7/18- Al Snow And Ice Cream

So I just got home from a great day at the point. Me and my girlfriend got the the point about 1 and hit Magnum first.(number 27 this year). Then after that we checked Dragster which was down (and ended up being down almost the whole day).

We decided it was time for a non-coaster ride for once so we headed on up to Chaos. I love the way it feels like your going to fall into the ground. We hit the Space Spiral while we were up there, its great to see the park from that view. I really wish I woulda had my camera with me, but I'm going again tommorrow so I'll get a picture or seven then.

I was getting anxious for a coaster again so we went and rode Millennium Force. It wasnt my best ride, a little rough and gave me a slight headache. I also noticed the train making a bad rattling noise through the whole ride. I didnt think that was to normal but it was still an ok ride.

After the hour wait with the sun beating down and a rough ride it was time for a nice cool sit down time, so where other then Snoopy Rocks On Ice. I love when he comes out as elvis, its a good show but looked just like the one from last year, however I cant remember completely.

It had turned about 6 o clock so we were getting hungry and decided to get some Ice Cream from the front of the park by the sky ride. I believe it is called Ice Cream Parlor if I can remember correctly. I love how big the scoops are they give you and it was certainly worth the money as it is very good ice cream.

To finish out the trip we decided to go and just ride Magnum a couple times. We got in line and I looked over and saw noneother then WWE superstar Al Snow. I dont watch wrestling anymore but as a young lad I knew who he was. Once we got in the station I went up and shook his hand and he ended up riding the same train as me. He was in the center of the train however as I was back in my favorite seat (6-1).

That was basically the whole trip. Dragster was down almost the whole day. It may have stayed up for about an hour but that was it. I got my Magnum total up to 30 for this year now. Its nothing to spectacular, but it is pretty good for me.

I was there and saw Al Snow as well. Dragster was open for about an hour and i got in line for it and 4 hours later they kicked everyone out and they gave us front of the line passes. It sounds like you had alot of fun though.
