Ever Have A Solo Ride?

no i would never ride alone.. cuz it aint fun.

I had the whole train to myself on Ninja at SFStL a couple Saturdays ago during early passholder ride time. I got two laps and an offer for the third and there was still no one else near the station everyone was waiting for Batman which opened a few min. late, Why wait when you can ride I say, and by the time I got done batman was a walk on for row one.

Magnum, Mean Streak, Mantis, Corkscrew, Power Tower, Wildcat, and the Mine Ride.

***Why can't all parks have a Millennium Force?***

me alone on boulder dash

I have ridden the Santa Monica West Coaster alone.

I rid the beast alone and flight of fear at pki. now that is fun on the beast

i've had a train to myself on about every ride at PKI except Son Of Beast, just cause i go there a lot

My wife and I had the train to ourselves on Pegasus and Zeus at Big Chief. It was kind of funny to see the two of us in the front seat of Pegasus and not a single other rider in sight.

One of my favorite memories of last year was the end of our day at Lake Compounce. There was a steady drizzle, and as darkness fell, the park was just about empty. We headed over to the Topspin, where I noticed that the only people around were the ride ops. My wife really didn't want to ride, so I rode it completely by myself. It was great! And kudos to the ride ops for being so enthusiastic for a single rider in crummy weather.

I had two rides in a row on Kong at SFMW where I was the only person on the train. I thought that it was pretty cool, but it wasn't nearly as fun as having a whole trainload of people behind me, screaming in terror (Or in Kong's case, pain and agony :)) Without anyone on the train, it seemed to snake its way through the course alot slower than usual. I felt kind of special, but I agree that having people on the train makes the ride more enjoyable.

I had 3 in a row on Viper at SFoG. I could have had more, but I went on to ride other rides.

I either like a full train, or like to be alone. Most coasters I've ridden I've probally had at least one empty train ride(except for CP coasters). On Hypersonic, it was me and the wife, and the two people right behind us, the ride ops said it was better with less people, but I don't know(there were still people in line to get in line, we felt guilty). Woodens are great when it's just you, especially in the rain.

Let's see, Every ride at IOA, Blue STreak @ CLP, RWB, ST, B:KF, M:BT @ SFWoA, Iron Dragon, Disaster Transport, Maggy @ CP that's all

Where'd you come from, Where'd you go, Where'd you come from old man Joe.

I have come close a few times, but never complety had a train all to myself.

TOP GUN(PKI) Went on this ride after SOB,It was a complete walk on and after entering the station, It was empty and Hopped in the back, I thought I was gonna get a Ride all by myself, when about 4 more people came in and went in the Front, so overall, It was just Me and 4 other people on a ride. Kinda Fun, Done it later in the day too, when there was about 5-6 other people in the train.
ADVENTURE EXPRESS(PKI) almost again had a ride to myself, I sat in the back and noticed only 4 other people on the Ride, they filled The Front Car.

OBLIVION(AT) This was in the first year when Oblivion opened, We started Queueing Up, but then they made people queue down and around Engergizer to control the crowds, me and my friend were mad as we were First in Line with a Dad and his 2 Daughters, so we all conplained to a manager, we were gald we did. He let us stay where we were, so we could have the first ride of the day, anyway about 5 mins till 10AM, we were lead up to the entrance(Just me, My Friend and the other people with us) anyway, when we get into the station, they let us board a train immediatly,but where was everyone else, Surely they wouldnt Let just 5 People(Me, My Friend, The Dad and 2 Daughters) Ride Alone, after a short while, they closed the gates and then we realised we would be Rideing Alone(Just the 5 of us) A Pretty Awesome Ride with only us 5 People in The Front Row. Also as it was the First year it opened, They had the Steam over the Tunnel covering it complety, It made it a lot better. Now though, they dont do it for some reason.

My friend and I had an empty train on Batman Knight Flight at SFWoA. It was the beginning of the day and everyone went to X-F first. The que was filled when we got back, but for the very first ride, we were solo in the front car with an empty train behind us.

Every Coaster at Six Flags America exept for Batwing.

My most incredible coaster experience was riding the Beast by myself at night. The park was closing at 11 and there was a downpour from 9 to 10 and most of the parks guests were gone. Me and my family were the only people in the Beast station and we all wanted to ride in the front seat so the ride-ops let us ride by ourselves. I have to tell you that this was absolutely incredible, by far the scariest single ride on a coaster that i have ever experienced, riding through the woods by myself and no one around to hear me scream.

I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to keep riding roller coasters
