June 21st

It was definitely a good day at the park. I was also with a first timer so bear with me here. It was a bit on the crowded side but the weather was good. Got to the park around 10:15 and went to Blue Streak first. I thought it would be good for a first timer. A nice, easier coaster. We waited about 15-20 minutes and had a great ride. What awesome air time. BS is a true gem in the park. Next we went over to DT and waited about 15 for that too. Good ride, air conditioning was running, and I actually saw SOME theming throughout the ride...

Next we took Sky Ride over to the Iron Dragon midway. So the newb we were with didn't even want to go on ID. We had to like force him on it. We're like, if you can do Blue Streak, you can do Iron Dragon. So he went on and we waited maybe like 10 minutes. Next we took the train over to Frontier Town. We ate at The Roundup next to Maverick and for two water bottles, a chicken tender basket, and a burger basket, it costed us like $23.95. It was a stupid decision to get water bottles. Why we didn't get the free cups of ice water? Don't ask. We could of saved us 6 bucks. Anyways, I was a little disappointed with the size of the basket as in previous years they give you a much more generous portion of fries. The food was good and the service was good (surprisingly). After finishing the meal it ended up being a fine portion in my opinion I guess, because I was stuffed afterwards.

So next we rode Mine Ride. The newb didn't want to go so I rode alone while the other two waited behind. Good ride, a little jerky, and waited like 5-10 minutes. Next we all rode the Antique Cars. Waited about 5 minutes. Next I rode Thunder Canyon alone. Pretty much a walk on and oh yes, there was a dead fish in our boat! A small one, but hey they do pump that Lake Erie water into the ride.

Next I wanted to try out Mean Streak for the first time this year. I again, was a single rider. Line was at the bottom of the stairs, only because they were using two trains of course. I had high hopes this time around because people were cheering very loud after the ride. The crew was great, but the ride pretty much sucked. My bones were literally shaking throughout the ride. Ouch! Everyone else on my train seemed to enjoy though... Oh well.

Next we walked over to Paddlewheel because I wanted a nice relaxing ride after riding MS. Closed, I found that odd. So we went over to TTD and I of course rode alone. Waited for a little over an hour with a breakdown in between. Next we walked back over to Paddlewheel and it was running. Love this ride. Saw STR and it was well, down. We saw some workers while riding and yelled asking what they were doing. They were with some suit and they yelled back that they were working on the ride. God only knows, if the thing will ever open.

Next we did the Snoopy Ice Show. Before hand I got a pretzel at the gourmet pretzel stand. A cinnamon sugar one for $4.85 or something like that. The show was good. A must see for sure! Next I did Magnum (alone). 20 minute wait and as usual, so awesome! Next we walked over to MF and I again went alone. Millennium was about an hour wait. Awesome ride. Sat in the back and had my glasses in my shirt and they flew right out! That sucked. The lady in front of me lost hers too. We then ended the day with a great meal at Famous Dave's.

The end.:)
