Soak City May-26-12

[BB1]

Today I went to SC for relief of the summer sun, but only to come into another struggle, the misadventures of a Australian type of guy. So I started by trying to find seats while it was the GP time of SC, and I found absolutely no seats so me and my friends put our stuff in the grass with other people. We then went to the Coolangatta Racers, which had a small wait for me. Soon after we went back to the Sydney Sidewinder, which had a very short line. So we almost went to Snowy River Rampage, but the line was long. Down Under Thunder had the longest wait for us, which was about 5 minutes. We didnt even try the already one line Crocodile Run. We went back to our items and we found something astonishing, jumping small bugs. This was the start of the worst day at SC. We made our way into the Tidal Wave Bay, which was almost like being in a small can that was shaking back and forth with people bumping into you all the time. I asked some of my friends about what they would give the experience, they said 5, 7, and a -1 (I am not going to say what i would give it) out of 10. I know that this was a once mishap thing, and I am sure that this experience will not happen again. Over all I personally believe its just the crowds, but make sure to get up to SC(or BB to some) early in the morning, it makes the day easy and fun. Hopefully helping you out-BB1

I'm sure it was packed, considering its a holiday weekend. With temperatures in the 90s. At a water park.

Hopefully your next trip is more enjoyable

For some strange reason there was an ambulance and a fire truck going to Soak City when i left KI

I did not see that, something must have happened!

I see no reason to why people go on these dates. With sizzling temperatures, sure you want to swim and go on some slides.... but when the place is packed and it is hot.... its not fun to be there at all. Doesn't sound like your day was too bad.... you are lucky. Thanks for sharing.

Not everyone has flexibility on when they can go. Many people do travel to Cincy/KI over the long weekend. Some people want a place to cool off on a hot day.

There are many reasons for people to go on days like this.

When it is in the mid 90's, the sun is beating down, all I want to do is stay in the water and forgo waiting in line of a water slide. I want to cool off and stay cool. Because of the holiday weekend and the first weekend of Soak City, it is bound to be crowded and I would rather visit after the long holiday weekend.
