deb Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 We took a trip to KI on Saturday and ride almost everything we didn't get to before. Started the day with a trip to BB, Just to go on Crocodile Run, The Rapids thingy, and "Tazzy". The Rapids were closed (darnit) and we got in the lazy river and boy was it cold! Then we went and got a drink armband, GOLD, got some cools offs (drinks) and then headed for taz to the tune of about 45 mins wait on the right line. I got to go down backwards (which I love!) and I think taz ate my contact. I went right contactless and didn't even know it, LOL! Went to conquer my fear of SoB. Stood in like for what seemed liked an eternity (1.5 hours to be exact) and then when really got up there I got some nerves. I was grouching that it was so long, didn't want to ride, etc.... but I conquered it anyways. And I loved it. Rode in the rear seat, front. I kept my eyes closed til we were almost going down the first drop. Then I enjoyed it, holding on so I didn't double over. It's no Beast, but it's great. The mid STOP messed with me... just before where the loop was.. and the loop area was kinda boring, but oh well. Got off SoB and went to see about Vortex. The line was ridiculous, out to the spot where the tattoo painting is. Here we went to BB and sold our key and got stuff and went to the car to eat. Timing was just right, cause the Full Throttle guy was there, and man, that stuff was delish! Went back in, got to take in drinks (that's NEW to me) and decided to go to the Crypt. It was closed. Back tracked and stopped at BLSC which we waited about 45 mins in line. Got the back. Nice ride. Walked over to FoF because it's been like 3 yrs since I'd ridden it. Wow, the theming was all on. Didn't care for FT COOPER in the queque, but whatever. great ride, I was paying attention to see where we were, instead of enjoying the ride. Flashback 2007, KIC Day! Checked Vortex line again as it was 8 something, still the same. We wanted a night ride on The Beast, so we went and got in line, and waited forever, really. Got in line at 8:30. Got our ride AFTER the fireworks, because everyone and their brother was there, and a lot of ppl had left. Some guy got escorted off the ride with his wife and child in tow. We made buddies with a couple that goes around doing promo stuff cause one of our friends could BURP like a man (she's not). LOL. We yelled obscenities on our beast ride. We were the loudest train. 4th after the all clear. Then we headed home. Had a great trip. Can't wait til next sat! deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see the guy get escorted out, but I don't know what he was doing. We were 6 or 7 trains in the back seat after the fireworks. I don't think that I have waited that long to ride The Beast since before I was tall enough to ride and my parents made me wait in line with them just to sit in the kiddie corral that they used to have. All of the que lines were being used. We were going to spend most of the day in BB because I just went to the park on Wed, but it was too cold for us. We did, however, fit 5 adults in the Wild Thornberry's log ride. I have never gotten so drenched on a log ride before in my life. I was stuck in the front and had nowhere to go. After the hill there was a big wave of water that just came over the front of the boat and then the elephant poured more water on us.

Yeah, it was a bit nippy to be in BB yesterday, same today I'd say. If you heard the ruckus at the exit... with the girl that had a huge burp that was us. I'm not the burper, either. deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
