Schools are back in, Big E is open, Frightfest not started yet = small crowds. I arrived about 9:40 and it was very quiet waiting at security. At 10:00 they opened and I went to the gate which opened a few minutes later. It was a very small crowd waiting for early entry. At 10:20 it was in and down to STR but closed for maint. DAMN So shift gears and go to WC. Long walk to WC get there - closed - word was that it vallied during testing. DOUBLE DAMN LOL So new strategy was rides on Batman and Riddler, both OK, and then go check on STR. As I arrived at STR a test train went out and I started the line. I got the front seat on the first train of the day at noon. The bugs were thicker than I have ever seen. They are usually heavy near the brake run but today it was the entire circuit! At the end there were numerous dead bugs on my glasses and I had to brush bugs out of my hair and off my shirt! I have never seen anything like that outside of the Cedar Point Muffleheads. I stayed longer than planned to get that ride so I headed for the car. As I got to the car it was drizzling and soon after it was pouring so the timing worked out for me. #Post#: 1161-------------------------------------------------- Re: SFNE 9/14 By: Mrceagle Date: September 14, 2019, 11:32 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Outside of a few maintenance issues and the bugs, it sounds like a good trip. I opted to go to the Great Escape today. The weather was much more favorable. outside of a few drops here and there, it was uneventful. #Post#: 1225-------------------------------------------------- Re: SFNE 9/14 By: dellice45 Date: September 30, 2019, 9:47 am --------------------------------------------------------- Its great to see everybody having a great year at SFNE !
