Written a few weeks ago, thought I might aswell post it here.
A few weeks ago I went to FMP. I woke up at 6am and left my house around 8am. We arrived at the hotel I was staying at around 12. We then arrived at the park at 1.
First up was Time Machine. Going into the park this coaster dominates everything else. I didn't realize how tall this thing actually was till I was near it. Anyways on to the ride. Going into the station there are music videos from various decades playing. I can't imagine the whole queue being filled. Once you get into the waiting area you approach 5 doors with "60's", "70's", "80's. "90's", and "00's" on them. Right now the track on the coaster does not coordinate with the doors, but it will soon. Once in the blimp station you wait for the train to come to the loading area. Once your on and start up the lift the music announces what decade your in and starts playing short 2-3 second clips from songs. When you get near the top the 10-15 second clips start to play. Going down the drop you get alot of airtime. The loop is slow at the top but not enough for Hangtime. The cobra roll is really good. I know I said I don't care for them but I guess I was trying to say Dominator's is weak. Up next is the 0-G roll, which is now my favorite element of a ride. Your floating the whole time through. The second loop has good g's and so does the helix after. You get a small burst of ejector airtime as you go into the MCBR. After that you go into a helix drop then into the corckscrew. The corckscrew is fast at first then slow then fast again. It's really fun. The last helix isn't as forceful as the first but it's still nice. My favorite tracks are the 70's and 80's tracks. Then comes the final break run and the ride is over. Me and my brother rode this 5 times to get all the decades. 10/10, very good ride and my new number 1.
Next we went across the pond (we literally went across the pond to the section called across the pond) to ride Round About. This ride is fun and the lift is cool but it's just to short to be very good. Maybe if the added 1 or 2 more helices the ride would be good. Me and my brother rode this 3 times since the second time we went on it the let us stay on. 7/10.
Next we went to Monstars Of Rock. Worst Dark Ride Ever? Actually, no. The music is cool and the ride is actually pretty cool. But I would defiantly like to see something better. Hopefully this ride is temporary. 6.5/10.
After that we went to ride the Taxi ride. This is way better then other scramblers. I like how the cars are tilted forward, it increases the thrill. We got 2 rides on this.
We then went over to the carousel for my mom. We decided to stay on for another round after the first finished.
We went to the Kids In America section and ate lunch at "Take 5 Diner". It was really good.
We rode Hang Ten 1 time for my mom, she didn't like it though. Her and my brother rode in front and I rode in back. It was actually kinda fun in the back, but still it was a family ride and nothing thrilling to me. 6/10
Then we rode Fly Like A Egale, a wierd Kiddie flat. It hurt but I guess was fun.
It was then 4:30 and time for CSI: Live! to start. We went over to the show's building and watched it. It was pretty cool and I liked how they interacted with the audience.
After that we went over to Iron Horse. This is the second best ride there. The station is awesome and adds to the ride. The music is awesome and adds to the ride. The ride itself is really fun in the back. 9/10
We then rode the swing, really fun! Afterwards we rode Big Ol' Trucks, which broke down while we were ridding but it was still cool.
We then watched one of the live bands they had playing. They were pretty good. We ate a snack from the place beside it while they were playing.
Me and my brother went back to Time Machine to ride more times. We rode 5 more times and go in all decades. But, there was actually a line this time. There was a 15 minute wait each time. They were only running one train, if they ran both it would be much better. I don't know why they didn't. But it was still good otherwise.
We went back over to the guitar to check out the Gibson store under it but it was closed so we went back to Iron horse instead. We rode this 2 more times bringing out total to 5.
Then we went to Ice Cream You Scream for some ice cream. I got a Lemon Chill, which is basically 16oz. of frozen italian ice. But it melted quick and was really good.
We went to the main gift shop to look around. As far as Freestyle Music Park logo things, there slack. But they have all these bands shirts and other things around. We went to the theater beside it and watched a little film.
By this time it was dark out, and we had 30 minutes until the fireworks show so me and my brother went to Time Machine for one night ride. It was awesome.
The final event of our day was the "Kiss The Sky Fireworks Show". This is a great topper to a great park. It is choreographed to alot of different songs. They did a really good job on this. 10/10!
We left the park and ate dinner at DQ Grill & Chill then went back to our hotel.
For all the people that say "This park sucks" or something else like it. Your 100% wrong. This park is amazing and i don't know why anyone wouldn't want to come. The theming is great. Everything is great. All that is needed is one more coaster, maybe a B&M Flyer, and it would be one of the best parks out there. I rank this up there with Busch Gardens. It was really clean aswell. This is my favorite park now. I wish them luck on making it through this year. I know they have plans to make it even better next year!
