I've been reading posts here for a while in preparation for my first trip, but haven't ever written anything myself. I'd been waiting over a year to go to CP (I live more than 600 miles away), before I went, so was pretty psyched. It was very hot, so I went in 3 nights and only 1 day (we stayed at the Breakers.)
Observations: MF-was running 3 trains the whole time but my waits were still 1h5 to 1h20 each of the 4 times I rode. (3 night rides) Still, totally worth it. This thing
totally blew me away. I was expecting greatness, and I got way more. I rode 5-2, 8-1, 7-2, and 5-1. No front, though
Magnum- enthusiastic ops, but they stapled me terribly, so air (especially in ejector seat) was painful. Waited about 20minutes.
Raptor- Headbanger! I hate to say it, but Montu was way better. Does anyone know if this was running faster or something?
Gemini- This was a surprise for me. Really fun, and great air, though after I rode MF I felt like it was in slow motion, very funny. No wait
Iron Dragon- Better than I expected
I also rode Power Tower, BLue streak, DT, Woodstock Express, and CCMT. Was very disappointed I didnt ride MS. No one would go with me, and I never got to it.
This was a great trip, thanks to everyone who posted something that gave me advice on the park!
