We had a wonderful second day at the City on Tuesday. We used our 2 BAFs on our two friends and their baby boy, and we also met up with another couple and their 4 young ones. We didn't end up getting to the park until after 9:30, so no extra ride time this trip. We got really lucky (almost) all day--we would get to a ride just before the lines got long. We did this with Powder Keg, Fire in the Hole, and American Plunge.
We headed around to Lost River next. Five of us waited in line for a bit. We were 2 boat-loads away from going when then the line stopped moving. Turns out a water line running under the railroad tracks to Lost River broke, shutting down both attractions for most (if not all) of the day. Since we had so many little ones we got our wet fix on River Blast instead. Hubby and I had never ridden it before--we quite enjoyed ourselves. It got pretty hard-core though; we were battling so hard that I pulled a muscle in my neck!
Due to Lost River being out, Plunge had long lines all day. Noticed that they have built a wall in the Plunge overflow queue (old Float Trip queue?) so that you merely walk down the stairs and back up again, no going through the covered area.
One of the highlights of the day for me was riding the carousel with one of the little ones. I'm so glad they brought that one back. We had lots of fun just going as a couple, but going with friends (and kids!) was great as well. To watch their excitement at new experiences for them was a priceless gift. Overall a fantastic (and long) two days at SDC.
Also, If anyone goes sometime soon, can you try to find out about the water line? I would like to know what happened and when it finally got fixed.
