I had a really bad day at Santa Cruz 2 days ago.
Really, it's because they didn't let me go in the front of the Giant Dipper. Usually, when you get to the person that lets you go on the ride right before you go on the coaster, I ask the person to wait there to go in the front for the next ride, it always works. Though, this time I wasn't allowed to wait for the front. So, I had to go in a seat in the middle, since the seats before were used up, and I had a really rough ride, much, much worse than Grizzly at Great America. After that, I was really mad because I paid money to go on it. Though, after riding Double Shot for my first time, it replaced Giant Dipper as my favorite ride. Though, beware Giant Dipper might be close to the roughness to Mean Streak (I've never ridden Mean Streak, but I'm basing this off the reviews). I even leaned forward on Giant Dipper, and that just made it worse.
I'm trying not to be negative though it just was that bad.
