Chromer, I would like it if you give me all the details. The parents keep bitching about details. Like all the important things to highlight.

[Chromer]

Well Pae, the breakdown is this:

1. The park opens at 10:00 AM I think. Everyone should meet at the Burger King across from the entrance between 8:30-9:30 at the latest. That gives us enough time to meet and greet before we pile into Chin's car (or if your parents want to drive you in) and go into the park.

2. We get our tickets and start kicking ass. We'll plan what we want to do when we get inside the park.

3. Around 12-1ish, we'll be heading back to the parking lot to eat lunch. If you have money and want to eat inside of the park, that's fine with me but let us know where you'll be. We will be at Chin's car eating lunch that we brought in coolers because KD's food is expensive.

4. After lunch, we head back inside and kick more ass. Since I don't know how the weather is going to turn out, bring swimwear just in case it's majorly hot so we can cool off in the water park. The rest of the day is having more fun.

5. Now comes the fun part: actually getting home. Chin and I are ok but I'm concerned for Nyo, yourself, and Naruto. I hope you guys have cleared what time the park ends or will bring a cell phone to call your parents to pick you guys up. The park closes at either 9:00 or 10:00 PM, I'm not sure.

6. Now I need people to call me to confirm or tell me what they have problems with. I'm going to regret this, but my number is 757-563-8051. Call if your parents or yourself have any concerns.

[Nyokou]

Sounds good. I'll have to talk to my parents about this tonight, and my friend.

[Chromer]

I need to talk to Chin. My ride there depends on him and I don't want him to pull a Ricky on me at the last moment.

[Nyokou]

Yeah. :/

My mom doesn't want to spend so much money getting us inside and stuff..

[Squeek]

My advice to you all:

Head to Volcano first. You're going on a weekend. If you don't hit Volcano first, you'll never get in.

Problem is, despite the fact that the park opens at 10:00, they don't open the paths to the better rides until 10:30 (or was it 11?), so you you have to just sit and wait until the guy lets you in. Then it's a mad speed-walk / jog (they get rly pissed if you run) over to Volcano. Assuming you walk and let everyone by, you'll still only wait half an hour. If you go later in the day, you're looking at four hours.

Also, I highly recommend not taking a backpack, and if you do, take only one. Find pants that have zipper pockets.

Anyway, the (obvious) longest lines are Volcano and Hypersonic. So, I'd hit those first. If you have chickens in your group, well, prepare to wait.

[Chromer]

That's common knowledge to those who've been there Squeek but thanks for the reminder. I will be honest though. If you guys are looking to go on Drop Zone early in the morning, you can count me out automatically.

[Nyokou]

We should hit the popular rides first, and then we should probably go play DDR (if anyone wants to) before lunch time, because I'm pretty sure if we go later in the day, some of us (like me) are going to be really tired, sore legs, etc.. but I guess that applies to people who aren't used to walking like hell everywhere all day. >_>;

This is going to be fun. =)

EDIT: I'll also be wearing my FFR shirt. rofl.

WTF? I'm home alone until Monday too! Also, I'm going to see if I can borrow some money too because I only have $62. O_O

[NarutoFoxDemon]

ONLY?!?o.o I would kill to have that much, I had 60, but when I went to Busch Gardens on Wednesday...well..I got carried away.

[Chromer]

NVM. I only have $41. MY asshole of a little brother stole a $20 out of my wallet when it was in the bathroom this afternoon and tried to make it look like nobody touched it.

1. I'm gonna kick his ass when he gets back this weekend.

2. Now I need to borrow money from someone or I might not be able to go. =(

[NarutoFoxDemon]

I hear Chin is willing to share

[Nyokou]

I'm really tight on money myself. This is actually going to be the only time I'm going to an amusement park this year, so I'm lucky to even go..

._.

[-paexaea-]

I barely go to amusement parks at all, let alone once a year. It's more of a lack of transportation and being glued to the computer all summer rather than not wanting to go.

Somehow I actually agree with that.

Drop Zone is actually one of the harshest rides in the park. Oh, and the Tomb Raider thing is pretty freaky too.

Roller Coasters are fun and awesome. I'm never afraid to ride any coaster. But those kinds of rides are not my cup of tea.

I've been on both. They're so-so.

I got mad, because on the Tomb Raider, some chicks beside me were yelling and **** beside on either side. Not only that, but the restraint keep riding up on my crotch. It sucked for a little bit.

[Nyokou]

I heard that Drop Zone was closed down because they're doing an investigation after what happened at Six Flags. :/
