August 15th

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby kcabmi on August 16th, 2006, 12:42 am
It all started when I woke up hearing a stupid rooster alarm clock. It was 8:30 in the morning and I was tired. We went to bed at 2 so I only got 6 1/2 hours of sleep. My friend threw 1000 bb's at me that night so I didn't sleep much. Well anyways, we ate breakfast and then at 9:00, we were on our way out the garage door. I steped in the car and was so excited about the day ahead. It was a 45 minute drive to the park. We arrived to the entrance just as the park was opening.

We first headed straight to Raging Bull. We waited about 15 minutes. The line started at the flash pass thingy. We went up the stairs, then went straight for the back row. Then the ride ops gave the thumbs up, and off our way we went. The first drop was just amazing. It was probly my 20th time on this beast but I still love it everytime. Then while having a huge adrenaline rush, we finally came to a stop by the final breaks. We crawled back to the station and then the restraints opened up and we got out.

Then, after the Bull, my friend made me go on Giant Drop. I was scared, I had never been on it before in my life so I was nervous. The line was practically a walk on. So I sat in my chair and almost pissed my pants. We started going up and up and up. Then, at the top of the 230 foot tower, we dropped all the way back down to earth. It was exciting. I loved it. I tried to scream on the way down but my throat wasn't working. We had such a blast, so we did it all over again because the line was still only a 5 min wait.

Then we headed to V2. We started walking all the way to the other side of the park. Then we passed up Iron Wolf and noticed that there was no line at all. So we got in the line. I was scared because I knew how rough the stupid roller coaster is. But there seriously wasn't a line. We just walked right on. Then we left the station and once we left the top of the lift hill, I remember how rough it was. My head was banging around so much. When we got back to the station and I got off, my nuts were crunched. That ride is the ultimat nut cracker.

Then we headed to V2 where we orrigonally wanted to go. My second favorite ride. We seen the line and it was only a 3 minute wait. So we started walking throuh the line. We got through the line and got in the seats. I was excited. Then, we got launched. We went back and forth and the end. We got off, and said, "LETS DO IT AGIAN!!!!" So, we did. It was just as fun on the second time too.

Then, we went and got some free water. The ice water at Six Flags is free. It's awesome. I loved that water.

Then, we went on Batman The Ride. The line was super short again. Only 5 minutes. We walked along the very nicely themed line. Then, we got into the station and I still didn't have my water all swallowed yet. So I tried to chug it down but I got a brain freeze so I just through it out and got in my seat. The ride was awesome.

Then after Batman, we went to go see how long the line for Superman was. We started walking there. We got there and it was huge. The first long line of the day. It was probly an hour wait. I don't know why so many stupid people would want to wait in that line for Superman. We didn't go on it.

We kept on walking, I was like, lets go on Viper. So we started walking over to it. But then we saw that line and it was pretty long too. It went all the way to the start of the line. So we didn't go on that either.

Then, we headed for Raging Bull agian. YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best ride ever. The line was pretty long. It started outside but there was no zig zagging. So we got in line. There were these really annoying people in front of us in the line. They thought there were 5 seats in a row. And all of the kids were shorter than 54 inches.

We waited and waited. We got in the station and headed for the back again. I love that ride.

Then, we headed for the restaraunt area by Deja Vu. We got in line for Papa Johns pizza. Yummmmmy!!!!!! My friend got his pizza first. He got pepperoni. And then he left and started eating while I was still in line, waiting for my cheeze pizza. The stupid people working there didn't give me my pizza for like 5 minutes. And then by the time I got my pizza and sat down, my friend was almost done already. But I started eating it and it tasted really yummy. While we ate, we watched Raging Bull go up the lift hill, over and over again.

Then when we finished our pizzas, my friend had to take a crap. So my friend went inside the bathroom and I waited outside. 10 minutes later, I didn't know where he was. I was starting to wonder if he was dead. But then he came out. I was so glad.

Then, we went and looked all around, the lines were getting humongo jumbo. It was scary. It was about 12:30. So then, my friend said, "We should get a fast pass". I was like woah, "U know those cost 15 dollars right?" He said, "Yap" So we went and bought 4 fast passes. But we skipped the people in line. My friend was like, "Where does the line start?" And the dude who sold us the passes, was like, "Don't worry, they won't beat you up!" We started laughing.

So then, we went to Raging Bull, the best ride ever. This was gonna be our 3rd ride on the bull for the day. So we went through the fast lane. And then we were gonna wait for the front but it was too huge of a line. S we went in the second row. It was fun but not as good as the back.

Then we headed for Superman since we had the fast passes. We got to the line and it was all full. We just skipped everyone. It felt good. It was a good day. But it wasn't over yet. We waited for about 10 minutes tho. We went for the back, the best row for that coaster. The positive G's in the back were at about 10 G's. haha.

Then when we got off, the people walking behind us said that they waited an hour and 45 minutes. And we only waited 10 minutes. HAHA!!!!!!!! I said, "IN YOUR FACE!!!!!!!" :lol:

Then we walked back through the Mardi Gras section. The V2 line was too huge. So we we walked to the Eagle. My friend hates that ride but we did it anyways. We waited about 15 minutes. The ride was fun. But the first drops angle is not steep enough. O well, I can't do anything about it. hahahahhahahahhaha. :D

Then, we walked right by Deja Vu and it was actually running, but we didn't know if we should go on it because the line was humongo jumbo. But we did anyways. And the line was almost completely full. So we got in line, and prepared for a super long wait. But I had to pee. So I went and found the nearest Bathroom. I peed, then ran back. We got in line.

Then after about 10 minutes in the line, it broke down. :( But we waited it out. It was boring. Then the ride started again. It was only broke down for like 10 minutes. The ride loading times took FOREVER!!! This lady behind us had nasty crooked teeth. It was scary. While in line, we noticed that Giant Drop wasn't working anymore. The trains were just stuck at the top of the tower. We were happy that we got our 2 rides on it in the morning. While waiting in line, I was pretty bored and I was super thirsty. I felt sick. We waited for about 1 hour. It was such a fun ride, it was my second time only because it's always broke down. It was my friends first ride on it. We both loved it.

I was dying of thirst so I went and bought a coke. My friend bought ice water, because It's FREE!!! Thats so awesome. I chugged it down.

It was about 3:30. Then we went on the Demon. I was so hot in line because the sun was shining down on us. I was sweating. I was completely soaked from it. We waited through the line. It took like 20 minutes. We rode it, it was fun.

Then, after that, we headed for Viper. The line was smaller than it was earlier but still long. It was sweet. We sat in the very back. This tall black dude was getting on the train, but for some reason, the ride ops made him get off. Maybe he was too tall. That sucked for the black guy. That sucked for the black guy. And the ride op was so annoying. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But the ride was fun. We got some insane major air.

Then after Viper, it was like 5 o clock. Me and my friend went to this restaraunt. I got some ice water, because it's FREE!!!! Which is awesome. My frind got another piece of pizza because he was hungary. It was cheese this time, not pepperoni like last time. We sat on this pic nic table that was in the bright sun. I drank my water as he ate. And we were sitting there while Demon just got stuck on the lift. It was hilarious. Then we went back and got some ice creme. My friend was still hungary. :lol: It was so yummy except they didn't have chocolate. I was mad. :(

Then Demon finally got going again. Then, we went to go look how long the line was for the bull. It was huge, and our fast passes were gone. So we walked to the other end of the park. We went on V2 again. It was our 3rd time. The wait was long tho. Like a half hour. But we rode it anyways. I went to the bathroom agian. And got some more free water. Becuase it's free. yah!!!!!!

Then we got back to the Bull to see if the line was smaller. It wasn't. Then I wanted to go get a funnel cake. Because we had 2 dollar coupons and I never had one before. So we went looking for a Funnel cake store but we couldn't find one. But finally, we did. I saw the line was sort of big but I went in it anyway. Then I took a better look at my coupon and realized it expired at 5 PM. I was so pissed. But since I was already in like for like 10 minutes I stayed in. Then I finally got to the window after like 20 minutes. I got mine with ice creme on top with hot fudge. It was good. As I ate it, ice creme dripped on my pants. It sucked because it looked like I pissed my pants. :( I was so mad.

By now it was like 7:15. And we had to be to the parking lot at 8. Then we went to go see what the line was like for Deja Vu. It looked like it would take a while so we didn't go on it. Now it was too late for us to go on any more coasters because of the lines.

So we went on Chubasco. It was our first flat of the day, besides Giant Drop. THat ride is actually amazingly fun. HAHA. It was my first time on that ride. We spun ourselfes so fast. I almost puked. Then we went in the line for Ricochet. THe line took like 10 minutes but then we were in the chair. And we started spinning and then like 1 minute went by without us ever starting to go in the air. And we were like WTF?!!! The ride op was like, "I don't know whats going on!!!". We just kept spinning, it took forever for gravity to just stop it. It took about 3 minutes. Then when it finally stopped, we got off, and it was so stupid.

Then we went back to to Chubasco for our last ride of the day because it's so fun. We spun ourselves till we were sick again. THen we walked back to the entrance. On the way, I went to the Bathroom and then got some more free water.

Then we got to the parking lot and got in the car. I took off my shoes because my feet were acking so bad after being at the park for 10 hours. So I took my shoes off. It felt so good. And I was so tired, I fell asleep on the ride home.

Then I got to my friends house at like 9. We just chilled for a while. Then we went outside and played some basketball. Then we came in. And right now I'm typing this trip report.

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a fun day. This was my first trip report. Sorry if I wasn't detailed enough. Next time I will explain what happened in much more detail. Thanks for reading it.

Wow, it really sounded like you were advertising the free water. Most people on the board already know that so you didn't really need to keep reminding us.

Sounds like a good trip. Smart idea getting a fast pass. Kinda wish I got one a few days ago...

Good trip report and it had enough details(maybe too many as we dont need to know that you waited for your friend to take a "crap").
The free ice water is a very good dea and i find it funny when people buy bottled water at the park.
As for flashpass, i would NEVER buy one and give them the extra money to visit a attraction that is part of your park admission. If one does a little research you can go to almost any park and get alot done without shelling out more money.

I really like how the trip report was very detailed. It said how long the lines are, and it gave a good explanation of what you did the entire day. We need more trip reports like this. 2 thumbs up!

After my cousin got off of Iron Wolf, she said "I'm not a virgin anymore" but of course she was kidding but it was soo funny. A ride op heard her and started laughing as well. :lol:
"Oh My Gosh, She is such a whore!" - heard behind me exiting Raging Bull.

What a fun day for you it sucks about the lines for the ride ie DEJAVU but if your patient enough to wait you can eventually ride the ride. I went on Wednesday and got to ride DeJaVu 4 times which was a miracle and the lines were long. I would post a TR maybe. Fun day for you indeed.

thanks. Ya, I did actually get to ride. But I did have to wait an hour for it. But I was pretty happy because I thought the line was gonna take 2 hours because it says that the line is 2 1/2 hours when full.

Ya, I guess I did mention too many details. Sorry. haha.

I wasn't expecting anybody to read this because how long it it. lol. It's 4 pages long in size 12 font. :shock:
