Well, the day couldnt have been better

my cousin was visiting from Switzerland, eager to ride everything, and Cephas' cousin was visiting from Maine, and didnt want to ride anything. The day started cool with some Thrill Zone after our first ride on Vortex and then Ricochet. My cousin didnt like Hurler much but enjoyed the rest of the area. Top Gun is where we influenced Cephas' cousin with a ten dollar bill, with that we bought her not being scared the rest of the trip (including wanting to go multiple times on Drop Zone, but thats later...) Funny what money does to people :P

TG was running great.... AND I GOT TO RIDE 200 :D
a major accomplishment for me at carowinds... im at 202 right now....

Anyways, to the real topic at hand - Drop Zone... When I rode Drop Zone 10 times today, including 6 in a row, I realized that it only gets better, rather then worse as it goes on... I have now made up my mind to challenge Carowinds Freak's 75 record Drop Zone rides... because it will be so much fun..

So be warned :o - a nice cool empty day like today has convinced me to break a record that seemed unconceivable thus far... That record won't remain past the month of August if I can help it!! ;)

On a bad note, Pipeline Peak was closed today (the only day in the season I'm in that waterpark all season).... it didnt open until about 3, which really stank... my cousin wanted to ride it.. but otherwise carowinds was awesome....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!. Oh well best thing about someone breaking your record is getting it back.

Yeah you have to stay on. If the there is an even number of 16 that means he has to get off.

But you can switch seats. Just saying the way I did it.

i did a 'minicamp' today lol
21 in a row.. im pumped for the 75


but i know the rules, I always switched seats..

The DZ crew was really helpful, and as much as i told them i wasn't they wanted me to break whatever record there was... letting me go in front of other patrons that were in line... it was great! best ride op crew ever!
