My most memorable experience this year was one that many others have chosen, my first ride on the Force. There was a light rain, and it was at dusk. The clouds were really starting to look nasty, and after waiting 1 1/2 hours I was afraid my friend and I were not going to be able to ride. We got into the station, and the suspense was building. I really love that station, as there are not many people in there (just enough to fill up the train), there is that cool alien music, and some neat lightning effects. Then the gates slowly swing open, and the train sits there waiting for you to climb in. You zoom out of the station and get on that steep elevator lift. I was sitting on the left side, my friend on the right, and we just looked at each other and wondered, "Why are we doing this?" Once we got about 1/2 way up, the lift speed increases even MORE! I looked over the left side of the train. Big mistake. All I could see was water. We got to the top of the hill, and braced ourselves for the longest drop in coaster history. That drop is amazing. My legs sort of got numb, and then we zoomed into the overbanked turn. I was expecting more of a unique feeling from that turn, but it just seemed like any other turn we were going so fast. No matter, soon we were up the floater hill. The lights had come on in the park at this point, and the light drizzle combined with the lights at dusk made for a truly memorable view at the top of the floater hill. We then went on to the island and navigated the pretzel-turnaround. At this point, everyone on the train had their arms up. I mean EVERYONE. We headed back towards the station, zoomed by the line, and got some serious air on the bunny hop. We then hit the brakes, and the whole train started cheering. We got back to the unloading station and everyone was yelling, screaming, giving high 5's, etc. That single experience was probably one of the best (if not THE best) memory of the entire year for me,挀漀愀猀琀攀爀ⴀ爀攀氀愀琀攀搀 漀爀 渀漀琀⸀ഀഀഀ ⨀⨀⨀ 吀栀椀猀 瀀漀猀琀 眀愀猀 攀搀椀琀攀搀 戀礀 倀漀瀀瀀礀䈀爀漀匀刀 漀渀 ⼀㈀⼀㈀ ⸀ ⨀⨀⨀
