Obviously I didn't go. Who else didn't?

C'mon, I can't be the only one...

I didn't. I wanted to, but thought that it wouldn't be fair leaving my wife at home with our 7 month old by her self. I haven't even made it to the track yet this year.

Not me. I gotta go to work at 3:30 in the morning.

I wanted to go, but perhaps there will be another time.

Well, all you that didn't go due to "dicey weather" missed out. It rained like mad til daybreak, then cleared up. We actually got some sunburn... It sprinkled mid afternoon for about 15 minutes, but then stopped and got sunny again.

I wish I had known you needed a y pipe as I have 3 in the garage for 3rd gens. All 3 are for different kinds of headers.
I would have loved to have gone but health doesn't permit that kink of fun. If I had gone the people behind me on the ride would not have enjoyed it. It is hard enough trying to keep food down with the treatments I am taking let alone trying while riding a rollercoaster.

Well, Amanda and I went and hung out with Dave, Jason, Jacob, and there wife's/girlfriends. The day was AWESOME!!! Who ever didn't go missed out bigtime. It rained in the morning till 9am then it was sunny and perfect like Timberwolf mentioned except the sprinkle during the afternoon. The park was almost empty.

At 2pm after lunch with everyone Amanda and I decided to wait in the so called 4hour line at Top Thrill Dragster. It started to sprinkle for a few minutes. The ride stoped for 1/2 hour and people decided to leave the line.

OUR TOTAL WAIT FOR TOP THRILL DRAGSTER WAS 2 HOURS AND 13 MINUTES.... 2 FRONT SEATS!!! Thanks to the sprinkle and people leaving the line. We got lucky.

Best roller coaster I've been on. Makes my 9 sec car feel slow. It was worth the wait in line.

After that we rode the Millenium Force...40minute wait... then the park at night time got really slow. Ended up waiting 15 minutes max at all other rides and some ride no wait...just jumped on and rode like Power Tower.

The best part of the day was watching the Top Thrill Dragster not make the hill at nightime. They were having mechanical problems and excelleration problems. We watched the coaster make it up to the top of the hill and then fall backwards back down to the launch platform because they couldn't get enough speed up. They said this was normal and sometimes this happens. It was cool to see it. I wished I would have been on it when it would stop at the top and then fall backwards at 120mph. Only thing bad about this was people in line were stuck there for hours while they tried to get the ride back up and runing.

I wish I could have made it. Sounds like everyone had a blast.
