Let us know how your day at the park was.

Today was absolutely AWESOME! We get to the park at around 2:30..

Right away we notice that it's EMPTY! (I was expecting this) We first go to Sky Trek, walk on (I love this ride, saw Chicago).

Then we go on Whizzer, 3 minute wait. Awesome ride, I love it.

After that we go on Demon, about a 5 minute wait. Love that first drop!

We went to Farmer's Market after Demon to eat. Pizza was great!

Eagle time! Both sides were operating today. WALK ON. :D Great ride as usual.

We then go onto Revolution... WALK ON. This really rude op pushed my harness down really tight. :evil: That idiot.

SWT! (my fav section) First is Raging Bull. Line is at the stairs! five minute wait. We went on the second to last row, first time in the back). OMG! The back is AWESOME!!! LOADS of ejector airtime on that first drop.

Then Giant Drop, five minute wait. Awesome ride as usual. We bypassed Viper because the line was half of the queue; didn't want to bother with it.

We then go back to County Fair for Iron Wolf. WALK ON. We rode the front row so we waited two cycles. This ride is awesome front row. Not nearly as rough as in the middle. (The crew was so SLOW!!!)

Then we head to Batman. TOTAL WALK ON!! No line AT ALL. So we figured to wait for the front row since we didn't have to wait in an hour line before hand. Waiting about five minutes for front. (first time in front) I LOVE this ride in the front. So many leg choppers and awesome scenery (the water at the end was awesome).

We then ride the Chaotic King, walk on. Great ride. We head to Superman... (6:15 at the time)

Superman was full without switchbacks.. So we go to rue le dodge hoping it would die down. We pass condor and figure why not.. total walk on.

From Condor I saw that Superman's line was shorter, so after Condor we go to Superman. The wait was twenty minutes. It was our only significant waiting of the day. It actually went by fast. We got on the ride at exactly 7:00. :P That pretzel loop was AWESOME.

Today was the PERFECT day to go. It was perfect weather, crowds were non-existant, and we got on almost ALL the coasters in FOUR HOURS!!! :D

Great America is so FUN without having to wait in lines.

It still suprises me how Superman's line will be a 20 minute wait when the rest of the park is completely empty. I guess for a lot of people, it's still a must-do ride. And a lot of people probably haven't been on it, yet.

Thanks. I sure did! I suggest all of you (if you can) to try and head down there any weekday this week. It truly was a blast.
