Trip Background Story:Yesterday, I was in the cafeteria before class started, I was sitting, and I turned to talk to my friend Bryan when all of a sudden I heard a really loud crack and all of a sudden my neck and right shoulder got really still and it was the most pain my neck and shoulder have ever felt. I don't know what I did. All I knew is when I stood it hurt, when I sat it hurt. Bryan and Anthony (my brother) got a dean, they helped me up and got me to the nurse. She checked me out and said I sprained my neck and was having constant spasms. I was taken home, and rested and took a hot shower, so I should be fine.
The TripSpike picked me up a little after 2 and we drove to Sayervill, NJ to pick up Taryn. Our mission of the day was two get Taryn on a roller coaster. She's had a fear of them from riding Rolling Thunder (there's a shock!) so we thought we'd get her on a few rides. We arrived at the park, a little before 4. We waited a while for Chris to get there. We went in and I "ran" into Josh (mysterio). I met Will from
Coaster World News. And we were on our way. We headed over to Skull Mountain to actually get Taryn on something. Walter was up at Skull and thought it'll be funny to staple me as hard as he could, lol. We waited no longer than five minutes for the first two rows. It was fjn as usual, Taryn screamed a few times, but she was okay.
Chris thought we could get Taryn on Medusa so we headed over there. The line was in the last switchback, but they were running three trains, so we waited probably 15 minutes. We got the 7th row and were lovked and Taryn decided to bail (She didn't go on anything else the whole day). We asked them to unlock and Taryn ran off. The ride wasn't as rough as usual, but due to my neck, I held on and kept my head back.
After Medusa we cut through Plaza Del Carnivale and decided to head back later. We checked out Kingda Ka, whichw as broken. We waited around for 10 minutes were I saw Nick (mpr), and we decided to bail out. No Blueberry for me yet, but it'll happen. We headed over to Boardwalk, and saw that GASM hada walk on. Jackie (Walter's girl friend) was oping and let me on (it may seem useless now, but you'll se why I mention that). I promised I wouldn't go on due to my neck, but I did anyway. I sat in the 5th row and I kept my head back and held on. I did not hit my head once! it was really good. When I got off Jackie came up to me and said, "Walter told me I wasn't supposed to let you on, but I forgot." I told her not to tell him but she did and he yelled at me later at Burger King.
After GASM we headed over to Nitro. The line was in the final switchback so it shouldn't of been that long. But we waited for almost an hour. We got the last row. I love this ride, it's like floating on a cloud. It's smooth, gentle and alot of floater, it's perfect for my neck! After Nitro we waited 10 minutes for the last row of Batman. It took forever to dispatch but we finally did. The ride wasn't as gentle as Nitro but still alot of fun.
We then headed over to Chiller. The line for Robin was half way down the ramp. Let me just tell you this, the Chiller crew was doing horribale (Probably because Ryan, Derick, or Dave were
not up there!). We finally got on after an hour. Within 15 minutes, there were 3 launches. We only moved because people were leaving. The ride itself was very shaky in the third car. Shaky like FD3 shaky, but it was good. It didn;t kill me like it would of with the Zero-G roll (RIP).
We then headed over to El Toro. We got to the line and realized it was only a station wait. I have to say this, the El Toro crew is amazing. They do such a great job over there. They weren't stacking most of the time. We got the second to last car and had an amazing ride on it like usual. As we left, we realised the park had 5 more minutes left so I ran on to El Toro (by myself). I made sure I was on the last train. It was a good move. I got the 2nd to last row and we got a reride. It was running fantastic each time. The park was closed so with the crowd, we left.
