Just got to my hotel from a day at SeaWorld San Diego. The park was fairly empty today, everything running at minimum capacity. Manta was running only trains 1 and 4 today, and its unloading station was closed as they were understaffed. They had less employee's than normal in the loading station, only 2 restraint checkers instead of 4. It gave a really really good ride each time, though the trains showed some wear. The padded portion of the lap-bar had spots where the blue paint had worn off, same with the seats, however its still a beautiful train and a beautiful ride. Wild Attic was the next ride, also running reduced with only simulator two running. It was given a new safety/preshow video in the station, however there were some times where the video in the ride itself either didn't sync, or seemed a little, distorted (random stretched blobs). I did ride Atlantis towards the end of my day, and its queue was longer than I've ever seen. However kudo's to the staff for the amazing operations. Atlantis was only using station one, two and three were closed all day long. Even with only one of its stations running, its operations were insanely fast. I timed it and one of the boats dispatched in only 29 seconds. It was still a lot of fun, elevator took the girl behind me by surprise. As the boat pulled into the pre elevator show all I hear from her was "What the **** is that?" followed by "What the **** is this thing." as the boat rose through the shaft. Overall, besides an unrelated event kinda ruining the day for me, I had a lot of fun at the park, and I'll be returning sometime next year.
