Today, My family and I went to SFoG for the first time (well my first time anyway). Altogether, the lines were short and the rides were great!
We got to the park around 9:00 (we stayed at the Days Inn which was a pretty crappy hotel, but it was ok because we could walk to SF without paying for parking) They didn't open the gates until 10. As they were about to open the gates a MASS of kids and teens(without supervision at the time)got off of a bus and passed a whole lotta people who have been waiting at least an hour. Everyone got pretty mad and smart mouthy(including my dad) and a guy behind us even went and talked to the gate workers about it. Of course, they did nothing about it, and about half of the group of the rude people ended up getting in the park first. ARG!
After we got into the park (and my dad cooled off a little bit) we went straight to the GA Scorcher. We got on with barely no wait and had a great ride.
Then we went to ride Acrophobia. BOY was that a ride! We only had to wait about 5 min, so that made it even better! I haven't been so terrified in waiting in a line for a ride in a loooong time.
Then we did some other stuff like the Dahlonega Mine Train (no wait), Monster Plantation (no wait) and the Great Gasp (also no wait).
We moved on to ride the Scream Machine and only waited for a few trains. I really enjoyed this ride, but my mom still complains about her back hurting.
After that, we rode Viper, which was my first shuttle loop, which was a great experience.
Then came Mindbender.(about a 10 min. wait) I was a little bit disappointed because I've heard some good things about this coaster. It really freaked me out when it went up the lift hill kind-of slow.
But Batman made up for it! We waited about 30 min. at the most, it was really hot in the lines, but it was well worth it.
We ended the day with the Georgia Cyclone, which I enjoyed, but the rest of my family didn't as much as I did because they were tired and wussed out :-)
Ninja was closed, so we skipped out on that one. Aside from the fact that a whole lot of people jumped our line to enter the park, and while waiting for Batman I also saw some line jumping going on, AND for a few of the not-so chipper ride-ops and concession worker's attitudes,
I had a GREAT time and can't wait to go back. Hopefully Deja Vu will be open then though!
