All I can say man, is go for it. I still remember at 10 years old going to Six Flags Magic Mountain and being scared looking at X from the road coming up to the park, and saying to myself (I'm NOT riding that) but by the end of the day, I had conquered by fear of coasters, and ridden almost every one in the park. I even went back to ride X but it had a 2 and a half hour line so I didn't. But the point is just go for it. The worst thing that could happen is that you don't like it. . .

HA! I can just imagine it now, you're floating through the PB and Babe scene, and instead it's the shrine of the silver monkey and there's some animatronic of a girl who can't get the head on and you hear Kurt yelling "Ohh she's having some trouble.. OH A TEMPLE GUARD!"

DAMNIT! I was all ready to listen at 5 in the morning to get my chance but NO. Crap this sucks I know I could've done this. Oh well. I guess I'll have to convince PR at Valleyfair to resurrect Survive it and drive it (Marathon Wild Thing) I'm trying to convince my brother to do this

I think Knotts should do a mummy theme to one of their haunts in the future. I have a HUGE list of haunt themes and most of them haven't been executed so it'd be cool to see some of them be done.

New Aquatrax!

^ I agree. I really like the look of it though. I really like the look of the trains too.

I am actually looking forward to this, but I'm sensing that some Knotts Haunt Fans are already disappointed. Excluding Quarantine and the Labyrinth one, those are all recycled haunts. > Alien Annihilation 3-D laser tag - Kings Dominion has this haunt as well as Scarowinds, > Slaughterhouse - Worlds of Fun has this, as well as Valleyfair, Canadas Wonderland, Kings Dominion, and Scarowinds, > Club Blood - Kings Dominion has this as well as Kings Island and Canadas Wonderland, and Dorney is getting it this year too, > Cornstalkers - Kings Island has this one as well as Dorney (getting this year) Canada's Wonderland, Valleyfair, and Kings Dominion, Even though they are recycled, I still bet that Knotts will find a way to make them the best in the chain.

It's the return of triple nipple!

I thought Knotts was amazing. I thought it was easily better then Disney.

Aquatrax!

By the looks of the lines, I'm glad I'm getting a flash pass gold!

Wow those things look beast. I want one

No idea about the Flume, but it'll be staying at MOA for a while. . . and that construction is for a new restaurant.

Everything looks stunning as usual!

Holy. . . *Faints* It doesn't look that smooth but the support work looks amazing!

Awww KT is just a little cutie isn't she haha. This thread is flippen huge! I bet it'll outdo the mavy one even!

17 year old too. . .

Steel Venom, front row, 10 PM (Closing) - Valleyfair

Here are some I took at the fair (Valleyfair) Riptide Xtreme Swing Riptide

Ahh I love those kinda rides! They look really fun!

Even when there's not much to look at it's still pure eye-candy.

From Screamscape: I think that Valleyfair has a bright future, they just need to change a couple things. First, I think that any person who knows about 2007 knows that Valleyfair was supposed to get a B&M Invert, but then Cedar Fair decided to test out a GCI woodie, and that's how Renegade was made, and that's why WOF is now getting a GCI for 09. We're definitely due for a new Coaster at latest 2011, but I doubt wthat we'll get the Invert/Floorless for 09. It's too soon in my opinion. Another thing I'd really like to see is a new/updated waterpark. I was talking with a couple employee's and they all agreed that the current one is out-dated and needs to be updated. I mean, not having an update since 1993, that's pretty sad. What are all of your guys' thoughts & opinions?

Everything looks great to me! I really love how simple this site is, yet it's probably the biggest & best on the web in terms of forums & features and such. EDIT -:- I was just searching through the Calendar/Events page, and I think it'd be cool to possibly have a feature where you could mark which events you are attending, and then possibly have a little mini-calendar in your public profile, or on your signature that shows what events you're attending. Just a thought.

Well, this will be on the longer side so get your reading glasses on! So I went to the park yesterday from 9:30-10 (ERT-Close). Got there to see a line of about 20 people waiting to get in, so being the cool season pass holder I am, I barged through, and walked right in. Taking a couple pics on my way to Xtreme Swing & Wild Thing, I didn't see anyone. No security, no workers, nobody! Kinda similar to walking to the front of the park after Coaster Craze. . . So I quietly walked over to Xtreme Swing, looking around saw no one there! Thinking to myself "Okay was ERT another day?" 3 ride ops walk out of the booth and let me in. 4 rides all to myself! Very fun, but again kinda eerie seeing nobody through-out the whole park. So after 4 good rides on XS, I headed over to Wild Thing! At least there were ride ops here, but again nobody else was there. . . I got 4 rides on that, and as soon as I headed towards the exit after the 4th ride, I heard the national anthem playing, so I headed over to Power Tower. I got 2 rides on red, and one ride on blue. After that, I was kinda hungry so I decided to go over to Coasters. I asked for a bacon cheeseburger with fries, but I got a cheeseburger with an onion ring in it, with fries. Oh well. Free onion ring! After Coasters I decided that since I had the whole day to myself I'd hop on over to the Hi-Test Arcade. So I go in, break a doller, go over to the game that drops the ball down the tube into the holes, and first try, JACKPOT! 328 or 329 tickets! (I can't remember exactly how many) So with my mass amount of tickets and little kids watching going googley-eyed over how many tickets I had, I cashed in and got a harmonica! Okay so think about this quick, if you're at Valleyfair, and you have all day to do anything, what would you do? I'll answer that later. So after I won stuff, I decided to head over to High Roller. Got the way back seat on that, even though I had to walk way back to get to it (They didn't have their stopping stars on duty yesterday) After that I headed over to the Ferris Wheel to get a ride in on that, and that was great. So after Ferris Wheel, I headed all the way back to Mad Mouse to get a ride on that. I got on, and was paired with a family of 3. The mom & dad sat in back, and the daughter sat next to me. After going up the lift hill I look over, and the girl is staring at me. I'm like "Okay. . . " during the whole ride, she's just staring at me. Creepiest thing of the day. After the ride was over, I quickly left, and headed back to Renegade, which had about a 0 minute line which was nice. After that, headed even further back to Excalibur, and because I wanted far back car, I had to wait a cycle. (Yes. . . Excalibur had a longer line than Renegade) Then I decided to head back over to Wild Thing. Now back to my harmonica story. . . So on the lift of Wild Thing, nobody was really on the ride except for maybe 10 other people. So I decided, hey why don't I bring out my harmonica? So I started playing! Very fun & funny. Got a lot of laughs. But I didn't have it out for more than a minute remember no loose articles are permitted on rides. After Wild Thing, I felt like riding Ripcord, so I headed to the front of the park. Signed up for a time, got on, rode it, and had a nice convo with the ride ops, got off. Then I thought to myself, "Hey that was fun! I wanna do it again!" so I signed up for another time. While suiting up, I talked to the girl who was on bird named Jenni(fer). She said the most rides on Ripcord in 1 day was 14. Me being the nut I am, thought to myself "Psh that's lame. . . I could go for 20", so I did. It was great talking to the ride ops, getting to know the ropes of the ride & such. Later, after ride 9, it started clouding over, and it was closed due to wind & lighting. I thought it was pass quick (it passed after about a half hour), so I waited it out. After only a minute of being down, 3 drunk guys from Duluth came up and started making conversation with the whole crew in the hut. VERY funny. I also learned that Anisha, (another Ripcord ride op) hated Valleyfair and that she was quitting next week. I told her to stick it out til August but she refused and referred to the park as Valleyf**k. Oh well. So after the ride re-opened, I got in a couple more rides, and made friends/conersation with about every person who rode it. It's great to see how friendly most people are at the park. I constantly got stared/pointed at while I was up there, and then after, they would all come up to me and flood me with questions about it. My funniest experience with the ride was after number 12, two girls were riding next, so I did my little Q&A period. "Have you been on this before?", "Are you scared?" etc. . . So I was up after the two girls rode, and so sitting on the platform, the first girl who looked to be my age (15+) looked to be like she was having a heart attack. I asked "Did you like it?" and she responded "NO! IT WAS TERRIFYING!" I just laughed. Then she said "Are you going on this again?!" And Jenni told her like she told everyone else that went "Yeah this is gonna be his 13th time today." and the girl screams "ARE YOU F**KING ON CRACK?!" I burst out laughing and almost fell of the platform. So anyways, I went back to grab some dinner, then came back, and got rides 14-20 in. It was really great talking to the crew and getting to know stuff about the park & such. Anyways, I went back to Wild Thing, got 2 rides on that, then came back to Ripcord hoping to get another ride in before I left, but Eric said that they were all booked. Oh darn. . . So I got front row seat on Steel Venom and went home. Hilarious, and really fun day! Okay, so now that you've waisted probably 10-20 minutes, let's get onto the pictures! Oh wait. . .
