Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Man, my dream finally came true on opening day...I got Vortex all to myself....TWICE! (This probably isn't something everybody hasn't experienced at least once). And, for the first time in my life, the thing beat the heck out of me all four times I rode it! Still love it, though. (I wish the photo section had been working, too.) Good old Vortex. It really did a number on me this year. It never made me sick before. Sad to think that, after nineteen years, it might be time to hang up the old iron gauntlets and move on with my life... Naaah! I'll just get more sleep before my next trip. This was a good trip. I was, like, number eight into the gold pass processing line, and saw the most amazing example of teamwork among the PKI staff. The computers were messed up, but the kids running them were so professional and courteous, and the managers looked awesome under pressure. They got it going, and never lost their professional bearing! I just wanted to share that. (We gotta great park, don't we!) Bringing the kids next trip. NU looks cool for them (weird not seeing SDGC or the old Helicopter/Jetson's ride). The Avatar thing looks pretty fun, but the Phantom Flyer thing looked lame (although I'll leave it up to the kids to decide). That's my two cents. Enjoy! Mr. and Mrs. Thrill Biscuit, Mason.

PKIVortex Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've done it before. It's kinda freaky. But fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 That's something I don't think I've ever done. I've been on trains with only a couple other people, but don't think that I've been the only one. That's really kinda erie if ya think about it. <G> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
