Scorpion's Tail - looping water slide
Midgetman82 replied to RedSpecial's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^^I haven't seen a picture of that thing, holy cow that looks really cool! ^^Probably to reel in people, I don't think there would be an advertisement saying "(insert State's name here)'s first INCLINED HELIX"! Though, they could show people the reality of the slide and actually say that. I have ridden Scorpion's Tail and yes, the intense part is the trap door room/phone booth! What I especially like about the slide is how theres only a sprinkle of water doing down the first drop to make you go super fast, then theres a flood of water to slow you down. -

^^We did every ride except the air grover place. It was %100 worth the price. There was one person who wasn't into the big coasters and always said no to riding the big rides, except Journey to Atlantis and cheetah chase. -

Wow, I've never seen something like this before! -
For me, it's Gwazi's. The little coaster part and tunnel before the coaster is kinda fun to me.

Photo TR: Kentucky State Fair 2010
Midgetman82 replied to Midgetman82's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^During daytime yes, but it looks much nicer at night. Unfortunately I didn't get to stay till night or even dawn, but I did last year and it was pretty nice with their lights turned on. Also they always had two Himalayas and Tilt-a-Whirls, I'm surprised we even got a wild mouse coaster! -
List the parks you have visited in 2010

Small list, but: Six Flags Over Georgia x2 Busch Gardens Africa x7 Sea World x2 I don't think they would for that. -
Photo TR: Kentucky State Fair 2010

Today's the last day, go now unless you don't want huge last minute crowds. -
I visited the Kentucky State fair with my family. We went during the day where there was less people and is a great time for taking photos. Unfortunately my family (yet again) gets tired and hot very easy so I don't have a huge amount of photos of the rides, just enough to show you some of the new attractions they put in since last year. If you are wondering about the Doughnut burger, it is a regular burger but it uses Krispy Kreme doughnuts instead of bread buns (commence mouth water, chimes of angels, and then the though if is a disgusting combination and if there was an ambulance standing near by... no there wasn't). I ordered one with cheese and bacon and I have to tell you that it was great! But I will say that I ate it slow because it was a little hard to handle since it has two very soft doughnuts as buns. Power Surge Video. You'll see me coming off the ride at the end. The newRe-Mix ride. The new High Energy ride. The Wild Mouse Coaster. To show you how expensive it was, there was three of us in the car for adult price. Cars were lined up by many workers. This large building housed a small portion of the fair. Temporary map. There was many things being sold in here. All things were very unique. There was even advertising some of the products, too bad the Shamwow guy wasn't here. There was also gambling. Something told me I was gonna be here a while. Will we win?... nope! After turning in your paper, they give you a ticket for a free spin on this wheel. Then they give you a paper for 2 free $2 scratch offs, which we lost both. LMPD always have a section here every year. I've never seen this before. There was even a TARC (city bus) bus! There was a free boating simulator, but it was boring. This slightly creeped me out. From alcohol to model airplanes. Quilts. Making our way out the door. Outside A little bit of history. A little bit of blues music. And the main thing for today! Credit, didn't ride it. Tiny ferris wheel! Also tiny Scrambler! Tornado One of the two Fun Houses, they even had two very cheap haunted rides. Feuerball, there was another kind like this but it wasn't as insane as this one. Tilt-a-Whirl, there was two of these. Himalaya, again two of these. Octopus Inverter. The Cliffhanger The Hurricane. It was new for this year. This was also new. It was my first time on one of these. The kid next to me kept crying "stop this ride!" Make Bozo Splash, different guy than last year. 1001 Nachts Power Surge. By the way, those pink signs with numbers on them are how many tickets are needed to ride. Yo-Yo Re-Mix, also new and looks crazy. Starship Area 51 Zero Gravity Spin-Out Ring of Fire, new. High Energy, new and wasn't as good as Feuerball. Put together by. This looked like fun! Dad's attempt to capture a photo of me on Feuerball. I'm on the right in yellow shirt. Wee! Other Ferris Wheel Shrek looking fun house. Mirror Maze. Pool tables! Tired of the heat, we go inside. Tractors Smaller Tractor Beef Cows There was one cow that was pooping... and pooping... and pooping... it was gross. Back outside Say hi to Freddy! He's been here sitting 15 feet tall for every Kentucky State Fair ever since it started. If you were to listen carefully, you can literally hear a voice come from him. Now it's time for the infamous Doughnut Burger. There were other lines that were longer than this, and this whole stand ended up on the news BEFORE the fair! There it is, my only photo of it as I hold my order of this little piece of heaven that didn't make me go to the bathroom! There was a show going on, this kid had three balls spinning on his hands and his head. We go inside again and find a food show! They flip a tractor with a dummy held on by a seatbelt. More stuff to look at. Ahh. This is quite useful. Petting Zoo! Sleepy Donkey! Can't have this update without one! Why so serious? Cock-a-doodle-doo Peacock For some reason, this was funny to everyone! Aww! There were even kittens, but I didn't want your eyes melted by it's adorableness. Dairy Cow. Us leaving, thanks for viewing!

No, they pull it though to check clearances on the track. -
I have made a GIF photo of Robb saying "Twisty" on Intimidator 305 and I was wondering if I could share it?

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

It seems Knotts will have theirs have two Giant K's on top. That's the only theming I know out of them. *sniff*, *sniff*! Hey, do you smell something burnt?! -

Midgetman82 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well if it stands 300 ft', then that's fine by me. I don't know about you, but I think this ride looks quite fun to ride since it goes up high and spins around the tower. Also this ride makes the Cedar Point ride collection even bigger, and it's awesome that they are sharing the same ride with it's other 3 parks. -
Thread on resizing your photos

I went there not too long ago and even got a backstage tour. They actually treat the Dolphins nice and that area they swim in is really cool (and freezing!). It seems they keep things very sanitary whenever they walk in a building backstage because we had to dip our feet in a small bucket of water before entering. We also got to see where they keep more dolphins when they aren't out swimming with people, it's a little more roomy than it seems from the sand. Overall the place is, should I say, better than any water park I've been to except the Atlantis Aquaventure in the Bahamas. I know it's not a water park, I'm saying it's better then a water park in my opinion. I would recommend it to anyone because it has a Resort/Slightly Hawaiian feeling to it; and yes it was my best experience. By the way, if you have pictures to upload, then you can share them in the "Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!" Thread where you can post a Photo TR (Trip Report), unless maybe you have about one, two, or three photos of Discovery Cove then you can probably share it here (Read Guidelines first). I do have a link to my photo TR of Discovery Cove, scroll down once you are in the page.

Cool photos. Looks like it's really hard to find those letters, I'm not so good at word puzzles!

Yeah, those are nice pics. It looks like this ride will have forceful bankings like Intimidator, but without the neck slapping. It already looks extreme! -

The place looks nice, too bad the coaster was closed for that long, it would've made anybody's visit a little more worth it it seems. Ober Gatlinburg seems to still have it's beautiful view, I always liked that place.
