Just got back tonight from our trip. We have not been able to go for the past three years, so I haven't been to the park since before maxair was added. Anyways:
Checked into Breakers around 4:15 on Monday, and my dad and I went into the park using the passes that were included in the package. Not crowded at all; walked right on to wicked twister and mean streak. Rode a whole bunch of other stuff, then went back to the room around closing.
Spent Tuesday and Wednesday with the entire family in the park. Dad and I rode Maverick Tuesday morning early. Great ride! I had my doubts after watching the POV video online, but was very happy. We were able to get an exit pass for my sister, so we were able to ride it again later. More rides, weather was great, left park around closing. We were able to ride Millennium twice in a row early Wednesday, but had to wait longer the second time because they needed to remove one of the trains.
Won't list everything that we rode, but we pretty much did it all:
Things I noticed: Food was not only rediculously expensive, but the service was slow. I waited at least 5 minutes to get two bottles of water. A lot of things could use a new coat of paint. Personally, I think this off-season could be used for some "aesthetic touchups."
All the crews were working very well, and the lines moved quickly. Park wasn't crowded at all: We waited about 20 minutes for TTD around 7:00 Wednesday night.
All in all, very good trip. Very happy with things I haven't ridden since our last trip (maxair, skyhawk, maverick).
Fairport eh? I live in East Rochester about 5min from Fairport. Hell I just got back as well, might of seen you there. :)

101 on Magnum and counting...
Couple more things I forgot to mention:
The trims on Mean Streak; I really thought for a moment that we weren't going to make it too far without valleying. Can't remember them being this strong. Similar situation on Magnum; I never remember slowing down on the brakes going into the turn-around.
Finally, when did they install the video cameras on Raptor?
