StXBomber Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I was going to post this last night and be the first to announce Bubba Gumps, but my computer crashed. I started by meeting my group of friends at 9:30 at front gate and we headed to the coney mall entrance and waited for the gate to lower. We first head over to FoF to say hi to my crew and to play "dumb guest" (Where does this seat belt go?). Of course, this gets me an extra push on my lap bar, giving me a very tight ride. It's still the best coaster in the park, even with an extra tight lap bar! After that, we decide to head to AZ because one of the people in our group hadn't ridden it yet. On the way we hit Racer, because recaR wasn't working. This was my first time on Racer this year, and it's still the same (I still think recaR is better). After some begging from a girl in our group, we ride Adventure Express. This was my first ride on it this year. As the train was dispatching, one operator was making fun of FoF crew by waving her thumb wildly. As soon as she told me exactly what crew she was making fun of, I politely informed her that I was on FoF crew. This made the driver and girl doing the joke instantly start cracking up. This was a good start to the ride. It would be a good ride, if it were not for many things. The guy at the end is still cyclops, and the theming is just so corny. It's also very rough! I don't remember it being so rough! We then head over to the looming Delirium. We wait only about 4 rides or so, then get on. A great ride, as always. My friends loved it. After that, Face/Off was broken and Drop Zone had a long line, so we convince the girls to ride SoB with us (I had to see these new restraints). To do this, I promised that I'd sit in the back of a car, so I had a very rough ride. The new bars don't seem to help it from being rough. After this rough ride, we head to SDatHC for some Scooby action. Out of the group of 5, I tied for first with one other person with a score of 870. We then start heading to RT where I get an ICEE (I LOVE those things!) and we all get some LaRosas Pizza. After a nice lunch, we go on over to The Beast. It was a great ride, until one of the people in our group reached over the seat into the seat next to me, and knocked off the glasses of one of the girls in our group. And with the speed the train is going through the 3rd tunnel (first time through helix), I'm afraid they are broken. Since she was upset about losing her glasses, we decided she could pick the next ride, and she wanted a kiddy ride. So on our way to HBL/NC, we pass TRTR and see that it is still closed. We go by WTRA and see that it has a long line, and since I wanted a new ride, we go on Reptar. FIRST TIME RIDE REVIEW: Yes, this was my first time on this EVER, and I must say, it's not that bad! I didn't really pay attention to the movie before the ride, but it gives the little ones something to do while waiting. We get into the station and head right to the front seat. As we were waiting to depart, I see the ride ops playing a joke on another ride, with a guy pretending to be a girl on the phone. That gave me a laugh. Well, the ride starts and instantly start screaming like a maniac (which I do on almost every kiddie ride with my friends) and after awhile, I realize it's actually a pretty good ride as long as you sit in the front seat! I stopped my screaming and enjoyed the ride for what it was. After this, I can't remember the order of rides, but here's my review of the other rides we rode after this: I rode DZ for the first time this year, and forgot how scary the drop is! I was gripping the handle so hard! recaR opened back up later in the day, and we rode that. Once again, a great ride! Love that air-time! We all rode Dodgems, and this was my first time riding it in a long time. I loved it! Try to go the whole cycle driving the wrong way, and not hit anyone (or get hit). It's too hard! We rode Vortex, still hard on the neck, and I got stuck in the back seat of a car, but at least it was the very back, so it wasn't that bad. Eagles are back to full cycle! One girl sat out this ride (she was feeling sick) said it looked like my Eagle had lost control I was snapping it so much! Ah, love dem Eagles! Well, that pretty much sums it up! Also, as said in an earlier TR for this day, Bubba Gumps is now completely open. Yes, ALL of it, not just the back porch thing, the restaurant itself it now open. I didn't get to go inside, but the outside looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
