People vote for their local coaster.

Hey guys I thought I would post this here instead of creating a new thread.

 

I'll be in Chicago next week and I was wondering how the crowds are at the park during the week. What wait times can I expect to see?

[mcjaco]

What days?

[coasterdude5]

Most likely Wednesday and maybe Thursday or Friday.

[Cameron]

Looking forward to Tuesday 4th

[Jojo19799]

I should be there. I'm waiting for my vacation day to be approved, since I'm a doofus and filled out the wrong day to begin with.

 

I'm trying to talk my friend Katie into going too. She's not a huge fan of coasters, but she's been on Viper, Whizzer and Demon. She's willing to give Bull a try.

[dandaman]

Damn you all! *shakes fist*

[Jojo19799]

Damn you all! *shakes fist*

 

This is something only an old man would say.

 

BTW, you'll be there in spirit. We'll do Batman in the rear for you.

[dandaman]

I want pictures of this event! (Well, not on-ride, but... you know.)

[Jojo19799]

^I'll try to take more than two pictures. I'll set a personal goal of 3, but I should take more.

[mcjaco]

It'll be much better. I'll be there this time!

[CorkscrewFoley]

Dan, you're an old fart dude, wait 'til you get into your thirties, then you'll feel ancient. lol!

 

You guys are quite lucky, I have been wanting to SFGrAm for ages.

 

I know I don't have to ask for Whizzer pics though.

[Jojo19799]

It'll be much better. I'll be there this time!

 

Yes because you make everything better.

 

Dan, you're an old fart dude, wait 'til you get into your thirties, then you'll feel ancient. lol!

 

I'm not quite 30 yet, but I've been feeling ancient for about 3 years now.

[CorkscrewFoley]

I freaked out about turning 30, seeing as I hadn't acheived what I wanted, but when 30 came, I was like...what, that's it?

[Cameron]

I've loved my 30s. In fact I can pretty much say that each decade has been significantly better than the previous. Well ok, 10-20 (actually 13-18) kind of sucked .. But 30s have been vastly better than 20s.

 

Cameron.

[Jojo19799]

My friend (who just turned 25) tells me that 30 is the new 20. I hope she feels the same in the next 5 years.

 

There is one thing I did learn from turning "old". I can't do all the things I used to do when I was 20, like ride IW 15 times in a row.

[traincrossin]

Well ok, 10-20 (actually 13-18) kind of sucked

Thanks

 

If I can get a ride or car I might be able to come to the park on the 4th.

[dandaman]

I can't do it TWICE in a row NOW!

In this case it's Iron Wolf that has aged poorly, not you. I'm actually in significantly better shape now than I was even as a teenager, so don't worry about it

 

Cameron.

[mcjaco]

You guys missed the fact that Dan let us know he can do "it" twice in a row now.

[dandaman]

^So did I... I almost always catch those, let alone on my own typing! I'm losing my touch!

 

Dan "Thrice if I take a week off?" Smith

[Jojo19799]

^I did miss that, because all I saw was this.

 

I can't do it TWICE in a row NOW!

[mcjaco]

I never learned how to read.

[coasterdude5]

Hey I'll be at the park tomorrow and tweeting. If you're interested in that type of stuff: http://www.coaster101.com/2009/07/28/tweeting-on-location-great-america/ or

 

I'm going tomorrow and Friday so hopefully I'll get some good pictures and video!
