Rich and I are planning to go.  You know where to find us.  :)  I can't remember the last time we had a night ride on RT so I can't wait for that.  We usually just to go the park at opening and leave after a couple hours so it's been a while since we've been there at night.

Didn't get that e-mail this year. Last year I did though, as well as bring a friend free coupons at the enterance of the park about a week or so before. I am thinking that maybe this year it really will only be SP holders . That would be nice.

it says one per SP . I was really hopeful that it was not going to be bring a friend . NOT that I don't want to dampen anyones visit but it would be nice to keep it to SP holders just once besides Easter Sunday which is so hard for some people to do .

Post by: Ogolo on May 04, 2007, 07:05:32 AM
I'll be heading out to the park tonight.
My favorite thing about CAD is "No running of the bulls!" at 5:00.
Just enter the park and walk over to the ride of your choice.

And let's not choose Wiggles World as a meeting point again!
Maybe I'll see a few of you again.

Looks like it is going to be a beautiful evening.
Enjoy!

Have a great time everyone, you are going to have great weather. I will not be ablew to get to the park tonight because I am receiving my Confirmation. Hopefully I will be able to get to the next season pass event. This is my first year with a season pass, so I can't wait to see what it is like when the park is empty.

Dan, Rich, and I want to see all of you up at RT tonight.  :)  Actually, we might not be there as much as we thought now that 2 of our friends will be there.  Getting some night rides on ET is also a priority since we've never had a night ride on it.

Sue, since I'm there solo tonight I'll definately be getting some RT laps in tonight! :)

I was not a happy camper arriving at 7:30 last night....
Title: Re: CAD on 5/4 for Season Passholders Only
Post by: Robert T Ackerman on May 05, 2007, 11:45:36 AM
I'm sure at 7:30 you still could have gotten plenty of Toro/Ka rides... I ended up with 2 on Ka, in the front, and 7 or 8 on Toro, 1 on the front of Chiller, 1 front seat Nitro... good times, good times.

Nice meeting you Robb.

I realized last night that I am better off going to these evenings alone.  I went with friends who are not real coaster fans.  I ended up hardly going on anything where if I was alone I would have ended up going on things over and over again.  Oh well, live and let learn.

Post by: Ogolo on May 05, 2007, 01:03:25 PM
Of course Kingda Ka was being tempermental last night.
But I have to give the crew/mechanics a huge thumbs up!
They really seemed to want to keep the ride going.
Utilizing both sides and even sending off one side more than once in a row if the other side was being tempermental.

Many of the school trips stayed well past 5:00PM!
I suppose it is very hard to clear them out.

I went with my neighbor and his son.
Nothing like seeing a kid go on Kingda Ka, El Toro, and Medusa for the first time!
I think now he is hooked.

Oh and MySixFlagsPhotos finally made it into the account.
Slowly they appeared in the order they were taken.
You could see the big computer batch update running.
So it does work!!

Overall a great night a the park.

It was really cool seeing the park operate in such a way as it did on Friday night.  Operations were stellar and the El Toro crew simply rocked.   A train was nearly coasting into the station as another pulled out onto the lift time after time after time.  Good times with good people :).

Nice to meet you too Rob!
Nice to meet the RT Op known as DarkRideDan as well!

Operations were great throughout the park, but I rode the "New" Chiller for my first time and fell asleep, Wade had to come and wake me up...It was pretty embarasing
