harmony29 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 We got loaded on Banshee Friday and I swear as soon as we were locked in it started pouring. Rain never bothered me til then, I was wearing shorts and it was the most painful ride ever. Anyone going today? We are about 10 min from the park now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvingKI Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 What made it so painful? Sliding around or the rain hitting you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Riding coasters in the rain with exposed skin can indeed be painful. I rode Maverick in moderate rain back in 2011. The rain hitting my face felt like a thousand needles. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallyomalley Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 So my wife and I noticed this gem inside one of the claw machines in the arcade. I am unsure what to make of it. Is this a thing or am I having an old man get off my lawn moment. Please enlighten me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I think they are all pretty tasteless. Surprising for a park that prides itself for a family atmosphere.Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Yep, I think you are getting old. Unless Beavis and Butthead, The Simpson’s and South Park got your panties in a bunch 25 years ago. Then it’s just you. It’s Rick and Morty. The fanbase is so large is can throw McDonald’s Corporate in a into a tizzy. My kids watch it and so do 97% of college students. Fine, I get off your darn lawn. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check ye olde trusty interweb and see about this Rick and Morty. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KImom Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 So who all got drenched yesterday?? lol! It was the perfect day until about 5pm when the rain moved in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I did! Thankfully, I was in Festhaus when the storm hit, but I left like 30 minutes afterwards. Before the storm, I did The Bat, Drop Zone, Congo Falls (it was really hot at this point in the day, around 12 or so...), Mystic Timbers, Train and Adventure Express, saw Harlem Globetrotters and Real Live Humans twice each (was that you, @harmony29 that I saw on stage at the 1 PM Globetrotters show?) ate at Coney BBQ, and still managed to fit in some Pokemon hunting (as well as 2 Raids). So, yeah, it was a full day before the storm. EDIT: I'm curious to know if anyone was there after the storm (or did it rain the whole time lol)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt112986 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Rain stopped about an hour and a half before close, everything was a walk on except a sub 10 min Diamondback. Got off of FOF around 7 and did Beast, Mystic Timbers and Diamondback 4 times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know which ones might be missed out on right now? It's hard to predict, depends on park availability for staffing. Since UC is done for the semester, they'll likely be fine. It was more of a problem when UC's Spring quarter ended in June. Some of the smaller rides in Planet Snoopy might be closed, possibly a flat ride or two. The big thrill rides are the last ones that they will close if they have to. During Math and Science Days the last time I was at the park (2010), I would come in around 10:15 as I got out of class at 9:50 and run The Vortex until noon or so when other people were available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmony29 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 We headed to coney bbq when the dark clouds started coming in. It let up enough that we got up to Starbucks right when it started again, we sat in there for probably a half hour or so until it let up a bit more and we left. 6 hours ago, MDMC01 said: I did!

No it wasn't me up there, it was my husband, tall, bald head, he was the one that had to do a little dance after playing with the ball. He was so ecstatic, he had never seen them and was thrilled when they picked him to go up. I unfortunately was over near sweet spot by the fountains standing up. I got video of it but it was so far away you can't see it very well. I had to sit for a while which was why i wasn't up close with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I need to create an account for him, I always tell him what we all talk about on here but he's not real tech savvy so I need to set it all up for him lol. He still is talking about having been picked to go on stage, he put his autographed pic in our China cabinet, I swear like a little kid lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had the pleasure of riding sob lol but I have a feeling I probably would have hated it. I've rode Valrayvn and GateKeeper at CP in the rain but it was in the fall and I had layers of clothes on so it wasn't too bad but wow having shorts on was a whole different experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 So, this was new from last time I rode Firehawk last year. The fencing around the track as one exited the ride used to be chain link. It is now this, all the way around. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I used to like to look through the chain link to see if any change had fallen from people's pockets on the brake run, so it became quickly evident to me something had changed. It also feels very claustrophobic even though the actual dimensions of the path haven't changed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
