Well made it out to IOA this weekend and had a great time.... I went with my friend Giselle (seen in the BigShot pictures on the site ) Nice weather short waits = great time :thumbsup:
First went to Dr. Doom, short wait maybe 5 mins, up and down, and then out again.. Still a good rush... althought no Big Shot! 
For some reason was feeling jump so we headed over to Ripsaw Falls, got soaked as usuall but only waited about 10 minutes.
Headed from there to Jurrasic Park, again 5 minute wait, everything was running expect the two tiny Compy's fighting over the shirt, got a bit more wet than usual.
After JP, went to the Dragons, hit Ice first, 1 minute wait, and did the rentry right into Fire, 0 minute wait. Both we're running great, but I still like Fire much better.
Headed around the park again, and road Cat In the Hat, still mostly for kiddies, but a great break.. no wait at all.
Decided to grab some lunch at the resturant next to JP River Adventure (The name escapes me) The Terrace something, anyways, it's become my favorite place in the park to grab some grub.
After that we headed back to The Hulk and waited about 5 minutes, I was thinking the back really isn't that bad, it's just the beginning is so damn good... second favorite besides Fire
After that jumped on Spider man, probably a 10 minute wait, they've added tons of affects, the intro movie has been changed since the WTC attacks, but it was something different at least.
We decided to hit Maragarativille for a few beers since it was clouding up, was cloudy but nice weather.
After that we headed back to The Dragons rode fire twice and ice once, first two times we're no wait (the second the took a train off each side so they were only running one, still no wait afterwords) It was cool seeing them remove the cars, never actually saw it before.
We ended the day with one last trip on Dr. Doom and once on the Hulk.
All in all it was a great day, I guess the tradegy has really affected attendence, and mixed with the slow time of year its wide open. They are offering passes to the end of the year, but didn't seem to be packed with too many people picking them up.
