I was looking at Screamscape this morning and there was a video of Bakken's new Intamin Tornado spinning coaster. That ride looks great but what caught my eye were the restraints. Those OSTRs look much more padded than what I've personally experienced on Maverick. I wonder if something like these restraints could end up on I305? -

I'll miss HB Land for sure. I recall that summer day the opening year on my very first visit to the park. I pinched Wilma's butt in the gift shop next to The Ghoster Coaster. Memories.... -

It's a proactive measure so that in years to come guests don't get confused with Kings Dominion's Diamondback, and Carowind's Diamondback. Diamondback will be the new _____hawk for Cedar Fair. -

What a great topic, I have loved what has been shared so far. -
PTR: West Edmonton Mall - Galaxyland
Sparebear75 replied to Sparebear75's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
To my best recollect it was two native kids and the one in front of me had a blonde mohawk. I thought the park was clean, but it did seem dated even with the newer galaxy theming. To all the bright and airy pictures of Camp Snoopy/Nickelodeon Universe, Galaxyland seemed pretty dark and bunker-like. Also the Galaxy Orbiter and Mindbender stations seemed fair-like rather than what you'd find in an Amusement Park. Those were my initial impressions anyway. -

With the forum outage last night I didn't want to write a couple of paragraphs about the trip and have things go down as I submitted, so here goes... Twenty years ago my parents had planned to take me out west and among the things we'd be doing was a trip to the West Edmonton Mall. Unfortunately that was near the time my parents split up and the trip never happened. Due to Edmonton being way off the beaten path I never did make it up there in the times I had been to Western Canada, however this was about to change. I had to go to Calgary for work, for two weeks, the weekend I was free -

Finishing up my trip to Galaxyland. I took a picture of the onride photo, I'm in the back row. A trainload of riders is about to enter the first loop. The Mindbending first drop. -

More from my visit to Galaxyland. The Space Shot, a S&S double shot. The wicked ending to the Galaxy Orbiter. -

More sights from Galaxyland. You are really close to the ceiling there. The ride spins non-stop from the first drop to the brakes. Taken from the line for the really cool Galaxy Orbiter. Taking action photos in dim indoor light was tricky. -

Made it into Galaxyland... The pride and joy of Galaxyland, the Mindbender. The new and very spinny Galaxy Orbiter. Tons of thrills are crammed into Galaxyland. -

I saw the sights of the mall... I didn't have any intention of hitting the waterpark, but you had a good view of it from the mall. The submarines don't look too used anymore. The Santa Maria replica.
