Going for the first time of the season, hope to get up there around 10. Honestly no idea what I'm going to be wearing that day, so I'll let you know asap
I'll be out at the park that day as well. Of course, I'm going for only one reason: To ride American Eagle.
Saturday marks the 28th anniversary of the opening of the American Eagle. In years past, I have gone to the park on May 23rd only to ride that ride. This will be the first year that May 23rd falls on a Saturday in a number of years. What's interesting is that back in 1981, May 23rd was also a Saturday.
So, if you stop by Eagle, you'll probably see me, riding what I think is the best ride at the park. I see no better way to celebrate then by riding the coaster as many times as I can.
^^ Cool fact about American Eagle. Gives you perspective about how far coasters have come yet how things stay the same. Wish I could be there for the day but will be at Valleyfair! and Nick Universe.
Just got home from the park a few minutes ago. Not sure exactly how many rides I got on Eagle, but it was probably around 20. Line was between 30 and 40 minutes most of the day, with an hour downtime around 4 PM.
Weather was great too. All in all, a good way to wish AE a big happy birthday! Here's to the next 28
