New Amusement Park in Alabama for 2016
mattguyver replied to larrygator's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I had a chance to visit while the park was open. Here are the pictures I managed to take that day. https://business.facebook.com/832516676820317/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1118534471551868 And here is a POV I shot of their Cyclone Coaster It's really sad to see this close so early. The owners honestly had their heart and soul in this project. I met with Stacey, the co-owner, while I was there. She gave me a tour of the park, explaining all it took to build the park, where all the rides and decor came from, and how they had their 2nd and 3rd phases of the park laid out already. She was super passionate about it and genuinely wanted it to succeed. It's a shame it had to close before it really had a chance to take off. -
Olympia Looping (Cranger Kirmes 2015)
mattguyver replied to CoasterB's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I still will never forget that on one of our tours we managed to rent out Olympia Looping for an hour before the Wurtzburg Fair opened. Over half of the people on our tour took one or two rides and then stopped riding because it was "too intense." I had never seen such a large group of roller coaster pussies in my life! So many people I know would kill to have an hour on that ride, and most of them just treated it as a "one and done credit." Such a waste. Next time we do ERT on Olympia Looping, I'll let you know and you can be my riding partner! That's such a waste, they should be flogged! This is #2 on my coaster bucket-list. Must get on it at some point! -

I was one of the featured riders on Steel Dragon 2000. It was a fun experience shooting it, but I dread watching it. I think I'm probably gonna look like an idiot. Lol! -
