Howdy!

Boyscout Weekend. My end to the offseason. It started out cold & ended up warm & sunny. I had an amazing time, got to meet a lot of nice & cool people, got to see all of the upgrades in the park, got to have a bunch of firsts, and I especially had fun hanging out with the Ripcord crew! Here's my PTR:


Well I got there around 8:15am, and saw that nobody was really in line, so I decided to go ahead & be the first in line. I stood there for about 15 minutes, and then a little kid showed up & started bugging the people in the park that were working to get everything ready. Sort of embarrassing . . . Then at around 8:55 they opened the park, and I can honestly say I was the first person in for the 2009 season! As soon as I got in, I immediately walked towards High Roller to check it out after its offseason rehab. They opened the rest of the park, and I got to be the first person on High Roller for the 2009 season as well! I must say it is VERY improved! Very very very smooth.

After that, I went to check out the rest of the upgrades in the park. Blahh I can't think of what else to say other then that I heard a LOT of dumb comments/quotes today, made a lot of new friends, screwed up the hut season pass upgrade system, and rode Ripcord 6 times & had a blast with the staff!

Ride Count:
High Roller - 2
Flying Trapeze - 1
Renegade - 1
Antique Autos - 1
Excalibur - 1
Wild Thing - 1
Steel Venom - 1
Ripcord - 6
Go Karts - 3

Onto the pictures!
