I'm new at this so give me a break.
So we woke up at around 7:00 A.M. and headed out on the most INTERESTING stretch of roadway ever built.
So we decided to pull off for some food at around 11 A.M.
I have never seen one of these before. I was so amused.
Time for more highway!
But my mom wanted to stop at this place called "Rockhome Gardens." To you know, re-live her childhood and what not.
And the place was pretty...dead?
But they had these crosses...
So it could only mean...
OZZFEST 2007!!!!
But it got more interesting.
You see, they had a hen in a cage and apparently it was "educated."
So what it did, is, you put in the quarter and then a light went off.
The hen would peck at the red string and a toy would come down.
The hen would peck at the toy until it fell of that ramp into a box where you got it. Its reward was food.
If you thought that was awesome?
I played Tic-Tac-Toe with a freekin hen!
And lost....
You may all laugh now.
And then I saw what I thought was Deja Vu's queue...
Then we left.
And stopped for gas this time.
Cheap as all hell.
After around four more hours of driving, we pulled off the highway.
To Dale.
As you can see, Dale was awesome.
But wait...
A SIGN!!!!!
So here we are!
But we had to find our hotel first.
It wasn't that easy since we turned the wrong way.
But because of our mistakes, I saw me a Voyage!!!
So I got into the park for a few hours.
But well, I only have pictures from the first FULL day.
So yeah here we go.
We got to the font gates at around 8:30. I had my season pass already so it was all good. And we got to the entrance to Thanksgiving only to be roped off. At this point I decided to join in the run. So I ran...
...made a wrong turn...
...and still was 2nd in line!
Go track!
Then we had to wait 52 minutes for Voyage to open.
This thing has insane downtime for a wooden rollercoaster.
But it opened. And here she is!
Yeah Captains Quarters!
And it was the best woodie I have ever been on.
Except for Two train op...
But apparently the third train was hit by something.
This ride had THE BEST queue ever. Can't rate it against my steels, those don't have the airtime.
I rated it 10/10. In my opinion, front has the better airtime on this by a Mile.
Back has ejector, front has floater and you can feel the G’s.
Next I decided to hit up...
It was around a 30 minute wait. But while in the queue we got to watch the divers practice!
Sure enough, this ride was amazing. Amazing airtime in the back, loved it.
The few drops it has pack a punch and this shows that size doesn’t matter.
9/10.
So next of course I ran over to...
But to my disappointment...
She was closed. And it was for about the next 5 hours.
By the time I got over there later at night it was packed.
And that queue is hot as all hell.
But when I rode it the night before...9/10.
Great layout down the hill, amazing.
In between all of this I was at one of these every 10 minutes...
And ate all of this for only $4.00!!!
Holiday World sure can price things right!
After the coasters we decided to ride...
With insane A/C action!!!
And this wise lady told us how to use a Turkey Caller...
Unfortunately I could get any pictures in the ride itself.
But well...they were really trying to think of a shooting Dark Ride that didn't involve killing turkeys. Heh. Turkey Callers. I can’t get over that.
After all of that drama, we decided to cool down.
The water park was very nice. The Lazy Rivers had a good current to them.
8/10 for the water park.
So after a few more rides on everything it was sadly time to go.
And back on the most interesting stretch of road…ever.
