It was kind of a bad Sunday ERT at PC today.

Borg was not working at all and then Hurler was down as well when the rest of the park opened.

Kind of aggrivating when you get up early to go to the park, to find the ride down.

Whine whine whine lol

But I did get my 2nd ride of the season on the log flume, so I still had some fun. Just weird that Borg ran great Thurs and Friday and then today it's broken.

Anyone hear what happened?

I'm heading back to the park around 7 to see the <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>final </span></span>Nick Parade, since I've missed it all month.

I also can't wait to see the Madame Tussos (sp?) tribute to 9/11 coming up the end of the month.

Well, we arrived at the park first thing today as well and couldn't ride Borg, then the rest of the day was like 2 hour waits, soo.... :angry: no ride.

This was our first trip this year. The Borg "voices" are very nice effects... especially when walking through the track layout.

Anyway... we was with my 3 year old so neither of us wanted to wait two + hours while the other rode, so we upgraded to a return day ticket and will go later this year without my son for a coaster only day for us. I did get in Thunder Road and Goldrusher. I figured I'd just wait for te other big ones for when we return.

Back to topic though. The original plan was to hit Borg first thing before the heat and tiredness set in. Unfortunately that never happened. Didn't know about Hurler, but the Helicopters were shut down for a "near miss", but not too long.

We were weary that the parade was not going to occur tonight. They delayed it about 20 some minutes, and it finally started. Rather nice, especially for their first attempt. Hopefully more parades are in store for the future. Maybe with more Paramount movies.

I took my Niece and Daughter today and wasn't really surprised about Borg or Hurler being down. Knowing that they would be up and running later we just took off and rode everything else.

Our average wait times were only about 2 - 3 cycles which ain't bad at all. For the very first time today, as I rode Thunder Road, I had a thought that they should tear it down. Don't know why, but it happened. I don't want it torn down but I am very disappointed in the lack of attention it gets.

I got my first great ride on Hurler today. It was the fastest run of the season for me and no squealing.

I got to see the Magic of the Movies for the first time and I got to say it was pretty cool. Some think it is lame but for their first attempt at this I think it came out pretty good.

As for the ERT all I can say is I am glad my niece did not have a Platinum pass so we waited until about 10:30 to show up. Had to do the Shoney buffet you know so I really did not miss anything as she was not going to ride Borg.
