My 1 hour SUF marathon on the last day was pretty cool. Although I was sick and it was really cold and there was not a dry spot on my body. Closing SUF that night was fun hehe.

I totally hear you!
I never really realized it until I went to get in the car(after I got some keys!) that my Columbia coat was almost to the point of soaking through. I think there was more water in my shoes than on the midway :D

BTW, Holydumb - I remember seeing you that day, and I even got into a few of your pictures. :P

Aero-- My keys are probably right with yours in the trackwork for the new mouse! Kind of makes me wonder what they did with my clicker :shock:
Finally Coaster Season!!

I was on the last S:UF ride too! I don't remember any of you guys. Before boarding, there was 1 back row seat left and the employee told me "Don't even think about sitting there. I have that seat reserved for myself." OKAY first off, you are OPERATING THE RIDE. Guests ALWAYS get first choice in circumstances like this. I was so pissed at her for actually having the nerve to say that. The look on her face was priceless when she realized I took her seat. Did she actually think I was dumb enough to listen to her? Great ride, nonetheless. Anyone else think this was rude of her? Espically after waiting in line for the back...

Best SFGAm experience: Being in the Southwest Territory commercial. I got to ride every ride in that expansion before the public opening and before Media Day!

Worst SFGAm experience: Either the 3 hr wait for my first Giant Drop ride or the wallet that fell from the guy's pocket on Raging Bull and knocked my square in the head. Owww...

It took me 20 minutes to get out of the park because I was so cold. I'm glad my mom brought a warm blanket though. :wink:

Coasterswimgurl12: What row were you in? What train? I was on the teal train in row 7 seat 1. :?:

My best and worst of 2003-

Best:
Lots of best times, the time when it was lightning on Giant Drop =), the rain with Chet, uh, First S:UF ride on the regular season, first Vu on the season, many solo rides (S:UF, Demon, Both Eagles, Iron Wolf, V2, B:TR, probably more), and yeah, a bunch of other stuff. THE Demon marathon (UnBullievable :wink:), getting my 100th, 200th, and 300th Demon rides on the season, and getting my 100th flight on the season, and more.

Worst:
That night where I had to leave because my foot (won't get into that), and when security played that prank on me (won't get into that either :lol:).

Yeah that was a fun day even though it rained. That was cool a rain ride on Bull then a Lightning ride on Giant Drop and then 3 solo rides on Eagle red. AHHHHH I have had so many good days. Thank you SFGAm.

Are you having a brain cramp or something? The rain made the day fun! Although you left before the solo rides on V2.

Worst Park Experience: Waiting 3 1/2 hours for Deja Vu in the hot summer heat. But I did get front row on it.

Best Park Experience: On Sunday July 6th, 2003, it like rain most of the day. So after the rain stopped and like 75% of the park left, the park was empty. I rode everything like 4 times in a row, except for Deja Vu, which was closed(now thats deja vu :roll:)

Worst: Waiting god knows how long for Deja Vu in the rain at night. When we were next in line it started raining more and as soon as we sat down they made us get back in line and wait until the rain let up. After the rain was light enough to run the ride for at least an hour, they finally started testing it just as it began to rain harder (dumb). So we sat down to ride it and then they made us get off again so we just ended up leaving. I was extremely mad at the way the park handled that one.

Lets see my best time was on July 27, 2002 it was at the end of the day and I was on the last ride on Raging Bull, in the front seat, far right. Now I gave the ride op this sort of 'let's go now' look and when I gave him that took we went out the station, weird eh?

Worst Time: It was August 11, 2003: I forgot my SUF on-ride photo, two cameras with a ton of GOOD pictures on it and my old T-shirt, good thing I was already wearing my SUF t-shrit or I would have forgotton that too! Oh, yeah I get muscle cramps in my thighs everytimr I sit down on Viper's seats. So I have to be careful bout' that!
