SixFlagsOverGeorgia Oct11th/Fright fest

wow, i just got back from sfog, had a great day, didnt start off great though, anyways, here's what i did:

went to school, got home, left home at 5:20 to go to sfog, encountered some traffic on I-20 but still got to the park at 6:10
walked in the park, it was pretty crowded, but still no line for scorcher (ONE TRAIN - i dunno why) (2nd row), so it was my first ride, then i went to DejaVu cause my friend had never ridden it, its now her favorite ride, i rode seat 32 she rode 31, (way back) oh and there was a minor breakdown but it was only a 8 mins wait, in total we waited about 40 mins for DejaVu
next ride was SUPeRMAN (one train one station operation)- waited for about 10 mins for front seat, and omg, whoever says there is not a difference between front and back on superman they are lying, in front is soo much less intence, in back you feel like you are about to crap your pants on pretzel loop. well then we went on ninja(one train), rode that a total of 8 freaking times, 5 times without getting off. (front seat is best, back seat sucks soo bad, it really really hurt me, and ninja never did that to me, i actually came off the ride complaining after a ride in the very back.) but i still love it though, i just knwo im not ever riding in the back again. well after 8 times ridding ninja, we went to wheelie, rode that 2wice, then went to get something to eat. then it was off to mindbender(one train), we waited only for about 20 mins or so for the front seat, and omg i love it, i had never ridden front seat b4. we rode that only once cause we needed to get on line for batman cause it was like 40 min wait, and it was close to closing time, i rode 2nd row and it was really rough on me, and my friend complained also, maybe it was because it was cold outside and the track was ... i dunno somethin, but it was a bemma and it actually hurt me, not as much as ninja's back seat, but still :-/ anyways, well worth it anyways, then we ran to superman again (it was 10:40) close to closing time, so we got there and omg they were running both stations, i was amazed, i rode last row, then second to last row 2 more times then row 4 one time. amazing, i love that ride, why does it have to be soo short? well in anyway i had a great time, i was riding superman till the end, which was 11:15. everyone was asking for ONE MORE RIDe, and they just didnt care, they said, NOPE SORRY GET OFF RIDE NOW! so we did, then i walked back to front to my car, and got lost in highway. but I found my way lol (first time driving to sfog)
so to sum it all up (in order of rideage)
(ps smillie faces represent my emotion after ride)
Scorcher - 1 time 2nd row
DejaVu - 1 time last row (8b) ;D
Superman - front row ;D ;D
Ninja - 8 times - front , middle ;D (7) and back :-[
Whellie - - kinda gave me a headache and my seat was creaking (freaked me out)
Mindbender - front ;D
Batman - 2nd row :-/
Superman - back x2 - then middle seats x2 ;D

oh and btw, acro was closed :

i missed riding my cyclone, > but then again i was having my fun on ninja so its all good, and i was gonna go look for general public or CtCF on GASM but i decided not to ride that, again, having too much fun on ninja :P

overall i wish to go again next friday, fright fest is soo cool, not the whole holiday thing, but just the hours, its like hot when u get there, then when u leave its like freezing, which makes it all good, then the whole darkness thing adds alot

overall i think i did good, i was only at the park for 5 hours, and no qbot and got all those rides. 2 of which were kinda dissapointing but still better than nothing.

i have ridden ninja around 16 times now, and it has never EVER hurt me as it did today on that back seat, only choosing front or middle seats from now on.

and wuts up with all the 1 train operations?
scorcher - mindbender - ninja - batman - superman (at first, it must have gotten other train at around 8ish or somethin)

1 -train operation:

Mindbender - lift problems (to be fixed in the offseason)
Others - could be anything... mechanical, probably; if it was raining, a train will be taken off so that the ride can stay open longer (if it was raining). What I hear so often about parks taking trains off to lengthen the line is total crap (at least at SFOG). The trains are not being used for a reason, and that's not it.
