I thought it was a decent ride when I rode it back in December 2005. It must have gotten rougher or neglected as far as maintenance goes over the past couple of years.

Did you go to "Options" and check the box "Export plug in objects with saved game" ? -Sam

It all depends on what you get. There are various packages for on ride photos. -Sam

Rockin (Original Club Mix) - Alphazone Can't wait for the new Alphazone release: -Sam

Dang, you beat me to it. -Sam

Halfpipe at Elitch Gardens in 2004. (RCDB counts it as a coaster) Before that, it was Zonga at SFDK in 2003 but that is my home park so I guess it doesn't count. -Sam

Those slides look like so much fun. For what they have, it looks like a pretty fun little water park there at GL. -Sam

Revolution needs a complete paint job. The white is fine, but they only gave some of it new paint during Tatsu's construction. I say "finish the job!" -Sam

Haha this update is hilarious. I can't wait to see more. Yeti ball will be pretty pissed at Robb about that "Lou's Boob" picture. -Sam

I like that last picture!

^ Many people I know classify it as hip-hop. ^^ All I ever hear is "hyphy" and "gangsta" rap since I live in the Bay Area (NorCal) -Sam

Is Vertigo built on the former site of Tornado? -Sam

Pretty much all rap/hip-hop (with the exception of Linkin Park) -Sam

The fire department in my town has become really uptight and anal about illegal fireworks this year. As the pyromaniac I am, that just pisses me off. Here is a picture of Tom Porcell & Kevin Sieja of Funabashi (German trance group) with one of the biggest fireworks I have ever seen. -Sam

My mom told me that one time when I was about KT's age, we flew into Denver, CO, but because of snowstorms, the plane had to be diverted to Colorado Springs which is not an airport designed for big jets like 747's. Apparently, the plane was on the ground for 7 hours with the passengers still inside. By the end, many had lost their sanity and were threatening to break into the liquor storage. When tcrew members threatened to call police and have them arrested, they responded "Hey at least we'll get off this f***in plane." My worst experience which I can remember was in June 2004 when our plane sat for 2.5 hours on the runway at the San Francisco airport due to thunderstorms in our destination of Chicago. -Sam

^ I rode the original version of V2 back in 2001. I like the new version better because it's not as disorienting. Although the short lived holding break on the back spike was pretty cool I think they stopped using that after several months of operation. ^^ I was at Voodoo around 2:30

Well this is my second PTR (first on TPR) so here it goes. We left at 9:30 to pick up several friends before driving half an hour down to Vallejo. We got to the park shortly before it opened. The park was almost empty so all the rides were walk ons except for Medusa when we waited for the front and it broke down. Now onto the pictures. Coasters: Medusa - 4x Kong - 2x Boomerang - 1x V2 - 5x Roar - 4x Medusaaaaaa Loop Roar & V2 - great rides! Project 2008 - replacement for Zonga? Walkway to the entrance A good sized family coaster would go nice in all this open space. First shot of the new SFDK theming. Now for the entrance with the new stuff. What's this? an open gate? RCPro thing The new entrance for Kong. Much better than the old crappy entrance on top of the hill. And I have no idea who and why that kid is looking at me. Kong through the fence in its new queue. Station for the Headbanger 9000...uh, I mean Kong. Sign of quality manufacturing. : One of these add mister thingys. I like this shot and I didn't have to wait to get it. Just passing by on my way to V2. The newly colored V2. I thought it looked nice. The sign needs updated colors. Intamin goodness! The GCI Roar. I lost my sunglasses on this at the end of the day because I was being careless Roar closed at first. Watch out Jahan! New Thomas the Tank Engine land. We didn't bother with this. SHARK! at the shark experience. Lake Chabot This is the first time I have seen Hammerhead open in a long time. The tunnel at the beginning of the rapids ride. IMO much better ride than Roaring Rapids at SFMM. Scrambler and my brother the loner. Inside joke Boomerang - Clone of Coaster Duck swimming in the filth under the Arc. Tazmanian Devil. Arguably the best flat in the park for many reasons. I also got a great seat next to a hot girl! This is what $12.48 will get you from Papa Johns. Back to the rapids. My brother got the waterfall seat. Chris & Nate are drenched at the water canons next to the waterfall on the rapids ride. The best part was when this guy (about 20) stood up to avoid the waterfall and then a little 4 year old at the watter cannon shot nailed him right in the chest with the water cannon! A walrus can hold a bowling ball in its mouth, but Chuck Norris can hold a Walrus in his mouth. I know, lame attempt at a CN joke. Project ________ 2008 is coming along nicely. Crappy go karts. My car died on me on around the 5th lap. Another open gate! Meh picture of me on Kart 16. Voodoo. This disappointed me. WTF is that expression on my face??? We then went to Tava's Jungleland and completely drenched ourselves in the fountains. Nate and I were dripping wet all the way across the park to Medusa. Front of the line Did I mention that one of the restraints broke in the "Big Boy" seat row right as we were in front of the line for the front? That is the end of the photo section as it proved to be too much of a hassle to deal with all of our loose articles (cell phones, sun glasses, etc) so that is the last picture of the day. We went on to ride Roar, V2, and Medusa again with multiple walk ons each time. Then at the end of the day we went to the candy shop. Overall the best day of my summer vacation so far. Thanks for reading! -Sam

Haha. Last year at Waterworld USA in Sacramento, me, my brother, and a friend were going down the biggest tube slide on a triple tube and we purposely flipped over. Well they chickened out so I just jumped off the front and when we came to the bottom, the ride of was all "Stay on your tube!" But we just laughed and walked off because this was back when we thought the park would be demolished after the season since Six Flags had sold it. But as luck would have it, it's still there as Raging waters.

What is that stuff all over the car?

Northern California, about 30 minutes from SFDK.

I completely agree. Elissa, I hate to degrade Intamin coasters, but is it just me or have the first three Intamin Hypers turn into complete crap. Not just those three. Xcelerator at KBF needs a paint job even more and that is newer than the three hypers. Good photo TR. I hope to go there sometime and it sucks that the staff can be so bad at such a nice looking park.

This park reminds me of a small park in Reno I used to visit on occasion. And I agree with Lou about needing more Nicole pictures.

Impressive! I like how you have included Corkscrew and the surroundings in the park instead of having it be just a stand alone ride.
