I'm pretty tired and don't feel like typing out a lot of details, so I will just post ride totals and some notes.

Hurricane Harbor-
Tornado - 2
Wave Pool - 2
Lazy River - 2
Wahoo Racers - 2
Vortex - 1
Typhoon - 1
Barracuda - 1
Hammerhead - 1
Bahama Mama - 1
Bubba Tubba - 1
Hurricane Mtn. - 1
Total - 15

Deja Vu - 1 (2nd dispatch)
BTR - 4
Bull - 3 (1 was last train of the night)
Viper - 2
AER - 1
Condor - 1
Orbit - 1
Iron Wolf - 2
King Chaos - 1
Total - 16

Notes:
-When we were entering the queue for Bahama Mama and Bubba Tubba, I noticed that there were people helping a guy off to the side. He had an ice pack on his knee, obviously he got hurt on the Bubba Tubba, that was closed for 5-10 minutes.
-Deja Vu closed after 3 or 4 PM.
-Someone stole a souvenir cup we got some years ago when we got last dispatch on Bull.
-We had mostly walk ons in Hurricane Harbor. When lines started forming, we left.
-People really need to listen the first time they are told something. No matter how much you say something, people still don't listen. It is really irritating. People are unbelievably ignorant at Six Flags.
-Lines in the park were somewhat long, and even AE's queue had switchbacks open at one point. The shortest wait was less than 5 for RB in the morning, and also 5 for BTR at night. Longest line had to be AER, it wasn't a long line, but it took forever, 35-40 minutes.
-I have declared that people who work at Burger King SUCK at counting.

Hey at least you got your whopper and you got to ride DeJAvu. Was AeBlue closed there were people walking the track a couple weeks ago this is not a rumor or anything but maybe theyll run blue backwards for FF did they open it yet because you only went on red? All that rides on a busy day it look like you had so much fun great TR.

Blue will not be running backwards during FF, parts of it is being retracked now and I doubt it will re-open this year (the train thats sitting on the storage track is being used for a completely different reason).

Heh, at Burger King, me and my boyfriend both ordered 9 piece chicken fries, the boxes were both marked 9, but we only had 6! This was not very surprising to me, as when I was in Ohio, I ordered a 6 piece and got 12. :roll:

Yesterday, a few lines looked 1+ hour long (that we did not wait for) such as SUF, V2, RC, and AER. Everything else was less than 30 minutes (except AER when the line was much shorter), and to my knowledge, Bull didn't even use any switchbacks. I'm not sure how Vu's line was either, as the only time we passed it up, it looked like it had just closed.

As of right now plans are to have it done for FF and have the other train back where it belongs. But it is a good ride :).
