Sun's
up, time to ride.
We headed straight to Mr. Freeze and was running fantastic as usual.
I love the hang time coming back up through the top hat. You
get a few moments of just hanging there against your lap bar looking
down through the structure where your brain automatically goes
"CRAP" before sending a nice burst of adrenaline through your
system.
In celebration of the Screaming Eagle's 40th season the
World Bird Sanctuary
which rehabilitates injured bald eagles as part of their mission
brought a couple of these majestic birds to the park so people can
get an close up look at them.
Living near the Mississippi as we do during the winter eagles are
not uncommon to be seen flying around, sitting in a tree at the
local mall or feeding down by the river (we take a lunch and go
watch) but it is really cool getting within a few feet of them and
getting to look them square in the eye.
We were both a little bit surprised seeing the line for Superman
Tower of Power out of the queue and down towards Fireball.
This was a sign that the park is just a little too packed for our
liking.
