going tomorrow night for some private event that isn't that private but private enough that lines are very short

I've got nothing on the plate for Saturday morning so I'm thinking I'll go the extra mile to Milwaukee and grab some Kopps afterward

CME NIGHT!

I ended up going on all the rides except Goliath (went to bathroom and got a drink) and Joke (too spinny)


I still like American Eagle and Batman the best.

Superman was underwhelming. Dark Knight was out of order.

My dad had a bad back and knees or was just fucking lazy and didn't want to ride and walk all day so he just played Skee Ball and flirted with the women all day.

Fun Fact: My first job was at Great America @ the carnival games section back in 1991.

I was in line for 75 minutes before it broke down last week. Didn't seem likely to be up again any time soon so we bounced. Looks like it'll be fun but 1) damn is it short and 2) with only one train and slow loading/unloading...wait times are excessive.

The good news is that wait times on Raging Bull and Goliath were crazy short.

Hopefully we will ride it today.

Maxx Force is good but not even close to as good as raging bull and goliath. Too short of a ride.

Seems accurate. Launch coasters are a thrill but don't give a complete experience.

Very Sad.
