StXBomber Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I wasn't originaly going to visit the park today, but since it was barely raining and it kept people away from the park, the short lines were too good to pass up. I take the trip out to my car to drop off my work shirt and pick up my cell phone, and on my way back I run into Jeff (FamousLastWords). Well, he goes out to his car, and we go back into the park. We heat to AZ and see Tony (Return of Yogi) in his Nick Parade garb. We convinces us to go watch him work in the parade. We had some time, so we hopped on to SoB. Average ride, nothing special. We then go to scope out a spot where the parade starts, right by Zephyr.We still have time, so we get a quick spin on Zephyr. As I rode, I see some parade people come out and get ready (you can see over the fence). I see a girl get into this giant blue costume which I later find out from Jeff (the TV and Movie guru) to be Oswald the Octopus. After the ride, we stand under the games roof next to the Lucky Ducky. We then hear the Spongebob intro to the parade. The doors open up, and there are a bunch of people with whistles. The floats go by, and no sign of Tony. Sure enough, he has the very last float. A little thing that shoots off what looks like soap suds. The turn the corner and we follow Tony. Just around the corner, the floats stop and the interaction begins. Tony and his partner in crime grab some people from the crowd, and even makes one guy pie himself in the face. We decide to stalk him, and see him again at the Eiffel Tower. We head over, and see a massive crowd. We find an empty spot, and see the parade 1 more time. This time, we are on the other side of the route, so we see that Octopus again. All she does is rock back and forth with the music. That job has to get tiring after awhile after a half hour! After seeing the parade twice, we headed over to Spongebob to check out the A-Bomb explode in the background. I had never seen that before, but it is really random and seems to have been thrown in there as an inside joke possibly. Then a ride on Vortex in seat 7-1. Nothing that special. After a ride on Scooters (with very good snaping), we see PKIDiana and DragonLord. After another ride with them, Jeff must leave for home. Me and the other 2 get 1 more ride, and I try to teach them to snap. They do get a few snaps. I leave them to their own things and head over to TRTR to get a ride before I leave. The line is at the tomb entrance, so it's a very short wait. Now to the part that contributes my subtitle. I go to Beast for my final ride of the night, and as I'm walking by greeter, I slip and fall. I have seen many people slip here while I work greeter, so I knew better, but 1 thing was different. The shoes I was wearing were brand new, this was their first day. I guess they hadn't gotten worked in yet, and were became very slick with the water. I get up by myself, and as I continue down the path, I realize my arm is bleeding. No biggie, I get to the station (no line whatsoever) and ask my supervisor for a gauze pad. I pad it down, and stop the bleeding. I wait for front seat (since I had to wait anyway for the bleeding to stop), and see DragonLord and PKIDiana come up the line. At this time, I look at my clothes and they are filthy from the dirt on the path. Oh well, this was gonna be my last ride anyway. I ride in the front row with the slick track, and ave a great ride, then leave the park. Final Thoughts: It's a great idea to visit the park when there is just a bit of rain all day, just be careful about what shoes you bring!

coasterdime Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Too bad you couldn't stay until close. After we saw you exit Beast, we headed back to Scooters for some of the most insane rides any of us have had in a long time. I actually tried to tone my ride down a little...I was that freaked out!

eagles81 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 So you know if I was getting freaked out, things had to be getting serious! James, you were getting some killer snaps. We were all having killer rides, who would have thought #8 had all that potential? :-) Oh well, nothing like our #1 / #2 combo....now if you'd just stop harassing the guests after each ride we'd be doing great! ;-) - Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdime Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 This is a good week to be an Eagles fan. I can't help but to harass. You know me....I love to fight. Besides, how else would we get to meet all of those security guards?! By the way, tonight was ride #563 for me this season...think I'll make 600 by 8/1?

After the Patbot 3000 fires the eye-lasers at SB, an orange mushroom cloud rises up in the background, starting in the center of the screen then going off to the right. It's actually pretty big. I'm surprised it took me as long as it did to notice it. I guess you just naturally focus on S. Bob the whole time. As far as being an inside joke, Stxbomber, it is. Being a fan of the show, I noticed that when something explodes in that show (it could be anything--from cars to buildings to bicycles), it usually results in a mushroom cloud.

DeliriumDreamer Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Not just that, but when SB is the cause of the explosion/mass injury, you hear someone screaming "My leg!". That just might be only in the TV show, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonLord Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I had a blast that night, and seeing everyone was a treat. PKIDi and I rode in the very last seat of The Beast which I have never done before. The air time was awsome, but I did get a little bashed. My seat belt also came undone sometime during the ride...
