Yesterday me and my friend got to the park at around 11. First we went to guest relations because my friend lost his all season sports bottle and wanted to replace it. He found out that it's only $5.50 to replace so he paid and they gave him a coupon to get a new cup anywhere. Then we both bought the sports bottle holders because we both really wanted one. There was a season pass discount making them $6 instead of $7 which I guess was nice that we saved $2. After my friend got his new bottle we headed to Kingda Ka first.

 

We only waited about ten minutes for the back row and it was a fun ride as usual. Then we rode Zumanjaro three times because there was no line. At the top of Zumanjaro we noticed the line for Kingda Ka was way longer than when we rode it. It filled about half of the switchbacks and before it barely filled the first one. After Zumanjaro we stopped for lunch at Macho Nacho. We then rode El Toro once. It was interesting because the line filled the entire fist set of switchbacks but was only a 15 minute wait. I thought it was going to be a lot longer but was surprised. We rode in the very back row which is my favorite row. Then I used my snack on my dining pass and got dippin dots.

 

We then went on Bizarro once and it was a station wait for the second to last row. On the brake run we noticed that Zumanjaro was stuck halfway up and then they slowly let it down without dropping them. We then took the skyway to the other side of the park because it had a very short wait. As we went by the Joker which was closed, I noticed they had a crane up to the lift and two guys seemed to be fixing something.

 

Then we went on Nitro which had a line that started on the top of the stairs. It was interesting because when we got off, I noticed the line had grown all the way to the beginning of the switchbacks which was crazy. We were glad we got on when we did. We then went on the Dark Knight once. I also noticed that they had the scary boom sound in the middle of the pre-show which hasn't happened in a while.

 

Then we went on Batman once which was about a 10 minute wait. for the front row.

 

We then walked over to Kingda Ka again and it was testing, while Zumanjaro was closed. There was a short line to wait for it to re open, so we decided to wait. It reopened in about ten minutes so we went on within minutes of walking through the queue.

 

We then rode again this time waiting about ten minutes. Right after we got in line we noticed that the line quickly grew behind us filling up several switchbacks.

 

We then noticed that the walkway shortcut that goes from the Golden Kingdom to Plaza del Carnaval was open again. Idk how long it had been open but I just never noticed it. We walked through it and then decided we wanted to eat dinner. We went to the main street pub and I got a chicken sandwich.

 

Then we went to the Ferris Wheel which I haven't ridden in years, and then Skull Mountain to end it.

 

We left at around 6:30 overall satisfied that we got on so many coasters.

 

I also really like having the drink holder. It has a strap attached that lets you put it around your neck if you want. It's also nice because you can't feel how cold it is or the condensation from the drink. It's also easy to tell which one is yours when you have to leave it in the station when you ride.

Nice report, sounds like you got lucky with a lot of lines.

 

On another note, what's good at Macho Nacho?

All I had was soft tacos at Macho Nacho because that was the first time I've been there. They were okay but I think next time I'll try a quesadilla.
