A few notes:
-Around 11:30 AM, we headed to Bull to find an extremely short line that was only in the station. But first, while entering the queue, a bunch of people started walking over to the second queue house... I was like what the heck is going on? Then people realized they were going the wrong way... idiots. Anyway, we went in the last row and these two girls that had just ridden decided to ride again in the back row. For this ride, I noticed that the mid-course brakes weren't on, and the trim before the helix was on. After the ride, we were about to leave the station when we noticed a completely empty row 6, so we got back on. This time, the mid-course brakes were on and the trim before the helix wasn't. Was quite interesting. Anyone want to explain to me the reasons for this?

-I rode IW in the front row for the sole purpose of seeing the Chang trains, because I thought somebody had said that they were there in the employee lot... didn't see them. I also tried putting my feet back all the way and putting my head forward... leaning my head forward does not help, as I still get thrown around and my ears still hit the harness.

-At night, we got to re-ride Whizzer in the back row. I just love this ride. It will be a sad day when they remove it, whenever that may be.

-Longest line? Probably BTR, 5-10 minutes. Well, I did see a line for SUF... looked like it was at least 15 minutes.

-This isn't really about the park, but it was one of the interesting points of the day. In 2006 on opening day, and I even mentioned this in my trip report, my ex best friend and other ex friend showed up at SFGAm to stalk me and bother me. That was the last time I saw them. Yesterday while I was sitting down, I noticed a guy walking by that looked very familiar... and when his cousin looked at me, I realized. My ex best friend was there, with her mentally challenged cousin and a few other people. It was...odd. I could tell she definitely noticed me and my boyfriend, as she was almost staring at us. It was just kind of crazy.

-To me, it seemed that the park was indeed crowded, just that lines were very short and sometimes non-existant. Maybe many people came just for the scares.

I was there also, loved that empty bull station in the morning

The braking on bull depends on the speed of the train. If they train is already going too slow, then the trims wont hit. So the first ride the train was either lighter or a gust of wind or something could have slowed down the train and hence you had no trims. Also could just have been warming up as well.

Look like you had a great day the place was almost dead I was kinda suprise with the weather being sunny and no rain. What you did riding Iron wolf is a good idea leaning youre head forward I tried that and I didnt get that much head banging and also a dumb suggestion leaning youre head is one them try not standing straight up maybe sitting a little bit so youre harness is not that close to youre head before they lock the train and moving youre head in the direction of the helix when you approach it works for me on Batman to I dont know it will work for you guys never get that much head banging but its always a pain in the neck and head riding any kind of roller coasters anyways that why they have warning sighns posted all over the rides. Have fun head pain and all.
