Due to horrible traffic we didn't get there until about 6. First ride we went on was Condor, walk-on. It has a great view at night. Next up was King Chaos, a 2 minute wait. Very fun ride... I actually put my hands up on it for the first time.

Then we headed towards Batman. We waited about 20 minutes for the back row. When I got home from school earlier I forgot to change into my shoes, so I was wearing flip flops during this trip. Riding Batman barefoot wasn't bad in the cold, it actually felt awesome. We wanted to go on V2 but decided the line was too long, figured it'd be shorter later on.

Then hopped onto Fiddler's Flung, great ride. When getting off though our lapbar would not go up, so we had to wait for assisstance. Didn't feel like waiting for Iron Werewolf, moved onto American Eagle. 20 minute wait for front row red, since it was the only one open. This was an awesome ride, for one the front is awesome at night, and the cold actually felt good. When we got off the line was a lot longer than we had to wait for, so we were glad we got on it when we did.

Then it was time for RB. Two train operation with most of the switchbacks being used in the first queue house. Was a 40 minute wait for the back row. I could not feel my feet at all after this ride, lol. Was awesome though, I always love riding Bull at night.

Viper was up next. About a 30 minute wait for row 1:3. Having no grouper sucks... and no airtime also sucks. Still a good ride thpigh, you couldn't see where the crap you were going. Then headed to Demon, but stopped at Orbit on the way and just walked on. Onto Demon, waited 2 trains for 6:1. Good ride. Shortest wait on any of the roller coasters today. Waited for Whizzer next, about a 10 minute wait for the back.

After buying stuff from the Sweet Shoppe, we hurried past the parade (which was really cool to watch) and went to V2. Once we got in line, the ops were telling people to get off the ride and get back in line. Waited in the station a few minutes. Then they either said it will or will NOT be back in operation, so everyone started to leave. Then the ops said get back in line. Our wait became a LOT shorter because of that, lol. We ended up waiting only 1 train instead of 5. Awesome ride as always, I wanted to stay on...

Park was closed so it was time to leave. I had a really good time, crowds weren't as light as I had expected, but at least it wasn't like a Saturday. 12 rides in 5 hours is pretty good.

I actually saw you in line for King Chaos.. we went on it at the same time. It seemed more intense then I remembered in the past. Or it could have just been that I hadn't eaten anything all day except for a Power Bar :lol:

Haha, did you hear when they said "Enjoy your ride on this vertical tootsie roll"? I thought it was funny. The ride did seem a bit more intense.
