Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby [jonrev] on September 9th, 2006, 10:39 pm
(Damn, the resizer killed the quality on some of these. :()

Woke up around 11:30, ate a bagel, and left for the park.
Image

Headed into Plymouth Place...Image

...and hit Space Shuttle America.
Image

SSA is still a fun ride and I hope they keep the current movie for next year.
Image

Next I headed to Batman which was fun as usual.
Image
(Why do they have a Batman The Dark Knight POV playing on the TV screen towards the last row??)
Image
Image

This kid looks like he's having fun... :lol:
Image

Walked around for a bit and then rode Deja Vu. Amazing ride!
Image
Image
Image
Image

Rode Orbit twice
Image

Rode Viper and shot several video clips for a new movie Im making.
Image

Rode Raging Bull in back row. Awesome ride.
Image
Image
Image

A sign that Summer is dead, Hurricane Harbor is closed. FALL SUCKS!!
Image

Found the machine in Crazy Buffalo.
Image

Demon was having trouble that afternoon. Trains were getting stuck on the lift.
Image

THE DEMON ATE THESE RIDERS!!!!:o
Image

Both Demon AND DejaVu were closed at the same time. How often does that happen??
ImageImage
Image

Image

CAKAW!!!
Image

Image

Rode SSA again which was nothing special. Shot this photo of Viper.
Image

Characters were walking around the park today. I havent seen them in a long time. I only saw Lola Bunny and Green Lantern.
Image

OMFG IT'S THE EVIL TRASH RECEPTICLE!!!!!! :)
Decided not to wait in line on Eagle. I really hate how you can't tell how long the line is until you get to the other side of the road. It's hard to tell with Demon too.
Image

Headed to Iron Wolf instead.
Image

Shot this from Iron Wolf's station.
Image

Had a fun ride in last row but hurt my ears a bit. I was starting to get cold around this time.
Image

Rode Whirligig which was nothing special.
Image

Rode Batman again in the last row. Almost the entire ride there was some guy in front of me screaming "OH SHIT, OH SHIT!!!" :lol:
Image
Image
Image

Rode East River Crawler and got alot of spin on my car.
Image

You can tell I was tired today. :)
Image

Rode King Chaos. I am not impressed by KC's ride cycle after seeing Twister at SFGAdv. It turns you upside down at least twice as much as KC.
Image

The big painted Super S got repainted finally. (it got really messed up this summer)
Image

Supergirl got messed up too:
Image

Superman in the back row was fun but I think I blacked out on the pretzel loop.
Image

Rode Condor twice and tried to get a good long-exposure shot. I failed.:(
Image

Last ride of the night was Viper. Viper + front row + night time = AWESOME.

THE END

Crowds: Weren't bad at all.
Waits: Nothing longer than 20 minutes. Deja Vu had a fairly short line all day.
Down Times: Besides the usual DejaVu BS, Demon went down for awhile but that was about it.

Pretty fun day. Can't wait for Fright Fest!

To me, it just looked like the S symbol got polished with some soap using a machine. My guess is that then put water on it using a machine to make it clean again. Otherwise, it just doesn't make sense how that could change colors like that. I like the trip report.

I saw you there...I think I passed you in the Demon line and it was pointed out to me that you were on The Orbit same time I was.
