We got on to Grand Ave. at around 10:15 and got into the park at 10:22.
All we saw was bus after bus after bus!!! Turned out to be a pretty good day though! Here we go:
Raging Bull (1st ride) First ride of the day. We missed the chain drop by about 2 min. Anways. got there, it was already packed! About at 45 min wait for the back row far left seat with some friends. Didnt seem to get airitime anywhere besides the firt drop. 7/10
Deja Vu (1st ride) It was testing when we were on RB so we RAN for it. Long line. Almost to the turnstyles. AWESOME RIDE!!! I always hate when your harness cant make that extra click. 3A 8/10
Demon: AN ACTUAL LINE!!!!!!!!! Shakey ride. After the tunnel thats after the loops we screamed,"HOLY CRAP I JUST SAW TONY DANZA" LOL 6/10
V2 (1st) Decided to go for the front row. Ride-ops switched posts on OUR cycle. Had to wait like 5 min because they were arguing who would do which Awesome ride 9/10
BTR: (First Walkon) Line when right to the station. Front row. Small wait. Awesome ride. 8/10
SUF (1st ride) As always, longest wait of the day. 45 min. 4th row. Good ride. 7/10
AE (1st ride) Waited for one train. Shakey ride. 7/10
(Heres when our marathon started. 4 more rides all in different seats. 9/10
Before AE we saw IW broke down. After it was open again.
Iron Wolf: Front row NO WAIT. Got right on. The turn after the corkscrew hurt more than the corkscrew itself.
RB (2nd ride) Waited 30 min again. Figures. First tiem on the red train. (I've always ridden the teal until now) More airtime than last. 9/10
SUF (2nd and 3rd time) This was the most unexpected walkon and reride walkon of the day! Station was EMPTY. Got on it. Ride-op wouldnt let us stay (even though no1 was in line) Ran into the fastpass entrance (no1 was coming anyway ) Got on it again. I did the Superman pose. Both rides 10/10
DV (2nd time) 20 min wait thanks to the congested station. 5 A. Slow. Felt like it was gunna miscatch. Good ride. 9/10
V2 (2nd time) We walked on it. EMPTY STATION. The ride-op was begging people to get on the ride! My friend did the nickel trick on the 2nd time up the twisted spike. We almost hit the bumper. It took the dime about 5 sec. to hit my friend behind me. AWESOME RIDE!! 11/10
Raging Bull (3rd time) Walked through to the stairs. Back row red train. AWESOME AIRTIME!!! 10/10
Other Notes: I did not see RC going at the beggining of the day, and for that matter not at all. Something happened by SUF. We saw the ambulance go speeding through the service road by DV. AeB got stuck at the top of the lift hill twice. The park emptied out at roughly 3 o'clock. There are some snotty High Schoolers. Awesoem day though!!
This happened a couple of times when I was there and I asked the ride ops and they said that they have the train in the station all checked and ready to go way before the next train comes and sometimes they release the waiting train a little too soon, causing it to stop.
...My friend did the nickel trick on the 2nd time up the twisted spike. We almost hit the bumper. It took the dime about 5 sec. to hit my friend behind me. AWESOME RIDE!!

And this is exactly the reason Coaster Enthusiasts keep getting looked down upon. I keep reading on this forum how people keep there lap bars and otsr at one click, and people like you who try and do 'tricks' on the rides, And honestly, its dumb. Its a lot like drinking and driving, you continue to do it even though you know its wrong, yet wont stop until you get yourself hurt/killed or someone around you hurt/killed. Its dumb, simple as that.
I wouldn't do this if I were you... even if the line is empty. On 6/1, security was making people who tried this on Raging Bull walk all the way back out to the front of the line before coming back in.
All in all, there seems to be more enforcement of the line-jumping rules this year.

Thats not even it, who cares if they only make 1 click, huh not me, its their life. But when they do something that can hurt someone else, that pisses me off. Believe me ive gotten in a couple peoples faces when they do stupid +crap on a ride

When there was no line, and the fast pass guy was there, I asked if I coudl go through there, and he said yes. No reason for fast pass on that day. I was shocked that he let us through..but glad I didn't have to walk farther!

I did nothing wrong. I just had no clue what he was talking about in the TR. I was only asking a question. If it has anything to do with possibly hurting someone I strongly frown upon it. Thats why I asked. I do not jump to conclusions like most people. I let them explain themselfs.
The nickel (or penny for thoes who can't afford nickles ) is when you take out a nickle on the back spike of V2 and let go infront of your face. It will float there for the duration of the drop until you pull up to horisontal. It works as soon as you start going up the back spike but be careful of the holding brake.
You shouldnt do this with a loose object (more perfably somthing on a string or drawstrap) on the ride as strong crosswinds could carry it into IMS's line or onto people waiting for Capt. Salties (Is that what that place is called?)
Aero, he did it on the first spike. And it turns out my friend was kiddng that it hit her. Anyways, only reason he did it is because the train was nearly empty.

I can't believe that it emptied out after 3!!
