This is my first Trip Report so bear with me

Arrive at the park at 7 PM.

Went and did Son of Beast about an hour wait only the blue train woke up today it looked like. The line was down both ramps and starting on the 3rd. As I was waiting they operator said the ride reached speeds of 83 MPH. I was shocked that it is faster than it was prior to the accident.

Then it was on to Drop Zone. The line was a walk on. I didnt realize how much I missed it till it started up. Great Ride.

Then it was about 8:30 so I headed to Firehawk waited there about 35 mins. I like how they have the attendants telling you where to go makes that part of the line less crowded in the station.

Got off it about 9:10 or so. Headed over to the Italian Job fun ride at night.

Since it was a short wait I thought I'd end this great night on a good note and got a good Beast ride in. I was on the final ride prior to the fireworks shutting down. It was great. There were no lights anywhere except those spotlights. They even turned the 2nd hill tunnel lights back off. It was phenomenal.

Watched the fireworks while walking back to the car.

Overall great night not croweded.

On a side note Tomb Raider was shut down today maybe they are fixing everything inside of it.

83 huh?

Did you over hear that or did they actually tell you that. I think that they were BS-ing you.

On July 4, 2007; when the ride reopened, they were also spieling that it is the world's tallest and fastest wooden coaster. I am not at all sure that latter part is still true. . .
