We ran to Chiller. After drooling from the midway, we walked in, and walked on a middle row. I sat down, and i fitted comfortably into the new nifty lapbars. My 6'2" friend, though, was a bit squished. I also realized that they actually restrain your feet as well, but i managed to sqeeze my feet out because they hurt. On our first time, I was expecting the train to be rough, just minus the headbanging. I was wrong! The ride is sooo smooth and enjoyable, with everything that makes a coaster good. There were lots of head choppers, and the zero-G roll was amazing. After we did the middle, I took Coaster131's advise, and did the front row. THANK YOU COASTER131!!! The front row was so much better, plus you get more headchoppers.
We next proceeded to Nitro, its looming steel structure was just calling to me. We waited about 5 minutes, then got the back row. It was great as always, and i was glad because the trims were almost off and the midcourse break was very light. One dissadvantage about the back row, i got a shower of spit(YUK).
Next we hit Batman the Ride. Since the line wasnt as long, we did the front first. It was good, nothing really to say as im sure everyone has ridden a batman once in their life. We did the back row as well, and you can really feel the ride back here. My advise - Get the train with the older restraints, its much more thrilling.
We next rode Skull Mountain for the airtime in the back. It was about a 7 minute wait. Next, We strolled down and rode Chaos, that fun little flipping ride. I saw the Blackbeard treasure train running, so i said to myself, "Why not". this was actually a 5 minute wait because I guess it appels to the small ones. It was actually cool, with a Schwarzkoph style drop where you drop, then peel off quickly to the right.
Next, we took the sky ride to Frontier Adventures. We went to Medusa. Another walkon. We decided to do the front row as well, and i got my faviorate seat - The left end. It was running slowly (the service). There would be 2 trains on the breaks, and they wouldnt dispach the other. Slow ones...
We were in line sor the saw mill log flume, but it broke down so we rode the Mine Train. This thing is fun, but it hurts my legs. After that I rode rolling thunder, and richie sat out. They were running the left side (YES!) which has more airtime and it dosnt hurt as much. I prefer to call it the "RT" train, because as it pulls out of the station it sounds like the NYC subway.
We headed to Dino Island, but it had a 45 minute line. Instead,, I did the Twister and Scream Machine. The trim breaks after the first loop were completly off, and as a result I blacked out on the second and third loops. I didnt like that one bit! I think they should tear the thing down and put in like a flying dutchman. C'mon, they actually have to get Pringles to sponsor it!
We sat for a little while and bought some cinnamon roasted nuts. for our last ride, We decided to hit Nitro front seat. It was a 40 minute line, but we had time. It was waoth it, as always. I love leaning over and looking down the first drop.
We left about 6 o'clock. It was a fun day, except for scream machine. I am eagerly awaiting my final visit so that i can get on Robin one more time...
