Kinda Dead in Here... -- 10/16/09

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby [jonrev] on October 17th, 2009, 1:40 am
Gonna be a quick one because I'm tired and will be ridiculously busy today.

Basically I ate too much before going and didn't feel good until my friend who was my ride home started complaining about the cold and wanted to leave, so I used tonight as an excuse to finally do some long exposure shots with the new camera at the park. Was only there for about 2 hours.

As usual; PM me or go to the Zone for the better pics.

Did ride:
Rue le Morgue; for once got a decent car and got some good hits in.
Dark Knight Coaster; my friend claims last Saturday the misty pipes were working. Not so tonight.
Terror Twister II; Car 12 rocks like a Magikist.
Swamp Whizzer; So dead I could've stayed on it until 11 since I was feeling better, but my friend was too cold to stay so it ends there. Got 2 laps in on it.

Can't see it in this pic, but did anyone notice the fanceh new fountain in the reflection pond? Also; Pumpkin guy is working finally.

Nice photography!

I expecially liked the shot entitled 'spin me round;' I could not figure out which ride it was at first - once I scrolled to the next pic it became obvious.

That is why you keep the park open when it's really cold out plus being a Friday night -- to lose money. In my area, it was raining sometimes also.

Man, I wish it was that empty at Horror Nights.
