The main reason that Cliff’s Amusement Park was so high on my list of parks to visit when I moved to the Phoenix area was sheer curiosity. I had heard great praise for New Mexico Rattler, but not very much about the rest of the park. 
Besides a few pictures from online photo albums, I didn’t know very much about the park.
Thank you for visiting!

The ticket process and security process went well, and I started to get queued up at the carousel. When I got there, I thought I was pretty far back, but 15 minutes later when I looked back, the line was at the main fountain! Then at about 9:58, the rope went down. The only way I can describe it is that it was like the start of a marathon. Everyone running as fast as they could, tripping over everyone and everything. We all ran to Kingda Ka. I ran through the winding part of Kingda Ka’s queue, and didn’t have to go through the first two main switchback parts. Everyone had to go through the last one, though, but at that point we were still in a fast walk. I went to the right side as the guard told me to, and waited from there. 10:00 rolled by. 10:15 came and went. 10:30 blew by. 10:45 passed, with still no sign of any good things. They then told us they were having technical difficulties. I could tell it was a problem with the sled and cable, as the horn sounded, and nothing happened. They then decided, after blowing the horn three unsuccessful times, to take Blueberry Muffin off of the tracks, so the right side had only Schoolbus Badunkadunk. From what I understand, capacity doesn’t do anything much differently with three trains instead of four. The first train goes out at 11:05. Four trains later, I was on Schoolbus Badunkadunk.
