THE ONE

Thank you Alan! Thank you Robb & Elissa! Thank you Joey!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Scott, I have been riding roller coasters since I was 8 years old. Coasting for kids is a great cause, and Im excited to be apart of this with Team TPR and make a difference in other families lives that are not as fortunate. Now on to the pictures. Here is my page https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/scott-michels/Valleyfair Me and my wife Chantell at the Chicago Blackhawks game. Coaster Mania 2008 One of the of our most epic photos ever, @ SFFT. Me my wife Chantell and my Cousin Me enjoying a brew during the Hawks game.

Lol. Thank you Chuck! I will donate to other TPR members next week when I have some extra cash!

Don't feel bad Chad, Im the only one at ValleyFair.

Ok you guys talked my into Valleyfair. I couldn't decide witch park to chose. This should be fun. If you can't join me just feel free to donate! https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/scott-michels/Valleyfair

Oh god, I Don't even want to go back down that road. I can only imagine how much worse it would be with OTSR in reverse, it was horrible forward with them on. Well maybe not horrible, but bad!

Definitely going to try real hard to make this event.

That's what I was thinking. A lot can happen before opening day, It could be gone by then, but I dough it.

It really sucks they are closing Jaws for another Potter Land.

We have 3 yellow coasters? Seriously, this is how much I pay attention to the color of a coaster. Just go and ride it!!! Why do people have to bitch about the small things!!! Did they ever notice that Cedar Point has 4 coasters with red track, 5 if you count Mantis. I don't see what the big deal is. If they are good thats all that matters to me!

I'm sure you did.It's amazing that both of those roller coasters fit in that location, then again look were they put Batman. The lines for Batman when it opened were insane. The longest I can remember was 4 1/2 hours, I love that ride but I cant imagine waiting that long now, hell I will not wait 1 hour for it now. So many people were completely freaked out by the seats being below the track. I still miss the Shockwave, it was my first looper. I still remember the year it opened.

I wish I had a picture of Iron Wolf with 3 trains on it but I don't. Matt is my witness. People you have to remember I worked at the park for 5 years 91-96 so I know these things. I still know a couple of managers. 91 I worked in games, 92-93 I worked Iron Wolf and Batman. 94 Rolling Thunder and Whizzer. 95 Viper. 96 Shockwave and Batman. When Iron Wolf did operate with 3 trains the first train had to be out of the corkscrew before dispatching the second train, there was some stacking. Like I said very rearly, only when it was really busy in the park did it run 3 trains. Don't forget that Batman also had 3 trains the year it opened, it ran all 3 trains that first year. I'm not sure about the next year. I know 94 to 96 the third train stayed on the transfer most of the time. The only time the third was used is if some thing was wrong with the first and second trains. On a side note. I'm really happy for the park to be getting X-Flight, their are not alot the these B&M Wing Riders around so this a huge plus for the park. Hopefully the people that were bitching about not having a major coaster since Superman in 2003 will shut up. I'm really excited for X-Flight Matt thank for backing me up.

The first 5 or 6 years Iron Wolf ran ,it had 3 trains. Very rarely did the third train run.

Yeah, witch brings me to this comment. Millennium Force is not even half the ride New Texas Giant is. Why the hell is it #1.

This is a great addition to SfGAM, I cannot tell you how excited I am. To all the people who were bent out of shape about not receiving Chang this year. How do you feel now, I'm glad that the park decided not to install Chang.

There was also the Shockwave rumor from SFGAM going to SFFT before the rumor of it going to SFNO. I really hope the Rattler gets the NTAG treatment, no other wooden coaster deserves it more than the Rattler!!!

How about the rumored Batman Themed B&M Flyer for SFFT.

Just purchased my tickets, I cant wait!!

Yes. I attended Holiwood Nights in 2006 and they ran all 3 trains during ERT Saturday night. I'm not sure about Friday night.

I think that is a great idea. Robb sorry to here that you are having these problems, People can be so rude. I love this site. all the people I have met here have been great, and I have have had a TON of fun. Screw all those TPR haters!!!

Snowmobiling is allot of fun, especially out west in the mountains, the views can be spectacular. Glad you are enjoying your selves.

Robb you have done more Snowmobiling than I have this year, and I own 2 Snowmobiles.

I would have to go with The Outlaw at Adventureland.

I did get a chance to download the original video before it was removed.
