Akira1422 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Well, after the car breaking down and getting fixed 400 dollars later, figured it would be a good time to abuse the season pass. So I jump in the car, blast counting crows and start the 3 1/2 hr trip from Greencastle IN. Arrived at exactly 10:01, started the day off with Delirium, moved out to SOB, next to no line, and of all things, it breaks down right before I get on. Something about the seats in one of the cars. Tried waiting it out for about 10 minutes, no luck, so moved back to Delirium, 1 cycle wait. Ran out to top gun, had about a 3-4 cycle wait, which is nothing. Cut right back around and did it again. Started back to Coney Mall, hit alot of the smaller flat rides, Spider, Dodgem, Scramble, whatever ride is right next to the final brakes by The Vortex, the de-virginized myself to the eagles. After 2 runs I started snapping like mad, definatley an awesome ride. Finally got into the big rides, jumped on Vortex about 3 times, was starting to get a little too croweded for my taste, then again, if the line even starts to go up the stairs its getting bad for me. Cut back over to Racer, backwards is FINALLY running (thank you pki!) Hit that about 3 times, couldnt help but laugh at the kids behind me, said that Racer was rough.. Somehow they thought it was rougher than SOB... *shrugs* Back to The Vortex, this was just to check how long the line was for The Beast. Not bad, only problem was on The Vortex, some little *@#$%# thought he would be cute and start spitting. got hit lightly about 3 times throughout the ride. Soon as it stopped I jumped outta the seat ran up to one of the ops and told him, pointed him out, the op couldnt leave the ride. By this time I was steaming with anger. Followed him out, told him not to ride The Vortex again, they were watching for him. He ignored me, but his friend started talking back to me. I'm not violent, and didnt want to let my day get ruined by some 14-15 yr old. So I just walked off. (If anyone was on that ride, it was the kid with the black shirt, tan shorts and tan bandanna) Jumped to The Beast once, and moved on with my day. Hit potato works, got a drink and some deep friend refreshment. Had a handful of quarters, so I decided to go soak some people on WWC. The rest of the day it slowly started emptying out. Hit all the coasters except for Face/Off, and FoF, didnt get DZ either. Killed time til about 10pm, when it was FINALLY dark. Hit SOB, got done and they let us stay in our seats if we wanted since it was empty. Rode that about 4 times, in case no one knows, the smoothest seat is in the middle of the car you're in. I have some small back problems, so the middle of the back car was the best. I ride everything there. was getting to be around 10:30, decided that I needed to hit TR:TR. Even though its a dark ride, riding it at night was amazing!! Best run I've ever had on TR:TR. 11pm, Beast time! Hit the back car, middle seat, had to run through the line again, which was going down every ride. By the 3rd run it was empty. The awesome ride ops let us stay in our seats if no one was there. 6 rides later, in the same seat, the last run came around. Rode one last time and screamed my lungs out. (lost my voice the next day... hehe) Ended up crashing at the rest stop just inside Indiana. By far the best PKI trip I've ever had, and I've had some awesome ones. For closing, of all things, my car broke down again, right off of the 70 exit by my place. Shifter was stuck in 2nd, 30 bux later its fixed, it was worth the trip though. Until next time....
