Coaster Curt

I just can't believe how much stuff they are packing into such a small footprint...........won't take too many people and I think it will feel pretty crowded.

Safety first plain and simple, for him to sue over a park looking out for his own well being is beyond me.

I was never a fan of Chang as a name, it tells me nothing about the ride or even what kind of ride it is, not sure changing it to a super hero name was any better. Also I have never liked any of the super hero names, just such a lame way to name things.

Wooden: Renegade's first drop, love the turning fall. Steel: Have to go with Maverick and Millennium Force for best drops. I need to get on more coasters.

I typically laugh the entire time, have such fun.

Done, awesome giving to fellow riders

Awesome Pictures.

This was a really fun thread to read through.

Corkscrew at Valleyfair.

I have ridden Excalibur many times at VF, being hidden in the back of the park people tend to not walk back and ride it. You can get a single ride almost anytime during the week.

Last year on Raptor, 2 operators were trying to get a guy latched in..........didn't work and off he walked.

^ I knew it went up once, had no idea it went up again after that. So when I am in the park on May 16th and 17th should I say hi when you are working Gemini

Thanks! This was a ton of help. Yeah, last year we did 2 days and the rest of em fizzled out by noon on Day 2, and are quite impatient. 30 mins is their acceptable limite and 45 tops So I suggested one day, but with fast passes if worth it, and souns like it certainly is. Especially since the big ones were always swamped...we ended up riding the mine ride, slow car drives, and Blue Streak endlessly! Actually last year a group of 4 was $35.00, because that is what we paid. Group of 3 and it was $40.00, buying 2 Fast Lane and it was $45.00, and a single Fast Lane was $50.00. I do believe that half way through the year they raised the minimum to $40.00 as a group of 4 or more, but really 40 bucks to ride is fantastic. We got on Raptor last year and rode it twice in 15 minutes on a Friday while the posted wait time was 1.5 hours........Fast Lane was so so worth it. Going again this year and will be getting Fast Lane again, I am not driving 11 hours to wait in line.

Um what?? I would think that punctuation and real sentence structure wouldn't be too hard right.......right?? how col is that??? i wished i could go i have not been in years i do mean years. when the blue streak was big.... Well apparently sentence structure and anything resembling sentence structure has gone by the way side. Yeah so cnt wait going to be going dis summer!!!!!! so exited its been a couple years since i been der

How many people are in your group or are you going alone? I am planning a trip for the 16th and 17th and am looking for a 4th in our group. Last we stayed at the Lighthouse Point and it was great, for the four of us it came to be something like 200 bucks a person for the stay and park passes. Also within easy walking distance for the water park gate.

^ Good point.

Wow that really does take the cake for a bad view.

Going to have to go with Gatekeeper on this one.

At least with Excalibur once you get to the top there is nice woods to look at, true looking left you have the nice highway/train tracks/industrial park.

After reading and seeing the pictures form the Best Lift Hill Views I am curious what are some of the worst?? My vote has to be Wild Thing looking to the right while heading up the lift hill. Pictures would be great and sorry if this type of thread was started elsewhere.

Has to be Wild Thing, riding up the lift hill you can take a look to the right and watch the cars on the highway, or a bit farther the railroad tracks, or a bit farther a nice industrial park.....oh wait this is nice views Millennium has to be my top view.

Valleyfair opening day, May 11th.

Raptor or Mantis, pretty sure it was Raptor.

First one I see is Wild Thing, but closest overall is Excalibur.

I am complaining about the gaps, either because they are there or because they might not be there........you choose
