So today I had my graduation practice this morning and afterwards i decided to spend the day at the park. I arrived around 11 am and went over to see what was up with Chiller. I saw some people hanging out by Batman's loading track and I went on Chiller. Luckily a single rider was up front so I got on the front as well. Launch was great and humps are......humpish. Batman still doesn't look ready to open.

 

After that I decided to head over to Toro. I got on back row and it was a great ride, though it does feel a little bumpy through the turnaround. The lift being slowed down doesn't take away from the ride that much. I can live with it. It adds so much more suspense to that first drop that I kinda like it.

 

From Toro I went over to to see what was up with Kingda Ka. The line was really long because it was only running 2 trains! Must be staffing because that side of the station is terrible. I got on front row of CP Beat it and it was shaky and rough. CP Beat It now ties for last with Gak among my favorite Ka trains. (Schoolbus #1)

 

From Ka I went back over to Nitro and got on 4th row. The line was back into the 2nd row of switchbacks and the A train was sitting in the shed. The trims were on today and for some reason Nitro felt a little slower going over the hills. Ive been on it with trims before but they've never slowed it down that much. Not one of my best rides ever.

 

After Nitro i went over to get some food at Johnny Rockets. Cost me a pretty penny it did. But it was good food. I went afterwards to see my brothers friend who works as one of the characters by the fountain. She was good but she was dying in that suit.

 

From there I went over to Medusa and there was an open spot in the front, sweet! Medusa is a great ride but to get the full experience the front is where it's at. I looked at the line and was glad I didn't have to be in it. If any park should get Single Rider lines, it should be GAdv because even for a Monday lines were redonkulous.

 

I went over the bridge to Toro and got on Back row again. I watched a guy get into an argument about how his son was tall enough to ride when clearly he wasn't. Great parenting, put your kid's safety at risk, especially on Toro. I don't want this ride to get shut down because some stupid dad let his small son go on and get thrown from the seat. <_<

 

From there I went over to Ka again. I looked at Gak and shuddered at it's roughness. So I went back to CP Beat It. They needed a single Rider for the 7th row so i raised my hand. I wish I hadn't. It was so shaky and rough I felt like I had just had a concussion when I got off of it. I looked at Schoolbus and Blueberry and just sighed. I have officially disowned the right side of the station.

 

I got off and went down to the boardwalk. Twister had no line so I decided to go on it and have my special area crushed by the restraints. I saw that GASM was a walk on so I decided to do it just for the hell of it. I went front row on the blue train (needs painting) and got my head bashed around pretty good. I got off and looked at Superman and just laughed at how long the line was. I didn't bother going on.

 

I decided to go over to Chiller but I found it broken down. So I headed over to MTWE and get soaked. But then Chiller launched into a test run. I walked back over and waited for it to open. After 10 minutes and another test run, it was opened back up. I got in line for front row and then the girl running it said it was broken down again. I heard something about the train not being aligned and they were flipping through papers and calling mechanics in. It did a successful test run and it was opened again. I'm getting used to Robin now, I want to go on Batman soon I hope.

 

So after that I was pretty bored and didn't feel like walking to another coaster so I decided to leave. It was a good day overall, nothing really bugged me about it. I'm probably going to go again on Saturday.

Last year when I rode GASM it was actually decently smooth. Gotta love Arrow Megaloopers.
