This won't be a long trip report because I have some homework I need to get to and I just got home.

We got to the park around 9:50 and they dropped the chains and we walked to Viper. We got on the first train. The park was nearly empty as there was a walk-on for just about every ride. The weather was not cooperating, but the park sure was great! I managed to ride every coaster, except AE, SSR, and Whizzer. I even rode RB in the rain/sleet. Once we got on the brake run, they closed it down. I also rode V2 7 times today and one time they did not hold us on the brake on the back tower. It was really weird. I thought I just miscounted how many times we had gone through it, but we definitely didn't stop. I also got a some Mr. Six merchandise. I got a bobble head, key chain, and a shirt.

well besides the weather, then i think it sounded pretty good today!

The rain became a nuisance at times. I also rode BTR in the sleet (yet again). They really need to change the name during heavy rain and cold weather to Mr. Freeze. Lol D Vu' was closed at least three times because of the rain. Altogether, it wasn't so perfect together. It had a total of 10 breakdowns in which 2 were of the catchcar parking the train in the wrong place.

It was less crowded today than yesterday. I had ridden too many D Vu rides to count. Otherwise, I will tell you the counts for the other rides. KC was still closed along with RR, Condor, Am E B, and Splashwater Falls closed later on. LR and IMS were no shows today. At about 5:00, they mostly went to one train operation.

[DejaVu The Ride]

So it was another great Dejavu ride day huh? How much as an estimate would you say IlovtheVu?

DejaVu "Aren't you sick of it yet too?" The Ride

Deja Vu had another great day. If it weren't for the on and off sleet and ice showers, it would have been up the whole day, as would all the other rides.

Couple of changes from opening day to the 2nd day.
- The national anthem was changed, it now included words, no longer the band version.
- IMS was open instead of Logger's Run
- SUF was running a little smoother than opening day.
- Park was much emptier than opening day

No way!!! Are you kidding me? Here's the deal. I got 2 times in the morning. For the last 2:10 minutes, it was all D Vu' with one Triple Play.
Needless to say, it was walk-on during this time. Go figure, I don't remember how many rides I got. I was too excited to stay on it over and over again.

The weather that day sucked, i was walking by farmers market and it started to hail and it did for like 2 minutes then it stopped.

[sixflagsguy5]

Maybe next year I'll get out there both days. I figured it would be empty, but I didn't think it would be better than opening day.

I guess the thing that amazed me this day was the fact that the mechanics were pretty cool and collective. I say this because D Vu' was shutdown quite a bit this day (10 times) even though the weather times don't really count as a strike against it. The mechanic told me is everything okay, and I said yes. You would think they would be sick of the ride breaking down as much as it does, but they just understand. Good job mechanics.
