^ I stayed out of the waterpark because it was in the low 70's and most of the people stayed there during the day. That was the reason that there were no lines all day for almost anything!

Thanks for the replies guys! Thunderhawk was my first SLC too. I rode it twice, both in the back row. The first ride was bad, but the next one was better. Shivering Timbers is best in the front, but in the back you will be jackhammered like there is no tomorrow. But I still found it fun!

On Independence Day my dad and I decided to head out to Michigan's Adventure for the first time, and we quickly found out how great of a park it is! Our on ride photo that the park emailed us! isn't that cool? Overall, this park is awesome for it's size. I can't wait to go back and I hope that you go there too! Corkscrew Thunderhawk Thunderhawk Wolverine Wildcat Thunderhawk Awesome Shivering Timbers Giant Gondola Wheel New #1 coaster! Corkscrew looks better in the sun! Thunderhawk Thunderhawk and Wolverine Wildcat Shivering Timbers No lines on the 4th of July? Holy Crap! Wolverine Wildcat loves the park index. More Corkscrew Corkscrew Wolverine Wildcat Corkscrew The awesome Dodgem building. Corkscrew This picture is bada$$. Mad Mouse You can see Shivering Timbers from almost anywhere i the park! There she was..... Thunderhawk didn't suck THAT bad...I kinda liked it! DUCK! Corkscrew, um, screwing corks? Corkscrew from the Zach's Zoomer station. Big Dipper was very painful for being so small! One of the weird banked turns on the Mad Mouse. Mad Mouse doing it's thing.... The other Arrow, Mad Mouse, was also a fun ride! Corkscrew was actually smooth with very little head banging!

Michigan's Adventure tomorrow morning! I can't wait!

It would also probably ruin the 3rd row "ejector seat" that I recently learned about. It is providing some of the greatest rides that I've experienced on any coaster!

I had some cool pictures from yesterday and previous visits, so I would like to share them here. Raging Bull Iron Wolf Yankee Clipper sign with V2 Raging Bull

I was also there yesterday, and I found out that the slightest breeze will freeze Hurricane Harbor! Raging Bull 4x (longest wait of the 4 was 31 minutes.) Tornado 1x (5min) Wahoo Racers 1x (no wait) Vortex 1x (no wait) Typhoon 1x (no wait) Castaway Creek 1x (no wait) Hurricane Bay 2x ( no wait) Yankee Clipper 1x (10 min) Scenic Railway 1x (5 min) Iron Wolf 1x (5 min) American Eagle Blue 2x (10 min) American Eagle Red 2x (10 min) Demon 1x (10 min) Roaring Rapids 1x (Walk On!) Viper 1x (5 min) I also used the computers in Cyber Cafe, and I was surprised to see that they were free! I really never waited that long compared to the amount of people there.

The trip to Great America in May was the first time I had meet anyone else from TPR. And I'll say that it was one of the most fun days that I've ever had riding roller coasters!

Great reports Mike! I'm looking forward to the Midwest reports! After seeing another reader do it, and also knowing that I was going to Kiddieland today, I am proud to say that I have found my second Big Mike Mikestery ticket! The card The back Thanks for the great reports Mike!

I like wrestling. Jeff Hardy is my favorite wrestler. So I got this avatar. I think it is awesome. That's all.

I like Revolution better during Fright Fest because it runs a faster program. On normal days I would take maXair over Revolution, but not during Fright Fest. To me Revolution is one of the better flats in the park, along with King Chaos. Come to think of it, we have a pretty bad collection of big flats.

The only bad thing is that the only way you can see the new train is if you are on the ride, and that means you cant take pictures of it. And that is just terrible.

^ They also re-did the logo on the front of the train. It really fits the theme of the ride more than the neon yellow train. That train just sticks out to much.

I've always liked Griffon because it is my name! My second favorite would have to be the Beast because it just says that the ride won't be "average", but it will be "something".

^ I remember that! Those guys really scared me!

AE Blue doesn't go backwards because of structural issues, not money.

It says on the Magic Mountain website that both Intamin and Schwarzkopf built Revolution. They also spelled Schwarzkopf wrong, they spelled it like this: Swartkoft!

AE was the first wooden coaster that they built, but I think that Revolution at Magic Mountain was their first overall.

AE Blue is my third favorite ride in the park. The roughness adds to the experience. I rode it at Coasters After Dark and the brakes before the final helix were almost off and we FLEW through the helix. But it just made the brake run a little more painful.

The driers are like giant toaster ovens with the orange lights. They are really warm inside, but my friend burnt himself touching the lamp, so don't touch the lamps! I heard that BB will have the highest capacity in the park, and I belive it.

^ I rode it 5 times in a row on opening weekend, and it was really cold. I rode it a few weeks later and the driers were so worth it! Maybe even better than the ride itself!

At least Wolf has a pop of air in the back row before the corkscrew. But it isn't a saving grace, it still needs some major work done or we could be experiencing some Deja Vu (hehe, see what I did there?)! EDIT: ^^ Didn't those signs say "Hold on to your ears!"?

Is the new coaster named The Sandman? (I love that song so much!)

The Safari Land Ticket has been found! I've even got pictures for proof! Checking the spot on the sign. Success! The back of the card. Driving away with the golden ticket!

Haunted Trails one is also MIA. They said that they empty the trash cans every night and nothing was there.
