Trip Report: Busch Gardens Europe - 6/22/07

[Kingbooba]

Since my birthday is tomorrow, my parents took me to BGE this morning for the Griffon breakfast special. I don't have photos, sorry.

 

Now, my parents can still ride eides. My Dad does coasters, my mom does not-very-intense flats.

 

TR:

 

We arrived at about 8:15. A few cars were already waiting near the place where you pay for parking. We waited about 40 mins before they let us through. Once throught the turnstiles, they made us wait by the tower in England. 10 or 15 mins passed and someone escorted to us Griffon. My mom went to eat her breakfast when we got to Griffon, while my dad and I went to ride. We got in line, and got right on the front. When we got to the top, and they held us over the edge, I was like "Crap." We ended up riding twice in the front, twice in the back (My back got soaked) and once in the middle, increasing my Griffon ride count to six.

 

But the day didn't stop yet.

 

I started my breakfast, and, to my surprise, RIGHT at 10:00 herds of people stampeded into Griffon's line. They started with only the big covered over-flow line before opening the rest of the line. But before they did that, the line was backed out, past the bridge in between the first drop and first immelman, and past the Gift Shop. Anyways...

 

Alpengeist was next. Again, only my dad and I rode it. We waited about five minutes (our car's que wasn't even full, either!) before getting on. I hated Alpengiest the first time I rode it, but loved it the second time! The g's on the Cobra Roll killed me though. Curse of DarKastle was next. This time both my mom and dad, rode with me. We got right on it. My mom didn't like it a whole lot, she said it gave her a headache.

 

Anyway, I rode th Waveswinger by myself next. I only waited about 3 minutes. My dad and I then rode Big Bad Wolf- walk-on. Did they change the restraints or something, because they felt different. Anyways, I was met with a great shock when we got to Da Vinci's Garden- Da Vinci's Cradle was actually operating! I did it by myself, and waited 5 minutes. Great airtime!

 

Next was Apollo's Chariot. Shocker (seriously)- walk-on for every seat except the front. This was great but not as great as before. My mom and I then rode the Turkish Delight. 5 minute wait and it was worth it. Anyway, last was Loch Ness with my dad. Walk-on. Rough, but still good. After that, we came home.
