This is always a sad time of year, even though it falls right by my birthday.

It was a fun year for me, especially since I got on a lot of rides for the first time as many of you know. Look for Demon_09 coming soon.
Anyway, I left for the park around 11 with my friend, Andrew. I got to the park around 11:50 and I met up with my other friend, Rachel. We rode Triple Pay with a 1-cycle wait for Yellow. (My tradition is now 2 seasons old) Then, my mom and I got our '09 passes processed. Interesting Buccaneer Battle decor. They even have the employees dressed up as pirates now. I have no idea why the passes are orange this year besides the fact you're buying them during Fright Fest. I split up from my parents and the rest of us took off for Orbit. 1-cycle wait as well and Rachel loved it her first time. We met up with my 3rd friend, T.J., and we rode Demon. About a 15 minute wait for front row red car. One thing was different, though. The flames on the station were gone under a layer of grey! I hope this is just a fresh paintjob for '09. Then, T.J. did his own thing while we waited a half hour for Bull red train front row. Awesome ride! We rode GAR for what could be the last time.

When we were in line, I think I saw Jonrev with some girl but I can't be sure. Can you confirm this please? Then, Andrew and T.J. bought hamburgers while I sang "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who. I got a few claps out of it and they shut it down right after. By now, it was 3:00 and T.J. had to leave for work. We headed for Iron Wolf in row 5. Since Andrew felt stuffed, he skipped it. About a 15-20 minute wait but decent and not as headbanging except for the 1st loop. I felt like seeing Mayor Slayor one more time so we headed into Necropolis. I came so close to getting Andrew with the porta potty!

I saw BTR's line was at the entrance and I really wasn't in the mood for it so we instead went through Mardi Gras and to Condor. I'm not quite sure why but Andrew puked in line for Condor so Rachel and I went on a little concerned while he waited at the exit. Luckily, he was feeling better so we went on back around the park. We decided to wait the 45 minutes for Viper row 4. I forced Andrew to walk across so me and Rachel rode. Fun as always and I had a great pose for once! We didn't have the time to wait for AE so we instead rode Demon 1 last time. I noticed all the ride ops had sweet Demon sweatshirts with the old logo. They really overdid it with the fog in the 1st and last tunnels which made it a great final ride. I stopped in Trudy's to buy some Trolli gummies for only $1.06. Not bad at all for Six Flags. Most of the day was great and I look forward to seeing what the next season will bring, and take.
