Trip # 7 this season under my belt!
Left work at 3am Tuesday morning, came home, packed, got kids and left Reynoldsburg at 5:30am heading for the Po!nt (yes-NO sleep for me)
Got to park at 8:30am-gates open-mad dash for all to MF except us-we headed for Raptor. Weather was beautiful all day, park was extrememly crowded
hate peak season! No more 15-30 minute waits anymore! The kids and I rode everything we wanted to and at 6pm we met up with Hooper and hung with him until park closing (or should I say the unreal downpour) I got 2 more laps in on MF and my very 1st front car ride (thanks to someone who I can NOT thank enough for the front car ride or even mention his name-my HERO none the less!!!)
AWESOME! And we almost killed a bird! So for those of you keeping track-48 laps now for me!
My new tats made quite an impression on all who had the guts to ask me if they were real and even on those who decided to point and whisper instead. I was proud to display them-and needless to say my new MF tattoo made quite a hit with the MF ride ops!
The high point of my day was saying "hi" to one of my favorite CP buds (no names here either but I am sure he knows I am talking about him) and riding Iron Dragon and Wildcat with Hooper-he has a way of making even THEM seem too fun! The low point of my day was thanks to the rain didnt get another night ride on MF but did almost manage to get into a brawl with some jerk for blaming the ride ops for the thunderstorms and rain and eventual closesure of MF.
As usual one of the last to leave park at closing and one of the wettest too-the rain was unreal-
I even had my truck in 4x4 on way to hotel due to deep puddles.
Total rides:
Millennium Force: 2
Raptor: 1
Wildcat: 2
Iron Dragon: 2
Blue Streak: 1
Magnum: 1
Gemini: 1
I stayed up a total of 40 hours straight!! Am I nuts or what?? Despite the MF ordeal at night end the kids and I had a blast. So I have my CP fix for now, I'll be ok for like the next 2 weeks and then........................
well you all know where I will be AGAIN!
Thanks to -------- for the front car MF ride

LuvRaptor,it was nice meeting you! It's great to put faces with names. I still haven't met that many people from here.
We were all surprised by the crowds Tuesday! Wednesday & Thursday were much better.
Tuesday,waited no more than an hour for MF. Two rides at night. Lights are working right again. ride op said they had been working on them. Got off MF at 9:55pm and jumped right back in line. I don't know exactly how many laps. I think I finally hit 50. Got 7 on Tuesday and 3 Wed.
Thursday morning got 7-10 on MS. Actually enjoyed them! Most were front seat rides. A couple of laps on Magnum. Wanted to ride more,but my body was too tired after being in the park at 7am 3 days in a row! Left before 4pm.
