10:00 am
We arrive at the park,(8th graders) school trip. It was fun all i have to say. We meet in the check in area where we know where to go at the designated time.
around 10:15 am
We run straight from the picnic area to the Raptor Que line. The line wuz moving farely quick for raptor.A half hour wait at the most for it. We got middle seating. It was great like i last expected back in August.
After Raptor we quickly dashed to Millennium Force which was a supposedly an hour and a half wait. We waited 2 hours and lemme tell you it was way worth the wait. Me and my friends starting doubting why we are waiting in this line which would probably be a regular normal coaster. We were wrong, great, great, great, coaster with great thrills! We headed up the ramp to the loading station. The station was rather well themed. We then stepped in 5-1 and 5-2, while on it and getting our restraints locked in. They told us to not put our hands up! What the heck! We all didn't care anyway and did put our hands up. Those seats were awesome! The white elevator cable thingy sled hooked on. We were blasted out of the station up the 45 degree hill up to 310 feet. I then start gettin teary eyed and realized why i am riding this, my friend Scott then said, something like watch out cuz we are fallin. We dropped moments later! Sudden rush, wind flapping all clothes, to the over banked turn to the tunnel which barely had clearing!!! Hands up high into the "Magnum" Hill! Just all airtime from our seats. Then the next turnarounds. Sudden rush! The next hill, around to the tunnel (camera not working) and into the nice airtime giving bunny hop. Last over banked turn into the smooth magnetic braking. All in all, great ride. Best coaster in my opinion. Me and my friends could not stop talkin bout it, even till now!!
We then go to eat at the place under the last sky ride (which the sky ride wuz closed). i got a burger, fries, and a mountain dew! Hmmm hmm good! We then head over to the check in area at around 1:30. We went and seemed to be too early so we went straight to Blue Streak. I don't remember this ride having so much AIRTIME! Every single hill we would be in airtime heaven. After that we then checked in. We went around to where Magnum was. but first Tony, Scott, TJ, and me were goin on Chaos which was great. Adam rode Troika Troika Troika i think 2 times while we rode Chaos. Great ride. We then headed to Magnum. Short line, about 15-30 minutes which is short from what i've seen!Awesome like i remembered it! Airtime, my lap bar and seat belt weren't securly fastened like others were. But still we were safe and had good airtime. There were camera crews too tapin Magnum? My friends and I got taped while headin into the station after the ride. Anyone know what this is for???
We then head for Gemini, pretty good like always. We lost, (blue)
We then headed to the back of the park for Mean Streak. basically a walk on except we stopped at the foot of the steps to go to the station. Seemed a lot smoother then when i went on it a year ago. Middle car we were in.
Scott and I then split up with Tony, Adam, and TJ. They went to Mine Ride while we went to go take some pictures and stuff of MF. We checked out the line and 2-3 hour wait! I wasn't gonna wait in line, only if we had plenty of time. We were very limited on time. So we headed to Mantis. The ride op doin the talkin was very animated my friend said and i agreed! We got middle car, didn't bother goin for Front. Great coaster like i remember also, except it hurt my legs a lot more than before! Still a good ride. We then headed to Iron Dragon which was a walk on! Pretty fun, but since i haven't ridden it in a while, i thought it got quite boring? We then saw Adam and the others in line for Mantis, we waited outside for them. Tony then got mad at us for goin on Mantis instead of MF but we explained the wait situation. We then headed to Iron Dragon again. fell asleep on the first lift though. Well sorta.Went around to Power Tower, tony and TJ went on the green tower while me and scott went on red. Adam went to ride corkscrew. After me and scott got off of red, tony and tj were still in line, we then went to Corkscrew. Basically a walk on. Good airtime after the second hill though. We then went to the Power Station store and i bought the black MF cap. I wanted the fitted one but that CP thing on the front is a lil' corny. $12 plus tax so i spent $14 on it.When i went to buy it, the register told me that N'Sync was gonna be at the park the next day. My friend bought the mug with cool colors. We then waited for TJ and Tony and met up with Adam eating a Lemon Chill. We then went to the Superstars Recording thing. By this time it was around 5:30. TJ and I went to sing for $20 for both of us. Lemme tell ya, WASTE OF MONEY! We sang "Bye Bye Bye" and it wasn't even N'Sync singing it! And they changed our voices around. Scott went to sing All the Small Things and they made him sound like Austin Powers! Not worth the money! We then headed for Disaster Transport which is an absolute disaster. Although the ride op (girl) was nicer then the others and might i say sorta cute. We then went to Blue Streak, rode it again. Then went to Calypso. By this time it was 6:45. We got off and headed for the car thingy near it. TJ, Scott, and I got outta the line and realized we might as well go on Blue Streak again. at that time, it was 7:00 pm and had to go back to our busses for the ride home. So we just left. All in all, this was one of the best CP trips i ever had. I can't wait to go back next month!!!

Yeah, someone told me that at 10:00am that day that they rode Magnum 15 times on and off, on and off in about 30-45minutes. That would have boosted your Magnum count.
The park needed bodies to ride Power Tower.

Yeah, when I was there and the park opened they didn't have full trains on the Magnum for about 45 minutes, and this was on a Saturday.
