Sadly, I cannot make it to West Coast Bash. I really wish I could though, but it's a week too early. I might head out to California on March 27th to April 3rd or 4th. I just wanna know what are the crowds like at SFMM during this time? If the schools are out, or if people are off work, does it get incredibly packed? Thanks.....! I haven't been to SFMM since 2002, so I hope to come back. Oh! And do they runs both sides of Colossus? -Jeremie

Thanks everyone for the replies! I really am thankful! And thanks Robb for including this thread in the recent email! Much Appreciated! ------------------------------------------------------------------ On September 6th, 2009, I headed to Michigan's Adventure. It was Labor Day weekend, so I just wanted a visit before the park closed for the year. Shall we head onto the photos? 'Till next time Michigan's Adventure! Thanks for reading and looking everyone! To end this report. Here is my favorite shot I took this day. Enjoy! If you guess a car mirror, then you got it right! Look at Mad Mouse backwards! Anyone know how I did it? Mad Mouse was very nice, and smooth! Banked turns were much appreciated! The parks other kiddie roller coaster is Big Dipper. I enjoyed it more than Zach's Zoomer. This ride also offers some airtime! The park did a nice job keeping the rides from braking down! Only once did I catch 1 ride that has stopped, which is pictured above! Go Michigan's Adventure! Zach's Zoomer is the park's Kiddie Wooden roller coaster. Rode the front, and it was pretty gentle but everyone had fun! Michigan's Adventure doesn't really have thrill rides. All I can think of is their boat rocker and this. Falling Star was pretty fun, gave some nice breezes and views. My thoughts on Shivering Timbers? I rode both front and back. All I can say is that it is fairly smooth, lots of airtime, and has a great layout! Very impressed! The ride is massive! It just goes on forever in one direction, then returns back! It's 2 minutes of airtime! My attempt to take a picture of Wolverine Wildcat. It seems sort of like the Coney Island Cyclone, but with its own twist! Thunderhawk spices up the midway a lot. Very spicy indeed! Some foot choppers! I rode it again in the back, and it is ice smooth in any seat! I recommend it mainly because it isn't your average SLC! I sat in the front. Might I say this is one of the best inverted coasters I been on? Behind Dueling Dragons and Great Bear! I tilted the camera to try to fit as much of the lift as possible. Support work is very nice! The colors of the ride will still fresh. The ground was also very clean. Either really dark brown or nice green grass. I was impressed with how neat and in order everything looked. Read the picture... These are like twin water slides, but located in the theme park side. You don't get wet, but I recommend riding them. I waited around half an hour for this ride. The park wasn't busy, just this ride only runs one cart. No fond of this way of operating the ride. One thing did get annoying. Michigan's Adventure placed the 2 largest roller coasters on the opposite sides of the park. Didn't bug me enough though, I still loved this place! Wolverine Wildcat has got to be *hands down* the best Dinn roller coaster out there. It was smooth, produced lots of airtime, and overall was a great ride experience! The park layout isn't all that bad, I kind of like it all being around the lake. You just have to walk a lot to get from one point of the park to the other! I hope this shows how chaotic the supports, layout, and walkways are on the ride. The Ferris Wheel was nicely placed in the middle of the midway. So you could see anything when you were on top of it. Pretty colors aswell! Corkscrew was a pretty vibrant colors coaster, but we'll discuss this ride later! The entrance. I noticed they don't have the security detectors stuff when you entered. I never knew this Mad Mouse was built by Arrow until a couple days prior, so I was very excited to ride a banked mouse coaster! Airtime to the 3rd power! You are greeted by the one, and only, Shivering Timbers! -

Might I say your BTR pictures are spicy? And who is that hottie in the no-no zone? Can't wait for the next collection of photos! You doing a great job! -
I seem like I have been having too much fun with the little action figure I was playing with.... Great report! The toboggans were seriously more thrilling than most coasters I have ridden!They are also probably 10 times less safe?

Nice report! I really loved your Scorpion shots, you never can have too much Schwarzkopf in one trip report. Nicely done, some great shots of Sheikra too Were both sides of Gwazi open?

How did you end up here???

I found this site in Fall 2007. I was looking up stuff for Deja 'Vu's removal from SFGAm, and this site appeared on Google. I joined a couple months later because I found out this site was more than just Deja Vu! -Jeremie -
Just say your from TPR, I'll add you. Unless I already know you! http://www.facebook.com/jeremie.kowalik?ref=profile (I hope that is the right link) -Jeremie

I personally prefer Firehawk over Superman: Ultimate Flight. B&M Flyers in my opinion gain speed really slow, and the one I rode it ultra boring. Firehawk had some pretty surprising turns and I rate it much higher. If B&M does do the consecutive corkscrews, they will probably be like the ones on Nighthawk @ Carowinds. -

I am sorry but I don't. My camera battery died when I was taking pictures in line for Afrika Expressen. So I just took pictures quickly of the midway before they died. Sorry again. -

There is one other trip report of this park, so I think it is neat being the 2nd! But Ölands Djur & Nöjespark is a Zoo, Water Park, and Theme Park. It is mostly a zoo, with a fairly medium sized water park, and a pretty carnival like theme park. The zoo is mostly birds, reptiles, and apes. Let's end this PTR on a positive note Not that exciting, but the whole park was carnival rides, even though it is a real theme park. Merry-go-around. Then in the back back is a dark ride! It stinks. In English, it means "Africa Express" The new roller coaster... We sat in the back! And took this ;D This is the parks Wacky Worm! The ground is gravel, wasn't too crowded either! This is the new roller coaster for 2009. I came to this park in 2003, and they have a roller coaster called "Jumbo Jet" which was a schwarzkopf. But I guess they took it down for this... It stopped raining and everything was testing. This one called shotgun! Note: All the goats when on the side of the house where the roof covers it. They are smarter then we may think! It started hailing a lot. It cleared up fast! It started raining...and we didn't reach the theme park yet. I love this picture! I think the lemur liked it too Am I the only one in here that watched Zaboomafoo? Hmmm, 2 cubs and the mama lion pictured above! I'm not going near that... I think it is sleeping, or its neck is really sore! Llama! Starburst Enjoyment Pose # 67 Is it romantic in the monkey world to eat what you have in your hair? He posed for me! This is a monkey model! Someone's fed up with the paparazzi! Baby! This is my new master! Parrot... Hmmm, not sure what this is. But I took a picture of it anyways! Can anyone see both birds? They blend in very well! Are they huddling together to stay warm? For such a little zoo, I was surprised they had this! Huddle together to stay warm! If anyone knows what this is, they get a cooking by someone else buy me! Flamingos are pink by the pink shrimp they eat... These little critters couldn't stop climbing on stuff! Turtle suspended in water. Did someone lose all his/her friends? One of these bunnies has a stalker. Note: The Guinea Pig sleeping in the basket! Awww, look at their little bodies hop around! Isn't is a cute bunny! It's a puff ball with a face. I find the length of snakes fascinating! The snakes weren't moving. They were either sleeping or dead... Someone needs to stop eating... The largest frog, toad I have ever seen! Had my friend stick her finger in the picture to show off how giant it is! I think if I kiss it... Keep in mind lots of these monkeys can't stop moving, so they might appear blurry. And I am also taking pictures through glass. But isn't this monkey awesome?! He just found out could have saved 15% on his car insurance by switching to Geico Ölands Djur & Nöjespark The carts were cute! This is the one we sat in, but they had a lion and a tiger carts too! *forgot to add this photo* -
