The rain was the only downside I think to this event. The rest was perfect. I enjoyed myself and like I said last night I'm coming back next year.

The photo tours were awesome of course and the morning ERT was fun. Nothing beats waking up to Patriot in my opinion. But I still have yet to get a Prowler Night Ride in!!

I still kinda fell bummed out on not getting any night ERT on Prowler. The weather didn't cooperate at all. I was there waiting for a long time for them to reopen the ride in the evening and I got my night rides in then. I got 4 rides in before they closed it down about 10:00 PM. I had the 2nd to last train before it closed, and it was raining hard. That last ride was painful, because of the hard rain and I rode in the front seat with really no front cover as the GCI trains don't have a closed front like the PTC Train or the Morgan Train on Mamba, So I was soaked to the bone by the time I got back.

I was very aware of the forecast and was ready to try to get as much riding in then. But a T-Storm had to form around 10PM and didn't leave till a little after 11PM there. Brandon did what he could to accommodate us for not being able to have the ERT session by giving us some goodies, for such a short period of time he had to decide to do what. I was proud about our behavior on handling this and everyone was good in handling the situation. I glad it didn't turn out to how I last experienced CoasterMania 2003 where I kept on hearing too much whining from many of the enthusiasts there about Dragster being closed for that event, and it was one of the reasons that made me decide to leave ACE after that year from the problems with em that year. (Including stuff not getting delivered because they screwed up my home address) I came back into ACE shortly before Coaster Christmas last year and I have been happy on how the club is today and I am once again proud to be an enthusiast now.

In closing Worlds of Fun did a great job this year with the event. It was a bummer no night Prowler ERT. I wonder what would have been. Oh well we'll try next year.

I wonder if they make Roller Coaster Coasters.

FYI: I posted my Coaster Mayhem PTR in my PTR thread.
Didn't feel the need to post it again over here, but thought I'd give a head's up to those that might normally skim updates to that particular thread
