10/9/05-Castles, rollercoasters, LAFF and more!

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby LAFFfan4lyfe on October 10th, 2005, 10:27 am
well let me see....
we got to the park really early, like 8:30 AM, and waited until after all the pom pon girls got in. got into the park around 9:30, and ran to Superman. We got on first dispatch of superman for the morning, row 8.

After superman we went to Batman, rode row 8. Nice ride, it's becomming one of my favorites.

After that, we went to V2, rode in the third row i think, still don't like this ride.

Next we went to spaceleys, rode back row, took a cute picture. I wanted it, but had little money.

Next was Iron Warewolf, back row, jerky ride. My head got bashed a few times, that hurt.

Then it was over to Eagle blue, rode in the second to last row.

Then it was over to Demon, listened to Dan sing the Demon song through the entire line, which wasn't too long, and rode 6:1. Love the new theming, i wish it could be that way all year around.

After that we headed over to see the Haunted Castle 3-D. We went in the season pass early entry line, got in, it was packed when the show started. I only thought this show was okay, it moved slow, but the animation was pretty cool.

Afterwards, i bought my triple haunt thing for the haunted houses and the fallen giant. We headed over to Firehouse, got some pizza, then walked around and said hi to a few people before heading back to Hometown to see the 2:00 LAFF show. Wasn't too impressed this year, read my post in the LAFF thread if you want to know.

After that, we headed into Southwest, and Dan and I went on Raging Bull, i think. We headed to go to our first haunted house, Sleepy Hollow, and I got the crap scared out of me. I was shaking the entire time, and tried to vow never to go in any of the other ones, but i had my other haunted house ticket and my fallen giant ticket left, so i was out of luck.

After that we headed over to the Necropolis. I wasn't scared in there, but then Dan and I decided to use our other haunted house ticket while we were there, and I was so scared i closed my eyes for half the time. It made it less scary not being able to see the people screaming at me.

After that we headed over to see Superstition, I enjoyed it, I like that one.

After that, we headed over to Farmer's market, i believe, and I got tacos. Yummy! We headed over to whizzer afterwards, and I rode in the second car of the last train. It was a fun ride I must say.

After that, we headed over to the fallen giant. We waited for about 30 minutes to get in, and we hit a few dead ends while in there. We did the Internal Nightmare. I was scared, but i'm afraid of those type of things, so yeah. Took a picture after that, it turned out cute.

Then we went in to ride Terror Twister. We waited awhle for this one, but it was worth it. For the first time, I didn't get sick after riding it during fright fest. That's an accomplishment for me. It's fun to ride it with your 3D glasses on.

We went back for a night ride on Demon, and while we were in line, it broke down. It was back up and running almost immediately, but it was funny watching so many people leave the line because of that. It was a long queue line, but it was a great night ride. The red lights and the fog is awesome.

Then we got a Funnel Cake Sundae, ate that, then went on Hometown Fun Machine. We fit three of us in one car, it was funny as hell.

After that, we found spots to sit and watch the parade preshow. It was good, i suppose.

After that, we headed over for a final ride on Bull. We didn't wait too long, and it was a good row 9 ride.

This is what I remember from yesterday. Some things are probably out of order, but that's what I got for now. It was a good day overall. A bit chilly, but It was good.

If you wauted for the pom pon girls, you waited for me. :) There's a ton of us, right. Another thing... what were you wearing, because I might have seen you in the park after the performance. :?:

You forgot to mention that there were 5 million people at the park. :cry: I did SUF once, IW three times, Demon twice, BTR once, and V2 four times. I also did Whirlgig, The Orbit twice, Big Easy Balloons, Fiddler's Fling, Superstition, Condor, and Ricochet. Also, were the cars (Great American Raceway) once. They weren't that great this year as of yet. Maybe, they will add more decorations to it, but it just was lacking compared to last year. I didn't see Triple Play open during the times I passed by. :cry:

I'm sorry, but those "scary" characters make me laugh. I went into Necropolis, and I rather ride the rides than stay there. I also saw LAFF once. I have to say once, because some people will go 5 times a day.

even though there werew 5million in the park, i didn't think it was too bad. I was clutching dan's sweatshirt as we went through the haunted houses, I freak at those kind of things. I also made him lead.

I used to see laff a lot, but this season...well....let me just say i would change some stuff.

Personally, Fright Fest this year blows last years out of the water, last year was just terrible, Necropolis, improved so much, last year it was a pit. All the rides were transformed better this year. Better territory theming, the haunted houses improved with more characters in them. This years Fright Fest makes last year look like sh*t (I cant use bad language on these forums).

I agree, but my legs are too long to fit in the 6:2. So I have to go 6:1.

Demon 6:1 is the best seat in the ride by far, much better than 6:2.

^Sure it is Danny, Zack knows its true that 6.2 is better, plus I took my bag of clothes for a ride on it during Con, do that with 6.1!

That's not a really long sentance, that's like a regular sized sentance.
