First off, we missed out on the free towels. We got there a bit later, but it wasn't that crowded anyway. We got magnificent parking, considering that for the whole summer we've been shunted off into the overflow lot. We parked behind S:UF station house. I think people who go to the trouble of buying parking passes should get preferred parking.
Anyway, we got past the front gate without the usual exhaustive search. They must have been lazy.
We headed off to Orleans Place. We saw there was literally no line for Rue Le Dodge so we hopped in. We got three re-rides without getting out before the op kicked us off. We went into the arcade and I wanted to play a game of air hockey. Except we paid and no puck came out. After talking to four different workers, we got our refund, and headed off to the Mardi Gras section. We wanted to ride Ragin Cajun when we decided the line wasn't worth it. That queue annoys me, because it's packed in so close to other people, there's no shade, and of course it moves pretty slowly.
We passed that up and went into Yankee Harbor. We rode East River Crawler and Batman. Whiplash Effect lead me into Looney Tunes National Park to show me where the Upside Down House used to be. (Whiplash Effect is a Six Flags Veteran
) After that we were thirsty and hungry, so we got an Icee and some cheese fries.
After that we got in the very short line for Iron Wolf. It got even shorter when the ride stopped because someone puked on the ride. People really have no patience, when it's a matter of someone puking on the ride, they go pretty fast in cleaning off the ride and getting it going again, yet people get impatient and hop out of line. Oh well, shorter lines for us.
We got on the train as it was just pulling into the station and only a few people were getting on. We sat in the very back, and had a car of the train all to ourselves (except for the conductor guy standing in the back.) We struck up a conversation with him, and he informed us that GAm is getting four new rides next year, but he doesn't know what. I'm not a rumor-mongerer, I just thought that was interesting that he mentioned that as a lot of people seem to think we're getting a new B&M coaster. Who knows.
Then it was onward to the Revolution, which I rode grudgingly (the ride is unpleasant for me because it makes my neck hurt.) Whiplash said he would buy me Dippin Dots if I went on with him, and he kept his promise. He then went on Revolution three more times while I sat on a bench and enjoyed my Dots.
We backtracked back to Iron Wolf, where we rode it together one time, I got off, and waiting at the exit while Whiplash rode it two more times. I don't like to ride certain rides more than once at a time because it just makes me sick.
I absolutely refuse to ride Fiddler's Fling. It's a great ride, but like I said, I don't like the after effects. I used to have a stronger stomach, but I've been having some trouble this year. That's why Whiplash went on FF twice while again I sat on a bench.
Then we went to the Eagle, Red side. There was absolutely no one around, so we rode the Eagle 10 times in a row without ever getting off the ride. It was pretty cool. I love how the red side's been running lately, super fast and amazing air time in the back. We raced and beat blue every single time.
We topped out the day with a nice ride on Raging Bull, which is my favorite coaster in the park.
