PKI Day Tripper

My wife and I and our 2 1/2 year old son live 3.5 hours away from PKI. We bought a season pass halfway through the year last year. Last summer we went to PKI and knew we would be coming at least 2 more times so we upgraded our one day ticket to a season pass. We decieded, because we love PKI and our son is now a PKI addict that we would get a season pass for 2004 and well. We were looking foward all last week to preview day. On Saturday night, we knew that it would be cold, and had to really think about if we wanted to come all that way. Would it be too cold for our son to have fun? Would it be too cold for us to have fun? On sunday morning about 8:30 we decieded that we would chance it. We hopped in our Jeep and headed on over. We actually got started at about 9:30 and by the time we got there it was 1pm. 2pm PKI time. We then found out the park would close at 5. We were kinda dissapointed...only 3 hours. But, here is the thing. We went for our son. When we want to ride TRTR, DZ, Beast, SOB, F/O, or FoF, we take someone else with us to watch our child while we ride. But not today...this was for the three of us. WE HAD A BLAST!!! Our son is really started to recognize things in the park, and has some favorite rides that he cries at when they are over. Not because he is scared, but because the ride is over. I think this makes some of the crews in HBL nervous, because they ask if he is ok. Yeah we say, don't worry, he is just mad because the ride is finished. (that's my boy!) I guess that what i am trying to say is that i think i need to quit reading this post, beacuse it is actually starting to ruin the good time we had yesterday. I didn't expect everything to be perfect. Quite the contrary, and personally I wasn't even upset that I couldn't ride SOB. My face hurt just thinking about it. But for our son...it was PERFECT...it was everything he could want, no lines, fun fun fun, and it wasn't even that cold in the afternoon...there was one time I actually had to take off my jacket. Benjamin only had one complaint and that was the Eiffel Tower was closed. But, he got over it. Maybe all of you complaing about the preview day should take a lesson from a 2 year old. You might learn a lot. PKI DAY TRIPPER

Is anyone going to be there for the Pass Preview on the fourth? Just wondering.

I remember the Banyan Curve, but I never got to ride it. What was the Rotor? I remember The Tumble Bug. It was a pretty fun ride when I was a kid. I remember how fast the Banyan Curve went. I was a kid so I thought it was VERY fast. That's probably why I never rode it. Info on ROTOR? thanks Tripper
