Twist-N-Shout at Fun-Land It had been awhile since I did a little whoring One of the best coasters under 10 feet I've ever been on.

Aww nuts... I was thinking about finally making my first trip here next year. Hopefully it's still operating in '23, with most of the attractions still running.

I went to Dutch Wonderland a few years ago by myself. As a solo white guy in his 40s, I felt positive park security was going to approach me and ask that I leave immediately. Most uncomfortable I've ever been "credit whoring"

Thanks! I was so dejected that day I was in no mood to follow up on here. I actually tried again a month ago but, you know, new launch coasters and their maintenance issues.

They're building this park in a major metro area that has probably craved a decent theme/amusement park for decades. They build this in Vegas and it's just another tourist trap.

So this day actually turned out pretty disappointing. I reached the park that Friday, March 4, got in line for the back for Pantheon, and... got denied Long story short, I've dropped nearly 30 pounds since and got on last night Fun ride but only got one ride in. Looking forward to many more!

I'm heading to Busch Gardens tomorrow for Pantheon. Any other Platinum holders going?

Intimidator 305 on June 5. (As seen in the KD thread )

I'm heading to the park tomorrow after work for a few hours to meet up with my sister and nieces. Will be interesting to see what's running.

I rode it on June 5. So yes.

^Yep! Pretty damn crowded today. Got my pass and headed to Twisted Timbers and the line was pretty long. Didn't want to wait and then be denied so I headed over to I305 for a back row ride. Longest wait I've had on I305 in awhile. Went back over to the test seat and the guy out front assisted and he couldn't get light to go green. So now I'm on my way to the gym.

I'm headed to the park tomorrow to process my season pass and get a few rides in on Intimidator 305 and Twisted Timbers. Used my pass a bunch in 2019 at other Cedar Fair parks but I actually don't think I ever made it up to KD. I'm a bad home park attender.

Happy to announce that I made a reservation for July 18 and will be returning for a long overdue trip back to this park. I haven't been since 2007 so I'm obviously stoked for all the new editions, especially Flying Cobras. Also looking forward to a visit to Myrtle Beach the day before to ride Swamp Fox and do a mini whore tour.

Batman the Ride at SFOT earlier today.

Crowds were pretty steady Friday night. They were running 2 trains on most of the popular coasters. I rode Titan, Shockwave, Mr Freeze, Batman, and Judge Roy Scream. Tried to ride NTAG but got denied. Got green on the test seat but the ride ops couldn't get the restraint down. Bummer. It was raining today but that didn't stop the crowds. As far as NTAG, I had changed my wardrobe to something less constraining-- gym shorts and flip flops and still got denied on NTAG. I'm going to have to a skinny revenge tour of SFOT, SDC (Outlaw Run), and SFSTL (Batman) next year! That said... This afternoon I went to a great brisket place in downtown Dallas-- Terry Black's BBQ. Highly recommended. Magic Springs did kind of suck, btw. I went there on Saturday and they weren't running Arkansas Twister and X-Coaster. Gauntlet may have shot to the top for my least favorite SLC. Have a nice bruise. Ops kind of sucked as well. Only one train and they weren't trying very hard to send full trains out. Frontier City was better. Nice little park with some fun rides. Really enjoyed Wildcat, Diamondback, and Silver Bullet. Despite some setbacks and disappointments, overall, I had a fun trip. Edit to add: Also rode Joker Friday night. Only 9 new credits on this trip but my goal of hitting 400 this year is within reach. Currently at 372. I'm going to try to hit a few more of these less popular parks this summer but also return to a couple I haven't been to since the late 2000s like Carowinds and Six Flags Over Georgia.
