ImageI finally got to re ride Timberwolf after my horrible ride at Coaster Mayhem. I was told to ride the front car so I decided to ride front row. It was probably the smoothest ride I had ever had on it. It was still shaky but not painful like my ride on May 19th.

We stayed most of the day from open to close with the exception of leaving for lunch and coming back.

Saturday there was no lack of people wearing stuff they shouldn't be and lots of over dramatic high school drama these are both staples of Amusement Parks. 

We had to wait for a Thunderstorm to pass but we were told by 9pm it would be gone. So we waited it out. However because of this more people also waited it out and the 9pm rush of people leaving never happened. The storm was over and rides opened back up around 9:10pm and since there was no line over at Fury of the Nile we went and rode that. We waited maybe 10 minutes for them to test it and we were on for what was probably the most fun I have ever had on this ride. It seems so much faster at night and the rapids look huge in the dark.

We went from here to Mamba and waited about 10 minutes or so. Rick and Michelle both couldn't get enough dark rides on Mamba.
I got my wife to ride Patriot finally. It was her first Up Side Down Coaster and she loved it. We rode it 3 times through out the day. The lines seemed pretty long all day and at about 9:30pm or so the line reached queue times of probably close to an hour and a half due to one train operations. There appeared to be a fight in the queue well we were in the station for our one night ride, but could not tell you why or what happened exactly as only one guy got thrown out of line and possibly out of the park.

Next we went and did the Zulu in the dark. Pretty neat ride at night. It was about 11pm at this time and we decided to just go ride Mamba as many times as we could before midnight. To our surprise we had an Unofficial Night ERT on Mamba as there were only about 30 people riding and they had 2 trains running. We ended up with at least 6 or 7 rides plus the 4 day rides we had, and we still wanted more.

We had thought that the park was just empty, but we were met by roughly 200 people at the front gate who were all coming from Patriot. Man I am glad I didn't try to ride Patriot again that night.

Boomerang was running really smooth in the morning and not so smooth in the afternoon. We rode Spinning Dragons once. I like this ride and when lines are short will ride it numerous times but lines were long for this one all day long.

Michelle was upset that you no longer get wet on Thunderhawk. But oh well they say it's bad for the ride and that by not getting wet makes it last longer which I am all for. Go stand on Monsoon's bridge if you want to get wet.

The back room of Coasters I found out during the Tstorm has a nice view of Mamba, Detonator, and Patriot.

I had a very fun and long day at Worlds of Fun. This may be my last visit until Coaster Mayhem 2008 and I made it a good one.
