We got to ride Outlaw Run today! Yippee!
I am now enjoying a hot chocolate in the comfort of my motel room.
We were there early. I think we were on the square a few minutes after 9:00. We were wondering if the new coaster would even open this morning because of low temps. At around 11:00, the ride operator near the beginning of the queue said they were able to open. We watched the test rides, and then we were allowed in the line. We waited a few rides, and then we rode for the first time in the last seat. After the awesome ride, we got in line again. The second time, we rode somewhere in the middle. Waits were not long at all, but it took a little time to load and unload a single train.
As we left, we saw that the Giant Swing was open, so we walked on to that. It was fun, as usual. At this point, Wildfire and Powderkeg still weren't open. We decided to leave. We had already checked out a few shops this morning. We looked around at just about anywhere that was open. As we got off of the tram, we saw from the parking lot a train going on Wildfire.
There were not many people around this morning at all. It's fun to have the park to yourself, except for the small crowd around the new coaster.
I understand why people were upset yesterday. If yesterday had been my first visit to the park, I don't think I would come back.
