Closing Day - TGIF Bar Style

A good day, long and tiring. Met up in TGIF's around 8ish with some GTTP'rs, Matt, Dave, Tony, Jo, Eric, (that guy is funny), Scott Short (ST), Ellex, Rockholds, etc....MR. Skyward..well he was in the park not at Fridays.

After that waited for the rain to stop, started the park tour. Hit most of the rides in the park and I was beat at around 11 am. So Matt Dave and I went to TGIF's bar on the beach and watched the browns loose. Back to the park on second wind. Met people said goodbye's and Hi's. Met some PR directors in the park said goodbye's. After that we were ready to call it a season, Matt, Dave and I left around 6:30pm. We had another meeting set up but were too tired to make it. And now I am typing this after my nice nap.

So many CP stories again this year, heck two are in my sig. TTD status "contaminates in the system". That happened once early in the year when I saw Sandor Kernacs in the park and started talking with him. I said he had a great ride, he said "Good that you have rode it, it had contaminates in the system".

"Hey werewolf lady" happened first friday of halloweekends when Megan was working in Werewolf canyon, and some little kid yelled out at her "Hey Werewolf lady!!!" We all were rolling.

But the best part was saying goodbye to MR. Skyward. As we were walking out none other then John walks by. I scream out, "By John, it's been a great year, have a good winter". And the 2003 CP season came to a end.

Edit: One thing to add, as you can see in the TR, I didn't really ride much at all. This closing day and CP now to me is more about the people you meet up there instead of just the rides. This 2003 year was to me more about meeting up with great friends, hanging out, and having a good time instead of being so focused on the rides. So there you have it.

What a day indeed. Yesterday had to be the longest day ever in the park. Not sure if it was the weather or the fact we were all bummed out because it was the last day or what. Chilling in the bar though with you and Dave was pretty relaxing. I passed out from exhaution as soon as I made it home.

Highlights of the day: Riding with my CP buds. Hooper, Dodgem Dave, Sparty, LuvRaptor, Eric, Tony, Ellex, Greg, Megan, Flora and Tim, UCSigep and his friends whom I can't remember their names. Chilling in the bar at TGIF's on the beach with Hooper and Dave for most of the afternoon. Watching the Browns play some of the most deplorable football ever. One of the Greatest Scrambler rides;) one of the funniest ever! Riding most of the coasters one last time and remembering one memorable summer.

This will go down as one of the greastest seasons ever so many things happened and so many new friends. What a great season. I could not have asked for anything better. Hope to see all of you real soon. Friday's anyone?

go home. :) Sorry I didn't make it to Magnum, guys. We rode TTD for one last time, and it took a little longer than desired. My friends had a great time just hanging out for a bit, we had hoped to hook back up, but it was just an odd day.

Have to say it was a sad day right before going home, I did get a chance to give Jo a hug and said goodbye for the season. That was the first time I've spent an entire weekend on Point, and it was well worth it! Plenty of rides, plenty of good times. I would have liked to have spent more time this whole season with my CP buds, I think that was a big part of my sadness yesterday. There's always the X-Mas party, and next season, but I just didn't get up as often as I wanted. Got my pass for next year, so I'll be ready.

It was good seeing everyone again and as Sky Kicker said, it was the best summer at the Point that I have ever experienced! I met so many new friends and got to know the old friends a whole lot better! I can not wait for next year and hopefully it will be better, but will be hard to top! Until next year everyone take care and have a great off season!
