I usually don't write reports about my home park, but there were lots of differences in the park today.
We got into the park around 11:30 and went straight to El Toro. Can you say walk on? We went to the back row.
El Toro - Tons of airtime on this ride like usual, still in my top 10, great ride.
Rating: 10/10
We walked over to Rolling Thunder, where both sides were finally running again. Walk on. We went to the left side, which is usually the better side. We went somewhere in the middle.
Rolling Thunder (Left) - Owwww... this ride found a new way to hurt me. Killed my stomach. I couldn't even keep my hands up, I was getting beaten so bad.
Rating: 3/10
Went to the Golden Kingdom to go to the tallest, fastest coaster, Kingda Ka. 10 minute wait, and we waited out for the front row. This would be my first time out of my five times on this in the front row.
Kingda Ka - Wow. In the front, this ride is a whole new ride. The launch is breathtaking and much faster. This also applies for the 418 foot drop. It was just amazing. I'm probably going to wait out for the front row every time now, except if the person I go on with won't go on the front row.

Walked over to the Twister where there was no line.
The Twister - How do they manage to take 10 minutes to send us going. They unlocked the "train" 5 times, and kept stalling to start, when the ride seemed to be running fine. Guess I'm going to have to get use to that it's a Six Flags park, lol. The ride itself was okay I guess, nothing special, been on it before.

Walked over to Superman: Ultimate Flight, where finally, they can quickly load the trains! It only took 15 minutes from where it usually takes 45. We took the back row.
Superman: Ultimate Flight - This ride really needs some better elements. Once again, the only good part is the pretzel loop, which is just insanely good. Also, they need to get the trains into the station quicker, waiting at the brakes killed my stomach even more, after Rolling Thunder.
Rating: 7/10
Took a walk to the other side of the park where we surprisingly found only a 5 minute wait for Nitro (plus front row waiting). Hopped in the front row.
Nitro - Last time I went on, this seemed really tame. Really changed from 7/21, the last time I went on it, and has lots of airtime again. Great ride.
Rating: 9/10
We walked over to eat lunch, I just had butterfly fries by Nitro and a drink. After we ate, we went back to Nitro, which was walk into the station, and second train once we got there. We took the back row.
Nitro - Really good ride in the back row, for once in a change. Usually just the front that makes the ride good.
Rating: 9/10
Gotham City was next and we went on Batman. Walked right into the station, and took the back row.
Batman: The Ride - Seemed a lot more intense in the back row, when I usually ride the front or middle. Loops really helped the ride's rating.
Rating: 8/10
Next up was the big skull, Skull Mountain. Took the middle.
Skull Mountain - Always was pretty good for a kids ride, and has some good airtime, like usual.
Rating: 6/10
Went back to Nitro, 5 minute wait, back row.
Nitro - Same ride as a few rides above, in the back row. Good as usual.
Rating: 9/10
Took the Skyway over to the other side of the park. We didn't feel like waiting it out for half an hour for Medusa, so we went to El Toro. Took the back row, in 15 minutes.
El Toro - Got a lot more airtime than usual, which is already tons, because I wasn't stapled in this time. Just love the first two drops, fifth drop, and the turns.
Rating: 10/10
Walked over to Kingda Ka, and didn't feel like waiting an hour. Next was Space Shuttle, which was walk on.
Space Shuttle - How hard do they have to staple you in? If I moved back at all, the restraint moved back with me. Also, why do they need a safety belt, lap bar, and restraint? A little much, don't you think? If I was a girl, I really wouldn't want to go on this, my chest got hammered.
Rating: 3/10
Last up was Houdini's Escape and it was walk on.
Houdini's Great Escape - Boring. Wasn't scary at all, and the effects were just plain stupid.
Rating: 1/10
Got a drink and headed out of the park, going home around 5.
Wow, we got a lot in, in 5 1/2 hours.
