On the way there I noticed the "landmark" Grand Tri-State Business Park sign was gone. Seems like everyone in Gurnee is changing signage. Gurnee Mills did theirs a few years back, Great America replaced the "Giant T" for 2007, and now this one's gone.
OK I'm done babbling, time for some breakfast:
Random bird likes Cheese Roll-Ups
I hate driving on the Grand/I-94 overpass with the construction barriers up. The Fiero has such a low roofline that it feels like driving fast through a narrow tunnel.
They toned the fog down. Boo...
You can hear this guy babbling all the way from the Nostalgia McDonalds
Wandered around "Random 51" for a few minutes:
Random UFO crash.
Random theming... like some kid on RCT2 plopped them there
Hello again old friend, randomly placed in the walkway
Time to ride something...
Ooo scary
Terror Twister is by-far running the best it has been in years. The strobe light is way better synced than last year
"Line jump... I dare you."
Demon stuck on blocks... hmm...
Decided to see Susan Rosen for the first time in 2 years. Small crowd so she didn't make anyone do fun stuff on stage.
Demon still stuck on blocks... what the hell?
OMG THEY DUG MOAR OUT!
On a side note...
When you can't afford awesomeness...
...you build it:
Anywho...
Crap.
Eagle stands out more now that the green pile of crap is gone... *cough*Splashwater Falls*cough*
Revz' cool Fright Fest sign
Revz going fast
What happens to stupid people jumping fences at Six Flags
Rawr...
Necropolis. More on that later.
Monster Mash didn't have any line
So that's where all the blood in the King Chaos' pool comes from, the idiot bees that drown in it
Colorful...
...and we're back
CoasterDude Car!
"CONSTIPATED!!"
Yummy...
No more twigs tied together!
Kuh-KAW!!
Camera battery died so it was time for a Coke break:
Signage
Random scaracters wandering around Southwest Scare-tory
Time for another round of Terror Twister
I'm Ignoring You...
Riccochet was running great today.
[see sig]
I'm tired and it's late. No rotate for you.
SHOCKWAVE!!!1!!
What a wonderful couple...
Larry watches over King Chaos
Had to ride the new "Holding Brake-Free" V2...
It, for whatever reason, got stopped on the launch track a few cycles before me but got going again very shortly
ShockWave stairs?
THANK YOU!!!
Ran out of memory card so I grabbed the other one in the Fiero...
Random Columbia shot
I like the new cityscape but miss the B&M gag on the other wall.
For once the tunnel looks like it did years ago
"HIT AND RUN!!"
Weren't they having trouble getting a new net for this back in 2006? Guess they gave up.
This looks like it's going too. Sad, I loved that huge climb thing when I was a kid.
Made a run to Eagle for the end of the night
Ended up being the last rider of the day.
Cool... closed... but cool.
THE EDN
On the way out I encountered some rude security guards. When I asked where to go to get to the Washington St. exit they gave me a weird look, one of them looked at me saying "C'mon... please." The other one said go see the security guard at the other end (towards Grand), which wasn't there.
Rather than get into a war hellride with a security guard about getting to Washington, I decided to take the long way. Of course it was backed up due to what looked like a nasty wreck. It looked like there were 2 ambulances, a few squad cars, and a fire truck on the scene. Can anyone else fill me in on that?
