Twister II

Might as well add some more pictures to give the 'true' feel of the park. A lot of pictures. Hopefully, its days are numbered. More soon. ...and it sucks. Its very old. The breaks have problems every day, the paint is faded, and with the ride company, clearance issues always arise. Wii (yes, horrible name, I know) is the only inverted coaster in the park... Wicked Wheel is the oldest ride in the park. The systems are very very old, and often fail a lot. Troy is one ride every patron should experience. Troy, the Intamin/GCI, is using a new type of powered lift. It gets the train up the first hill, fast! Realism is mostly on the rides. All of the rides have a control system and for coasters, transfer tracks (unless not needed). "All clear for dispatch" Mosh has still got the coolest helix Chaos is new, with the updated system for safety!

I don't really know what to say about this park. Its called The Greeley (pronounced gree-lee) Experience. As of right now, the park is relatively small. Having 4 coasters, 3 thrill rides and some other stuff. Check it. I wanted to do something similar to John's 'yearly updates'. I really like that idea, but yet, haven't developed the park enough for that. Enjoi This is Troy, not a recreation, an Intamin/GCI coaster. It's pretty much amazing! More soon. Mosh is the Mack spinning steal. It was a throw up name between Mosh and Slam-Dance, but that's for the park in later years... With this park, Im trying to go for more realism. Insanity is the park's first coaster. Behind, we have another midway with some nice buildings. Once entering, a big ol' fountain greats you! It says HI The entrance. Does anyone know where I got inspiration from?

But when two guys make out the whole world going to hell! Haha! The boy showed up yesterday, to bad I couldn't get a picture of us together. Im still trying to get him onto Halfpipe. -Taylor "Having a BF that's afraid of heights sucks" Radford

A few years ago, Elitch Gardens was suppose to be getting (from what I understood) a chairlift transport system from the main entrance to where Twister's entrance is.

^ Or they could of put more research into the design of the ride and re-support or redesign the 'arm'. So this way it would keep the same thrill factor, but be much safer. - Taylor "surprised no one has said anything yet about girls making out" Radford

I enjoyed Gwazi when I rode it! Yes it was not very smooth, but still I would prefer to ride Gwazi over Twister any day. Maybe because I'm a sucker for GCI's. =P Gwazi does have some air, unlike Twister's one pop of air now with both trims.

Smooth...my a$$. I've notice more flower beds pop up around the park. There really isn't much at all different with the rides. Not to much different with employees. The only major differences are the signs around the park and everything posted above. Really now? I would of said yours' looks better! The grass is always greener on the other side of the country... I was using this video:

That has always been there for service stuff. There is a mesh fence (not visible in the picture) covering the ladder.

Over the past month I have been going to Elitch Gardens quite a bit. I must say, there are some things that I've noticed that are good, and some that aren't so good about the park changing management. One major change is security. Security is now everywhere around the park, with roving security guards and new security cameras in place. Another is cleanliness. The park this year is much much cleaner than past years. I walked into the bathroom yesterday and was like, "WHOH! I might actually be able to go to the bathroom and not get crabs!" Even though still, I would never use a toilet at any park if possible. There's quite a bit different with this park besides the signs, the only way to truly see it would be to go visit the park. But who would want to do that? On to the photos: "JENN! Go vandalize the park, NOW!" $50 is like, 3 days worth of parking! The new water slide, RipQurl is coming along, but still has a bit of work to be done. Now you don't even flip much anymore. I still prefer the older version better. Also making a return for the 2007 season, Chaos. Now with ultra-suckage action! Elitch Arena is where the new X-City BMX show is. I have yet to see it, from what I hear though, its a lot going on at once and very hard to focus on one anything. It seems to go quite fast when your only standing 3 feet away from it. Halfpipe is still running well. Hollywood & Vine needs to be changed to Lincoln & Olympic. So Shake, Rattle, and Roll is now 203,412.073 feet long. ...one day it will be like "Oh, I'll be nice!" and the next be "Okay, I'll be a bitch today!". Majority of the time its a bitch. This ride is very bipolar... Everyone loves Sidewinder...even Jenn... Never before seen shot of Sidewinder from Spider! Oh I got de skillz One of the few places you can still sit under a vertical loop and have a camera dropped on you. I think Rainbow will open later today... Call me crazy, but Boomerang is very smooth this season. Dare I say smoothest I've ridden? The new fence around Boomerang looks very RCT-ish. RAWR! I have claws, yes, I do, rawr. Boomerang threw a platypus! This is probably the ONLY photo and only time I have ever see the tower running all three sides. Recently only one side has been running, or its been closed all day. Tower of Bitch. These whores love to damage the youth of America. This is where goats come up with evil plans to eat penguins, BWAHAHAHAHA!!! But don't get me wrong, its still a good ride. TRIM POV!!! And another set of trims over here. The ride really is not that great any more. No more airtime, barely any G's. *sigh* New for the 2007 season, NEW TRIMS ON TWISTER! BOO! Even Twister's trains got slapped silly with new logos. The new logo is everywhere around the park. Even the sign says 'Thank You' for changing. See, cameras....lets flash it.... "Hello, Im the Obs Tower. I eat babies up here. Yes, Im always closed, leave me alone!!!"

It looks like a really fun ride! I'll try to get out this summer to Cali.

What Are those videos because the only pov's i could find were animated And the others were testing footage. Please post links! A few on YouTube of testing, no POV's - Heartline Roll: - Testing Video:

Im still waiting for a decent video to come out. The ones on YouTube just don't cut it

$3.01 here. I get a 3c to 10c discount with Safeway, so around $2.98. I remember about a month and a half, it was $2.08 and with my 10c discount it was under $2.00.

Kinda reminds me of Iron Dragon's station.

I think the scissors got me, I was cringing!

Looks pretty good! Can't wait to see some more progress.

AQUATRAX!

You can find the new Elitch Gardens website at www.elitchgardens.com The yellow is just buggin' out my eyes!!!

What about Soaked? Wild? Custom-scenery packs? I'm guessing that thrillrideseeker would be judging.......

I don't see any Lego-women prostitutes or flyers. Cheeeeeaaaaap....

Very cool ride!

The way it is right now (yellow font with gray background) I'm liking much better!

This coater looks SICK!

Those slides are a lifeguards worst nightmare. I work at an indoor pool with a whimsy drop slide. It's the only place in the pool area were just about all of the guards have had saves.

That's interesting. Since 2 and 3 were filmed at exactly the same time, so wouldn't the thirds effects pretty much be the same as the seconds?
