Postby DejaVuGurl1203 on May 24th, 2010, 11:14 am
Another SFGAm trip with Galvan, another great day at the park...

Bull - 25
BTR - 7
SUF - 5
Demon - 1
AEB - 1
TDK - 3
Sky Trek Tower - 3
Rue Le Dodge - 2
Viper - 2
Whizzer - 1
Giant Drop - 1

Notes:
-20 of the rides on Bull were during the ERT Facebook Fan Fest. NO ONE was there. I was in the front row several times, and then Mike and I decided to ride each row. I broke my record for 12 rerides on Bull from Mothers Day a few years back. Back then I got sick after 12 rerides, this time, I was able to handle 20 without getting sick. At one point I was getting cold, and one of the ride ops gave me his work sweatshirt lol.

-Also went in front row on BTR a few times, and on SUF once. I hadn't been in the front on SUF in a while, and I honestly wanted to do it again haha.

-Demon, Whizzer, Viper, and Iron Wolf all only had one train. Blue side on Eagle was the only side open, and earlier on Bull we could see them doing some work on the red side.

-I bought one of those new shirts to get a skip the line pass, thinking it was good for any day. WRONG. It was only good for THAT day, and well, we never used it since there was no line to skip!

It was a pretty awesome day.

Well theres no thread for the 17th of may but thats when I went. It was a real good day overall. The only bad part of it was that there were a TON of high school kids there. They said it was senior ditch day. Im like "yeah...ok. ur so bad because ur mother called u out sick and claim to be "Ditching"." They were so annoying. Ugh. Anyways, I got to ride 20x on almost everything. I went on almost all the rides they had there. No joke. I rode everything from Raging bull to V2 to East River crawler to even Jesters Wild Ride! HAHA We rode Jester 4 times in a row. People were lookin at us strange. It was kinda funny actually. We arent immature. We just wanted to know how the ride felt. It was so intense. JK. We rode raging bull 4x, Batman, V2, American Eagle, Giant Drop, East River Crawler 2x, Rue Le Dodge 2x, Ragin' Cajun, Whirligig, Whizzer, Chubasco (spun the hell out of it haha), River Rocker, and Jesters Wild Ride 4x. I also bought a churro for the first time from Great America, and went to Burger King for lunch. mmmmm. Importantly, I bought Dramamine which is a motion sickness pill. It actually worked! U can get it over the counter almost anywhere. Very first ride we went on was Whizzer. It got stuck just before the train arrived at the station and we had to wait about 15 minutes for em to fix it. No biggie. We also talked to the woman in charge of letting people get in line for whizzer right at the top of the stairs queue. She was awesome to talk to. Very open. Then moved our way towards Southwest territiory and rode raging bull and chubasco. As usual no wait for chubasco but waited at most about 20 minutes for raging bull. The young guy operating raging bull did a very good job in talking about the park. I liked that. Afterwards we moved to American eagle and V2. No about 5 minute wait for Eagle. They only had blue side running. Whats up with one of the seats usually getting stuck on eagle?? Then we rode V2. Wait was about 10 minutes. I rode all the way in the back. That was actually intense when you go down the straight part and ur lookin down at the water. I got my churro and made my way towards ragin cajun and jesters wild ride and batman. Didnt like the dance music they play in the batman station. Rode batman, then waited about 10 minutes for ragin cajun. We then saw that Jesters wild ride was actually open and were curious. Its a very chill ride and you can lay back and relax on it. We went on it 4x and the guy operating it was smiling and giggling. He was wondering what young adults are doin riding a kids ride. I liked it. Then we saw East river crawler. We had never ridden it before so we gave it a try. 2x we went on it. We didnt get off after the first ride, so rode again. Although the girl working it, kind of hurt us when she was securing the lap bar. She pushed on it sooo hard down that it hurt. We were like "Ow." Then we rode Whirligig and the high school kids were acting immature and pushing each other on the swings. Theyll never learn. We then went to Burger King for a delicious burger and came back after an hour. Then after we came back, we went on Rue le dodge. Those cars actually go kinda slow and the acceleration pedal didnt respond that quick. We went twice. First time also riding the bumper cars. Ive been goin to the park for a couple of years now and that was my first time. :) Then we went to Chubasco and spun the hell out of the teacup. MY friends were trying to hold the wheel but i spun relentlessly. HAHA :lol: Then we rode Giant Drop. That was about a 10 minute wait. We rode River Rocker also. What happened to the water? Idk but there were more high schoolers on the ride and they were kinda giving a hard time to the girl operating it. They were trying to act like big shots and they purposely kept swearing on the ride even after the operator kept tellin em to watch their language. She was so mad at them after the ride was over. They wanted to ride again, but she made em get off even though no one was waiting to get on. My my was she furious at them. Wow. Then we decided to end the day riding Raging bull one more time. We rode in front this time and it was intense as usual. I prefer the back a lot more. Finally my tradition I always do before I leave the park for the day, buy a funnel cake Sundae. Not a regular funnel cake or funnel cake supreme, but a funnel cake sundae! One of the guys in costume gave me 2 thumbs up because I had one. Lol. Overall i would rate the day 8.5 out of 10. Excellent!
