We got to the park at opening, which was 5:00 PM. Anthony ahd to use the bathroom so Pebbles and I went on Down Time. The view was nice. it was dark by the time we were at the top. Than the count down started. It ringed and we were thrusted down with good airtime! It was really fun! We got off and went over to Boulder Dash. We got the fourth car. We leave the station and up the lift we go.
Going up the lift was really wierd. It was going up the side of the mountain, so when we got to the top we were on ground level, which was so cool! Then turn and back down the side of the mountain! Wow this thing picked up speed! I didn't know it flew by the station! Going through the woods was awesome! It was non stop airtime! We were getting knocked around but in a fun way. It was fast and longer than I thought. It was better than people told me it would be!
We got off and saw the line grew a bit so we didn't ride again, we figured we'd ride it later (bad choice!) We rode the Enteprise which was nice, because I haven't been on an Huss Enteprise since 2003.
After Enterprise we all went over to Ghost Hunt, which is a Sally Shooting Dark Ride. It was fun but too hard to shoot and there was a long useless part of thd ride where it was on a blacony, but it went so slow. After Ghost Hunt, Pebbles, Anthony and I went over for our second and last credit of the night, Zoomerang. They thought they can cover it up but it's still a Vekoma Boomerang. New trains so i thought, this wouldn't be too bad.
There were somethings that were different about Zoomerang than any other Boomerang I've been on. It's very quiet! The first lift didn't make that loud compressed air sound when it slowed down and no noise when it releases. Go through the normal course and get to the second lift....Where's the Kerchunk noise? Than Pebbles looked up and said, "Oh you can see stars!" and we just thought that was funny. Backwards part...meh, rough. It was a better Boomerang, Kristen thought it was boring. We than did the American Flyers. Wow...they sucked. I snapped it a little but it was so slow!
Then the three of us went on over to Thunder and Lightening. This was my second Screamin' Swings. It was really fun suprisingly. I only wish they had both sides open and that it was longer! But it had some good airtime and it was all fun. After that we went over to the Rotor. Oh I miss this ride. It was so much fun, I really wish SFGAv would get it back (and get ride of that crappy rubber thing on the wall). The floor dropped further than I remember. And when it was over we all slid down, but Pebbles was still on the wall for a few seconds :LMAO: . After that we did Zoomerang again becasue it was there, and we had to go to the Haunted Graveyard next.
Next up was the Haunted Graveyard. I didn't know what to expect, but I did know the props would be amazing. The line seemed kind of ghetto, but it moved. When we get to the end they tell us it's 45 minutes if we walk, 30 if we run. We all thoguht she was exaggerating, but no it really was 45 minutes! It was insane! It was scary, but not extremely, it was fun scary. And the theming was AMAZING! The pyramid was a shock! The house at the end was really cool. Anyone else notice there was no roof?
After the Haunted Graveyard, Mom went beck to the car and now it was jut Pebbles, Anthony and I. We did this Haunted maze which was really bad. We headed over to boulder Dash to find out it was closed for the rest of the night. The train was in the station so I'm wondering why. Then we went over to Down Time. Anthony came on this time. It was fun, I got more airtime this time. After that we went over to Zoomerang.
While in line for Zoomerang, there was this guy behind us. He said, "They call it Zoomerang because it zooms!" Than he was talking about SFNE and trying to explain Catapult to me and I tried telling them I knew! Also, this guy asked us if we've ever been on Kingda ka, and my brother bursts out laugh, "HAHAHAHA IT SUCKS!" Anyway, we got the front row. Not too bad. There was an empty seet. it was the last row. BIG MISTAKE! It was so rough. I had a major head ache until I fell asleep in my bed at home! It really hurt. After that we went home.
Anthony, Me, and Kristen finally arrived in Connecticut.
