Mothers Day Trip Report 5/9

[Galvan]

Dont expect a huge detailed trip report on this trip because im lazy and because im very very tired lol.

Anyway I, arrive at the park at 9:55am, excellent time from where i live Joliet,Arrived in less then one hour. Today i was meeting up with Tom and Dave, and of course i find Tom under the bridge with Dave no where to be found. Anyway, 10am Tom takes off for Deja, of course i follow but im not running, haha. Anyway the Ride actually opens with the park about 10 minutes and Me and Tom are dispatched on the First ride of the Day front row, the Ride was awesome! After that we re-ride twice more, by now Dave has caught up. And so much for DV. Then it was off to Revolution, great ride however i get dizzy at spin rides. So it was decent, the last part of the cycle really speeds up which is awesome. From Revolution, we head to American Eagle Blue. Great Ride with so pretty nice air time. From AE:B we head to Viper and Bull. After a quick re-ride on Bull we head to Giant Drop. Im not a huge have on GD but i must say it kinda grows with you after time. From GD we walk around the rear of the park in the Mardi Gras Section, Ragin Cajun looks awesome, but what we cannot figure is why a train is just sitting on the track? Batman was next which was one of the disappointments of the day, I sit down, and the seat belt wont click/lock all the way which gets me very very upset. So i sit out B:TR(In fact i sit out this twice as well as V2 Twice) However i did ride BTR later which makes no sense to me at all. Next to Superman. Or what for some stupid reason is being called "SUF" by some other forum members. Very very lame people. Anyway Superman, is a walk-on but during the queue there is some problem with the ride so we decide to go to the Rue Le Dodge. One the ride Me,Tom and Dave destroy eachother,inwhat i call "stacking" how this works is One of us, purposely drives our car into the wall, then from behind, another driver slams into the car thats up against the wall, then the third guy hits the second guy which hits the first guy. Very Painful....Lunch break. Following Lunch, we head to Sky Trek Tower, where we meet Josh, and the weather now is starting to worsen. In fact a Severe Thunderstorm Watch was in effect off of STT and heading to Viper, the sky is quickly going to open up...So we head to Viper and get Two rides in when theres a Crash of Thunder and Lightning. So it was off Viper. We wait down by Bull and the rain really starts to pick up for a few moments. During the delay most of the Coasters are closed however Ricochet was open so we go on that next. Rain off and on makes us head to our second trip on Revolution. Followed by a walk around Mardi Gras once again after a Trip on Iron Wolf. From IW we head to Roaring Rapids, Me and Dave rode and we got pretty wet, not soaked.Superman great ride (once again a walk on) from Superman we head to Whizzer...eh, okay? It should be noted that all during this time an annoucement is being made that theres a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect.... however its Crystal Clear and Sunny lol Around 6pm we meet up with Scott following another DV ride. From there we end our evening with another trip on Revolution, Raging Bull,Superman,Viper,Dejavu to end the night.

Aside from the BS that the Batman ops gave me about "Pushing down on the harness will break it" i give this trip a solid A. With major walk ons pretty much the whole day

WOW, that was really hard to read. The Enter (or return depending on your keyboard) button is your friend Mike .

One question about your report though. What exactly would you classify as soaked on Roaring Rapids, cause I thought we were pretty soaked...not just "pretty wet".

Also a note for people riding Batman in the near future, be gentle with your harness because they will apparently break if any force is applied to them.

I was behind you on DejaVu with my Mummy shirt.

I got yelled at for rocking my Iice Mountain Splash Boat.
