We started our day off by getting to the park around 1:25pm, and going over to Action Zone. From going on Friday nights and seeing it pack, then seeing the crowds today was good to see. We went over to Delirium with a one cycle wait, I still like the feeling it gives, from how smooth it is. Next was Drop Tower, it was a walk-on. Going up and seeing the parking lot being really light, and seeing the area is always breathtaking, the drop is always fun to . Then it was on to Invertigo, which again was a one cycle wait. After that we walked over to Flight Deck for a one cycle front seat, the cool air made my eyes water up, even with my sunglasses on, so I had to keep my eye's closed part way. Then we got on Son of Beast, it was a one cycle wait for the front seat. It was pretty much smooth, except at the bottom of the double helix. I noticed the Ice cream in the machine next to the restroom was four dollars for everything thing, I think that's way to much for something that's gone in two to three minutes. It was 2:26pm.

Then we walked though Oktoberfest, and got on Adventure Express, with again no wait for front seat. Then it was on to Racer red, it was really smooth in 3-2. I wanted to ride Flight of Fear, during the summer the line was always spilling out the building, there was a one cycle wait. I still like it, just towards the back. We go over to Firehawk and get in line, well there was only one train running. It was a straight line back to the turn styles, I didn't think it was worth waiting, no telling how long it would have took to get on. So back on to Flight of Fear, we sat towards the front, which was a bit for rougher, it was 3:07 by now. We left and headed for Vortex, again one cycle wait with three trains, they were stacking them before we got in line and after we left. It was on to BackLot, now on one of the Friday nights we were there, they had somebody telling you what row to go to, when there was no line. But when there is a line, there's nobody doing this so the station fills up. We waited for 1-2, a ten minute wait, now it was 3:42.

I started to take pictures of the construction area, and comparing them to pictures I took back in Aug. Then we went to The Beast, again a walk-on, now I thought they had replaced the round wheels with egg shaped wheels. That's what it felt really felt like, we were sitting in 2-2. We thought it was just the train (train three) so we rode again in train two in 2-2, which was much better. To me the helix some times is smoother the rest of the ride. It was 4:17 now.

We got on the train for a spin, I thought they were doing that pumpkin thing but no. Then we walked thought RiverTown, and Nick U, to the Eiffel Tower. I tried to take a panoramic shot of the area, I'll post it later when its all done. And I took more pictures of Diamondback, to compare with pictures I took back in Aug. I was starting to get tired, but we went back to Action Zone to ride Delirium and Drop Tower one more time before leaving. We left at 5:46.

I'll post my pictures later.
