Even though we paid $30 to get in, waited an hour for the corkscrew (longest wait of the trip), we still had fun.
The paint job REALLY makes the ride look nice. But in reality there all old...same with the flats. But it's amazing what a paint job will do.
There flats have long cycles but aren't as intense as GAms.
What could have been a 20 min wait turned in literally 60. They send the train around twice (just like some other old Aaron corkscrews) and they take there time checking restraints.
The sign on the left side of the station on the stairs says "what a rush". But I thinking "WHAT A LINE"!
Looking out West, you can see the Rockies. Yet they are still a 30 min drive away.
The soundings of the park, and actually Alberta in general are pretty beautiful.
Wooo! Only coaster of the day!
WHAT a RUSH!
Calgarys nickname is "Cowtown". And the line was like a bunch of cattle in a slaughter house.
Except for the line, the park was actually very nice.
Best enterprise ever. It's a HUSS for one, you load and unload yourself, you check your own restraint, the wheel spins slow so you swing like crazy.
Even though I am an ultimate whore. I didn't even bother or care...I just wanted to get beer and get to the hotel in Edmonton
So I never got my door checked...and it just stated. I was like "WTF"?
Almost good shot from the Enterprise.
Not holding on, while swinging like crazy makes a fun ride!
I was tempted.
The fishing pond was pretty cool.
The upcharge that costs a "Toonie"....the name sounds more like a sex toy though. Sponsored by Co-Op (the crappiest gas station company in the prairies)
This is honestly the first "true" family park I have been too (Besides Disney). Six Flags should come here to learn a lesson about family parks.
Weird..
A beautiful park, in a beautiful setting. If only they had a few good coasters.
Why can't parks realize that simple can be fun?
Here you can see the parking lot.
This park did have a lot of sponsorships and ads, yet they were not as "IN YOUR FACE" as six flags. They tried to blend them in and incorporate them in with the existing park. Not just slap billboards all over the park.
Got to Calgary, went through some CRAZY traffic from "Stampede" and road construction. After a little over 2.5 hours we got to our hotel in Edmonton.
mmm...beer.
