I had problems getting my season pass made. They did not have every little detail plained out for the season pass makeing. I had the worse day at the park in my life all day just 2 rides vortex and drop zone. When i finaly got to get in line of the borg i had to wait 2 hours. After I got on it front row i might add (the only luck i had all day) we got stuck on the lift hill. They tryed to reset it about 5 times but every time click click boom we were stuck again. Finaly they had to take us off the train on the lift hill. I think that the park did a very good job at helping people off the ride. I got a free ride pass so that i will not have to wait in line next time i try to ride it. I also got $10 to spend in the park (star bucks).

Yeah, i had the same problem getting my season pass made, through process was super fast as always, but the printers or whatver they are went down, so i had to wait back by those picnic tables for like 30 min. Oh well, ill be there today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And AMEN to the earlier post, BORG is awesome, but doesnt beat Top Gun. B)

My day at the park was simply perfect! Haha.

I got to the park at about 9:15, but ended up not riding scooby or any of the ERT rides. Anywho, I waited for a 1/2 before we were all allowed to ride BORG, and once my dad and I got in line, we only wait about 1.45 hours, which was much better than I had expected. We got sat in the second row (Jonathan was on our train in the last car). BORG was my first flyer, and I thought that it was simply amazing!!!! :D I still can't get over that feeling of laying facedown!! It was incredible, and overall not rough at all. Can't wait to go back and ride it over and over later in the season!!

I went to get my season pass processed at about 3 or 3:30 and zipped through in about 10 mins. It was great, and I finally have a season pass!!

It was a really good day, I rode BORG, got stuck on Hurler's and Cyclone's lift hills, finally got a season pass and took some really good pictures. It was the longest day I've ever spent at the park, from 9:15 to 8:15. Can't wait to do it again and get some night rides on BORG and Top Gun!! :lol: :D

Actualy i think borg blows top gun out of the water. That loop will get you every time. My only real complaint is that after a while the sholder straps will hurt your chest. Well it did mine because i am so skinny. The very front can be a little bumpy but not to bad.

I was the first person to arrive at the park. I was standing by the south gate at 8:15ish. In the effort to get my pass, i ended up being like the last person in the actual gates( they sent me to the north gate). I stood at the beginning of the bridge for a little over an hour, just so that when they let us go to the Borg, some little kids would sprint, against securtity orders, and fill up the first train. So I made the second train, but it was awesome. Later I got back in line to ride it again. 1 hour, and 42 minutes later, they made us leave the line because it was broken. So I wasted a good part of the day doing that. But they did have signs up all day so I couldnt complain when it broke. Anyone else get blown away by those little kids?

I was one of the "little kids" running. What row were you assigned, I might have seen you.

assigned??? does that mean you don't get to pick which row you go in :( :angry:

No...but it doesn't really make that much of a difference since it's a flyer. The view is the same, so from that standpoint it's not a big deal. Only thing may be the g-forces differing...

To me the front seat on a flyer does make a difference. If you're like me and "play Superman" with your arms stretched out, it does feel like you're flying. Its an incredible rush. Diving down "superman" style into the pretzel loop is amazing.

I can't wait to see what its like on Borg.

While I didn't actually ride the Borg Assimilator, I didn't not ride it. And I can tell you this, I was jerked around more on this rollercoaster than in my first marriage. Overly, out of this I was intrigued about concerning a man I saw that coaster was there last year.

It's not nice to throw around double negatives....

That being said, Borg was awesome. I think the lap restraint may have prevented me from ever having children in the future. :D

Cat fight :lol: . She is still learning let her be. As for what you had to say about the lap restraint. I do not want to get personal or anything but my friend (who is female) would like to know if the chest restraint is uncomfortable for wemon.
