Postby [jonrev] on October 20th, 2008, 12:43 am
This PTR is brought to you by Fridays
Image

The trash receptacles will watch over the Fiero tonight...
Image

Cutting back even more on the fog :(
Image

Have'nt been on this in 2 years, this ended up being the longest wait all night
Image

SHE WILL KILL US ALL!:shock:
Image

Lady behind me goes "It smells like dead people in here" Gee, wonder why...
Image

And I thought those dancing fat guy commercials were total crap, holy hell...
Image

Dead ride #1
Image

Trippy King Chaos photos
Image
Image
Image


A shiny nickel to whoever guesses this ride
Image

Batman broked so I rode this instead
Image

Well, at least it has a fitting title. Some of the people singing tonight were total crap.
Image

LEWK! THEY POURED TEH GRAVEL!
Image

Demon called in sick on Monday so I was glad to see it running tonight
Image

He's Waiting...
Image

Snakes. On a Train!
Image

Dead Ride #2
Image

Time for Video Game: The Ride
Image

Mmm... spiral lifthill
Image

Birds runs in the dark this year, this trippy photo sucks.
Image

Dead ride #3
Image

"Blah blah blah"
Image

The Scary Part
Image

Failed attempt on getting a photo of the cars with part of the plastic theming chopped off
Image

Kyle at TDK says hi.
Image

Some stuff for you BuckyBattle fans, I'm surprised to see how much theming will be going into this thing. It would still be so much better in Yankee Harbor.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Demon was the only place that had the fog turned way up. Thank you!
Image

And... dead ride #4
Image

Trippy Riccoslay photo
Image

Dead ride #5
Image

Rode this 4 times and got to listen to the Lead give some idiot kids a war hellride because they were joking about the S:TOP accident.
Image

Dead ride #6
Image

Whee
Image

Trying to do an artsy photo
Image

Yummy twisty spike
Image

Now this is getting scary
Image

Edned the night at Batman. Anyone else get the whole flying Batman logos thing on the TV?
Image

Fog machine still wasn't working :x
Image

Spooky
Image

THE EDN
Image

Very good night! Crowds were very minimal and I was able to do alot in 4.5 hours. I wish they would up the fog back to where it was the first weekend though.
Somewhere in Florida a village is missing its idiot. He can be found in Washington D.C.

This just proves how better the park looks during the summer. Depressing, dreary, dark and creepy is all I can think of. Yes, this is October. I get it. I just don't think the park is nearly as appealing and fun now than in the summer months. I hate how the water rides are closed. How it gets dark so soon. Cool photos.

^ That's the Demon.

And Friday night was really great for rides and re-rides. Most people avoid Fridays because its only open for 6 hours, but you can do WAAAAYYYY more in those 6 hours than on a 10+ hours on Saturday.

Good photos Jon :!:
On the the Newly remodeled Karaoke Stage, the video monitors just looks terrible :!:
I would upgrade to use a system that shows the video of the song with text scrolling
on the bottom of the screen.
I seen this a cruise ship before.

When Karaoke is not going on just American Music Awards: Backtrack to fill in space
Just like what Ent. Dept did in ShowHorse Saloon with live country music and video in between the shows
during the last half 2008 season.
Plus enjoying food from Mooseburger Lodge :)
Party all Night, Sleep all DAY!!!

That's the point, but the park is usually dead at this time which makes it a good day (AND NIGHT :D) to go.

^And by "This time..." I mean October.
