First and Last Rides

Featured Replies

Tell us your first and last rides that you been on.

First:

If you are a first rider, then you were on the very first ride of the day.

If you are a last rider, you rode the ride after the park closed.

My First rides:

-Son of Beast

-Delirium

-The Beast

-Firehawk (forgot to add)

My Last rides:

None :(

Like many here, I have often been on the last train of the day (for the public at least) on Beast and the Flying Eagles. I also rode Deja Vu at Six Flags Great America for more than an hour after closing once. That was surreal.

We also shouldn't forget the final rides on The Eagles that Jeff Seibert and the marketing department arranged for us as that ride left the park. No, I was not among the lucky 10 to be in the final cycle.

And just this summer, along with some other posters here, I was on a Millennium Force train a couple of hours after Cedar Point, and Millennium Force, had closed. We had been in line for Maverick, which broke down. Cedar Point very nicely reopened Millennium Force and let us all ride. That was VERY nice of them.

As for first rides, way too many to list, and I won't bore you with them!

First Rides:

Drop Zone

Beast

Recar

Firehawk!

Last Rides:

RACER

That's all for now.

I was one of the lucky ten that Interp mentioned above who got to ride on the last public cycle of the Flying Eagles.

I can recall many years, and no kids, ago where the wife (well before she was actually the wife) and I would make Magnum the last ride(s) of the night.

The crowd in line was always fun, playing volleyball with multiple beachballs or doing the "great taste, less filling" routine.

^I've been in a Magnum line while the beach balls were going too. And there was a live DJ every night. That was a lot of fun.

  • 4 weeks later...

Do you mean first rider ever or first rider of the day?

Highlight of the year...

Firehawk... First Rider. Waited 4.5 hours just for the ride to start working. Definently worth it. My BF and I were on the 6th "train" of the day. I even found a picture of us coming back into the station, we were in the front row, on this site.
