SFKK Opening Day Photo TR 4/1/2006
SonOfBeastSucks replied to SonOfBeastSucks's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Thanks Bill, Justin, and Zach.. Zach, Yes, there is also a Columbus in Indiana. I am trying to remember which side of Twisted Twins was running, I just don't know the color. OK, You are walking through the line, and you get to the part where it splits into the two separate lines for each side. In this case the right side was running. AKA the only side that is ever running. -
SFA to Close Doors Forever
SonOfBeastSucks replied to coasterfreak101's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I thought for sure that this was an April Fool's Day joke. I am sorry that you are losing a park that you live near... I'm sure a few key coasters, such as SROS, will be sold to other parks or placed elsewhere in the chain. -
The off season is now over.

Despite the fact that I have a cold and am sort of in the process of losing my voice, I decided to go to SFKK for opening day. The plan was to leave by 9, but we did not get out the door until 9:45. It was rather cloudy and cold in Indianapolis when we left, and it stayed that way for most of the drive. Outside of Louisville, we were caught in the middle of standstill traffic for around half an hour. One of the bridges into the city was closed, so every vehicle trying to get into the city had to go over one bridge. Once we got on the bridge, the traffic suddenly got back to average speed and the park was in sight soon after that. We entered the parking lot, and payed the small parking fee of $5. (That is the good thing about the park sharing a parking lot with other things.) We finally entered the park around 12:30 with the tickets that we printed off the Six Flags website, which were $10 less than buying them at the gate. Once we got into the park, the first thing I did was buy a Diet Coke. The price was insane! For a medium coke, it was $3.70! After that, we entered the line for Greezed Lightning. This was my first coaster of the season, and my 70th credit, and also my first shuttle loop. I enjoyed the ride! I liked the forces and the ride was overall good, and a nice addition to the park. After this, we went on the bridge to the other side of the park. Chang was the first thing we rode on the other side. The line was about 30 minutes long, by far the longest wait of the day. Something noteworthy is that there are no large shades over the queene for Chang. I don't know if that is new this year or not, but they were not there the last time I was in the park. It was only running one train. I liked the ride and had minimal headbanging, but every other person in my group said that they thought it was way too rough. After Chang, we walked to T2 next door. It was actually running two trains. I really don't mind SLCs, but this was rough today. My head didn't bang much, but it did a few times. As we were walking down the exit path, the second train hit the brake run and two guys on it were screaming about how bad it was. Next, we walked over to Thunder Run, which was running one train. I love this ride, and today was no exception. I have had better rides on it, but the airtime was still good. The line was also long for the day, at around 20 minutes. After that, we walked over to Twisted Twins. Only one side was running, and it was running one train. The ride was only a one train wait. We rode in the front, and while it was enjoyable, it was rather dull. Because the line was so short, we got in line again, and walked onto the back. It was much better in the park, and had very good airtime! It was so much better the second time. After TT, we did a few flats. Then, we went to Roller Skater. I already have the credit, but it was fun to act like a credit whore anyway. We then went back to the front of the park and rode the enterprise, and then got a second ride on GL. We were all pretty much in the mood to leave after that, so we headed out. On the way though, we got in line for Hellavater and waited a few minutes. It was a good ride. -Random comments- The park staff was good for the most park. Some were bored, but that is fine I guess. The park stayed clean all day as well. Also, I noticed several of the new Papa John's scattered throughout the park. They were stamping hands for readmission to the park for those who wanted it. Also, they now have employs to stand in the restroom, which I have never really seen at a park before. It was a good day at the park! After we left the park, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel an exit or two away from the park. Now, here are some photos that I took... Welcome back to Indiana... Time for a healthy meal at CB... See you later SFKK! Fox News was filming at various locations in the park through the day One of the several new Papa Johns in the park Standing in line for the enterprise Chang Greezed Lightning... I WOULD have taken this shot with the train in it, but I took it from the car. Some of the standstill traffic outside of Louisville On the road to SFKK!

Yeah... I'm not really sure how I fell about the whole "open relationship" thing either.

First Coaster of the Season
SonOfBeastSucks replied to MSLSM's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My first coaster of the season ended up being Greezed Lightning at SFKK earlier today. It was also a new credit for me. -
Yes. Are you going to a park today?

I have a bad habit of growling, barking, and occasionally biting people.

1/2 Scottish... other than that, I am not sure.

First Coaster of the Season
SonOfBeastSucks replied to MSLSM's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I am going to SFKK tomorrow, so it will be something there. I would take a guess and say Chang, but the last time I went, we walked around hopelessly lost trying to figure out how to find the bridge to get to the other side of the park. -
Papa John's and Six Flags
SonOfBeastSucks replied to ParkTrips's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have had better pizza of course, but as far as national pizza chains go, this is one of the better ones in my opinion. -
One of the reasons that the United States started a war with Iraq is because we thought that they had weapons of mass destruction. Not only has North Korea admitted to having WMD, but the ruler of the country has threatened to use them. Because of this, do you think we will ever start a war with North Korea? Also, would you support this war if it ever happened?
-
While I agree with you that the Iraqi people will be better off in the long run..... the conditions are worse right now, during the war, than before it began. Also, even though the WMD were not found, I actually do support Bush for taking Hussein out of power for the risk that there were dangerous weapons in Iraq. Having said that, there still could be WMD somewhere in Iraq, that just haven't been found yet. In 1996, when the UN let Iraq start selling oil in world markets again so the country could get funding for schools and hospitals (etc), I have no doubt in my mind that some of the oil profits were going towards bad things, such as WMD. As for the topic of the thread, I do not believe that the United States had anything to do with the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

^^ You can legally skydive before you are 18, you just have to sign some extra forms and stuff like that.

I saw Inside Man earlier tonight. It was the best movie that I have seen in the past few months. Not only is Clive Owen one of my favorite actors, but the story was very good and the ending was unexpected. Also, for those who care, the Coney Island Cyclone is shown at the beginning of the movie.

I would also love to sky dive, and I will when it is legal for me to do so in less than five months. I have a lot of friends who have skydived, and all but one loved it.
