TR: Busch Gardens Europe August 28th

**MY FIRST TR**

 

 

I arrived at the park at about 9:30 and waited until they opened the Scotland gates at 9:45. Then I had to wait until they opened the Ireland gate at 10:00. I headed to Griffon and got the first train of the day. I rode Griffon four times (1 first row, 3 third row) with the queue (the whole day also) only in the first queue house and about a 15-20 minute wait. They ran two trains all day and got people in and out fast.

 

After Griffon, I got two rides on Alpengeist and it was walk on. I had the last row and the second row. I got one ride on DarKastle and one ride on Big Bad Wolf. BBW operations were slow today and the operators were forgetting to dispatch trains beacuse they were busy talking.

 

I got lunch at the Festhaus and got the fries and a piece of German Chocolate cake and it was goood.

 

We then headed to Ireland and saw the 1:00 Emerald Beat show. I got two rides on LNM after Emerald Beat and it was walk on. I hopped on the train to Italy where I got two rides on Apollo's Chariot (both last row) and the line got no further than the station. After AC, I got a ride on The Flying Machine and the operator was letting kids on that were well below 42 inches. We tried to say something, but he wouldn't listen.

 

I headed back over to Germany and hit The Autobahn. I went to check BBW, but it was still two trains running and the line was getting big so I decided not to go again. I headed over to Alpie (walk on) and got another ride on it in the front then a my first ride on LeScot log flume for the year. LeScoot had about a 20 minute wait so it wasn't too bad.

 

I got another ride on Griffon after a 10 minute wait and sat in the last row. While in line, I saw two girls cut and said something to the supervisor that was there and all they said was "sorry." My dad saw it too.

 

We then ate dinner at Grogan's Grille and got stuffed baked potatoes. We both got them with the sausage, onions, and cheese. It was good, but the sausage was a little tough, but still good.

 

I got another train ride over to Italy and got another ride on AC (last row). It was walk on.

 

We then called it a day and left around 6:15.

 

Pretty good day at BG and next time will be during Howl-O-Scream. Also, Wicked Woods looked like it was done. They had fake buildings and trees and all sorts of decorations up behind the England Skyride.

When I went to BGE, I was amazed by the coasters. All where in very good shape. Griffon was AWESOME, and so was Alpiengiest. AC was good...well, everyingthing was good.

 

Great Job! On the pics.
