TheCryptRaider

I think the helix at the end was a little jerky, but the rest was very smooth.

I was so excited and giddy my dad started getting mad.

Hey! Opening day was awesome, along with Diamondback. Diamondback is undescribable, thats how amazing it was. PARKING LOT ARRIVAL: Approximately 9:23 AM. First ride: Diamondback I got into the park at about 9:30, and cut through the crowds to get my ERT. I got in the line for Diamondback which what they estimated was 5 hours, and it was wrapped around near The Crypt (I finally gave in to call it that). I ended up waiting for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to ride, let me tell you, it was worth it and a whole bunch more. The time went by fast by the nice people I waited with. I actually had fun waiting. I was amazed by the frist drop. I didn't staple myself, but I didn't have too much room, but the airtime was awe-inspiring. By the splashdown, I had a tear in my eye. Maybe it was the sheer speed or maybe it was how awesome the ride was. I couldn't tell. Second ride: Reptar My brother arrived with my mom, about the time I got off Diamondback. I decided to take him on Reptar, which was a 30 min wait. I didn't like it much, but he did, and I was happy for him. Third ride: Advencha Express I took my brother, who is 48" this summer, on AE, and he loved that too. It was all the way out of the entrance, and the entire queue was SWARMING with bees. Fourth ride: Flight Deck This ride, also packed, was pretty fun. Fifth ride: The Crypt I was very surprised with this ride. The new area around it looks very cool, and I love it. They used little torch lights in the queue that I think might have been used when it was TR:TR, instead of the ugly red floodlights. The ride broke down twice while in line, and twice not in queue. I got up to the original preshow room, and the big demon things on the other side of the room from The Bat were illuminated. I got into the ride, and THEY PLAYED THE DRUMS AND FLUTES SCORE! I was so excited. It sorta felt like the ride system changed, but I'm not sure. It always feels like it changes. Sixth ride: SDATHC This line was supposedly 45 minutes, but it took about 20. My brother had tried to ride this 4 times over last summer, and was too scared. I FINALLY got him to ride this time. He loved it. DEPARTURE TIME: Approximately 5:02 PM. Here's my on-ride photo from DB. I was screaming "YEAH" with my hands up the whole time. At the crest of the hill, I just let go and enjoyed it. I am on the outside row on your left. That's my brother screaming next to me. (Not the one who just became 48") In front of me on the left is my friend Danielle and my dad on the other side.

YES YES YES YES. I loved it so much, and how about you?

I was there today, to get my pass, and they said on the sign WWC, Congo Falls, Action Theater and Scrambler were all closed.

It is sooooooo flat.I can barely see Diamondback from the parking lot. Haha, wait what is this Diamondback you speak of? I thought we got a thrill ride?

I saw you! Very cool, very cool. You're so lucky, my parents said "You can't blow your money off on a ride you can ride for free later"

Okay. I'll make sure to tune in.

When will you be on the news?

Haha, I knew they wouldn't have my size. I wear adult S-M. I'll wear it I don't care.

Great, Ty! I like this!

I also got 100%. I just guessed on the Fresh Horses one, but got it right.

Oh my gosh! Her face is priceless!

Run straight for Diamondback, then hit Beast, TR:TR (Crypt), and AE. If I have enough time, I'll probably hit SOB and FOF.

I have been on Kumba, SheiKra, Montu, Kraken, Wildfire and others, but I have never been able to experience a B&M Hyper, and I'm psyched. I have to say all the B&Ms I've ridden were absolutely awesome. Awesome.

I totally agree. As much as I wish for the loop to return, it's so unlikely.

I heard some rumors about SOB's loop being unassembeled in the 'graveyard.' Is this true? (I searched, and found nothing)

Don't get me wrong, I love the stuff, and crave it, but I wouldn't say I'm addicted.. IMO, Graeters there is better.

I just saw a part on News 5 about DB and KI opening. They were showing pictures of the UNCOMPLETE track.. Also, they said that it opened April 19th I think it'll be funny when people are going to be turned away on the 19th.

I was born July 16, 1996. Just a few months after I was born, the Flight of Fear opened (At the time named The Outer Limits: Flight of Fear) It to this day remains one of my favorite rides. Whoah, talk about deja-vu! CryptRaider, I can assure you that FoF did not open a few months after you were born. It actually opened a few months before you were born. Haha! I would've never caught that. Thanks.

Busch Gardens Africa is an amazing park. Kumba, SheiKra, & Montu are amazing B&M's.

Looks like fun!
