Wild Waves Theme Park TR

Living in Washington state, I don't have a choice of many theme parks to go to during the summer. But, the only two parks in the state are no more than 30 mins from where I live! So I always make a point to go at least twice a year.

For the first three weeks of May amusement ride only admission is only $9.99, so I decided to go with a friend!

I took a few pictures of some of the improvements and changes I saw and a few of the rides.

Sorry if some if the pictures are blurry, I'm still getting used to my new camera.

They're repainting all of the kiddy slides in Hooks Lagoon! It's nice to see them so colorful and shiny.

...On the other hand, maybe they're removing it. That would be pretty sad considering it was only built three years ago.

They're tearing up the Downhill Tubin' attraction. It got some pretty bad weather damage, so they might just be repairing it.

It turns out that they're giving the old Scrambler a much needed repaint, and moving it next to the lake where the Octopus used to be!

Considering how creaky and isolated it used to be, this is a great improvement!

Amphitheater-like place that was used for the extreme bike show last season. I think they had a raptor thing here too?

They're planning on their grand re-opening being May 23rd. Good luck...

The Disko was running well!

The Wild Thing, which was beating people up pretty hard. I sat near the middle and got side-to-side front-to-back headbanging. But hey, it's better than the Rainier Rush, aka Typhoon at the LA County Fair.

Right after the first drop, I'd recommend riding in the first two rows. There's some light ejector air!

The Timberhawks lift

We went to ride the scrambler, and found...

...Nothing but a bunch of seats.

Sad Western theming left by Six Flags

Sad dry fountain that could be nice if they actually did something with it

This would be a pretty nice sitting area if it was taken care of.

A glorious Larson Ring of Fire that has great hangtime.

You basically let your head hit the ceiling.

This thing is funner than it looks!!

These new Whitewater West slides were supposed to be built last year but were delayed until 2015 for some reason. I've heard great things about the constrictor slides, it looks like an awesome addition!

Apparently there are early entry benefits for season pass holders. Interesting.
