I find Millie fun on the drop the first turn thru the tunnel then it goes fast but nothing exciting. TTD the launch is great then its over meh. I would like a Maverick type ride.
only problem I have with the single rider is when I get paired with a young girl it feels kind of creepy some times when dad gives that look of disbelief they put his little girl with that old guy.
I also was there on July 3 and yes it was crowded. I did not see any of the problems you Said except for the smoking problem .the one thing I did see was kids sitting on the fences at M.T. and the rail broke.
two years ago I switched from plat to gold had to pay to park then go to guest service for refund scan old card to have gold activated. was much better than pass processing .
I also never got to ride The Bat .I was in line when it stopped.after waiting 20 minutes I said I can ride next year when they have all the bugs out. The next visit it was SBNO.
Ohio license can be renewed 90 day ahead of birthday. Just noticed you live in Kentucky you con renew up to 6 months before your birthday. so you can renew and update with one fee.
