Well, here it is. My first trip of the year, to my favorite park in the world. I'll get right to it.
I got there, and it was CROWDED. I don't know why, but every parking space seemed to be filled. I mean, I had never seen it that crowded. Ever.
So we went in, and got our wristbands, and set off along the park. My first ride at an amusement park of the year was the Galleon. There we met Chuck whom you might remember from my other one and he actually remembered me! That probably made my day.
After that, uhhh, I think we decided to go on Twister. I don't know what it was, but the rides I rode on that rollercoaster that day were some of the best rides I have ever encountered on the coaster ever. It was definetly great.
Then we went got some Dippin' Dots, and walked over to check out the new Fandango. On the way, we passed by the lot that used to hold the infamous Whirlwind. As I passed, I literally had a moment of silence for my first ever upside down coaster. **R.I.P. Whirlwind. You will be missed.**
So the Fandango looked cool, except I actually expected it to go fully upside down! Needless to say, when I saw it go only halfway I was a little disapointed. Alas, I did not get a chance to ride the Fandango, as the line was an hour( ) wait, and stayed that way for the whole of my stay.
So, after that, the line for Phoenix was a little long, so we went over to the Super Roundup. Here's a useful tip: ***Never go on the Super Roundup when the sun is very bright!** I did, and I had to keep my eyes shut for the whole ride. But, i was still a good ride.
Then we waited in line for the log flume. A great, relaxing ride, as always. Whenever I am overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the park, I can count on the Flume to take me away from that and give me a great ride.
Now, the legendary, the awesome, the Phoenix (from here I will use my "language and use the letters "ph" in stead of the letter "f"). The Phoenix was phlying phrightfully phantastic today. I managed to snag a seat in the inphamous "3rd seat". Needless to say, it lives up to its inphamoucy. I was also very proud of myselph, as this was the phirst time I was able to leave my hands up for the whole ride  . At the end, my phriend's little sister (who was phive!!) came oph with a grin and immediately said, "Can we do that again??!!" That just goes to show, you don't have to be young at heart to ride the phamous Phoenix.
After that we rode the Twister a second and third time, which was getting better each time we rode. A funny story, me and my friend were acting like goofs and asking everyone in the line if they were "pumped" or "psyched" for the ride. We asked this totally gay "wanksta" and he says "Don't f**king touch me, motherf**ker." We laughed our heads off for the rest of the ride.
Then the Flyers. Oh fair Flyers, how fair you fly. I had 'em snapping like notime. My friend's brother and his friend were in the tub behind me, and they could not believe how high I was taking those babies. I take my hat off to adriahna, and how she taught me to snap, and snap well (even if she didn't know she did).
We then rode little rides, here and there. Power Surge, 1001 Nacht, and the Satellite, to name some. Alas, we did not get to ride the Skooters or the Haunted Mansion, as their lines were both ++hours long. That will come another time, and how it will.
So, we leave you fair Knoebels, with only the purchases we have purchased, and the fleeting wish that we might come back someday to bask in your beauty and funnel-cake smells once more.
The End.
