rcji Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I took many photos so I'll let them speak for themselves. I was finally able to have a day off from work and everything else so this was my first trip back since opening day. My main purpose of the trip was to go to the safari and ride Bizarro. Park wasn't really crowded because the forecast said 40% chance of isolated t-storms which probably scared most people away and it didn't rain at all the whole day so the lines were pretty short except on El Toro and Bizarro. It was really hot the whole day. As soon as they dropped the ropes my brother and I went straight to Bizarro and we were the firs ones of the day on. So it was my first time on Bizarro and I did the Safari for the first time and loved both of them. I thought they did a great job overall with Bizarro. Kingda ka had no life the whole day but I did see maintenance workers around 6:30pm working on the launch section of the track and the small crane is still there in the middle of the ride. As I was taking pictures in the parking lot of KK sure enough 2 security golf cars drive by and shortly after that a security car comes by with about 4 people inside and asks if they could help me and I just said I was just taking pictures which I was. Then they said "ok we were just suspicious seeing people walking around by the bottom of KK" even though I was walking around the parking lot on the side of KK the whole time which is not blocked off to the public or anything. I was a solid 10-15 feet from the fence too the whole time. I guess they though we wanted to break in or something or just being cautious. Bucky Dent and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo were at the park. Chris Russo did his show on Sirius XM from 2-7 by Bizarro and did an interview with Bucky Dent and he signed some things for everyone. Overall I had a nice relaxing trip and accomplished what I wanted to do. This was one of the better GADV days I've had.

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 It is great to see that even when the park isn't packed they are still operating both sides of the Sky Ride. Thanks for sharing the report and photos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Adventurer Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thanks for the photos! I was glad to see something being done during park hours on Ka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcji Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thanks guys! Having all sides of the skyway open is always nice. I actually did it 3x and this never really happened to me before but everyone who passes by either waved or said hi passing by. Hopefully Kingda Ka can return soon and I purposely kept checking to see if they were working on it and I was glad to see they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
