My friend and I arrived at BGE, on Sunday, around 1pm. We left about 4:30 because it was getting so crowded! In some areas, you could barely walk. We rode Apollo twice in the back and it was orgasmic. Once on Alpengeist. Both brakes were on, but it still gave a killer wild ride. And I rode Darkastle for the first time. I was super impressed. The part where they imitate a big drop was quite effective. I wanted to ride Big Bad Wolf but the line was outrageous.
It was my first time to BGE since '03, and I was really impressed. I can't wait to go back next year on a quieter day (and I plan to, since I purchased a Platinum Pass. Bling! )
