Quick TR - 7/7/08

[[jonrev]]

Every Monday I go to a car show in Winthrop Harbor, so on the way back I decided to stop at the park for the last hour or so.

For some reason the base of Sky Trek was blue:


First ride of the night was Whizzer with a two train wait:


Didn't ride it, but the photo was cool:


Was going to ride Chubasco but it broke down as I got in line.


Went to Drop instead, 1 cycle wait.


Around this time the lightning really started picking up so I headed to Eagle before it closed, did about 3 or 4 rides on it, at one point there were only two people on the train, me and some guy. Eagle seems alot more fun with the lightning flashing around it:



With 10 minutes left I ran to Dark Knight. It had about a 10 minute wait, good to get into the Air Conditioning



OMFG CLOWN!


THE EDN


Other Stuff:
Glad the rain held off until after the park closed.

Noticed alot of the lemon-smelling powdered puke-cleaner (I've used it when I worked there and now I can't remember the name of it) being used that day, at Sky Trek and at Whizzer.

Dark Knight's lines seem to get shorter by the day, but I'm glad they added that swinging gate near the entrance to the former Theater Royale.

Eagle's queue needs better security, this lady unhooked the chain that connects the exit path to the queue behind the Wiggles World tent, used her stroller with a baby in it to block the queue, then let some of her family cut into the line that were just coming from the exit path, blocking me and a bunch of people behind me.

I need to get to the park more often.

Glad to here about TDK.

I remember around 2 years ago someone threw up right infront of me while I was eating at the Papa Johns by Viper, and then an employee came over and threw that powder stuff everywhere. I was just glad I didn't hurl on my cheesesticks and coke

The "lemon" powder is supersorb

And boy did it ever get addicting when I used it haha

Anyways, glad you had a good, yet short, trip

^I knew it had the word 'sorb in it.

That stuff smelled for long after the vomit was swept up.

The park looks more beautiful at night...wish I could be there then...maybe when I finally take the bus July/August or September/October. Great pics dude. Ride totals?

Yup supersorb, and it defiantly smells like fruit loops.

For some reason the base of Sky Trek was blue:

thats cool that it was blue because a couple of days ago it was red and the ae lift hill was red white and blue but they took out the red and blue and now the whole thing is white again.......... they should have kept it up for patriatism oh well
