burnin the tread off this road gator

DAY ONE

as i got off work that morn. i drove over to my relatives house in rushville.i took my time as my relatives dont have a season pass, so when i got there, they were still in the process of gettin ready. this trip to ki with them i knew is what my aunt needed to get her mind off of her recent daughter passin from cancer. when they were ready, we drove over to greensburg to pick-up some other relatives. when we all got to the park, they were astounded that they didnt have far to walk (as it was a thursday & they've always went on a saturday).

as we proceeded to the ticket booth's & guest relations to process the discount coupons i got from G.O.C.C. & my one day vouchers i got from workin haunt, i waited on the bench for them.as we walked thru the gate, we went left (instead of the right like im used to). they decided to check out the gift shop while i went to get a $5 ticket for eXtreme Skyflyer. when i came back, the 2 youngest ones went on delerium. me & my aunt went over & got on delerium as well, shortly afterwards my other aunt joins the line so we reversaled line hoped to go ride with her.

we get up there & the second aunt backs out, we enjoyed our swing time. we then decide to go to ama-congo falls, my second aunt rides in the back with me. as we got to the top, we joked about seein our cars. i told her to hang on cause were gettin airtime, she told me she was greatfull for that. we were gonna go ride Invertigo (but it was down) so we went towards outer hanks. my second aunt got a good buzz from her drink while her & the first aunt rode the barrels of fun. they wanted to put dolly wheels on those & be pushed around the park on them.

after there ride, we went on Adventure Express (the second aunt still kickin from the buzz). they needed a smoke break so i directed them to tower gardens, while i went to see my friends on tower/carousel. when we came back, we went towards racer. Both sides were runnin so i rode blue while the two aunts rode red. i was the first to the brake run while they were first in the station.we walked up coney & they wanted to do FoF, it was gettin close to time on my friend workin train to get off; so i told them i would met them @ tower around 3.

i went to train, didnt see her there; i waited for the train to come back before hopin on, still no sign of her; then it hit me "she's @ Boomerang Bay depot", so i hoped on & sure enough; there she was. we socialized while she waited for the train to come back around. by then it was almost 3, so i booked it to tower.they hadnt showed up yet, so i talked with one of my friends who was cleanin the pole (que rails, get your mind outta the gutter silly) when my second aunt came out of nowhere & got me good. when we all got back togather, we went to la rosa's on international.

they wanted to get there swim gear after eatin,so they went to the car while me & my uncle stayed by the fountains. when they came back, we went to BBoBH (i scored a 2220). then we walked to boomerang bay, after sittin there bakin in the sun i opted to meet-up with them later. i went back on BBoBH & scored a 1345, then i went to use my extreme skyfler ticket. i was actually with some ride-ops that showed emotion on that ride & was havin fun. god i <3 that ride, i also figured out that if you curve your body sideways youll get a backspin. towards the end of the ride, a girl hollard from Drop Tower sayin " do a superman"

ya'll know me, i dont disapoint (it made her day). then i went to ride flight deck w/ a re-ride about that time pkiboy called & told me to meet him @ db. i got in 3 rides with him, nicky b, mitch, & tom. then my relatives called & said they were on there way back from the waterpark. so i bid my fairly wells as i was gonna see 3 of 'em the next 2 days. both my aunts were gonna ride db but with the first one havin thunder thighs, i had her try the test seat. she couldnt fit so me & the other aunt went for her first ride on it. i descoverd that if she hasnt rode it before, DONT TALK TO HER DURING THE RIDE!!!

we went for beast & once again, the second aunt couldnt fit. after our ride, it was time for us to leave for the day. i introduced them all minus one to skyline chili. THEY ALL HATED IT! & the other said it was the best one he had but still hated it. i think our lack of service played a little factor in that. i stayed awake long enough to help my uncle find his way out of cincy.

DAY TWO

got home, slept a little, got up to clean fred the turtles tank, then waited for nicky b to call me. we left & got to santa claus earlier than pkiboy ( who had nicky b & mitch's ticket into HWN's) so we dilly dallyed @ wendy's then went to holiday world. we waited in the shade outside under the picnic area by ravens turnaround thats by the lake (im not gonna ditch them just cause i have a season pass). we were shortly joined by a mr. frost & had shenanigans, then a certain gigga came to the rescue with water. they rest of the group showed up about the time HWN was about to began.

after the lo-down, it was time to start by a ride on ravage; sorry tom, i missed the ert for turkey whirl. then we went to legend with a reride so i could talk to beast1979, followed by raven. then kat & her posse showed up so we went to ride raven again, then it was lunch time. then me, dave, & daughter went to ravage. then i joined kat with a ride on hallowswings, followed by legend, raven, & ravage (those rides @ nite with prescrip aviators on was SSSWWWEEEEEETTT!!!) then i rode with beast1979. one of the ACEr's accidentally snapped off one of the seat deviders from ravage.

then as i get a drink from the Pepsi oasis, i was suprised by a jack the ripper & his stalker companion who said they got one ride a piece on all 3 woodies in under 20min. this nite came to an end & we went to our cabins (this is where the real fun began). there were SOME in our group who never went campin. by the standerds of campin, we were in luxury. BUT OMG, THERE BUGS EVERYWHERE! welcome to campin you non-campers. it first started when we got lost on our way to the cabin, then as everyone started to split off, nicky b & mitch start talkin like its the hills have eyes meet the blair witch project.

then when we get to the cabin, i decided to scare them by jumpin out of the closet. only one i got was dave & he knew i was there. then i get ready for a shower & walk down there to find pkiboy flippin about the bugs & asks what my mini latern was. stalkerchick explained to him what it was & said "this mo-fo knows how to camp". the showers felt so good but i think i scared matt with my over excessive enjoyment of the shower. then i get back to find that nicky b, mitch, pkiboy & one of daves daughters was gonna sleep on chairs & the wicker bench. about that time i turned to go to my room & see stalkerchick come out of the room, huggin a teddy bear & lookin like she's gonna kill someone.

it was a riot @ first, then it became old, then it was like "SHUT-UP & GO TO SLEEP!" it didnt help matters that i pointed out a mouse & kifan1980 told me to set my really loud alarm for 5.5hrs.

DAY THREE

i woke up to turn my alarm off, there was still a little mayhem from the lack of sleep (what a great start to the day). then pkiboy & me ride over to the park. when they opened for mornin ert, i was gonna get a locker (since i knew how small they were). pkiboy said "i gotcha covered, dont worry about it", i stated "are you sure???" which he replied with a yes. we get to splashin safari & i let him know i was gonna get changed. i come back out & he's nowhere to be found, beastman shortly comes out & i guess he told him the same thing.

we walk back to the bahari wavepool & sure enough he was eatin breakfast & said there wasnt any room. so me & beastman set our stuff in a chair & go ride wildebeest w/o him. after several rides, i get out & go to the bahari wavepool. where i meet-up with kat & beast79. then we go do wildebesst for a little, then we go & wait for zoombabwe to open. then we go to pilgrams plunge, then its back over to the waterpark. i start freakin cause i cant find my bag that had my keys/wallet/phone/change of clothes, so i find them all @ bahari river.

i couldnt ride cause i was stress'n WAY too much. then come to find out, beastman found them in the same spot (just one section down).we end up leavin them with mr. frost's gma who was a trooper for keepin tabs on them. we went to do an epic jungle racer's race, then we split back into groups & my group went to zoombabwe, followed by pilgrams plunge. then me, stalkerchick & jack the ripper took our stuff to our cars. then we went to plymouth rock for some food where we came across a certain gigga & beastman. after that, it was time for the walkbacks (im still kickin my hide for forget'n my camera).

after the walkbacks, it was time for a gobblers getaway ride (i still fail @ this one). then me, jack, stalks, & adam shank went towards eagles flight. stalks took a look @ it & decided it was smokebreak time. while the 3 of us got to talkin about snappin, the ride-op asks us "whats snappin?!" (BINGO!) WE EXPLAINED THE FUNDAMENTALS OF IT & SHE WAS LIKE IDK. then about that time an ACEr got a loud & lagitament snap, hit the tree next to the ride-op booth, & as leaves were flyin everywhere, was goin backwards for a little. all the thuisy's plus us there where cheerin him on, half the line vamused, & the ride-op was in shock.

we told her its supposed to do that as we got on. we never got a snap, but came really close. we found our stalker & went to the picnic grove for the silent auction. i bought a red flag that flew on raven & made a bid for a set of raven flags. then we met back up with the others around by the star spangled carousel. we went to legend & then i took my goodies out to my car. got back in enough time for the dinner portion to start for HWN's. i had won a set of raven flags that i bid on. saw holidog, but really wanted to see safari sam. after this, i was sssooo worn out that i wated for others to get there ert on voyage, then i swaggered up to raven's exit & waited for the rest to get there ert.

then it was cabin time. i dont remember much after this point, so i guess this is where the tr road ends.

So that's what happened. The entire weekend is a blur, kind of like those night rides on Voyage.

[KIfan1980]

kifan1980 told me to set my really loud alarm for 5.5hrs.

Hey now, don't be blaming me - after all, yours wasn't event the first alarm to go off!

[rotag]

No, but it was the loudest & I asked you how many hours of sleep we needed.
