Last season before the park opened they had a really good mashup of different songs to go with the opening countdown. Second would be Black Balloon by Goo Goo Dolls echoing through the park during a pretty empty park at sunset during a nice summer day. I also remember back in the paramount days leaving the park as the Top Gun anthem played at International Street

As a follow up story, during an extra ride time at the park where The Beast and Diamondback had an hour (pretty sure it was an hour) of extra ride time i got a night ride of The Beast in (who could resist) Then i made a terrible mistake. Diamondback had no line, and i marathoned it the rest of the night nonstop. Was if fun? Oh yeah. Did i get really bad motion sickness as soon as i stopped, you bet. No regrets

I don't remember the date, but it was this last season when i conquered my fear of heights. I used to go to the park and not ride anything above The Racers or Bat but still loved the environment at the park, though i had always wanted to get past that fear. During a lot of trips with my roommate last season i would wait off ride while he rode bigger things like Diamondback and Banshee while always trying to get me on as well. Eventually came a day when i went to the park alone, but was determined to make a change, so one arriving i went right in line for The Beast, and loved it, but it still want that significant of a change. I figured the best way to get over it was to just go at it, so after psyching myself up a bit i got on WindSeeker. Of course yeah i was terrified, i had only been up the Eiffel Tower once prior, but once the ride got to the top it was sunset at the park and there was a beautiful view of light streaks across the horizon. Afterwards as if it wasn't enough i headed to Diamondback in which i wound up staring down for a bit before actually getting in line, and never has a line seemed to have moved so fast once i got in, i rode mid train on the brown snake and it was the most fun i have had in the park to date. I remember getting off the ride shaking half thinking i'm not gonna do that again, even though i walked right back in line for one more go.

I usually go ahead and have mine taken, i can get wanting to avoid them though. Last season whenever i didn't go alone i always made my friends with me get their picture with me regardless of how unenthusiastic they were, i mean hey it takes a couple of seconds and a lot of rides are gonna take your picture throughout the day, best to make fun of the situation

After getting off The Bat tonight there was an alarming amount of police officers in the area, two cars pulled up under the ride they got out and were flash light searching in the trees, and as we headed out, more officers were entering and hastily leaving the line. A friend that works at the park who was with us said her best guess was someone jumping a fence, but even then that late and that many offices was really confusing.

Group of friends and i went in this evening and the line was mashed to the front door, needless to say we went elsewhere for food and grabbed some Dollar Hotdogs

Not ert for Diamondback I'm hearing it's closed till roughly noon Just saw there's no trains on the track as of now, never seen that before

Lines are looking waterlogged right now, guess it's time to check out let it rock

Got to the park and all was good then the downpour started right as The Bat went up, so I can safely say I've ridden The Bat as a water ride

Webcams looking like a really good day for rides, im trying to get myself down there for the evening for sure

Time to come back to the forums it looks like (used to frequent here a few years ago) Tonight was an excellent night, The Beast line was again, pretty long first off but died down throughout the ERT, got on there first and headed over to Diamondback and rode, well, i didn't count but my body is not thanking me for that marathon right now Overall, a great night and shoutout to all the employees who stayed the night!
