I think I rode Thunderhead with you. Awesome day at DW despite the chilly weather and CROWDS. Nice pics.

Ride Thunder Run in front, middle, and back. They're all wildly different experiences. The front has a surprising bit of airtime.

Thanks for the aerial CP and all your pics as well. They're fantastic! Still I think GG could have worked some magic to accomodate the lift facing the water, but what do I know. I wonder if it was ever a thought.

Nice little TR. You know I've pretty much always had a good experience at SFKK, so I'm not sure why it has gotten a bad rap over the years. Yes Chang rules all stand ups including Scorcher and Riddler.

Looking awesometacular. I hope it's ready by my July 4th trip. I think my only complaint with it is I would've rotated the layout 180 degrees with the lift hill facing the water. When you got to the top you'd have a fantastic view of the Gulf...then swoosh and swoop. As it is now, the water is behind you as you're going up the lift with no view.

Sky Princess was a much better name. DuWo should have at least gone with a "Dutch" theme for the name change. Still, it's my fav junior/kiddie/family woodie!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it to be open by the time of my July 4th trip.

Where are the Deluge construction pics? Come on surely someone has a few.

Anyone know if Nightmare opened yesterday?

Sounds interesting. I hope our indie theater gets it!

T2...hmm people call it Batman now? Weird I have never heard that before.

If you go to Beech Bend, the Corvette Museum is also in Bowling Green, so your dad might be into that. I highly recommend Kentucky Rumbler!

Yes...on, under, inside and around. The lift hill walk up was a little unnerving.

I went this past summer. The guys who lease the park were SUPER nice to me. They even gave me a walking tour of Nightmare...I mean actually on the structure. See my pics here: http://www.pbase.com/nightmarewichita/root http://www.pbase.com/wichitanightmare1/root I really hope they can get the coaster up and running. It looks like one that would easily rank in my top 20 or so.

Amazing pics. This really makes me want to visit during the Christmas season, but alas I won't get back til Spring. Hurry up Friday the 13th!

Lol yeah that was a fun day standing in the pouring rain waiting for it to open.

Yay for Starliner. Probably my favorite woodie tunnel moment ever.

I was there. Awesome day! I think it was even better than SP day last year.

Hey great TR. I think I passed you guys over near Sogo at one point in the day. I too hit The Varsity, but it was about 6:30 by the time I got there. I always have to stop there when I'm in the ATL. What a great day at SFOG!

I've been going to DW since it was Gold Rush Junction and after that Silver Dollar City. When it was GRJ, it had a wild mouse which isn't even listed on RCDB, but it and the flume were the only big rides. I never got to visit when it was Rebel Railroad. Over the years, it has only changed for the better IMO. I wouldn't want a chairlift either, but a sky ride with themed gondolas wouldn't hurt in my book.

Why not link all 3 stations for a complete loop like what BGE did? I'd LOVE for DW to add a sky ride. Imagine floating over the hills looking down at the park and out at the Smokies.

But at this point there is money to give Shapiro a 30% raise from last year. http://denver.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2006/10/02/daily21.html

Great pics. Thanks for sharing! I loves me some DW.

Coasterjunkie...MM is supposed to open Friday the 13th of April '07.

Yep Holtskee I know how Rockin' Roadway is laid out. I also know how Zippin Pippin is laid out.
