Was at the park when the announcement about the announcement came across, so that was kind of cool.

Got to the waterpark at noon, thinking that the place would be deserted, and my daughter and I would be able to walk on all the slides. Bingo! Hardly a soul there. Did all the slides and tube rides we hate waiting in line for, 3 or 4 times.

Upon walking to the park around 2:30, DB was a virtual walk on. Oddly, seemed that all the silly rides were long lines. Monster, BLSC(which I will NEVER understand why someone would wait 30-45 minutes for that), Surf Dog, AE, among others.

Anyway, rode DB a few times, got to ride the Blue Racer finally this year. Blue side is very, very rough compared to the Red side. Needs some track work in a bad way.

Kicked around, played a few games, waiting for the Reds game to start. My daughter, a rabid Reds fan, has wanted to eat in the HOF Grille all year, and, we figured we would watch the game that started at 3:40, and eat.

Half price beer during the game was a nice touch, however, the food...YUCK!

We both ordered burgers, they were like hockey pucks, both came out wrong, and the Saratoga Chips were burnt beyond recognition. Sent the first two back, the second effort, while less burnt, were not good at all. Still overcooked, chips still over done. Not a good meal at all, will not EVER go back there, unless for a half price beer, if that opportunity presents itself.

Left there, went up the tower to see progress on the new ride, wandered the shops on International Street, headed home around 7.

A fun, easy, relaxing trip, but very, very disappointed with the food at the HOF Grille. Had high hopes, having read some of the reviews here. Bummer.

The Diamondback is cool! Wish i was there that day!

I totally agree! a few weeks ago the blue racer was down....so it was continuous rides on the Red Racer. Not once do I remember my back feeling like it was hitting a wall of bricks...as we went over the hills....but when I got onto the blue racer recently...I got off of it....saying "good god, you just killed my back"

I'm not a fan of their burger either or chicken sandwich but like everything else and always get fries instead of the chips.

Wednesday was a great day for rides. At the end of the night it was so dead that I got two straight 5-1 rides on Vortex without having to get off.

I personally think both Racer's are running better than last year. But thats just me. Wheel Seat ride?

Sounds like a great time with a good assortment of rides
