It's become a tradition, that whenever CP gets a major new thrill ride, I just have to ride it first. Just as we waited three hours for Magnum, Mean Streak, Raptor, and then Mantis, I'll do the same again. No ands, ifs, or buts about it. Even with a season pass, I don't care how long I will wait to ride this awesome thing for the first time. It's like christening a ship if you know what I mean, kind of spiritual...and hecks, waiting in line with all those other anxious people is part of the fun...Socialize people!!! If you aren't feeling friendly and are still having trouble justifying the wait, work on your tan a little and eat some mist; it's worth it for such an occasion, and it will probably make you feel better knowing that people were staring at you playfully eating that mist from the mist machine. :)
