Poor SFoG...I've heard the "insert year here" is the year for the hyper for at least the last 4 years. Even from so called "park insiders/ACE Reps". If it's a B&M Hyper, I really don't care where they put it. If it's a custom Intamin Hyper, I agree with Brian's suggestion of putting it in that rapids area leading towards Deja Crap. If they did it nicely they could even keep a lot of the trees and foliage and make it nice...although then the GP wouldn't be able to see it and ala BGW they'd have to take it out!

Don't worry, we would email you if there was any problem. We won't just disqualify you!
Elissa "we're nice, honestly!" Alvey

Thanks!
Poor Buzzsaw...I really liked it!
Elissa "I guess this will be better!" Alvey

It's been gone now for probably over 5-6 years. It was actually a really nice park! When it opened it had one coaster, Lightning Bolt, an indoor Intamin Kiddie. Sometime later that was moved outside, and Arrow added to it creating a longer more screwed up but still uninspiring ride! They also had a Dark ride, Boat ride, Log Flume, Rapids, Bumper Cars, Pirate Stunt Show, etc.
Oh and the 250' Skycoaster...that survived a bit longer but still met it's demise eventually.
It's really a bummer that it died, but you couldn't see it, it was rather expensive and they didn't really advertise it too much.
Elissa "has both credits!" Alvey

Awesome!
To all of you who've ridden it...can we get a TR or some pix? I know a lot of us here are still wondering just what it does and how it is!
Elissa "leaving in a few weeks" Alvey

^^LOL! I had totally forgotten about that picture!!! It's so awesome! I guess it still says a lot that with all those rides closed they actually still probably had about 15 open! Which is still more than some SF parks!

^She really annoys me though! She always has this "I'm too good for all of you asshats" look on her face. I really wish you could like "negative" vote for people!
Elissa "I want to strangle her!" Alvey

I love the little message board on the bottom and one of the posts says: "His girlfriend must be really happy!". Am I the only one that after watching that thought "there is no way in hell this guy HAS a girlfriend!!!
Elissa "he has way too much time on his hands" Alvey

Yeah, I really don't quite get the whole "rocket rods" seating crap!
Elissa "they kind of look like giant penises!" Alvey

Where did you find that picture!?!? I can't even remember when that was taken? Was it one of the Superbowl days? Or one of the Video Shoots?
Elissa "crazy!" Alvey
-
LOL!
We'll have some people who are not on the trip monitoring the boards, plus we're staying in places that do have internet access so we can upload mini trip reports and photos while we're over there!
Elissa "keep the havoc to a minimum!" Alvey

We can only hope...
Elissa "was mad that Hercules' trains didn't go to Villain!" Alvey

I didn't see any mention of Hypersonic...was it open? How many trains? Wait Times?
Elissa "hasn't been on it with the new trains!" Alvey

PKD really seems to have some sort of issue with their woodies. They really seem to have their maintenance kind of whacked. We always noticed that they actually seem to run better early in the season, then it's as if they do no work on them throughout the summer because by season's end they're running awful!
Elissa "just my observations" Alvey

I really don't know anything about it, but I know that Derek is planning to go as well, maybe he can post some info here!

That's the crazy thing! It was one of the better coasters of the whole trip! Very smooth, very fun, airtime, forces...and it used the what looked like clones of the old Windjammer trains!
Elissa "that whole park surprised us!" Alvey

We just bought a bunch of those '3 to 2' plug converters. The voltage and everything else is the same. We charged cameras, computers, all kinds of stuff like that and it was just fine. I didn't have any hair stuff so I don't know if that's any different since it's a stronger appliance!
Elissa "I think Dan had a plug in shaver that worked too" Alvey

There were a bunch of helixes, I don't remember offhand without looking at the footage but it wasn't boring due to them.
Elissa "crazy togo rides" Alvey
-
I'll vouch for you!
Elissa "those south carolina prisons are scary!" Alvey
-
If it's as dead as it should be...it won't be a problem. Most of the coasters do not need rerides!
Just be careful of traffic though. Even though it's only a theoretical 4 hour drive it might take longer due to annoying construction on I-75.

SFOT...so now you're driving all the way to Texas?
