This Sunday Sunday Sunday, 9/23.

I got there around 1 and to my glee I found a near empty parking lot. I started with a Raptor walk on and proceeded to the big blue thing. The line at the most would be just down and off the ramp and sometimes it would be well up by unload. :) I got 12 laps in there and headed to Magnum.

I rode that 11 times. My favorite seat was devil train, 4-3 right because it still sits up a little because of a bad axle or something of that nature. So its just like stadium seating :). I also could rock than car more than usual like an off balance table. Just another reason why Magnum has so much character and every ride seems different unlike the big blue one.

After that I hit Mean Streak, but it wasn't racing so I went onto Mine Ride. I rode in the front and had the whole train to myself :) I was chanting to myself "Rollback Rollback!" as the train slowly climbed the hill before the final helix. I think it slowed to a speed of about 2 MPH when the last car made it up. I if would have sat in the back and hired Arron Raditz to make a big gust of wind I would have increased my chances. Oh well.

Back to the big blue one for 5 more twilight rides. I was getting ready for second last train of the night when an early nice special access man was sitting in the front seat. So I hopped in. I have not ridden up there since the new assigned seating policy and I forgot how fun it was. I leaned over the front of the car the whole way. Fun stuff. The only thing was there was no fog and lights were on in the tunnel and on the island.

I hope Sundays are always this not crowded.

Very funny, you know I have inventory on Saturdays.  I just had mine the weekend before.  My gross profit is up. :)

MF: 180

Magnum, Raptor and MF were running at full capacity too which really surprised me. Having 4 people in a magnum train was not an uncommon thing. (sorry Dan :)_

I got six laps in the Force. I was only there for 3 hours. The thing that sucks for me is Fridays and Sundays the park is almost empty. But, I always seem to have something going on those days. But, I still find time to go.

I hope Fridays and Sundays are alwasys that not so busy!

Raptor started running two trains at some point before six o'clock, by the way. :oP

Mine Ride was down to one.

Heh, Raptor went down to 2 trains and was *still* a walk on! Glad I decided to finally go back today. Got plenty of rides in, spent a lot of time in Peanuts Playground (I got to ride the train!!), rode MF with a car full of 15 year olds... was a good time.

Oh yeah got the chance to go through the new haunted attraction with Natalie at the end of the day. Didn't think it was anything really spectacular. Seemed too light inside!

Didn't see the spyboat today ;o)

THRUST AIR!

Taking one of Raptor later would make sense.

Mine Ride was down to one, even when I rode by myself! They should have went down to one car. :)

Man the park was great today! I can't believe how much fun my brother and I had. I do have to admit one thing after doing a mini-marathon on Millenium Force during the last 2 hours, Magnum is just too rough for me. Guess I must be a wimp, but after 9 rides on the Force today, that monster is still my number one favorite.
 It was cool to see CoasterJammin, and I wondered if that was you working the Force, Nat. I had thought you went back to school. Dernit, I shoulda said hi. Oh well, I'm sure you saw me. Heck, my brother and I were the only 2 long hairs in the park! LOL
 Forgot to ride the Tilt-a-Whirl today though.   It's the only spin and puke ride that I like. Oh I did get to ride Ocean Motion for that guy's only tickly feeling that's so cool. hehe

Oh forgot to add one thing, we actually did the park logically instead of running willy-nilly to whatever ride we fancied. What a relief!  Although the last mad dash down the MF exit and back to the enterance to find it closed just about wiped me out! LOL
