6/17 not part of CC and only went to ride toro.
« on: June 18, 2006, 08:33:08 PM »
Well when we entered the park we went right to GR to get out parent pass. Almost no wait there right over to ET and it wasn't opened yet the line was already out to the enterance of the plaza. Hubby and the kids waited and me and my DS went over to the GK . It was a joy to be there alone because later in the day it was PACKED !! It took about 2 hours for them to get on Toro but they LOVED it . I then got to go and all I can say was WOW . I loved it the lift like MF is amazing and the head choppers are amazing you can see all the people in the front looking like they are going to duck Very funny. We rode it twice once while waiting in line and the other time with our passes from the back of the season pass books.  Well worth it both times.

A few other things i notice and saw or heard while in the park and wanted to share.

1. There are snakes in the water right off of ET have a photo of one it amazed my son for a good 20 min.

2 The train in GK is still not running, it does look like it was moved but it is not running . This is the jungle land express to no where so far.

3. The line for KK was about 3 hours at one point many ,many people had the "flash pass" and  I Have to say the park is kind of greedy with them as In my opinion they are selling too many when the line for that is over 40 min .To get on from what I heard. Still only one side and 2 trains . I did see the orange train sitting there but the fourth one is still MIA.

4. On the last ride of Toro hubby talked to a ride opt I  believe , he said guy in the dark blue shirt,  that ET was going to be closed mid -week on week in mid july to get the second train on. It has to run 150 hours for it to be operational. That is straight hours i am assuming with both trains on the track and no passangers. This should not make for happy campers in the park that week. I am only passing the news on from what i was told.

left pretty early as the park was packed and all the lines were insane . With the kids still in school this was the only day for us to ride toro and we couldn't wait  any longer and i will say it was worth the wait . One amazing ride. The only problem they really need a sizing seat out front I seen at least two or three people turned away for size issues seat belt too small or the orange restraint not able to lock. You feel bad for these people who wait over two hours and then can't ride . i didn't see a seat maybe i missed it but they do need one if it isn't there.
