PTR: Opening Day 5-3-14

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby Sharon29060 on May 4th, 2014, 11:08 pm
The off-season went faster than I thought it would! I arrived at the park at 10:45 am. It took me approximately 40 mins to get into the park. X-Flight was my first coaster of the year! :D I was very happy to see both trains running, but unfortunately X-Flight's crew was the most inefficient, they would dispatch a train almost every 5 mins. Rode on the right wing 2nd row. Then I rode it again before heading to AE. Eagle was the coaster I waited the shortest for(about 40 mins). Great ride as always, but it sure needs some re-tracking on those helices. After that I took a look at Goliath. Goliath is much bigger and massive in person, I can't wait to ride it! Spacely's Sprocket Rockets became my 16th coaster! It's a fun kiddie coaster and you get some awesome views of Goliath from there. Then I went to eat lunch. Re-entry hand stamps are now red. By the way, the new blue polo uniforms are better than the neon ones. Then I went on Raging Bull and rode on the 5th row. I waited 75 mins, the line moved quickly though. Then lastly I went on X-Flight 3 more times. Waited 90 mins, the longest I waited. X-Flight broke down around 7:00pm. Overall, this Opening Day was far much better than last year's in my opinion. Can't wait for the rest of the 2014 season!

Ride totals:
X-Flight: 5
AE: 1
SSR: 1
RB: 1
Total: 8

Now onto some photos. Enjoy!

Good TR. Good photos too. I was in line for XF when it broke down.
I can't wait to go back!

I also thought the XF crew was a bit slow yesterday.
The RB crew was a little faster.

Thank you! I agree, I thought that RB's crew was the fastest out of the four coasters I rode.

No, they were taken with an ipod.

Yea. No doubt about that. The XF crew were half asleep at the wheel. It was like that all day.
But the RB crew was on the ball. Somebody from RB needs to go to XF and tell the crew there how it's done! :)

I guess the RB crew can do more with less, while the XF crew could only manage less with more.
I just hope to see a better crew on XF when I go back in a few weeks.
