Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby [jonrev] on October 9th, 2005, 12:23 am
Ok, so after having to chase my bird for 10 mins. to get him back into his cage...
Image
We headed for SFGAm. We arrived at about 6. Parking was not bad and it really wasn't that crowded. Immediately Steve and I headed for DEMON.
Some Pics along the way...
Columbia looks cool
Image
Black Sky Whirl Cage
Image
Meh...
Image
OMFG!!
Image
DEMON looks SO cool...
Image
WTF is with the rats?
Image
Fog everywhere...
Image
All I can say about what SFGAm has done to DEMON is WOW!
Image
Another Demon Sign pic...
Image
Last DEMON pic... (Demon totally rocked!)
Image
Walking through Carousel Plaza we found this guy... (Not Scary)
Image
We're heading towards Batman and stopped to watch ERC and talk to Kyle (holydumb) since he was running it tonight. I've never ridden ERC but after riding it tonight I loved it. My favorite flat now...
Image
Today's Weather : FOG. They had more fog than usually in the storm drain by Batman.
Image
After riding Batman (and loving it) we watched Whirligig...
Image
Image
We (Steve & I) rode V2 row 14. Best ride I've had on V2 ever! :D
Image
After our ride I got a call from my mom (I was there with my family) to go to the carousel for the parade. Colombia still looks good,
Image
So we watched the parade...
Image
The green bird freaks me out...
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Dead Elvis!
Image
Why is it that when I look at this picture I think of Independence Day?
Image
Cemetery looks good.
Image
Larry the Monkey has gas :lol:
Image
Bought some souviners and headed home.
Image

Lots of fog and red blood pools on the ride.

By the way: That "Green Bird" is an "Instant Martian" character from Marvin's old cartoons. I love the ballerina costume. I saw a lot of Wile E. Coyote Today. wherever I was He was there. Outside Necro, In CP, in LTNP. Everywhere!

There's red lights everywhere and fog all over. In the first tunnel there's red lights that look like eyes. There's also fog in the first tunnel. The ride looks amazing :!:

Demon is awsome! I love the sign. The song, eh, but the sign and the
fog effects in the tunnel, before the lift, were awesome.

I spent nearly 4-5 hours, just in Necropolis! I love that area!

FrightFest this year scores a 10 out of 10, in my books.

There is fog in the first tunnel, the second tunnel, and right after the second corkscrew (only at night, and which seems to go off after the train passes).

What the should do now is make the lights in the second tunnel go in a spiral like back in the day, would be even better.

^ Those are cool! :) My friend brings her good camera to SFGAm, I just use my camera phone, cause I don't want my camera to get lost or stolen...

I have a 64mb memory chip. But I turn the quality down to shoot the longer videos and I take so many pics it eats up the chip really quick. Otherwise, I'd turn up the quality.

BTW, I uploaded some videos that I shot there...

oh, I see. I have a 64mb chip also for my camcorder/camera and it eats up a lot of memory and battery. I like the V2 launch video.
