Closing Day 2006

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby Danhockey04 on October 30th, 2006, 12:33 am
Crowds: semi-crowded to crowded
Weather: Sunny mid to upper 50's
Closed rides: All usual Fright Fest closed rides

So we arrive at the park with me, Ally and Eric. We head over to Vu which is cycling very well until it was signed off and the operators got the ride. It miscaught, then we left. Then we meet up with Chris and his friend, Joe and Alex (all post here, I dont know about Chris's friend though). Then we went onto Terror Twister and had the 4th song, the worst of the four, the spinning was alright.

So then we went over to Bull and rode that and saw Vu miscatch again. We got off Bull and saw had people on it, but the ride was still closed. We then noticed it was a bunch of employees on the ride to simulate the train having weight.

Then Vu finally opened, we weren't on first dispatch, but who cares, right? Well, it miscaught first dispatch tower two, so not a big deal again. Second cycle, runs perfect, then we get on. We miscatch tower 2 and get our free soft drink coupon.

After this we walked around for a bit then left for Ruby Tuesday's to eat and watch the Bears whomp on the 49ers.

We get back walk around for a bit, go into Necro and see LAFF at 6:00. We get out and head over to Vu, which was just reopening from a brake down. We get off and they cut off the line and we get back in the "line now forming" and wait. They then close the ride for the year after 4 more cycles. So we had the 5th from last cycle on Vu unintentionally.

We then meet up with the rest of the group after this and go into Necro. We get out and go to BTR for a last cycle on that. Then head towards Wolf and get a last cycle for that too. We also see That Guy there too.

Finally we make our way over to Bull for last dispatch of the year. We get on the red train row 9 for last ride of the year, same way I started the season.

We get off and that's the end of SFGAm's 2006 season, which the second half of the season was very good and made up for a not-so-good first half.

Not a bad way to end the season with free drinks, miscatches and final dispatches. Great ending to a great season at SFGAm.

Totals:
Vu: 2
Bull: 2
Terror Twister: 1
Iron Wolf: 1
BTR: 1
Necro: 2
LAFF: 1

Just random pictures in no particular order.

Dude, that miscatch rocked. After we got going again, I totally blacked out until we were back in the station...
