Even though I have not been to the park in 2 years (2008/2009 seasons), I will always view this as my homepark. Now that the 2009 season is wrapped up, please share some cool moments you had this season. Gonna find a way to get out there for the 2010 season.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
May 2009: First trip by myself. Brother went to Gurnee Mills and saw a movie while I was at the park from 11 to about 6. Got a flash pass and did just about everything I wanted. Great weather and first time Great American Idol! GREAT day.
July 2009: family went to Gurnee Mills and I was there from 11ish to 3:30. Not a lot of time so felt a little underwhelmed and rushed. Still a good day for a July Sunday. Called off work for this trip. Did not get in trouble but my mom complained.
August 2009: Last trip. was supposed to go on bus in morning but my brother said he would take me while he went to GM for a bit with my sister in law and nephew. Then after the park closed I would take the bus which I was misunderstood to stand my Superman when it actually does not even park in the park itself. Disaster of a trip and I spent the whole day worrying about the fated bus back. It did not come. Dad had to come from rosemont station where he was supposed to pick my up back and I was standing my the front gates from 9:40ish till 10:20 when I went to Burger King and waited another 25 minutes. Dad took my freezing butt home. Temps were COLD after 7 at least in the low 50's to the mid 40's in AUGUST. Vowed to never take the bus again.
No more 09 trips. Bad memories from last trip and not wanting to go by myself for the 4th time. See you in May or June 2010 Six Flags!

I enjoyed ruining the last ride in the last row for these two weird and crazy people the ALWAYS have to have the last ride in the last row every night. They were in row 8 and we were next in line. The had there friend who was in front of us block the gate and they snuck into the last row. Well we told the op that and the girl got up and my friend sat down in that seat. Then I took the seat in the 8th row that was open. The weird girl had to go to row three...she was going to cry
Just messing with them made my last ride on the season amazing
In the dark knight pre-show, We were at the part in the movie where Harvey Dent repeats "We Are Corrupt..." And out of no where this older man walks to the door and tells the employee that the TV was broke.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."

This happens every single year I've been there. Glad to know it's still going on even when I can't show up. Way to keep the tradition alive!
My first ride on Viper, it was also my first trip without my parents. I rode with my best friend and swore and screamed through the whole ride, learned i would make a terrific Opera singer. First ride on DEMON loved every minute of it. Revolution is much faster and higher the fewer people on the ride. King Chaos makes your head hurt My friend getting stuck in a childs inner tube security having to come and cut it off him (and he's a thin guy). A complain girl getting upset because i was going around her on the Dark Knight, it was Coasters After Dark and no one was paying attention to the Movie and she gets all huffy about me going ahead of her. So she was moaning and groaning so while she was complaining I said so everyone could hear that she must have been on the rag. Can't wait for the Glow In The Park Parade see u in 2010!!!!!! Opening Day Is My Birthday!!!!!!!!
