I can honestly say that I had never ridden so much on a weekend! Let alone a 3-day holiday weekend!!
I wish I had taken my tally counter! LOL. Saturday I managed 48 rides on Maggie. That was even taking time out to ride several other rides including MF(which was about 45-50 min). I was riding with Dan's brother,Brain(I mean Brian,you have to see his ID for this!)
No Mantis rides yet this year. I haven't seen a 3-train operation yet. Course,I didn't pass it Sunday or Monday.
Had a couple of Raptor rides. Running great as usual!
Blue Streak a few. Can't wait to hear people's expressions during Coastermania! I think it will move back up the Polls this year.
MF- first ride of season on Saturday. 45-50 minutes. Front seat,back car. It was about 1pm when going on. It was not running well at all. Very dissapointed! I wish they could develope a new polyurethane for the wheels. Those nylons, I think, create much vibration. The ride just doesn't do anything to me anymore.
Sat & Sun I was pretty much glued to Maggie!! Our beloved MagnumDan was seen very little there. You turning soft on us,Dan! ;)
My 3-day total on Maggie was approx 160-170 rides.
Give or take a few! It could have been way more. But I wasn't feeling well most of day and took a 1 1/2 hr break and took a nap in car. I was completely refreshed after that and was back riding in spirit rest of night!
Saturday Morning was wild riding in rain! Couldn't believe they were running many coasters! It was raining pretty good! I said the only coaster not running was probably DT! LOL
I got special treats with Maggie Sat morning and night! Andy's the MAN!!! ;)
To everyone that didn't make it this weekend, you missed a hell of a weekend!!
