  1. I rode it ( 30 ) times on 08/15/2014. Um.....holy crap. The first ride is always the best. Your legs are fresh and so is your whole body so enjoy the first ride. Now, I've taken that in to consideration as to why I think the ride actually gets faster the more times you ride it. I think the real answer is that the hotter the track gets the faster it gets. Also, weight plays a huge part in the ride experience. Not only the weight, but also the distribution of that weight as often the ( 12 ) man capacity coaster does not always run full. There were times that I thought the train was jumping off the course! It snaps on the turns and thrusts you back and forth in your seat. It's just so #*$*#*@ awesome! Every seat on the ride was awesome and the lines were short. Such a great ride that I hope with some more promotion will lead to more people becoming aware of this great coaster in Wisconsin.
  2. I have inside information that for 2015 SFSTL will add Ninja2. A mirror image of Ninja.
  3. So sad about the queues at SFSTL. We went on a weekday this Summer and the lines were short, but the queues made you feel like you were waiting in two hour lines at SFGA! SFSTL has so much potential with a solid variety of at the very least good rides. Ninja sucketh, but because it's in the front of the park and actually gets decent amount of riders it's not going anywhere.
  4. It would be scary going into the double helix. Imagine 80+ mph. They say they all turned white the first evening they rode it and vowed to immediately add trims the next morning. Money cannot buy that experience they had. Luckies.
  5. I went on American Eagle a few weeks ago several times. I found it to be the smoothest it's ever been. Granted, I probably only get on it every five years or so. The ride to me felt just like Viper.
  6. I rode Hellcat at TimberFalls Adventure Park this year in the rain. I am a novice coaster enthusiast so I was amazed the operator said we could get on. It was the best ride I have ever had on any coaster. It made Hellcat feel smoother and faster. It is something I have been chasing ever since.
  7. Bay Beach Amusement Park Review: I went on 08/07/2014 and 08/08/2014. Unfortuatenly due to short funds and it being a ( 3 ) hour drive we did not participate in their Hunka Hunka Burning Lights from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. to celebrate Elvis' last ride on the Zippin Pippin back on 08/08/1977. This is what I posted on my Facebook page about the place: I would like to share with parents my experience at Bay Beach Amusement Park located in Green Bay, Wiscosnin. You can find a hotel in Green Bay for around $65 with taxes. You can check out their website at http://greenbaywi.gov/baybeach/ The park is owned by the City of Green Bay. Thus, it has the most value I have ever experienced at any theme park. The rides are immaculately maintained. Everything in the park looks like it was just bought! It costs nothing to enter the park. Parking is free! The food is beyond reasonably priced. A double cheeseburger cost $2.50. A large fountain soda costs $1.25. They use carinival tickets. They sell for 25 cents each. They have a lot of rides that are appropriate for young kids up to teenagers. Each ride costs between 25 cents up to one dollar if you want to ride their wooden roller coaster Zippin Pippin. Here is a first person view of the Zippin Pippin. ADMIN EDIT: PLEASE DO NOT LINK TO VIDEOS ON COASTERFARCE AS THEY DO NOT GET PERMISSION FROM THE PARKS FOR MOST OF THEIR VIDEOS. I plan on going again next year 08/08/2015 to enjoy their Hunka Hunka Burning Lights event. That's on a Saturday. Hopefully TPR can get a group of people to enjoy this ride next year. I'm sure I'm going!
  8. Indiana Beach Trip Report: My cousin and I went to Indiana Beach on Thursday July 3rd, 2014 and Friday July 4th, 2014. We rented a motel in Lafayette, which is about 10 miles from Indiana Beach for both nights. It only cost $120.94 for both nights. We didn't go on July 3rd as we got their late. The next day we got up early to enter Indiana Beach at opening time. Arriving to Indiana Beach was an awesome experience. I felt as if I was taken back several decades. Many people have described the surrounding living accomidations to be trailer trash like, but I found it to be very interesting and nostaligic. Being that this was our first time there the parking situation was confusing. I don't remember seeing any signs saying free parking. We decided to park by the free parking lot closest to the front gate (not the one by the bridge). I thought it was awesome to see the Indiana Beach workers getting out of their cars and walking up to the main entrance. We followed them. The ticket sale area is understaffed. There was a nice elderly lady working there, but she seemed overwhelmed. It took us about 15 minutes to pay for our tickets. Later in the day we saw long lines by the suspended bridge entrance point. I feel that is something they really need to work on. My home park Six Flags Great America has about the same lines, but theirs go by significantly faster and they have significantly more traffic in their park. Getting a braclet put on us added to the whole local carinval feel that I experienced by the traveling carnivals that came through my area as a kid. So we enter the park and the first thing we saw was The Hawg. It's position in the park isn't ideal in my opinion. It would be nice if they were to put up some shade for those waiting in line. The ride was awesome and a very unique expeirence. I think we rode this about four times. Before we got any rides we walked around the entire park. It has tons of rides for little kids. It has an arcade room. A boat that gives you a tour of the surrounding area. Just tons of carnival rides. Their ski-line takes you from one end of the park to the other. I'm afraid of stationary heights, so when the ski line stopped for a few minutes a feeling of sheer terror almost overcame my cousin and I. Weird as being up 200 feet on a coaster doesn't really phase us. We rode Cornball Express ( 7 ) times and Hurricane Hoosier ( 5 ) times. After I rode the Cornball Express I told my cousin, "That was awesome, but I think Hellcat (at TimberFalls Adventure Park) is better". Cornball Express was a great ride, but I don't understand how it was ever ranked the # 1 wooden roller coaster by this site in 2002. Maybe the ride experience was different or newer back then. The first two times I rode the Hurricane Hoosier it was rough. I was on the right side both times. It wasn't until I rode on the left side that the entire riding experience changed. It was then that I thought to myself Hurricane Hoosier is at the very least as good of a coaster as Cornball Express if not better. One would expect since it was the 4th of July the park would be packed. It wasn't when it opened. Slowly people began to come in the park. By night there were thousands of people in the park standing on the boardwalk enjoying the fireworks. Even when all these people came in the lines for the Cornball Express and Hurricane Hoosier were nearly non-existent. The longest we had to wait was ( 3 ) rides to get on either coaster. Most of the time it was just get off and wait ( 1 ) time to get back on. Riding Hurrican Hoosier at night with thousands of people below us with fireworks going off was an awesome experience I will never forget. I am a huge wooden roller coaster fan and both of their wooden roller coasters are great. I have never seen such a beautiful set up with wooden roller coasters that go through each other and are on a beach like this before. I hear Hurricane Hoosier is down. I would like to go again, but if this ride is down for the rest of the year I will probably wait until next year. Overall I think the value you receive at Indiana Beach is excellent. I would highly recommend others go to check out this park.
