Wicked Twister and Top Thrill Dragster were closed, WT due to wind and TTD due to "mechanical" problems. So we rode Demon Drop and Disaster Transport 2 times each and headed over to Raptor. We got a freeway and decided to wait to use it instead of waiting in line, and headed over to the Millennium Force/Mantis area and got a freeway for Mantis (Millennium Force was out). So we once again waited again until the freeway was useful.
We decided to ride some family oriented roller coasters first, Iron Dragon and WildCat to start, then headed to corkscrew afterward. It was around noon now, and we stopped at Patio Pizza for some lunch and people watching.
Top Thrill Dragster was still closed, and since it was nearby, we went to the Blue Streak and waited 15 minutes for the back seat, the air time was great! Now it was time to use our freeway for Raptor, so we got front seat, and that was great!
After our flight we went over the ride the Gemini and ventured through Frontier Land, Mean Streak was there and waiting. Frontier Trail was also nice, we walked around in the shade and enjoyed listening to the "blacksmiths". It was now pressing 2:00 and we decided to use our Mantis Freeway then, front seat on that, probably one of the best seats for that ride.
Right after we got off of Mantis, we walked over to Top Thrill Dragster, no luck, so we rode Corkscrew again, and when we got off it was open! We rushed into line and ended up waiting 2 hours, it would have been a lot less, but it had to go down for maintainance. We got 2nd to front seat and it was my first ever launch, as well as my friends first time to the point, one word describes it all, WOW! That view is amazing, but then, you are on the ground again, it was a lot of fun!
After that we feeled that we needed a break, so left the point to go back to the hotel for a short time. We swam and enjoyed the hot tub...ate some dinner, and got ready to go back to CP.
Now it was a mad rush for the rides. We did all of the following in the final 2 hours..
5 power tower drops n' shots, Front Seat Magnum, Front seat Millennium Force (Night Ride was cool!), Front Seat Raptor again, and thats all, it was time to leave. On our way out it was about 10:30 and we bought all of these cool flashing lights and blinking things, and enjoyed the hotels hot tub and pool for a little while longer, then went to sleep. Today we headed home at about 11 after some more swimming, and got back here about 1:30 pm eastern time.
My friends and I had a great time. I am going again in 2 weeks. I hope to get launched a few more times!
