My fiancée and I spent July 29th and 30th and the park, had a fantastic time. Left early Tuesday morning to get to Breakers. Got there at about 8:00 am and did the pre-register thing. Got our resort card for ERT and something to eat than off to the gate by Wicked Twister we went. When we got there we found out that Dragster was going to be open for Early admission.
When the gates opened I ran to Dragster Whitney didn't want to ride it so she walked to the bleachers. There were maybe 20 people in front of me. They opened the queue, got to the platform and waited in line for the front seat. About ten minutes of waiting and I was strapped in the train for my first launch on TTD. Saw the train in front of us take off, than it was our turn to go. Get to the launch, engine sounds, see the brakes drop and off we go. OH MY GOD!! What a way to start the day. Go to the photo booth and get my picture. Total wait time was about 20-30 minutes.
After that we spent the day doing all of the coasters and a number of thrill rides. We had a freeway stamp for Raptor for ten to eleven. Got there about ten minutes early, they let us go so we got off the ride in time to watch the Summer Spectacular. After that we went to MF to get a ride on that, MF at night was awesome. End of Day one.
Day Two. We went to the Wicked Twister gate again, the workers told us that Mantis and MF were going to be open. We decided that we would do Mantis and get a freeway for MF. Get to Mantis to find out that it was closed. The workers were wrong it was MF and Magnum that were open. So we went over to MF, only a 15-minute wait. After that we went to Magnum for a walk on ride there.
Went back to our room and packed out stuff. After that we went back into the park and did the coasters and thrill rides. Dragster was down most of the day, but there were people waiting outside the queue all day. It finally opened around 4 or so, Whitney and I had a freeway stamp for Raptor and 5-6 so I didn’t get in line. After Raptor we did Paddlewheel excursion, after we got off that we went by Dragster, 3-hour wait. Whitney looked at me and said she didn't want to do anymore coasters and insisted that I go on Dragster again. So I gave her the car keys so she could get her book to read while sitting in the bleachers.
There was only one breakdown for about 15 minutes, two rollbacks that took about 10 minutes to reset.
About 9-9:30 I got on for my second ride on TTD. Since I had already done front row I just picked the shortest line. We crept over the top giving me a couple seconds to look around. WOW what a view.
Went and met back up with Whitney, she asked if would be ok if we left, since we had been there for two days and did everything that was fine with me. Got a couple of souvenirs and we left the park.
We had a great trip. Couple things that we learned, freeway passes are a wonderful thing, and so is staying at the resort and getting in early.
