So I ventured to the park today (4-24) and also yesterday for a couple hours.

Yesterday afternoon, the lines were moderate, but they did have some kind of music festival going on so that could have been why. I was able to ride intimidator 2 times, so it was pretty busy. Overall a nice 2-3 hour trip, nothing to special just wanted to go do something.

Today was a nice day. The gates were opened early than anytime I have seen before at 9, usually they dont open it until like 9 30. I was lucky enough to get in line for intimidator right away and was on the first train of the day! Rode 5 times in a row, then hit Afterburn and Thunder Road 2 times each. After that I went back to intimidator for another ride and met up with some people. We then went around the park riding quite a bit. The lines were getting pretty lengthy even Afterburn had some lines... I guess this is typical for a Saturday. Didnt ride vortex, cyclone, hurler or anything because of the lines, not really worth it I dont guess. Then we went back to Intimidator for one more round and then headed home at around 3. It was great weather wise, just wish it would have actually rained a little, just to help with the crowd.

Til next time,

RIDE ON! :D

HAHA yea when I left I knew as soon as I left it would start raining, and it did like 5 min down the road. Oh well I was ready to go anyway since I had been there since 9 and was hungry (didnt feel like paying 10 for some pizza). I did see the webcam though and the line was short. Still I got 7 rides today and 2 yesterday so I got my rides in, I guess.

I had a 3 hour drive ahead of me so I left around 3:30 after getting some pretty great rides!
