I just wanna see what he'll look like when he's 80!

I'm sorry but I think the invert looks horrible with its current color scheme.

^Yep, that would be the one! And if you do have video, it most be posted!

This past Sunday and Monday I went up to the Dells with Jeremie (Jerrykoala2112) Griffin, (GriffyTiffy), and Jo (Jojo19799). We went to Knuckleheads, Timber Falls and Mount Olympus. I didn't take any pictures at Knuckleheads so if you want to see some, go here. We only stopped in Knuckleheads for the credit. After that we stopped at the Deer Park and ate at Monks before heading to the first park, Timber Falls. Timber Falls is a small park that consists of four mini golf courses, a log flume that wont get you soaked but has great theming, fun but slow bumber boats, the amazing Hellcat coaster (yet all signs still say Avalanche) and the awesome Sky Scraper. Even with the all day pass you only get 5 rides on Hellcat which is to help keep costs down. (Mt. O is killing them and people used to marathon Hellcat resulting in high maintenance costs.) Sky Scraper is $11 with an all day pass and $22 without. But enough about costs, here are my reviews: Hellcat - Still amazing. While it didn't seem as great as last year it's still a top ten for sure. Smooth the whole time in the front, only some slight roughness on the turns in the back. Timber Wolf log flume - Doesn't get you soaked (unless someone splashes water on you...Jeremie ) Doesn't have the best transition onto both drops though. Great theming through out the ride, wish the volcano effects were still on. Mini golf - We only did the course in the park. Kind of confusing layout with only one hole that we completely failed at. Sky Scraper - Completely worth every penny. If you just sit there you wont flip upside down a lot. Now if you want to go upside down a ton, you should do what Griffin did and ride with Zach. Zach is the ride op who knows how to flip the car and make your ride much more insane. To see what he's capable of, watch the video here. Now enough talking, onto the pictures! It's impossible to take pictures of the bumper boats without getting wet. Each car has a sprayer that goes well into the paths. Just amazing. Just because it isn't tall, doesn't mean it cant pack a punch! No more fire Skloosh! Small and oh so insane. I love shots like this. Jo and Jeremie Jo seems confused and unfocused These creepy creatures add more wetness to the bumper boats. Great views from the queue Somethings missing... Better! Heavenly. The flumes smaller first drop As you can see here there are lights on the side that light up the track in different colors. Something horrible is happening in this picture. Time for Sky Scraper! Seatbelt restraints ftw! Weee! For when you're too cheap to buy the DVD Zach on the left, Griffin on the right Now thats hairtime! It also brings this PTR to a close. Mt. Olympus up next!

^ I know that back when my mom was a kid Summerfest had a midway.

Personally I love the lobby idea. The workers wouldn't have to be cramped in the small ticket booths and they would be out of the heat. I think if they had a few shops and food court with it, it could end up being really cool.

I don't want to do a lot of talking now because my next few reports will have lots have it. Long story short, I went to a Italian fest for the free midway. I love this ride. Held together by duct tape. Literally. The ride op (guy in the purple) was actually having a lot of fun. I thought some people on here would like to see this Notice anything? Waukesha Beach has been closed for 61 years now http://rcdb.com/5339.htm Thanks for reading! Timber Falls up next.

I really need to get back to Noah's Ark..but not on a Saturday! If only they could get a new credit too! I wonder what your next PTR will be?

You might wanna check your math a bit. Your taking away three coasters and only adding one new. Therefore deceasing the coaster count.

Viper was named one of Paul Rubens Top 10 favorite coasters. Paul Ruben is an editor of Park World and claims to have ridden about 800 coasters. http://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinations/10great/2010-07-22-roller-coasters_N.htm

So I guess this would be a more modern version of that?

For the fourth of July my family was invited to my dads co-workers house for a party. Normally I would turn this offer down, but after learning about a fair a few blocks away, I couldn't pass up a chance to get a few rides in, and maybe even a credit! The fair was very small, it was really just the rides, a few games, food and one band. The collection wasn't too bad for such a small fair. It had the normal creepy ride ops, (some of which I had seen at fairs before). The highlight was probably the safety spiel for the Zipper. I dont know about you, but I prefer to hear all of it instead of, "Stand up, stay back and blah blah blah" Anyway, onto the pics! My favorite picture I took The first ride of the day, lots of spinning! Swings are always fun First time I've seen this outside of RCT Much more fun with other people! I've always liked the art on tornadoes. Yep. Imma whore. Zipper <3 Fun ride, but the restraints REALLY need padding. I dont care how old you are. Slides are fun! Thanks for reading, Italian fest is next!

The all day lo.ckers in the front are covered.

^^So people like to get their food 20 minutes after it's been made?!

The latest Screamscape rumors. http://www.screamscape.com/html/six_flags_great_america.htm As much as I hate the thought of losing Whizzer, I'm all for a newer version of it when the current one is unable to operate anymore. The Super Splash comes off as "meh" to me. Nothing I'd be too excited about. Im really interested in seeing where this Mack love leads to...

Do you have an approximate time of when this would be starting and ending?

Not too far from BGT is a really nice zoo called Lowry Park. While having the credit and log flume give it an A+ in my book, the zoo itself is amazing. The site said it was rated #1 zoo (by Parents magazine) and I can see why. It had incredible theming and most of the animals were in big open air areas, which I love to see. Most of the zoo was outdoors except for a few small exhibits. As for the rides, the flume was short and doesn't get you very wet but is still nice, and has some good theming. The coaster is just a single helix Wisdom, but still looks very nice, has some good theming and gives you three laps. The other rides were kiddie rides. They also had the normal zoo rides like a sky safari and safari tours. Overall its a really nice zoo,and while it doesn't have the biggest selection of animals, I highly reccomend at as a place to spend an afternoon. The first animals you see are the monkeys. They seemed a bit lazy as first. Looks like he's getting ready to do something.. There he goes! We must've watched him go around the structure for at least 15 minutes. The baby wasn't quite getting the hang of it. The tigers weren't as active. And you thought Cedar Fair has bad names for rides. That looks like it hurts... Stingrays! Gotta love sting rays! Gator Falls log flume. Very nice theming. Not a huge splash, but still feels good in the Florida heat! This was the *third* time on the trip that I had walked up to a carousel to film it...and it stopped. >.< Wallaroo Station houses the rest of the rides Cha-Ching! The lift. The drop And the helix. The very slow helix at that. One last look. Thats all for this report. Redneck fair coming up next!

Who really thought it would be a good idea to put a bobsled right by sand?!

Those animals are having a lot of fun... Also the coloring book pic looks cool if you scroll up and down it down slowly. Thanks for sharing a part of the park not shown very often!

Screamscapes latest rumor is that it will be an Intamin prototype coaster. Screamscape is also saying that Cedar Fair is looking to build more wood coasters now.

Viper....
