Sept 5th...

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby Jackluver18 on September 5th, 2009, 11:45 pm
Got to the park right around 10ish and got on Sky Trek first before heading to Whizzer. Got front row on Whizzer, waited about 15 minutes since the park had just opened so there wasn't much of a wait. Decided to skip Viper today so I went to Bull front row and got the whole row to myself on Teal train (evil) which was really fun. Next I watched Dance Party and then had lunch before going on SUF which had a really long line today. Watched day parade and then went on Whizzer again then I walked on TDK (which looked to have a short line as well) and then went on Sky Trek again before going on Demon 10 times around 6 before going Batman and V2 2 times each and then going on Whizzer the rest of the night. Now line wise, SUF I think was the longest. I didn't go to Eagle or Viper like I said so I don't know how long lines were there, Demon's line was 15, Whizzer was 15, V2 was 45 or less I didn't really check but to me there didn't seem like a lot of people even though it was a holiday weekend. But it was a good day, I have some pictures from last sunday and today which I will put up later. But this is my last trip of the summer until FF so I can't wait to see how FF is this year.

Sky Trek-2
Whizzer-9

Thanks for your trip report. Even though you aren't talking about it, when I went to the park, for Whizzer there are tires that are attached to motors to make them spin. Well, there are 2 tires in the station, and those don't look bad as in worn out, but right before the station, there are 2 more tires, and those look absolutely terrible.

The less tread you have on those tires, the more the train isn't going move so fast, and they are going to burn a motor. Is that why in rain, the ride gets shut down because of those tires. Don't the mechanics see they need new ones?

^ Not sure if that is the reason, but Tig'rr at Indiana Beach closes in the rain as well. It is also a Schwarzkopf coaster with similar design in it uses the same idea of Whizzer on a smaller scale. It might just be a Schwarzkopf coaster deal.

Whizzer's lift is run by electricity.

Electricity + rain + moving train + forest surrounding ride = does not run in rain :)
