5-3-09 PTR!!!

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby bobbinbop20 on May 3rd, 2009, 10:20 pm
well today was nice, not to get into to much detail but there was an average amount of people in the park, got crowded as the day when on but not to bad. V2 is a little intamin POS that decides the break down right when were next to ride, and slow slow dispatch times. Eagle blue was closed all day from what i know. RED TRAIN (best one) and yellow train were being used on bull (SCREW YOU TEAL!!!!! HAHAHA!!) we actually choose row 8 over 9 so we could be in the red train :mrgreen:!

Loggers run was a blast, except we broke it, and also roaring rapids was open. Demon neon yellow train is great and seems to give a much smoother ride! Oh and we also did dare devil dive for my first time today, it was pretty awesome, if you haven's done it I recommend!

V2-1
BTR-1
Eagle-1
Demon-3
Bull-1
Drop-3
Viper-1
Columbia-1
STT-1
DDD-1
Loggers run-2

On to some Pictures!

Looking at the park from all the way up STT you definitely notice something missing...we need a new skyline changer...

You actually liked the Yellow train?

I still think Red gives the smoother ride. I rode yellow and thought there was NO difference.

I was on Eagle yesterday, but I have no clue what you look like, so I wouldn't know. If you remember me, I was a 13 y/o boy holding a park map and someone told me to put it away. That could have been you! But I was sitting with no one else.

I was enjoying red more than usual as it was swaying side to side towards the front. The Demon is always enjoyable whatever train I get, but red is my least favorite (not because of the color), but because of how smooth it has been. Now, it's much better in my opinion!

No, I didn't tell anyone that but I do remember someone holding a map....1st car somewhere I believe.

There were slow dispatch times on V2 because they are still training there. Its like that on every ride during training, it just shows more on V2 because it is low capacity to begin with.

V2 has to wait a minute and a half after the train parks to cool down before it can launch again (which is 30 seconds longer than SV/WT, not sure why).

I think it used to be 60, though it would overheat often. Was raised to 90 a while back.
