Alright, I finally made it back to the park this weekend after not going for like 2 weeks, thats a long while for me this year! Saturday morning I arrived at the park and was able to do that 15min early entry to the park with my SP, which was fantastic. Got 2 rides in on intimidator, after meeting up with Dustin, and then we headed over to good ol Rip Roarin Rapids. I was actually surprised there really wasnt a line for it, which is about the only reason we rode, of course this was like 10:30 in the morning or something. After that we headed over towards thrill zone and hit scream weaver, drop zone, and ricochet. Then it was time for what we had been waiting for, since the 90* weather hit, boomerang bay. The waterpark was just great. I was very shocked that the water wasnt freezing cold, it felt wonderful. We spend most of the day in the waterpark chillin by the pool and ridin a couple slides. After the waterpark we hit intimidator 1 more time for a total of 3 rides and then headed home. A great saturday trip and it wasnt overly crowded like I had expected.
After an exhausting, but fun day at the park yesterday I never woulda thought I would go back today. My daughters were staying with their grandma and at 9am we got a phone call from 2 little girls that wanted to go to the waterpark, so being the nice parents that we are, we went and got the rugrats and took them to the waterpark! It was another great day in the park, this time no regular rides at all just water park. The kids absolutely loved it! They like the mushroom fountains and jackaroo landing play area. My little 3 year old even rode the waterslides, which was her first at the park but not her first waterslide, she actually rode a bigger one at the aquatic center in Monroe last year, which she didnt enjoy much, so I wasnt expecting her to ride it but she did and wanted to do it again. She did the red/white slide and the other slide that is yellow and orange, and luckily my 6 year old did too and she liked it as well. Overall another great weekend of going to the park! I am red as a lobster now, but hopefully it will just tan and I will be ready for our beach trip in a couple weeks! As far as crowdiness, the waterpark wasnt horrible, but the SP lot was already full when we got to the park at around 11 or so... By the time we left there were people in the grass and the parking lot was fairly full, no where near as bad as last saturday. Pretty busy for a Sunday though. Not sure about all the rides since we didnt go anywhere else. Another great family trip to the park and my kids had a GREAT time, and I did to, even though I didnt get to ride intimidator...
