This may be an unpopular opinion, but you shouldn’t be allowed to get a BG more than twice in a 10-day span. If BGs are gone at 5 minutes after opening, then the folks riding it 3 or 4+ days in a week are taking a space away from someone who wants to ride it bad enough to be there before rope drop. That isn’t right. I was behind a group of guys today that had obviously ridden it before and we’re even spoiling it by talking about what was about to happen next. It seems that for some folks it’s more about the thrill of getting a BG than experiencing the ride.
I completely agree with this. I wonder if we had a poll who has ridden this more than ounce it sounds like the count would be high and this is an extremely small number of people being represented here which means for everyone that has ridden it more than once that is a person who wasn't able to ride it at all. Especially for those of us that aren't local and this is a once every few years shot. Personally my family and I will be there March 3rd, that is our HS day. I have 1 shot to ride this ride and I'm going to head to the park early by myself and the family is going to meet me later. It annoys me to no end to hear of folks riding it multiple days in a row because I'm sure there are other folks like me with a single attempt to ride that those multi riders potentially took their spot. Yes I get it you ride it multiple times because its a good ride and you like it but there comes a time in your life where sometimes you just have to say "ok, someone else take a turn".
At the end of our HS day if I get to ride it then great. If I don't then I'll just have to accept that any maybe in 5 years when we come back I'll get to ride it then, but it will be a disappointment.
