Thursday August 20th.

This was a very short trip becasue I had to meet a family member at the metropark off Perkins road to take care of something for my kids so it was oneof those we'll already be there sort of things. Raptorwas down when we gotthere, don't know why. Pretty much we just got in a couple runs on Blue Streak and a ride on Big Wheel and Rougarou before sitting for my son to watch Luninosity for What's probably the last time this year. The bugs were really bad. Beyond what we normally complain about they were just horrible just walking down the midway was a challenge. My kids had the bright idea to ride Rougarou front car of course. When we were on the way back to the front of the park we could hear Raptor running and there werepeople on it but the line was closed. Someone asked about ride night and we were told they were substituting Millenium Force which works for me. When we got there it was walk on and stayed that way with the gate open for the entire hour. I have no clue how many times we rode. My older son said 15 but I wasn't counting. My younger son was keeping count of how many bugs he had eaten. I wasn't keeping track of anything. I just kept riding until they sent us home.I just know that my hair is super matted up and I'm covered in bug guts and I don't care :) This was the first time we've ever managed to stay for a ride night so it was the first time I've ever walked the park with delivery trucks driving around us and the sound of crickets. Overall a pretty full evening for not arriving until almost 8pm. I think I may have seen a fellow Pointbuzzer at Millenium but we kept ending up on opposite trains so I never had the chance to ask.

I was there, was it me that you saw? And Shawn Meyer was also there.

Raptor was down due to high winds. I ended up with 8 rides on MF for the ERT. And the bugs were really bad. On one of my rides, I got front seat and had to keep my mouth and eyes closed. I got pelted.

If you were wearing a Maverick T it was you. I had the blue school house rock t-shirt and two teen boys with me.

I was wearing a Maverick T-Shirt! I don't remember seeing you. Wish you would've been able to say hi.
