it makes me sick.

Disappointments: Nacropolis, lack of characters wandering around on 10/30 (outside of Nacropolis, i only saw about 3).

Next year I have to ride DejaVu, Raging Bull, and American Eagle and I'll have ridden every roller coaster. (I'm afraid of heights so getting myself on these is difficult ;))

Gonna update my bests. Getting on first dispatch on Vu 4 times this year, getting a re-ride on Bull without asking, and tonight's ride on Viper. Major airtime. Jeff (DejaVu The Ride) held onto my arm whenever I flew out of my seat cause it freaked him out a little. It was great. I loved the airtime so much. :D

My only disappointment was that I didn't reach my goal of riding every ride at SFGAm before closing day. I still have yet to ride Scenic Railway. Never really felt like going on it today.
