Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby bobbinbop20 on September 1st, 2008, 8:46 pm
so i decided to head to the park today... we got there at about 12 and we headed to superman the line kinda long so we skipped it, next we went over to BTR and it had a sign reading THIS RIDE WILL NOT OPEN TODAY! ugh i really wanted to ride it today! oh well we moved on and v2 was the first ride of the day. i was disapointed to find that the holding break was still broke =[ that was about a 5 min wait tho so it was nice after we went to wolf and the wait was at the bottom of the stairs. not to fun but i still rode it next was Ae first we did blue and it was a walk on and then we ran over to red which was also a walkon after that was went on giant drop and then raging bull which was about a 15 min wait. after we went to the demon for a walk on and the restraints on the black train are all moldy looking its gross but we got the yellow train which the restraints looked brand new.. after we went to superman someone puked making it about a 45 min wait next my sister hadnt rode the dark knight yet so i said i would wait for it with her which turned out to be about a 30 min wait and i think i liked it better my second time on it How many batmans are there because i only saw one? next was king chaos one cycle wait and then we went to the river rocker then viper and one last time on demon (moldy black car restraints this time :? )and then we headed home so overall it was a pretty light day it seemed like more people came as the day went on but it wasnt bad at all. i also talked to one of the managers i think his name was jeff (not sure) and i asked him what they were putting in vu's spot and he said a SPLASH BATTLE.. its confirmed... which i really dont want that but whatever he also said there will be a new attraction by the sky trek tower in 2010. hope its something good... to day was kind of a short trip (about 5 hours) because i may be going next sunday also?

If it was the dippin dots guy, well then I would believe him. If we should happen to get a splash battle, then thats it, the park is doomed. Crowds will vanish, and this will push the chain right into bankruptcy.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.

I used to think that, but then when i rode the one at Indiana Beach and I got to shoot this old lady standing next to the ride right in the face, I found the fun! :lol: It's basically just a water gun fight on a track...and hopefully ours would get the option to shoot off ride at the riders. But yes, if the changes I feel will happen next year actually happen, you can forget my season pass, i've moved on to Indiana Beach!

I don't see us getting that option, Six Flags might get sued for that.

Well, luckily for us, it's not up to him. It's called a Splash BATTLE ride because it's a battle with water....so he can't spoil our fun on this one! :D
