I got to the park around 10:05, but we had to process the pass of my cousin who is visiting for a month.. After this we went and double-rode TG, which packed plenty of early morning G's... I got another ride, making it a triple b/c i jumped onto Back, Left which was empty (That should be a sin! ;) ) Then we went to the flyers and some friends met up with us, we rode em once. I headed to Thunder Road Forwards (backwards was not working ALL day)... After this a ride on the Hurler, a ride on Drop Zone, and two rides on the Ricochet ( i didn't know it was a double ride attraction) made us hungry for lunch.. although there was a line i didn't mind waiting for my food at Wings, where there is plenty of air conditioning and of course, the cheap person that I am, free refills... We then headed to ricochet twice more, rode Hurler five times in a row (not having to get up), and then went to Vortex which i walked up to front row, well i had to wait for one train to load.. Then we decided Borg, b/c it was my cousin's second time and my little brother is obsessed w/ the ride I usually avoid.. Borg had only a 20 min. late, which is the maximum Im willing to wait for it, and the only thrill was that it was my cousin's second ride, and the loop that gave me some nice g's. I headed to TG for two more rides, and completed four more rides on the Flyers...

TG ran great all day with walk-up lines.. Thunder Road was also walk up, Hurler you could ride over and over without getting up, Drop Zone was the same as Hurler... Vortex was walk-up, Ricochet was really short, the Flyers were half of the first queue, and the park was nice and friendly, staff nice and attentive...

Oh and we met the ride-op who used to run the Flyers, the one on Jonathan's video.. he was at the entrance to Borg...

I had a fun-filled day from 10 until 5..

As for the Nick Parade, it was to my demise I saw its visit extended.. I hate that stupid nonsense that takes up the entire main road from Vortex until the middle of Nick Central, it is ridiculous that I have to wait to leave the park, b/c they do not let you cross.. oh well, i guess i'll have to wait until June 26...

I'll be in town on the 3rd. I would love to meet up. Maybe I'll even get Easler to go, no....sry, his parents probably have his report card by now...lol.

anyways, I registered for C3 and frank is my guest, you'll need to become an ACE member if you wanna go :P . And think about it, with what frank is going through [you know what I'm talking about], he deserves it...

It would be awesome if you, roach, frank and, I were all at C3. Its the people who make the event...
