SFGAm July 8th

Well I went on July eighth and it was THE BEST day to go period. Nobody went to the park because their were severe thunderstorms and rain in the morning until noon. Once I got their, I managed to ride LOTS OF RIDES

Raging Bull - 20 minute wait tops, rode it 8 times in the back, the only place to ride it.
Vertical Velocity - My dad hates this ride so I only went on 5 times, 10 minute wait tops
Viper - walk on, 2 times in the front, 2 in the back, the back is the best on this one like RB.
Superman - Went on it 5 times. 20 minute wait, forty for the front, the pretzel loop is absolutely incredible. The only problem was that on my forth time it broke down for 15 minutes while I was on the brake run.
Deja Vu - nada nothing zilch, no activity by it, track is still in that place etc. etc.
Whizzer - Walk on, 7 times, fun, not exciting, just fun
Demon - Also fun, but somewhat exciting, one of the smoothest looping arrows out their though, this was a walk on too.
Iron Wolf - 5 times, ride hurt alot so i couldn't really go on it a tremendous amount, but it was fun. walk on
American Eagle - this was the best part of the day. The second best ride in the park was marathonable. I sat in the best seat, 2nd to last row in the back, and went on it 7 times in a row. Then switched to backwards part and rode the blue half for 4 times in a row, once in the seat where you can see everything (don't know if that should be the back or the front).
Batman - 5 minute wait tops, 10 minutes for the front, went on this sucker 8 times.
Condor - best worst flat ride ever! walk on. 13 times thruout the day
Spining Octopuse thing - walk on 20 times thruout the day
Giant Drop - same drop as on raging bull so I didn't bother because it sucks.

Overall, the day was stupendous. I highly recommend when their is a 90% chance of severe thunderstorms and when thunderstorms had occured continously for four days prior to that. It only rained lightly, but never heavily or with thunder. If i forgot to mention any rides, tell me because i rode everything except the 5 year old kid stuff. Sorry if I left out words while typing.

You were met with lines much shorter than when I went a few weeks ago. Everything was around a half hour or less, I rode S:UF at the beginning of the day and waited only 15 minutes, Raging Bull moved fast all throughout the day and I was able to get 4 marathon rides on it, that this one of the most reridable coasters I have ever been on.

Sounds cool. I'll be going August 1st and I hope lines will be like that. Raging Bull looks like a sweet ride.

Did you hit some of the smaller flats, such as Triple Play, Richochet, Orbit, or Chubasco.If you hit those you rode pretty much everything in the park.

ues i forgot about orbit, triple play, richochet, and the orbit. I got on those at least ten times. LoCoSuMo, if you go on a nice day or a weekend you won't get it even half as good as that. I went on a freak occurance attendence wise.
