Major Rehab work done on Greezed Lightnin' at SFKK

I dont typically post stuff from Screamscape, but here are some photos of the rehab work being done on the Ride formally known as Tidal Wave.

Check out the pictures here from ScreamScape

According to the website, the peices of the ride where from PGA's old Tidal Wave ride.

Thanks for finding the pics. So sfkk is using pices of PGA's ride which sf bought and using them on the one at sfkk?

^ Thats correct sir.

That is a waist. Has anyone rode it? How rough was it? Im sure the parts they dont use will be sold as scrap metal.

At least they found a good use for the PGA Tidal Wave instead of recycling the entire thing. It's kinda cool that the two MGA Tidal Waves will now become one ride.

The ride is 30 years old, so of course its going to have some wear and tear... When I rode it at SFKK the issue with the ride was it not going all that high on the back spike..

Then again the only ride like that that really gave alot of airtime was Montazuma's Revenge. Astroworld's Greezed Lightnin' was pretty much the same airtime wise as SFKKs.

Not only it being 30 years old is a problem, but the fact that it went to two other parks (SFOG, and now SFKK) from our home park. I think the painting has something to do with it. :lol:

Back when it was Tidal Wave at GA, it wasn't that rough at all. For its day, it was a halfway decent ride. One night, I managed to get 7 consecutive rides on it.

Its kind of interesting that they used a tidal wave picture on there site. Oh well thats sf for you.

On which site?

by **msoeagle** on February 18th, 2006, 10:56 pm

The sfkk section of sixflags.com

That can't be Tidal Wave since TW had a white train.

by **msoeagle** on February 19th, 2006, 9:27 am

^ Which one do you think it is?

by **rct2wizard360** on February 19th, 2006, 9:33 am

It's a photoshop from what I looked up.

Atleast the train is.

It could be Astroworld's but I believe their Greezy had a darker blue track.

by **msoeagle** on February 19th, 2006, 2:45 pm

^ Yeah it did and it didnt have yellow trains.

by **Trailblazer Tony** on February 19th, 2006, 3:15 pm

What color was the one in Georgia?

by **msoeagle** on February 19th, 2006, 6:23 pm

^ Orange. The Greezed at SFAW had yellow trains at one point but was ever that light blue.

by **Galvan** on February 19th, 2006, 7:13 pm

I think PGA's Tidal Wave was Baby/Sky Blue w/ Yellow trains.

by **msoeagle** on February 19th, 2006, 7:24 pm

^ Your probably right but I can find a pic that has yellow trains.

If I go to SFKK this year it will be the first ride I ride there.
