Labor Day 2009

Let us know how your day at the park was.

I don't really want to make a full-detailed trip report, and don't really have time to either, but I will make some notes and highlights.

-It was not very crowded. The park seemed crowded, but lines were pretty short for the most part. It was a great day to go, absolutely beautiful. Lines were pretty much anywhere from 5-15 minutes, maybe 20 at the most.

-For our first ride on BTR, as soon as we got in line it seemed to break down. I don't know what happened. All I know is that the music stopped and the line did not move for about 5 or so minutes until they finally said something on the mic. Once they said it was down, tons of people in front of us left the line, and about a minute later, it was back in operation. Hilarious. :lol:

-In Hurricane Harbor, while walking up the steps for our second ride on Wahoo Racers, I stubbed my toe pretty badly on a step, which hurt a lot for a few minutes.

-Our second time on BTR, we waited for front row. Eventually I realized this was the wrong day to choose the front row - Both trains had one seat in the front row closed. But we did get to go ahead of a group. Front row is so AWESOME, I want to ride it more often. When we came back into the station, the train stopped and the floor came up, but the restraints remained locked. I was wondering how long we'd be sitting there. We sat there maybe another minute or two, and suddenly, the train moved forward and the first thing that came to my mind was, "Cool, we get to ride again! Better buckle the seatbelt." But it only moved about an inch or two and then stopped, so it was a mispark. I heard another guy say as soon as it started moving he quickly grabbed the seatbelt lol.

-Our second time on Bull, we went in the front row and got the red train. It was pretty amazing.

Bull - 2
BTR - 2
AEB - 1
Whizzer - 3 (That's probably the most I've been on Whizzer in one day. I really love this ride and am glad we still have it because it is great.)
Viper - 1
Demon - 1
Orbit - 1
Revolution - 1
Fiddler's Fling - 1
Great America Raceway - 1

Wave Pool - 3 times
Castaway Creek - 1
Tornado - 1
Vortex - 1
Typhoon - 1
Bahama Mama - 1
Wahoo Racers - 2

All in all, a great day.

Glad you had a great day. Did anyone got the 1,000,000th rider on AE? The ride operators kept telling the riders about it on Sunday. Glad you had a fun day 2 bad about your toe.

^Oh, sorry about that, I didn't notice the "AEB"

Yes, the 1,000,000th was on Monday on the Red Side....Probably at about 4:30-5:00ish.
