Of course with my great luck my dad didn't pick me and my friend up from her house until around 10. We got there at 11:15 but didn't get in until 12 because we had to wait in the long lines at the ticket booths. I was really not having a good day, but once we got in I got excited. We went right into the water park.
Checked out the wave pool first. Very fun. Then we went to try out a water slide, we decided to go on the pink tube bowl slide. Wait wasn't bad, probably around 15 minutes. It was awesome. Then we went on the lazy river which was neat.
Next, we headed by Skull Island but we just decided to look at it. The slides weren't open. We went on the Wahoo Racers. People kept getting stuck trying to go down. One girl even started crying. I even got stuck. It was pretty fun though, besides the fact I hit a bump and hit my chin on the raft. My friend ended up flying up about 3 or 4 feet, and some people were shocked by that.
After getting some pizza, we went in the wave pool again. This time I didn't have too much fun because there were way too many people around me, they were too close to me and I was in the deep end of course... I swallowed or inhaled too much water and I could hardly breathe. I have asthma so yes this was scary for me.
Next, we went on the teal tube slide. It was really fun, I loved the double drop. Once we came off the slide, I FLEW forward off of the tube into the water. I had no idea what was going on for a second or two. I was stuck in the water for a few seconds because the tube floated right over me, and my friend ended up sliding right onto the other side of the tube. It was definitely the highlight of the day. It felt scary but it was really awesome.
Next we went on the raft slides. They both were extremely fun. The waits weren't too bad. We went into the wave pool one last time, we stayed in for a while too. It was a lot more fun this time. We ended our time at HH with the green tube bowl slide. It was even better than the other one, and once we started to get sucked out of the bowl, we went backwards. Once we came off the slide, both of us flew off the tube. It was great. I didn't want to leave the water park, but I wanted to get on some rides. It was 5:35 when we left.
We got in line for Viper. The grouper wasn't there anymore, which sucked because the station was nuts... A fight almost started. The ride broke down right before we were about to get on. Apparently two guests ran out somewhere and they had to stop the train on the lift hill. It was down for 10 minutes. It ended up being a 30 minute wait. Awesome ride though! Bull was next, 15 minute wait for back row. Great ride, next to my friend this girl's shirt went down a bit too far, RIGHT when the camera took the picture. The picture was funny, she was looking down at her chest.
Then we waited for Eagle Blue. The second train was on the transfer track. We ended up waiting like 20 minutes because the damn ride broke down on us, another emergency stop on the lift hill. Great ride, great ride... We went on IW next, walk on. Shortest wait of the day. We ate a funnel cake sundae, which was extremely good. We ran to Batman, and I was almost positive it was going to be a walk on. I was very wrong, lol. It was a 7 minute wait for the back row.
Quickly went on King Chaos, walk on. Great ride, it made me feel extremely dizzy and lightheaded. It was great. I ran to Vu with not much time left (10 minutes). Waited for row 1B and got 3rd to last train of the night. It was a great night ride. Totally awesome.
Overall, today was great, I had an awesome time at the water park. I was a bit disappointed I didn't get to ride everything I wanted (V2, SUF, Demon, some other rides a few more times), but it was still a great day. I think I might like HH more than GAm.
Yeah I was next in line for Viper row 5-2 I believe when it broke down (E-stopped). I think they said two kids ran out into the station mid-ride causing it to automatically stop.
1. Voyage
2. X
3. Millenium Force
4. Top Thrill Dragster
5. Raging Bull
It's original name was Big Surf (back in the days when all we knew was from the investor phone call). But according to the sign and the map it's Bahama Mama.

^I'm not sure if what he said is true (It's nothing personal, it's just that people tend to exaggerate or misunderstand things when it comes to amusment ride accidents) But what he was saying is two kids ran into the station mid ride. (Like they jumped over the air gates onto the track), which is usually impossible as there is almost always a train in the station. So I think we are misunderstanding him.
Yeah, that's pretty much what the ride ops said. I think they did run in from the exit ramp. Who knows though, I was like 2 rides away from getting on and I couldn't see that well.
I think the Bull trims are worse now. The brake section just before the picture is really bad, but the trims before the figure eight don't do anything now that the brake section trims it up so much (or at least that is what it seemed to me).

That sucks. I too have asthma so I could imagine what that would have been like for you. Good thing is, it hasn't bothered me in such a long time(Well, when I run, or whatever, for awhile it takes me longer then it should to get my breathe back.)...although I guess I shouldn't say that or I might jinx it.
I'm seriously thinking of going to see a doctor to see if I have it anymore. The last time it really bothered me was once here(Dunno why.) and when I lived in Washington(The state.). Mainly all the mold and such is what really made my asthma act up. I went to the hospital a good 5 to 10 times when living there.
Anywho, glad to hear your alright and you had a good time.
About Wahoo Racers, I hate how hard it is to get them going. I hit my ankle trying, heck the lifeguard had to help me. Then on the way down the ride is so rough, ecpesially the hills.
SKULL ISLAND RULES!
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

My asthma doesn't usually bother me much either. I have like a mild case of it or something. The only time it really bothers me is when I'm swimming (I almost passed out while in a swimming competition) and when I'm running. Other than that it's really not bad.
Oh yeah I hate it. The lifeguard pushed my friend's rear end to get her going, lol. He almost did it to me too. I thought the ride was REALLY fun though, a bit scary, and I hit my chin, but still fun. It didn't really hurt when I hit my chin though. Skull Island looks awesome, I can't wait to try it out.
