KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 So we started off Friday at around 3:00 PM. We arrived at GWL at around 6 to very strong storms. So I of course hurry to the weather channel to see that tomorrow is Strong Thunderstorms. Great. So we head off to the water park to find that all the slides that went outside were closed because of the storms. It was closed all night u till the last hour. We quickly rode all the rides and called it a night. When we woke up for the JDRF 5k it was pouring the rain. (the reason we were here in the first place is because I am a Type 1 Diabetic). So we started off the race to a rainy start. It quickly stopped and I had one of the best runs of my life! We got great views of SoB, WindSeeker, Beast, and the whiole park! We finished in the top 10 out of about 200. We got my platnium pass processed and headed to the GWL for a quick rest. We heaed to the park and hopped on Diamondback for my 50 ride (rode DB 5 times today). We pretty much rode everything at 3 so headed to the GWL to take a quick nap. We headed back to the park at 5:30 and rode Firehawk, DB, and Delirium. We then left the park and headed back to the GWL to finish off the day. Overall we had a great day and even though the forecast was awful!!! We still had a wonderful time and didn't rain past 8:30 AM on Sarurday. And, also they were vertically testing WS, but it was not spinning. I will try and upload pictures soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondback FOF Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Oh wow, I would've thought it'd be a bit more competitive! That still isn't a bad time, it's great you jogged it, and top 10 is awesome!! Do you know what the winning time was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Oh yes, it wasn't very competitive at all! I guess more people will come out if its less competitive. I'm not for sure, but I'd say he finished in about 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Sorry for how big they are, still trying to figure that out. But they aren't half bad for an iPhone camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Nice pics. If I had the means, I'd get 50 "enthusiasts" to go buy WindSeeker shirts and all line up in the WS queue asking "will this open soon? I am so pumped! This is going to be awesome!!!"....
