PTR 8/9/13 evening

[YoungStud]

Arrived at Soak City @ 5pm with my wife and daughter. Played with my family at the pirate ship. Wife and daughter did aruba tuba for the first time. Went to the kids area(place with the huge cylinder of water that turns over) rode some slides as a family. Did two laps in the spring river while holding my baby. Wife and I took turns on the 4 way waterslide as it was less than a 5min wait. I went on rendezvous run as it was a walk on. Flipped over in the tube and lost my mat, finished the ride sliding backwards on my back through the tube and down the hill, it was awsome. Wife and baby were scared. Did the new wave pool for two cycles.

IT was about 7pm, so we made our way to the truck. We chowed down on turkey sandwiches and water. Went into the park and got my baby Sally a peanunts Sally doll. We gave her the option of the small or big doll and she chose the small one(cha-ching) $6 difference.

I rode Delirium as it was a walk on. Wife wanted to ride Invertiblow, but the wait wasn't worth it as the baby wanted to go to Planet Snoopy. We stopped and did the carousel as it was a walk on. I love riding it with my baby. As we were getting on I lifted a handicap gentleman off his horse.

After the carousel wife and baby stopped at the family bathroom and I saw this gentleman:

The first thing that popped in my head was beer, so i quickly bought and shotgunned it by larossa's before the wife and baby got out of the famliy bathroom.(Wife and I does not like baby seeing daddy drinking).

I looked over and saw Diamondback down:

They sent empty trains a couple time and it was idle for a while. probably 30 minutes.

We hit up whirly birds, red baron, peanuts 500.

I started to Diamondback and they loaded a train so I was the first one in after they opened the line. Ten minute wait for the last row. I was dissapointed in the airtime. I thought I was going to get air time on the hill before the onride photo but the trim grabbed. I will be going to CP in a month so I will get my airtime fix on Magnum. Wish I had a trip planned to hershey, great adventure, and SFNE but I don't at the moment. I got my parent swap paper initialed as it was around a 30 minute wait as people were funneling in.

Met up with the family and wife headed to Diamondback so baby and I hit up the great pumpkin coaster which was a walk on. Great ride as usual.

Walked down to DB to meet the wife and she was not happy with her ride either. She is excited for our CP trip as she loves MF, TTD, Maverick, and wicked twister.

We hit up joe cool dodgem school where my baby was running into kids alot bigger than her. She did the charlie brown fast ball or something, We then hit up the whiparound cars and the train.

We walked over to WindSeeker so the baby can see the lights on it and we sat on a bench and watched the fireworks. Thats a great spot. We then headed home.

Thanks for the PTR!

Is that a walking cane I see?

[disco2000]

I saw that same dude down near Vortex. Didn't see anyone I thought would pass for youngstud; although I did see a dude about the same body size as the one above with a shirt that said "you mad bro"....hmmm

[Jr for Birdy]

I know I have seen those two in the yellow shirts at KI before, more than once.

Huge group that said Shine on the backs of the shirts. Must be band. Big man is consuming around a 1000 calories of pop at a time.
