TR: PKI 5/30

[Reon]

One of the main things about yesterday was it was my first TRUE solo visit. Now that I have my liscence, my parents let me do whatever I wanted. No deadline as to when I came home, and with our old minivan, I could go wherever I wanted. So naturally my maiden voyage (though technically it was going to work on Saturday) was going to CFKI. First thing I did was go get my parking pass. Then off to the rides!

 

Normally I'd go straight to Vortex, but today I felt like taking on kiddyvill first. I was suprised that Scooby had NO line. So I rode it. 1170, but I came back later with 1550. Not the best, but still pretty good considering the last time I rode was back in '04. Next I started my coaster-thon with FoC and Avatar. I didnt wait more than 2 cycles on either, and got a good seat on Ava (back row, far side since you feel all the force and LIMs.)

 

Then I got to the good stuff. I passed by TR and went right to Beast. I dunno if someone retracked it or something, but OMG it retained its old roughness. I think it was my best Beast ride in years. Next, off to IJ, where I found a short line and no attendant directing traphic. So I claimed front row. Solid ride, and great airtime going up that hill after the overbank.

 

Then my favorite ride: VorteX. As usual, solid airtime, and delicious Arrow goodness. No other way to describe it. After the pinnacle of my trip, I continued my coaster rush, taking a front seat ride on FoF. Yet another great front seat ride. Then off to Racer. Unfortunately Recar wasn't running, so I missed that credit. Only coaster I didn't ride that day...

 

Continuing on, I found myself walking on to AE backseat. Unfortunately no air today. Next I rushed to Action Zone, and took a dip on Congo to cool off (it was HOT yesterday.) After the refreshing plunge, I continued to Face/Off, where I chanted "we are hang and bang" throughout the duration of the ride. After that, Drop Zone, which only had a 1-cyle wait. After that I had to face the terror of Sonny..nuf said after that.

 

At about 5, I had pretty much covered all the major attractions. So I went for a Coney and 3-way as I headed back for another round on Vortex and IJ. After that, and a walk-on to TRTR, I pretty much spent the rest of the night doing rerides...
