Creed Bratton Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yesterday, 6/20/2010 was a long hot day at the park, but a really great one! I ended up getting to ERT, riding Diamondback first making that ride my 271st ride since it has opened, then headed to Beast. Beast ran really smooth in the morning! Then headed back to Diamondback because the main line wasn't very packed and I went through the SRL being by myself. I stayed at Diamondback until 11:30 when I need to get a break for water and shade! Before I saught out the water and shade I ran over to the Crypt. The line was packed! It was great to see that it got some loving yesterday. After getting off I went to the Festhaus and sat to eat and drink water. I however didn't know that the new country show had already started, so that was a nice little treat! I then ran to Vortex to get a ride in. Back to Crypt for a second ride. Then to Diamondback in and out of the SRL fun til about 5ish. I got to my 300th ride yesterday and rode with Gary Coleman! It was a blast! I really couldn't believe that I got that many rides so far and 30 in a day! I then took and Gary proceded to buy me my ride photo! Which was really sweet! I then took another break, from the heat....went and rode the Dodgems and then met up with some friends. We rode Flight Deck, Delirium, the Viking Ship Diamondback (301) Backlot Stunt Coaster and then ended with a ride on Drop Tower. It was a really rewarding day! I'm happy with the way the day went!

Kirk Sheppard Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Gary is a super guy (I fill in for him sometimes on the keyboards at our church) and its fun to see him have some "celebrity status" here. He told me about his habit of pointing at the rider next to him for the photo and its fun to see him doing it here. Thanks for sharing!

Creed Bratton Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hahaha! All smiles here!!! Jasper, it's not my favorite ride out there however it is great to cool off by and it's fun to operate when I get sent there to work! Barvarian all I have to say is hahaha! It's kinda funny because I have three people I refer to as Gary Coleman (both Gary Colemans celebrity and KI Gary, and then a guy who goes to the same bar I do that looks like the celeb!) Haha! Kirk, you know Gary is probably one of my favorite park patrons that I see when I'm working. He is the sweetest guy, funny, he has even talked to my supervisors about me doing a good job when I've had a complaint, not to mention he has Lifesavor's Mints!!!! But I'm very happy with the outcome of the picture and grateful that he bought it for me, when I didn't even ask. The picture will be displayed for a good while!
