Not a bad day at all. Hung out with Dan, Zach, Nolan, Ally, Jerome, and Eric throughout the day.(Saw and talked to many other friends.)

1.Dan and I made it to Vu first, but it had miscaught.(Dan called it. :wink: ) Talked to the op and we wanted to tell people about why it was really closed.(2nd train :wink: ) It eventually opened.
2.Ate some great pizza at Firehouse.
3. Got in the webcam.
4. Lots of contruction in HH.
5. They were working on Skull Island way past close. They had spotlights around the area and they were doing some welding.
6. Crowds weren't too bad.
7. This was the first day in which you were not held under the Hometown Square bridge. They have a human wall of 3 workers standing at the crack near Aunt Marthas Boarding House.(Even though some people decided to stay under the bridge. :wink: )
8. Superman actually opened on time, but ran like crud the whole day.(It broke down twice during our supposed to be 10 minute wait.)
9. Vu' ran pretty good.
10. Whizzer and Demon were on 2 train op and Bull added the 3rd train real early(If not at open.)
11. AEB still on one train op.
12. There was an "open-mic" session at Viper.
13. Had an Waffle Cone sundae at the Funnel Cake Foundry.
14. Waits weren't bad at all, with all lines going down at night.
15. We were on the last 2 trains of the night on Vu'.
I'll add more when I think of them

DejaVu- 15

1.I had 7 early DejaVu rides, including 1st dispatch 1A and also one in the afternoon. Then I had 7 late DejaVu rides. I am now on number 33 for the season.(3 more than Dan. :wink: )
2. 7-minute dispatch at Vu'. :D
3. The wave pool was being filled the whole day.
4. The atomic coaster splash pool was full and the pink and teal slides(at least) were running with water.
5. The lazy river looks to be almost done.
6. Vu' didn't break down much at all.
7. Short lines all day.
8. Vu' was using a grouper.
9. The mess at Raging Bull. Teal Train needed a scrubbin. :wink:
10. I would have hated to clean at Batman! We noticed the insides of a stuffed animal all the way from the bottom of the stairs and into the Batcave. Then we saw the stuffed animal hung on the wall. :(
11. I was on the 1,000th ride of Vu for the year. It was also my 25th ride of the season.
12. Ate a corndog and then had cheese fries later.
13. Demon's yellow train hurt like heck and the op :) told us to stay on again.
14. The ops were great as always.
15. Met a lot of cool people.
16. Watched the idiots ride Splashwater Falls in the evening.
17. Superman and DejaVu switched places. Vu' runs better and Superman even has paint blotches on its supports! :D
18. Thanks Ally. :D
19. Be aware that since the chains at HTS are no more, they now open Season Pass processing early for your convenience. You can also use the Bathrooms behind the Grand Music Hall.
20. Cajun was stacking a lot. But they ran 5 cars for a quick line.
21. We all yelled "One more time!" on the last ride of the night at Vu' and were allowed to go around once more!(Thanks guys. :wink: )
22. So yeah, the best crew of the day was Vu'! They will definately be my favorite crew for the year! Props to them. :lol: They were running to get restraints closed at night.

That's all for now! If I think of more, then I will add more. Thanks to all who made my weekend great!(Even those who will remain nameless. :lol: )

Until Next time.....

Whizzer's third train does look ready if they want to use it though.

It seems like so far Deja Vu is running fairly smoothly, cept for when they are understaffed.

Deja Vu has by far the best crew in the park, they seem to have the most fun with their work. "There goes the floor, you're out the back door, enjoy your minute thirty four." :lol:
