nbadude44 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Report: After being away from the park in about five long months, I happened to visit the park on the day of two big events in the park. The park was holding a concert from Bridgit Mendler that people were lining up for in front of the Northern Star Arena since noon, but I've never heard of her so I didn't bother to actually see it. Also, it was "Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella" day, and they celebrated it by playing the songs from the musical on the loudspeakers and holding a parade with the characters, which I missed by a hair. Anyway, since it's been so long the last time I visited the park, I was eager to visit the new Safari Off Road Adventure... only to be greeted by a line that stretched out to the sign of Runaway Train. Fortunately, it also meant that Runaway Train, Bizarro, and the Skyway all had less than 5 minutes each, so I rode then all with my mother. After a ride on Skull Mountain, I began to see that all of the lines were starting to pick up. I wandered off to Kingda Ka, which still had a sizable wait of about 20 minutes. El Toro was down for the day because of technical difficulties, meaning Rolling Thunder (just the left side was open) had a longer line than usual. The line for the Safari never got any shorter throughout the day, so I avoided like the plague and I'll just have to wait 'til my next visit. After a quick trip outside the park for some dinner, we were able to score some rides on Buccaneer, the Dark Knight, Deja Vu, two rides on Houdini. We also got the first ride on SkyScreamer with the lights on and a ride on the Big Wheel before my mother out early. Before the park closed through, I was able to get rides on Super Round Up (or whatever it's called now), Green Lantern, and Superman, each with little to no wait. Overall, I'm disappointed that I couldn't get on the Safari, but I was able to get a bunch of enjoyable rides with not to much waiting.

nbadude44 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Photos: My my, I wonder what these are for.... Dang! I missed a photo op with a princess. The line for the Safari Off Road Adventure... A dance party as seen from above. The preparations have begun! There's a new thing this year called "Total Darkness", which I'm guessing is probably a terror trail. My poor baby's down for the day. The only GOOD marketing tie-in with a roller coaster that I've seen. A "live and local" 80's cover band called Max Headroom also performed. I've never seen these before and I thought they were cool. The backs even list the original 1974 candy prices! More props, YAY! He looks like the mascot for the 80's band. Artsy pic: Check Nerdy shot: Check Thanks for reading!
