jcgoble3 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Depends on the itinerary for the GOCC event that day. If it doesn't conflict, I plan to do the luau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webble78 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 My daughter and I are going. One question as it's been years since we've been to Soak City. Will they allow you to wear water shoes? The concrete there is extremely hard on my feet and I don't want to go bare foot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Water shoes can be worn for the most part, however on some slides (body slides and possibly some others) you will be required to take them off and hold them in your hands as you go down. Also on the surfing thing (I can't remember its name right now), you'll take the shoes off and toss them into the wave; they'll wash to the exit and you can pick them up there when you're done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webble78 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yeah no worries on the surf thing! Broke a rib on it a couple years ago. My accident prone body is not made for it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 What kind of food is it? I wish I could have made it there tonight but it wasn't in the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf21972 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 The line is way to long for food. They had tropical fruit and mango chicken sliders and other treats but here is a picture of half the line . Didn't wanna waste my time for food.

malem Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Never underestimate what people will put up with for free food. By the way, according to Greg via Twitter, Fast Lane and Fast Lane Plus sold out today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Ride lines were not horrible today I've seen worse. Did the luau didn't wait in that line but it was fun doing some Soak City things later in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I did the luau. I was first on Mondo Monsoon at 8:30, then quickly did Rendevous Run with almost no wait before getting in the food line about 8:45. I finally reached the serving line and got my food just as the fireworks began at 10:00 (side note: I had a perfect, unobstructed view of the fireworks, and not only that but it was close to a speaker, so I could hear the soundtrack for the fireworks as well). I did manage to sneak another ride on Mondo Monsoon before closing. I cannot believe that they started with only a single serving line. At some point while I was in line, they grabbed some extra tables and used them to set up a makeshift second serving line, but it still wasn't enough. They should have had AT LEAST four serving lines, if not six, for a crowd that size. They severely underestimated how many people would come in for it. Quite a few people were in street clothes, apparently just coming for the free food. As for the menu, it was fruit, pulled pork sliders, corn dogs, and shrimp coсktail, among other things that I don't remember. It was a very nice selection. As for ride queues, I barely rode anything during the day. After Banshee and Diamondback ERT (with the GOCC event), I only rode one thrill ride in the dry park between 10:00 AM and 11:30 PM, and that because I won a front-of-the-line pass at a spin-the-wheel game (I used it on Banshee, of course). However, right before closing, both Drop Tower and Delirium were walk-ons, and Banshee looked like a walk-on from the midway as well. So there was value in sticking it out until midnight. Soak City in the evening had typical afternoon/early evening lines; it honestly doesn't seem like Soak City gets longer lines on Saturdays. I think the extra crowds just fill up the wave pools, Coconut Cove, and the kiddie pools. (edited because I'm tired of the boards censoring those four letters when it's virtually always a false positive) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Was anyone at the park today to view line queues ? Sent from my iPhone using Taptalk Lines weren't terrible yesterday but still a bit long. I only went on 3 coasters, but I was mostly there for the dinos, so the lines didn't bother me too much. Vortex's line looked long-ish, but moved quickly, and Firehawk's line was approx. an hour and a half and semi-slow moving. Adventure Express at night was literally a walk-on ( ) as the park was pretty dead around midnight and Cirque (7 PM show) was packed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
