After a week in frustration and calling Radio stations like
99.7 the Blitz which I lost in. My teacher had Longaberger Day tickets which
she was not going to use. I got my hands on gold. We headed for America's
Roller Coaster around 7:15 A.M. hoping to leave around 6:45 A.M. Park opened
at 10:00 A.M. and Rides opened around 11:00 PM. After several detours we got
there at approximately 9:45 A.M.
My plan was to ride Gemini first and be the first seat,
first person for the day. I waited till 11:05 for the ride to open. There was
a rumor going around that a few days before the blue train vallied. Well they
were not running it. I asked the line attendant and he gave me a real long
look and said no. He was probably told to say that. When they opened the Que I
was first to walk to the station and a trash can is blocking it. They said go
back and a employee walks us back the other way up and asked if we moved the
trash can, we said no. I mean come on, why we move a trash can??? We had to
merge with other guest to get up the station. I end up being on the 5th Train.
It really burned me up. I could say a lot of bad words about it. However I did
not let it ruin my day with the next six coasters I rode.
Gemini was a great ride for the first of the day with
some awesome airtime. Once the ride seems to be boring and getting over it
brings you over to a grand finale which is a very intense helix. The ride is
even more fun when it is racing but today the Blue trains were not working.
Next I went over to Magnum XLC-200
which was a walk on and I got the backseat all to my self. Great Airtime.
Magnum has a simple layout which is out & back but it works with the great air
time. At the back end turn around is a pretzel like knot. It's very rough but
I love it! Then you come back and go through a air time packed tunnel. And a
second later your getting your picture taken. When I went to see my picture
they messed up and took it off before my train even got off.
Oh well it happens, early
season glitches, I guess.
Magnum moving up the
lift hill!
Wildcats new Paint Job!
After Magnum I was
heading for Millennium Force, however being attracted by Wildcats new paint
job and hearing its fun to ride and to sit by yourself because you slide back
and forth. I decided to try the Schwarzkopf. My first Schwarzkopf! It was fun
too. A lot of fair lateral's and yes, it is fun to slide back and forth! So
many near head choppers. I think if your a real coaster lover Wildcat is worth
a ride.
