Rise and Scream on 8/2
« on: July 31, 2008, 02:56:21 PM »
Becky and I are headed across the Great Divide to catch some riding on Saturday morning before it gets busy.  Anyone else?
The world is coming to an end, I've actually created a blog!

I think I'll be going. The July 5th R&S was my last trip to the park.
I'm expecting Blackbeards and Skull Mountain this time.
We know Dan will be going!

I've heard El Toro is having some issues of late. :'(

I always found it odd that El Toro gets screwed by lightning more than any ride in the park it seems :(  I'll be seeing if I can slip out on Sat. morning Nate.

LOL. That's a good way to look at it Ken.

See you hope for the worst and you get Kingda Ka, Rolling Thunder, Medusa, and El Toro for Rise and Scream.
Not bad at all!

I also met up with SFGASue and she celebrated her 1000th ride on Nitro yesterday!
She said the park had a Nitro cake for her and gave her the 1st class treatment all day.
Nice!  Too bad I stopped counting my rides.

The Dark Knight was not feeling well...Closed until I left at 1:00PM.
The Army has a virtual reality simulator in the park by the big wheel that is neat if there is no line.
I can't imagine why they want your name and address before entering!
And then the give you a CD with the PC Game to take home..that was bar coded.
I assume if you play real well at home you might get a call.

That is AWESOME!  Glad to hear they did that for Sue.  Also nice to hear El Toro is back from the dead :D  I had actually considered going but assumed the worst with the weather that hit this morning.
