With our last visit being very early in Bond's riding career I figured it best not to push him too hard.  On one of our visits to Six Flags St. Louis mid summer he agreed to try Batman out.  The rule is he has to give the ride a honest try and if he he doesn't like it I won't ask him to ride it again.  With that in mind he tried Batman.  A few feet after the first loop he screamed out that he loved it and from that point on he was had been chomping at the bit to try out Patriot.



Bond loved Patriot like I thought he would.  I just asked him which is his favorite inverted coaster and the answer was Patriot.  My boy's got taste.



We just kept riding and riding Patriot.  Every couple of rides we'd switch where we were sitting and just had a blast going around and around on it.



By the end of ERT we had something like fifteen laps on it. 

It was funny, I left a little early to grab a few photos and a line of Worlds of Fun's regular park goers were all lined up waiting to give it a ride.  It was kind of fun listening to some of the conversations as a few of them were discussing how there were "experts" testing out Patriot who are paid to ride it every day in order to make sure it's safe.  I wish that were so as that would be a job that I'd have plenty of experience in and would gladly do.
