Opening Day TR, Since everyone else is doing one

[markhudson17]

Left Sabina around 745 and headed to pick up my two other guests. After a drive that seemed to last an eternity, we arrived at the park around 930. After my friends got their passes processed, it was about 1015, and we headed into the park.

As soon as we got in the gate, I saw a few KIC members, and spoke briefly to Rachel (StalkerChick). I wanted to have Beast as my 2011 opener, but it was down. I then headed with my group to Adventure Express, my first coaster of the season. After waiting around 20 minutes, we got on the ride. After AE, we went over to Flight Deck. But guess what, closed. So instead, we headed over to Racer, where they were only running the blue side at the time. Saw Rachel and her group again, about 30 feet behind us in line. Waited around 30 minutes, and to my surprise, blue wasn't running too bad. After exiting the ride, and heading across the park, I heard that Racer had to be evac'ed, with the KIC crew in it. Wanted to ride Vortex, but it was down as well.

Headed out to the parking lot for lunch, and couldn't find the car. Searched about 20 minutes, and found out we had passed it up multiple times.

After lunch, we headed back into the park, and went up the Eiffel Tower to get a look around. Then we went over and rode KI/MVRR to just relax. We were going to ride Beast, but the line looked horrendous, so we headed to Diamondback instead. While the line looked long, we only waited about an hour, and had an amazing ride. We took another spin on the train after DB, then had us some Dippin Dots

At this point in the day, my ankle was starting to give me fits, so we decided to call it a day. Overall, it wasn't a bad day, except for the constant breakdowns.

Nice report. Thanks for sharing. My first coaster of the season was Diamondback, a great way to start the season.
