Me being silly (kinda, sorta, IMO,YMMV LOL!) Saturday October 20, absolutely superb weather in Agawam, MA? No traffic issues, arrive at SFNE 45 minutes before rope drop? Very few cars in parking lot upon arrival? Gates open 30 minutes before rope drop? Season pass processing center open and with barely a line? In and out of SP processing in 15 minutes with new 2013 Gold SP in hand? Arrive at Goliath for first ride since re-location? Discover and use Goliath's single rider "slot?" Picked for outside seat on Goliath (row 12 of 16)? Consider Goliath ride good, smooth, no headbanging, enjoyable? Use single rider line on Pandemonium? Get front row on Cyclone with two train wait? Return to Goliath and use single rider slot for second ride? Happy with seat assignment on Goliath (row 2 = outside, front)? Get stuck at top of Goliath's second tower for 15 minutes? Use resultant exit pass at Bizarro? Notice no line and take ride on Arkham Asylum mouse? Notice Bizarro line is quite long and crowds bustling in? Decide to leave after having a good 2.5 hours considering getting the SP was priority one, and a few good rides were had, with some added never-have-experienced-before excitement? Many cars in parking lot upon leaving?

From what I heard you got out just in the nick of time! Other sites are talking of monsterous lines and waits on Saturday evening at SFNE. We were there Sunday with very manageable lines but I guess Saturday was especially tough after the heavy rain on Friday.

Easier for you to spot me, most likely.

That is why it sucks not knowing what people look like on here.It would have been cool knowing you would be there and meeting you.Do you have any pics?
We all could put photos in our profiles, I suppose (those of us that created profiles, that is).
But I prefer to keep my "highway identity" in mine.
