Yeah, we actually got 'perfect' coaster riding weather: cold, drizzly, and crappy weather all day -- which meant that there were no lines for most of the day :)
Two of my favorite coaster rides ever were on that trip (which was a group thing with Allen Hall): * Mr. Freeze, at about 8:30PM, totally dark out, front row, with rain falling, and a set of lights behind the coaster shooting beams of light into the sky, hitting a light drizzle of rain as we get to the peak of the ride. * Coming up the hill on the screamin' eagle, and looking around and seeing all kinds of colors of leaves in the entire area, just as we crested the peak and headed down into the ride.
It was just an incredible trip: lots of fun.
I can sympathize with the 'people to go with' thing. Going on your own is something that I don't have a problem doing, but I really just love the coasters. It's *always* more fun with someone else, but going on your own can be fun too; and you can oftentimes get onto rides quicker by hopping on with someone else who is a single.
I really do wish they had a policy that singles could just come up the exit ramp, let the rie op know they're there, and skip right onto the rides; it would make going on your own more fun. Though they're really not in the business of trying to get people to ride more rides: they want more people buying concessions, they don't care about people riding rides :)
Do you guys have a craigslist? Maybe you could find someone to go with via that...
