It was a nice day, no rain, perfect temperature...and not surprisingly mobbed at Six Flags.
I decided to go even though I knew it would be packed, but I had a season pass so I didn't care thats much. I got to the parking lot at around 3pm and all I saw were cars, GREAT!...
I told the guy I didn't have my parking pass with me and showed him my season pass. He let me through even though I had no parking pass at all (dirty trick, I know but SF has gotten too much of my $$ already!) So I parked in the pass parking lot and went through the pass gate.
First ride was Rolling Thunder.
Rolling Thunder: 10 minute wait. It seems like they were running the right side for once so I needed to ride it. The line now has a bee hive somewhere and bees were flying all over the place. I got on the back car and we were off. This side isn't as good as the left side.
I now walked over to Viper and saw that the line started near the middle of the fake buildings. They were only running 1 train so I passed by. My bad luck continued with Medusa as the entire line was filled and overflowing out to the Medusa sign. Again I passed.
I now went to the Boardwalk section and waited in line for the Great American Scream Machine.
GASM: 15 minute wait. This ride was bit rougher than last time I went on it but it was still great! I sat near the back so I could get floater air over the hill.
Next was Space Shuttle which was open for once.
Space Shuttle: 10 minute wait (due to slow loading/unloading.) This was a lot of fun despite what people say. I would have gone on again but waiting is unbearable for it.
Now I went to The Lakefront. Skull Mountain had just broke down so I passed by In Movietown Nitro's line was incredible, Batman: the Ride had a long line too, as well at Batman & Robin: The Chiller (which was open!!!) So I went on Stuntman's Freefall
Stuntman's Freefall: wait about 7 minutes. Theres not much to say about Freefall; It's loud and fun! It seemed faster on the way up and at the I got air when we stopped at the top.
In the Old Country I went on Pendulum first then Spinmeister.
Pendulum: 5 minute wait. It's the same as it's always been. It starts off slow and not swinging too high, then it speeds up in the opposite direction and swings high.
Spinmeister: about 5 minutes. The best Enterprise rides I've been on. Mainly because it's a Schwarzkopf and because it has small cars so you don't slide around.
Next I went to see if Nitro's line let up at all, I didn't think it would but just in case some sort of freak thing happened I checked anyway. Of course it was long. So was Batman: the Ride so I went on the Chiller.
Batman & Robin: The Chiller: 45 minute wait. I love this ride! It's so intense and the lapbars make it a whole new ride. I got in the 4th car and was ready to go. No countdown or anything we were launched out. When I was in line it was still daylight, then we entered the building for most of the line. When we were launched to my surprise it was twilight. I held on at first then let go to see if I would flail around in the Zero-G roll, I didn't too much so I had my hands up for the rest of the ride. I then went to Skull Mountain which was open again and I went on twice with a once cycle wait each time.
I now walked over to Boardwalk again and found that the new Eruption ride was only 8 bucks so I got my ticket and hopped on the 1 cycle line.
Eruption: wait, 1 launch (about 2 minutes.) I got on with some guy and we talked about his daughters that were screaming before the launch and some other extreme rides. The harness on this is like the one on Viper and with a weird lapbar that flips down and you pull inward to your lap. We were hoisted up a bit and with no countdown (like the one before us) we were launched 245 feet into the air. You face down for the launch then level out on top and freefall downward, then you bounce back up to the top and the cars flip so you face straight down. It was a fun ride and g
