Well.. what a crazy day.

The Parking Lot was PACKED. :)
Maverick ERT for Joe Cool was today.. and my friend Justin and I decided to hit it up. Well, it was a bit windy.. so when we FINALLY got in the park, they announced it would be a Millennium Force ERT instead.
Saddened.. we make our way to MF. When we get there... Tony and Tyler announce.. MAVERICK!
Finally.. we get to Mavvy.. and the line is QUITE the sex..

Magical to say the least.
WELL.. having already had to wait for the ride to open.. we FINALLY get on around 4:30-5. 10/10 yet again... I love Mav.
We get back in line.. the ride breaks down. YES. Delay after delay is ruining our day. Well, we eventually get on and have another great ride. By this point, the normal guest start to arrive, so we decide to hit up an EMPTY Skyhawk..

3 rides later, we decide to head back to Maverick for another go.. hoping the line would get shorter. It was.. 10 minutes later.. we are sitting in our seats.. and low and behold.. RAIN!
Yay for more bull****. We had to wait even longer as they unloaded us and slapped us back in the queue line. Although.. after a bit.. the line wasn't looking too bad..

After about 45 minutes, we finally get back on and have our 3rd go. Yet again, fantastic ride.

After that.. we stop by the Chik stand and get some food.. very very good.
A little walk later.. we are on Millennium Force.. much to our surprise.. with a 10 minute wait. Beauty! The ride proved a little better then I remembered, but nothing too spectacular.
After MF.. we head over to Power Tower for a little space shotness.. nice nice.. then over to Top Thrill Dragster.. which had been down all day due to weather and mechanical difficulties.
The guy said in about half an hour, they would be open.. so we took a romp on Magnum for a bit of fun.
Every time I ride this ride.. it gets less and less fun. The trims take away ALL of the ejector it once had. Its just soo bland its insane. Poor Magnum.. what you could be..
As we've did everything of note so far in the park thats open.. we decide.. well I decide to head over to TTD and wait it out. We met quite a few nice people and actually enjoyed the near hour wait for the ride to open.
Low and behold.. once the ride did open.. we are the 5th and 6th people in line!
First train of the day.. and 10pm!! YAY!!
I hadn't ridden TTD since the Live, so if I could have ridden any other ride besides Maverick, this would have been it. 5th row back, we strap in and pray for a rollback... but to no avail.
As the line is TINY.. we get back in line and decide to wait for the front.
As we are waiting.. we spot Hyde244 about to have his go! We had no idea he was even in the park. We tried to meet up with him later at the ERT.. which we indeed did. Quite interestinggg...
After our second go on TTD.. its around 10:30 and the park closes at 11. We decide, since my stuff is in the locker at MF.. we would have a few more goes before the final Maverick ERT that night.
On the way.. we spot a NOTHING line on Wildcat.. so we jump on. We seriously walk-on.. ride.. and walk off. A 'Coaster Pit-Stop' i'd like to say.. haha.
We gallop over to MF to find the SAME line as we did on Wildcat. Walk-On!!
Beauty at its finest ladies and gentleman.
After a go, we run around and get back in line. Another walk-on! While we are getting ready to go, we had realized that we had ridden TTD, Wildcat, and MF in about 5 minutes. Crazyness.
Another ride later.. they just start letting people in the queue and not having them walk all the way around. We re-ride the same seat twice in a row!
<3
Finally.. with the park closing, we head back to Maverick for the long awaited Maverick ERT we had dreamed of.
We ended up seeing Hyde244 when we jump in.
The lack of people was astounding.. 2 re-rides later.. RAIN!!!!!!
5 minutes into the ERT.. we get booted from the ride. We could have gotten in at least 15 rides at that pace.. but ended so sadly.
Overall.. 9/10 day. I wish we coulda ridden Maverick more.. but the craziness of the day made up for it.
Ride Count:
Maverick x5
Millennium Force x4
Top Thrill Dragster x2
Power Tower x1
Magnum XL-200 x1
Skyhawk x 3
