So with the drizzle still coming down I drove out to the park and arrived around 7. One other guy was there, the same ACE guy who beat me there last year.

Around 8 they began testing Superman and Drop:


God I love my 18x Optical Zoom



Obligatory "Fiero at Six Flags" pic


So by 9:30 I had downed three cans of Vault (I was running on 2.5 hours of sleep, yes I'm screwed up) and I had to go so bad I was in horrible pain, so I floored it to go use IHOP's restroom. :lol: The guy behind me saved my spot thank god. Sorry if I pissed anyone off...

No chain drop this year, park started letting guests in at around 10:05. Of course for some reason their system wasn't showing my pass was activated so the guy sent me to Guest Relations, which was running one window. Gah.


I finally get into the park and head for Whizzer. Fun Machine has a new sign, it did not run at all today


These people are having fun.


Would-be end of coaster deprivation...


Yummy spiral lifthill


Whizzer doesn't like me, it went into downtime right as I was about to get on.


This is BuckyBattle. Moving on.



Rails


My season started with Raging Bull. Obviously Bull has a new sign. It's OK but I liked the old one more


Red train sits disassembled behind Hurricane Harbor. Right after I got off they went into downtime to put the teal train on and bring it to two-trains.


Ghost Riders


Demon time! THANK YOU FOR NEW RESTRAINTS!


Around this time I met up with friends Zach, Ben, Jerome, Alyssa, Ray, and Justine.

Eagle red also was running one train



Eagle's tent went to hell over the winter... it looks like they are installing new supports in Wiggles World


Here is "Vu 2". Moving on...


King Chaos is back to its old cycle. Lame.


Random plane flying low


Filming-site of "Dark Knight Madness". Also I count 9 trash receptacles in this shot alone...


Superman also running one train.


At least the park was dead, this was only a 1-2 train wait


Keep Out. This Means You.


The hell with $7 Pizza slices...




Since when did SFGAm become a Cedar Fair park? I see 15 cans in this pic.How many garbage cans can you find? [HIGHER-RES PIC]


Oh Say Can You Scream?


Time to run with the Bulls








Viper was running one train but like Superman it was dead enough the wait was not bad at all


On-ride photos are gone, looks like I'll do it myself...


...Or I can just pull it off the plastic door.


Zach and Ben got their DDR fix



"I'm alright Jack; keep your hands off my stack"


"OM NOM NOM!"


ACEr's on a kiddie coaster


Coaster Porn

In other news, Zach made peace with the flesh-eating Recycle Receptacles...


...before it turned on Zach and Ben.


"Twisted"


ACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACEACE...


"Loopy"


Cajun Time!


Having fun?


More Bull




More Viper



Demon ran one train all day Friday and Saturday


Riding into the sunset


"There goes the floor and you're out the door"


Whee...


Got time for one more ride


Easter Egg turn...


"Story Time!!"


Silent


Group Pic


Cyber Cafe. Doesnt look too bad but the exterior really goes against the "New Orleans" theme.


That "ON/OFF" sign looks so out of place in front of Columbia


"Good to be Back". Also, notice anything missing?


THE EDN


Some things were disorganized early but this was a MUCH better opening day than last year. The crowds were low, and the employees seemed very friendly. Let's see if it lasts.

(NOTE: Beginning this year all pics posted for PTR's will be resized, watermarked versions of the originals. Over the winter there were some issues with people (nobody from this site) "stealing" my Dixie Square pics and I am no longer taking any chances. If you want a high-res pic with a "hidden" watermark (for a background or whatnot), PM me for a request. Thanks)

Wow, your camera takes some crystal clear pics. I like the pic of raging bull where people are going down the drop their faces are priceless.



May I add their funnel cakes kick ASS!!!!! Thank god for the coupon $8 for one is alot but 2 for $10 is better.

I REMEMBERED NOW!!!!!! I saw you guys at that store in SST where the Viper's Exit is!! :)

I do believe we might have ridden backrow of Bull together. I had no idea it was you.

That was a good TR, im jellous I didnt go

I think all of my Bull rides were in the back row, it's quite possible. I was wearing the employee jacket if that helps...

I was in a green hoodie next to my black hooded friend. Yeah, it must've been you.

That sounds familiar, Were you guys talking about Cedar Point or some other park while waiting for back row?

Yeah. He was trying to explain why a Dive Machine would be a good addition to the park and I let him know a Inty looper like Maverick would kick a Dive Machine's ass any day.

Yep that was me in front of you. LOL. Had a feeling it was someone from here or on the World.

So what was your ride count?

It was a blast that day! Had fun with our group.
