Must not have ridden Ricochet or Nighthawk (unless first thing).

This is why I always go on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursdays.

Nah, I don't ride those. I always go on those days as well, just don't have a choice this time

Does anyone have an idea how crowded this Friday will be? I've been going to the park almost every other Wednesday and haven't had a wait over 20mins and that was a night time ride on Fury

Every Friday is different. Last time I went I waited about 20 minutes for Fury at night and no line for anything else. Sometimes Fury has no line at night. Weather can play a factor in this. If it is hot or overcast out, it is likely that there will not be a lot of people there. However if it is cool and sunny, you may expect a larger crowd.

Ok so something really bothered me with my visit today. While I was walking back to my car I noticed no less that 7 vehicles parked in one row of handicapped parking with no placard nor tag. Now most could care less and may see it as a non-issue, but I do. I grew up with a handicapable mother and all too often had to deal with trying to get her chair out in a normal spot vs a handicapped one. Granted there are ample handicapped parking spaces designated, obviously many are being abused by those that are lazy and inconsiderate. And frankly this is one of the easiest things that security could keep under control if they choose to. I may be the only one that this bothers but I just had to air it out

If you are that passionate about it, you should have went back and notified security. Things like that don't get much attention unless someone complains.

Just like I notified security about cars being parked in parking spaces that were removed in the new lot for traffic to navigate between each row. That grinds my gears. You clearly see arrows have been painted for thru traffic.

Thanks for reading! I had fun writing!

Went to the park today with my Uncle and cousin, here's my scorecard:

Scrambler: This was actually my first time ever riding this, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It wasn't actually dizzying, and the laterals were great.

Fury: 2x Fun as always, towards the end of the day this thing felt like it almost had ejector.

Electrospin: 2x Insanely fun, I just love letting loose and letting the ride toss me around like a ragdoll

Plantz vs. Zombies: Meh. It has air conditioning, so there's that.

Afterburn: Again, fun as always, nothing significant to report.

Intimidator: I thought this thing was crawling a month ago, but today it was flying. A return to form with a great drop and great airtime.

Woodstock Express: 3x (there was no line)

Flying Ace Balloon Race: Just not for me.

Goldrusher: 3x

Rock 'n' Roller: Another extremely fun ride in the County Fair, and possibly the fan favorite. This thing had pretty moderate lines all day for a Wednesday, and it seemed to have a longer line than the other fair rides.

Anyways, I saw markings in Planet Snoopy and in the Carolina Showplace, so we all know what's about to happen. The markings in PS seemed to be near the railroad though

Best themed music express in the CF chain.

My only two complaints is the plain aluminum material on the top behind the sign, it looks cheap and kitchen-y. That and the lack of the tunnel wall.

[pproteinc]

I do still wish for the tunnel as well. It still looks great tho. I just want them to either put a back light behind the Rock N Roller sign letters or shine two soft spot lights towards it.

[RW_Fury325]

If you look at the 45 in the middle, the 'song' is titled "Bye Bye Lunch"!

[carolinaman]

^^ I agree, light the sign up somehow. I know it's been said before and it does look really good like it is but it still would be nice to have different color lights instead of all white.

[FamousAmos]

All you'd have to do to light up the sign is add one light to each of the light poles on either side of the ride and aim said lights at the sign. The reflective material that the sign is made up of will catch the light and reflect it back. Probably one of the cheapest ways to light up that ride sign.

Also, I'd like to say that perhaps the tunnel isn't there so maybe the driver can see all of the cars and passengers.

The only reason that all of the lights are white I'd assume is this... it's a 1950's County Fair. LED's didn't exist then. So this is the more classic look.

Well Josh make it happen.
