Valleyfair! 8/19/11

[Cole]

Minnesota… one of the boringest places on earth. Luckily we were able to find Valleyfair! after 6 hours of driving from Milwaukee. Valleyfair was a nice little park with a awesome coaster in Renegade! Seriously this thing kicks ass. I was skeptical about the curved drop but it ended up being awesome! It has some really nice GCI air and it has a awesome layout. Its more of a mini Gravity Group coaster with Millennium Flyers. It was a little rougher then other GCIs I’ve been on but didn’t bother me much. Wild Thing was alright. If you like floater air this is definitely your ride cause it has a crap load of it. They had a decent collection of coasters and nothing really sucked. Anyways on to the photos.


Valleyfair!


Wild Thing is just gigantic.


Support Enthusiasts must love this ride.


Weird looking Morgan Hyper trains.


We naturally hit the Intamin right away figuring it’d break down sooner or later.


The holding break on this HURT. I don’t understand why you GAm people want it back on V2.


At this point I was screaming “TWISTY! THE RIDE IS TWISTY!”






This thing looked fun, painful, and wet.


Wild Thing just towers over everything.


Typical Cedar Fair queue.


I promise this isn’t the last of the Wild Thing lift hill pics.


This thing was plain awesome.


Oddest flat ever. This thing just rocks back and forth like a swing!


What’s that in the distance?


Renegade: Outlaw Coaster


GCI blur


I apologize for the lack of Renegade photos. Its impossible to get any shots of the first half of the ride.






Millenium Flyers have these sexy grills.


Renegade in the distance


Unfortunately this is my only photo of Excalibur. Pretty decent ride, the trims really save you. Its another hard to get photo.


Mad Mouse


This Arrow Mouse has some airtime.


Probably my favorite mouse anywhere, but that’s not saying much.




Cedar Fair just has to put seat belts on everything…


Corkscrew, running one train…


Wasn’t as bad as I expected, definitely not worth the half a hour wait at all.


Corky drop


At Valleyfair (and some other CF parks I’ve been to) They have this mid day matinence check on the ride where they shut the ride down, thoroughly check the train, and do a few test runs. Well I’m sure %99.9999 of the time nothings ever wrong. Thanks for wasting 20 minutes of my Renegade time VF.






Artsy!


Again


Walking in to the park I thought this was a bobsled! I was just a little off.


Splash!


High Roller is just a awesome, old school, kick ass woodie.


I see you.


Airtime!


I don’t know if this thing was rough or not because the cars were just so damn comfortable! I could fall asleep in those.


Just a awesome ride.


Why hello there.


This thing is TALL. Anyone know how tall?


Upskirt shot


You can go up, or down. (Up is better!)


Just plain fun, a drop tower done right!


More Wild Thang


Bert the Conqueror taught me that this hill right here has the longest stretch of airtime in the world!


Oh s……


Told you it wasn’t the last of them!








This thing sat closed… all… day… long…


Didn’t ride this cause it looked plain painful.


Back to Renegade!


Wee!


Ready to go!


Final airtime hop!


No caption needed.


Thanks for having us!


Bye Valleyfair, thanks for the GCI and credits.


After a epic hide and seek game at Ikea.


It was MOA time!


At this point, my camera ran out of battery, so I apologize for any people anxious for MOA photos.

At MOA we basically rode Spongebob and Avatar a bunch of times, took a spin on the new Brain Surge ride (which is awesome!), then left.


Thanks for Reading.

Sounds like you had more fun at VF! than I've ever had

I forget the height on Power Tower there but I think it is the tallest set in the world just edging out Knotts.

Sucks that Extreme Swing was closed, it's easily the best flat in the park. The topspin is actually a lot of fun (and gets you soaked) because you're not sure to focus on the ride or the water.

Glad you liked Renegade and High Roller. Valleyfair isn't a park that is going to satisfy a big coaster enthusiast who is only looking for big thrills, but I like the park for what it is, a smaller park that caters to the thrill seeking Minnesotans who don't know that there are coasters over 250 feet tall.

Wild Thing really does suck though. Worst hyper ever.

Wild Thing wasnt to bad, definatley better then Magnum. I thought Mamba was better though.

Is it rough or boring or both. Why don't you like it

[FParker185]

Better than Magnum? Wild Thing is the only hypercoaster ever built that features no airtime what so ever, anywhere. Closest you get is 0G on the first camelback.

[tribar]

^He probably thinks Magnum is rough .

Actually it is but that's what makes it fun. Of course he loves Hades and i hate it.

Atleast on Wild Thing It didnt feel like I was going down stairs.

[BP317]

I also like Wild Thing better than Magnum. Magnum and Desperado are by far my 2 least favorite hypers.


Anyone else think it's funny how they just painted as far up as their ladder could go?

ValleyFAIL.

[tribar]

They probably thought that the GP would not notice.

[FParker185]

I like ValleyFail! However nothing can beat the long standing and time honored tradition of yelling ValleyUn-Fair! every time a coaster you are on hits trim brakes (which the park has to have more of than any other park in the world)

As FParker said, its a hypercoaster with 0 airtime. It's smooth, but its just boring.

Of course, I'm in the camp that loves Magnum/Desperado, and those are on the total opposite end of the spectrum from Wild Thing / Mamba (which I also dislike)

[tribar]

Are all Morgan's like WT and Mamba?

[tribar]

Is Wild Thing this boring
