I got to the park about 5:00pm, walked to the gate, and saw the sign saying MF was closed. Now i figured that it was closed due to high winds, but when I got over there to inspect the situation for myself, I saw the blue train, stuck on the return camelback from the island, now here's the kicker, it wa stuck 1/2 way up the hill, not quite sure how that happened, but I think it has something to do with the wheels. Next I headed over to MS, had a great ride on it, went to Gemini, got up to the platform, and they annoucned that the blue train was done for the night, I guess they were having some trouble with the restraints releasing. but anyways, I haven't ridden that ride in about 3 years now, and boy, did I forget what the hell I was missin!! I was amazed, I truely didn't remember the ride being like that, but I guess I never paid attention. Next I headed over to the "Construction Site" took a look around, talked to "Amber" @ the paddlewheel excursions about MF, and PKI, and some other coaster stuff. Took a ride on Maggie, always a great one, still having trouble with the new dispatch system & the restraints still hanging up. Headed over to PT:SS that was good, sat next to andrew" from experiencethepoint.com, but the belts on it were sticking a little too.
Next I headed over to my Baby DT! Took 2 laps on her, they took down the "HGIH VOLTAGE" sign, the ride ops got a kick out of that, jyst because of the fact that I noticed it! Anyways, headed over to raptor (which had just started running about 45 min. prior because of weather) Kicked the Sky, then got some fries, and as I got about 1/2 way to my car, I felt for my Keys, AND THEY WERN'T THERE!! I FREAKED!!! I walked up to the CP Police, and waited till about 9:15 till the Magnum crew finally brought all their stuff in. Here's the funny thing, ON THE EXACT SAME DAY LAST YEAR!!! I lost my wallet on Maggie, luckily it was found also! I AM SOOOOO LUCKY!! Anyways had a great couple of hours, and I will be there early Saturday AM to get some rides on MF!!! SEE YA'LL THERE!!!!

First thing this morning it was at the bottom of the hill..
Just like they did when the lift cable snapped. They had to ratchet the red train over.
