Valleyfair! 5/22/04

Let us know how your day at the park was.

We left for the park at around 9:30 and got there around 10:25. We headed right for Wild Thing, which was about a 10 minute wait. The first drop and the second hill had nice airtime, but after that the ride just sort of dragged on. I noticed that the lapbars on this ride were really strange. I'm a fairly large person, and the lowest notch of the bar was still pretty high up.
Next we went on High Roller in the back row after another 10 minute wait. I liked how there were no dividers and the bar was just one fixed point, but it wasn't as fun as it looked. I was starting to see a pattern.
We then headed for Steel Venom, and got in the front row after a 5 minute wait. It wasn't much different from V2...which wasn't surprising. It was really loud and jerky on the back tower during the stop though. We went on again in the front row. It was pretty much a walk-on the second time around.
We went on Chaos six times afterwards, and didn't even have to get off. This is one of my favorite rides anywhere, but it was somewhat slow compared to others I went on. Normally when other places (state fair in wisconsin and such) run it slow you can just scream at the carnies and call them names and they'll run it again a lot faster, but there were a lot of kids around and I didn't think the ride op would have appreciated it much.
We went on Excalibur last, which was very disappointing. It was very slow and short, and didn't really do much. We left after that at around 12:30.

Did Steel Venom get new supports?
