Stopped at the park from 7pm till close. This was our second time ever at the park, our first being RV2's opening day. Decided to come again for a few hours to do some riding.

 

First up was Steel Dragon. Running well, one train wait. Always fun!

 

Rode the drop tower next which is probably our favorite drop tower. Reminds us of the old gen-1 Intamin towers mixed with the new S&S and gyro drop's. It also is a bit more scary because it feels like a carnival type ride making creaking noises and other uneasy sounds. Can't beat the amazing views from the top over the lake!

 

Next we made it back to RV2. Wait was down the ramp so it took about fifteen minutes. Got our seat in 6-2 and our ride began. Line stayed about the same all night, 10-15mins.

 

The ride DEFINITELY is running faster then opening day (of course, with break-in). However, after the first hop over the road up until that second hill has gotten pretty brutal. We thought it may of just been our seat, but it was rough in 1-1, 1-2, 3-2, 6-1, and what we rode first, 6-2. We rode it five times all together and will say the ride is just INSANE at night. Best night rides I have ever had in a long time. Pitch black and just out of control. The second half has gotten much faster and no longer feels out of place. Excellent air all over the place and for sure moved up in my rankings since opening day, even with that right-left-right combo getting as bad as it has gotten! Still an amazing ride, I just hope they can keep up with the tracking.

 

All in all we basically bounced from RV2 to Steel Dragon and the Drop tower. Walking out of the park at 9:55 though we hit up one last ride on the junior woodie, the Comet*?

 

Great day at the park and had an excellent time on RV2. The night rides are just insane and worth the drive or time to stay past dusk to ride it. Amazing!
