a little bit of bug splatter

I got my 3rd and 4th ride on TTD yesterday (Sunday) and my 4th I decided to wait for the front seat... great ride ops told me to expect a little bit of bug splatter. Okay, I think to myself I can handle this, ya right, we must've creamed 2000+ bugs each, in addition, I had to keep my eyes closed, because of my contacts. Glad to know about that little bit of bug splatter... WOW! I was still picking the bugs off me when I got home, 3 hours later :)

I went to CP Saturday, and got a ride on Dragster front seat. I wear contacts but usually not to the Park, but I rode Front seat anyways. I kept my eyes open, although I couldnt see anything, My contacts slid to the sides of my eyes and made my vision incredibly blurry. It was during the day...so no bugs :) I rode MF at dusk and in the front seat it felt like it was raining there were sooo many bugs... It sucked...alot.

I didn't lose my contacts on either of the rides though! :) They came back to the origional position with a few blinks ;)

"C'mon, get off the rails guys, listen to the guy with the Disaster Transport uniform on!"

I never understood why they put the midway lights so close to dragsters launch track.. it just brings more bugs..

------------------
TTD rides =15
Time spent waiting for those rides= 39 hours.

instead of jsut having a smokemachine at the launch, they should have an insect fogger

Hey I know how you feel too, last summer I had a bad experience witht he bugs on Millennium Force riding the front seat on one of the last rides of the night and let me tell you when I got back to my room in breakers the look on my parents face was priceless as well as my shirt and face because I had bugs all over me.

This year I can't say I had any bugs get me while riding TTD at night while riding in the front seat , I was pretty surprised.

I rode in the front seat of Dragster first thing in the morning at the end of July. My shirt had between 20 and 30 bugs on it. I wear contacts, so I wore my sunglasses on the ride to protect them from the wind. Boy am I glad that I did. There were about 5 or so bugs on each lens. If the wind didn't do anything to my contacts I am sure that the bugs would have. :)
