  1. May 14th, 1994.

     

    I have pictures from the newly named Six Flags Over Lake Erie. All I can say is WOW! The park was really improved over the past season. New rides, new scenery, basically a new park! I must commend Six Flags on a job well done.

    The grand entrance. Lightning Bolt towers over the guests.

    SCR2.BMP

    The disappointing back-country. The gimmick was an untamed and rugged section of the park. A couple benches and less pavement would've been nice though. The best part was saving the classic rides for younger generations.

    SCR3.BMP

    More scenery on the main midway. It looks really nice. I could expect new rides coming here in the future...

    SCR4.BMP

    Shipwreck Falls finally got a much needed service catwalk for mechanics to get to the exit. It also has the best queue in the park. Complete with waterfalls!

    SCR5.BMP

    Random flats. Some scenery.

    SCR6.BMP

    The all-new Roadrunner's Desert race. The queue coverings look kind of awkward, but at least it has them!

    SCR7.BMP

    The also new Gotham city. Complete with Batman: The Ride, a B&M flyer...

    SCR8.BMP

    Gotham Cargo, an Intamin Looping Starship...

    SCR9.BMP

    and Sno-Cone, a Chance Snow Cups themed to Mr. Freeze. It even has its own popsicle stand, Mr. Freeze's Chillers.

  2. I'll cut the talking and go straight to the pictures. If you want it read it though, there's a small written TR on this page: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54210&start=4770

     

    Obligatory sideways picture that veered off to the side!

     

    The reason I came.

     

    Intimidator! It was great and definitely in my top 3. I just hated when people said "I've been Intimidated" while coming off the ride.

     

    I have a love/hate relationship with Huss. I love their rides because they're intense, but I hate them because they hurt my nuts.

     

    Anaconda beat me up a bit, but it also gave me a SOLO RIDE!

     

    NOTED!

     

    I love you giant Coke bottle. Let me give you a lick...

     

    An acceptable amount of wetness. It's approved by Dan! (FYI- That's my name)

     

    Mmm... nice curves baby!

     

    Coincidentally, the cobra is one of my favorite type of snakes. I also like vipers and pythons.

     

    BIG loop with original paint THROUGH THE TREES!

     

    Sideways again! It was hot out and I was really tired. I got about 4 hours of sleep.

     

    These are what elevators look like. Don't worry, the cable will snap! It's an Intamin!

     

    I finally got my last credit from Geauga Lake. It's probably the best one there too.

     

    Obligatory photo #2.

     

    I'm just going to say it: I didn't think Hurler was that bad. That's my honest opinion.

     

    I did it for the credit. It was the worst roller coaster I've ever ridden. It did have an intense loop and standing airtime though.

     

    Sadly, there was no airtime here. But I did regain vision on that hill.

     

    There was some floater airtime here.

     

    Intense twisties!

     

    Me on the Flyers. It was intense, but it didn't snap.

     

    That's it! Thanks for reading.

  3. Volcano and both Drop Tower were closed.

     

    Yeah, that was a big bummer. I was anticipating those two so much. It's kind of weird that three people went on the same day though.

     

    Onto my experience. I started off with I305 and the first thing I thought was #1. It was great and more intense than MF even WITH trims. I also got a solo front seat ride on Anaconda. It was so weird being the only ones on the ride. I then went to Volcano, got in line, and neared the front only to hear it CLOSE DOWN. :C

     

    All in all though, I had a great day. Rebel Yell was disappointingly bumpy in the back seat, and I don't wanna talk about Shockwave, but otherwise it was great and I look forward to revisiting.

     

    It's kind of weird three people went on the same random day though...

  4. I love cliff jumping! I just went with my friends to Nelson's Ledges (near GL's Wildwater Kingdom) the other day. Did my first dive! I'm going again this summer; I'll get pictures.

     

    About Nelson's though; it used to be a quarry. Now they filled it with water from a spring and it's a HUGE lake. There are some really cool caves next to it too. I HIGHLY reccomend going if you're in the area.

  5. At Cedar Point, 9 out of 10 times this happens because of groups wanting to ride on the same train. The "waiting" group will usually ask another group to cut them though.

     

    I have heard some ride ops saying, "Hey there are (x) seats open if you want to ride right now." They should really enforce this better, because I and many others have taken advantage of this.

  6. Ok, so I may be going on a trip to Wilmington, NC sometime next week and I need some info:

     

    1. Will it be packed, say, on July 14th? How are the lines this time of year.

    2. I'm from Cleveland, so will it be worth an extra three hours in addition to the 10 hour drive? Especially in the case of my mom?

    3. I know it's near Charlotte, so how could I plan a day with Carowinds and sightseeing?

  7. ^ And, starting now, pine trees too.

     

    I've changed some of the positions of the rides from last time, and added some theming (including a Wild West area). In the "off season", the park will be getting a huge overhaul as it transforms to Six Flags Over Lake Erie. Rides will be put in, buildings will be put up, and some rides may be branded. Onto pictures!

     

    July 4th, 1993.

     

    Happy Independence Day from Toledo Adventure! Our crews have been working their fingers to the bone to get the new rides in for the 4th. The results are pretty spectacular, even if we do say so ourselves. Here are some pictures of the festivities:

     

    SCR14.BMP

    The "classic" part of the park. Some rides have gone into storage.

     

    SCR15.BMP

    Bumpers and Shipwreck Falls have opened without a hitch, but the real surprise is...

     

    SCR16.BMP

    The Wild West town! Here's Pony Express and The Dust Bowl, a Huss Top Spin.

     

    SCR17.BMP

    The Showdown is a classic western show involving Sheriffs and Outlaws.

    SCR18.BMP

    We part you with this shot of Hangman's Escape.
