We got there at about 9:30 and it was packed. We parker got our tickets and stuff checked. We then looked for a ride. We looked and we saw De' javu was open and this was my first time ever on it and I was scared. Fun ride, but a little to short, and it broke down while we were in line. It was about a 20 minuite wait. Then we headed American Eagle. Me and my friend sat in the front row on AEB, and the other people we were with sat in AER in I think the front row also. Realy fun ride I got tons of airtime. Then we headed to Giant drop, ive never been on it and I didnt go on because I was scared, so I went and got some water. Then we headed to The viper, the wait was about 20 minuites, but I got so much airtime. And my picture was funny. Anyway after that we headed to burger, we ate came back and headed to Ice mountain splash, about a 30 minuite wait but it was worth it we cooled off and headed for the one the only RAGING BULL! We sat in the 6th row and it was a great ride with tons of airtime. It was about a 15-20 minuite wait. Then for are last ride of the day the people I was with were gonna go on Giant drop again but I didnt see them in line so they were in the tunnel thing and they came out and my friend told me to go on ad I finally said ok. I got on afetr about a 15 minuite wait and these kids were making fun of me because I looked nervous and I found a crumpled piece of paper and threw it at his head then he shut up. When we were going up the lift It was really fun. I saw alot of thing's because I wasnt facing the park.And the drop was insane! I cant wait to go again on JULY 27th! And we finally left at about 4:30.

*other notes*

It wasnt very packed because of people at hurricane harbor and everyone was watching that girl dance with bugs bunny.
Giant drop is the best ride ever!

You said that you got there at 9:30pm and only rode 5 rides within a 5 hour time frame. But and the end of your report, you said that you left at 4:30pm. That means that you were actually there for about 7 hours. Another thing, for each ride that you rode, you said that it was about a 20 minute wait. So what did you do for the rest of the time? Did you go to Hurricane Harbor? Did you catch a show? Are there some rides that you forgot to mention? Just curious.

I got there at 9:15 P.M. at night coming home from my house in Somers, WI. I got on Whizzer with a 10 minute wait. Then went to Demon with a 5 minute wait, but this stupid lady wouldnt sit down or leave the ride cause her son was too short to ride, and she wanted him to ride it. Got off and headed over to Vu for last dispatch, got on then got off in 37 minutes. We left the park after being there for only 1 hour and 12 minutes and got on 3 rides.

By the way, at 9:15 when we walked past Bull, it was still in 2 queue houses. :shock:

Is this a Saturday trip report? If so, was that concert packed? Where was it (Hometown or Southwest)? You have to remember that food is included in that time.

The lines for most coasters were not too bad during the day. Raging Bull's line was barely in the first queue house. Demon was running a three-train op, which made for short waits.

Raging Bull, Deja Vu, and Superman both had downtimes. Deja Vu's train, with riders, was stuck near the bottom of the loop. Superman had a train stuck on the lift hill for about 5-10 minutes. Raging Bull also had a train stop on the second set of brakes.

American Eagle: Blue was also running only 1-train op. There was some work being done, but I'm not sure what it was.

The WonkaMobile was at the park in the morning, handing out a few freebies. It may have been a one-time deal, unlike the Slim Jim guys (who are now gone).
