Alright, so it's not a full trip report, but it was the first time I got to do some riding this year...


I was working, and myself and another guy on my crew were not needed for two hours, so we went riding. For the first little while, I was also with two other guys from my crew... anywho, We first rode Cliffhanger. It was my first time riding it, and I didn't find it to be very good. Apparently it wasn't running that good, but I still think there is too much time just sitting there, then the whole headrush thing... not my cup 'o tea.

We then went on Dragon Fire. We took the last car. Man, this thing was running great. Very fast, and one of the best first drops in the park. Me likes.

At this point, the two guys who joined us went back to our rides, and myself and the other guy continued over to Skyflyer. Great ride, for once I got the tummy- feeling on the drop... I was fearing I was becoming immune to it...

After that, headed over to the Minebuster, and rode 5-1. Good ride, but not great. Some airtime, but it's been better. It was so-so.

Went back over to Vortex, rode front seat. Still a very fast ride, despite being so cold (Did I mention it snowed today and yesterday?). Just that one stretch of track is getting rough, the rest is still amazing.

I then went over to Shockwave for a final ride. Rode the money seat, and had a psychotic ride. This thing is insane, if you know where to sit

Despite what anyone tells you, there is one arm that is better than all the rest. After seeing it cycle hundreds of times, let me tell you, make every effort to ride in arm #1, it's the green one on the left. It has a tendency to stick more than the other ones, and it's just insane. I love it.

After that ride, I went back to work
