The one thing at your home park that you always do
My question is fairly self explanatory.
What is it that you always do at your home-park? Whether it be getting a funnel cake, boardwalk fries, watching a show, or even a specific coaster.
Ofcourse, everyone likes to ride their fav coasters at their homepark, but is there a specific ride that is like a tradition...something you ride just about every time you go?
Since FoF was re-fitted with lap bars, i normally try to get a ride on it everytime i visit(unless the line is redicuously long[1 1/2hr +].) I also like to get my share of boardwalk fries around lunch time. Or, if its really hot, ill get dippin dots.

As the coasters get bigger so do the queue lines

Santa Claus rocks my world
At PKI, I always walk through the garden that's at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. It has a path made up of stones that have movie titles printed on them, in chronological order, and me and whomever is with me walk the path, keeping track of the movies we've seen. The person who's seen the most "wins."
My wife always wins because she's seen all the old movies.
Other things I always do:
-first ride is always the Beast.
-always walk through the small arcade after riding the Beast.
-always eat LaRosa's for lunch.
-always ride in the same place: front seat on all rides, except first seat, back car on Vortex.
And before they removed the "tree tunnel," (or blocked it) I used to make sure to walk through it, especially on the way to the morning Beast ride.

*Park. For some reason security does not like me to leave my truck standing at the drop-off point all day.
*walk around a lot
*stand in lines
*watch people
*eat

Do the Moo Shoo!
Always has to be someone that makes a joke out of the topic...eventually leading it to be far off from the subject.
James K, if you wanna be that way, i always:
-Get my season pass scanned to enter the park
-Walk through metal detectors
-Stand in line
-And a few of the others i mentioned.
The question was directed towards traditional things. Something you do all the time because its just something you dont like to miss out on.

Now that I call Kennywood home, I gotta eat Potato Patch fries, and then do Noah's Ark and Old Mill at least once. The rides are so cheesy they're wonderful.

Whenever I go to Sfgam, I always have to ride b:tr and I have to sit in the 2nd row and last seat on the left. Don't ask why i sit there all the time, but I always do.:-D

Well, for *each* of my homeparks:
Wild Adventures...Cheetah, of course, but the dry sack slide (Insect-O-Slide) is the MUST do at least once before leaving, provided it is in fact a "dry" slide...ah, nostalgia...if it's warm, I do Tasmanian River Rapids just to dream of what I would LOVE to do if given a shot at theming that sucker...
BGT...Gwazi (whichever side is running that day)...and we gotta check in on the lions (REAL "cat people" aren't overly concerned with the size of the cat, it's the contentedness of the purr)...oh, and the Hospitality House..;)
IoA...Fire Dragon, and ever since the Travel Channel Secrets show, the Caro-Seuss-El...(what's the *trick* on THIS one)...hoping they always make sure all the critters are working, it's the "signature attraction" at Seuss Landing...Woody and MiB if we get a chance to head over to USF...
For SFMM:
I always ride Viper at least once. And a closing season tradition is going on Roaring Rapids as the last ride. It's usually about novermber or December and just close the year by having my friends freezing their butts of on the walk back to the car.
For Disneyland:
With one or more people, we just stare at the Matterhorn until we start getting a crowd, then leave (always fun). Sing along to at least one song.
For KBF:
Ride Supreme Scream until one of us decides that we can't handle anymore. Stare at the rides that are down too, that's fun sometimes.

I need to use the Pipi station.
longest mini-marathon i ever had was 9 straight rides on anaconda before closing. this was before i realized that the side affect was a serious headache....
ahh the invincible days! i remember when everyone complained about FoF, and i thought it was great. (before the lap bars).
