Yes Roar is a lot smoother! It's probably the smoothest wooden coaster I have been on now! It makes it sooo much EDIT:MORE FUN Thanks for the coments!

Yesterday, I got home from SFMW, and I had a really fun day after being there the first time in a little over a year. PGA's coasters are very forcefull compared to SFMW's. I like them in a different way when they aren't forcefull. The non forcefull coasters don't give me my "Coaster headache" and can be fun in a different way. Anyway, on with the trip! So we first rode Roar. That ride is so awesome now. It is pretty smooth and still intense. It has some awesome turns and drops. Then since V2 is right next to Roar we rode that. Pretty fun, the launch is different than a lot of launches I have been on, because it accelerates really fast the first half a second, then slowly gets up to speed after that. I really like that type of launch! So then, the lines were all really short (Almost walk-on) so we went over to Kong, an SLC. We saw the line and it was a bit long. But we waited anyway, and it was only running ONE train. The ride-ops were very slow operating it. So, we waited...and waited...and then, it broke after we waited about 10 minutes. Great. So we kept waiting and waiting... and then, it broke again! Gosh!! So we had to wait for the ride ops to stop with their conversations and fix the problems. So we were far up in the line, and everyone wanted to go on it, so I stayed in line with them. To our luck...guess what happened? IT BROKE AGAIN! So we finally got on after maybe 45 minutes. The ride was okay, it was rough it has a good layout IMO. I knew it would be rough, but the people who I was with didn't know the difference between a Vekoma and a B&M. So we did a few stuff, went on a few rides, rode Medusa. Yeah, that coaster is awesome. It isn't very forcefull compared to other coasters I have been on, but it still is pretty fun. We ate lunch at Subway It was pretty good, but no where near as good as a regular subway. They didn't have as much stuff to put on the sandwich and there was no Cold Cut Combo! :'( They dind't put much vegitibles on mine, and not enough salt and pepper, and oil and vinegar. I was with Mari and her brother while everyone else was on Monkey Buiesness! I didn't go on those so I wouldn't ruin my appetite for food. And it was very hot out, so that kind of made me feel a little sick due to dehydration. (I'll tell awfull the no water story later) We were walking to Boomerang and passed by Voodoo. Mari's brother somehow got me to go on it. (Top Spin ride) After being hung upside down and flipped a lot while I has a bit dehydrated, really made me hate I that I was on it! So it stopped and I said "Good thing that's over". Then, the ride op said "who wants to go again!?" All the little kids yelled and what happened? Well, he started the ride AGAIN!!! I was like "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" So we rode some of the coasters again, bumper cars butterfly room, etc... It was a pretty cool day! I haven't said every thing, I'll let the pictures do the rest. And oh yeah, the no water story!!! Well, there was a water machine. I put my $10 bill in for some water. It was the beginning of the day and I had nothing else. So I pressed a water button...all water was sold out. They had mineral water though, so I thought that was just as good. So I got one of those, and it was not water, it was soda in disguise! I thought "Man, I could have got a Coke instead of this!" So I pressed the change button to get my $7 out. Nothing came, so I pressed it again...STUPID MACHINE!!!....So nothing happened. I was so mad!! There was relly nothing I could do about it. I thought it was worth $7 to not deal with SF about it. They will never give you your money, they will sit there and ask you why you are waisting their time. They don't care about anything. I was VERY mad! So anyway, here are the pictures...if you made it all the way through! Entrance time to the park! %5Bhttp%3A//i24.photobucket.com/albums/c35/phazan/SFMW%206-18-06/100_1304.jpg Poor Zonga, all gone! Medusa! Mari's brother said to me (He kind of thinks he knows a lot about everything) "Brandon, that used to be a boat ride, but the took it out" I said "NO, it WASN'T, it was a 4 looped coaster" I was trying not to sound like a jerk! Man, I love the first drop on Roar. Medusa!! Again!! Here is V2. An awesome coaster. We are in the park now! Here is the group. Hey, there palm tree! Hows it going? Check these awesome penguins! Check out these awesome dolphins! James says they are a type of insect...Hmmm...maybe? V square's spike! Roar's line isn't that bad. Here is V to the second power's line. Kong! Time for Medusa!! up, up, up After Medusa is Kong. After it ripped off my $7, nick said he saw them put this sign on when I was on Kong. James says "Why do I have to go on Hammerhead?" he then puts his head down and gets depressed. Weeeeee! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Boomerang time! Here is the evil shark that bites the end of the train. Theming? Yeah, I timed this just right! This ride is a joke! It once was dinosaur themed and now themed as Stargate:THE RIDE!! This theming looks almost a little too high tech for Stargate! The Stargate ultra futuristic space ship!! Okay, enough with that dumb ride! Time for the good rides again!! Roar! So there was this girl that had her camera out and the ride ops didn't say anything about it. I thought "Wow these people are cool!" So I bought out my camera to take a POV, then the lady said "Ummmm, you can't bring that on the ride". So I gave it to her, and asked her to keep it safe for me! Time to see the penguins again!! Hey there! What's up? yeah... Medusa!!!!! Medusa's helix!!! Medusa!!! Ahhh! Snake! Snake!! oh, it's a snake!! Right after I took this, I came across a man peeing in line... what a moron. See for, a nice day weekend in June the day wasn't crowded at all! V2. The Thrilla Gorrila got Sal Menilla! Time for the butterfly room. I got my camera a little too close to the butterfly's so a few of them are blurry. Fancy!! Exotic!! CAVE!!! It's like I'm in the jungle. Yeah. Yep. Oooo. Ahhhh. This "parade" made me laugh so hard!!! LOL!!!! Ahh man, time to leave. They didn't want to stay till 9 to ride coasters in the dark. And I didn't get to get the nice sunset pictures of the coasters. See ya later Medusa. See ya later Zonga...wait..where are you? Time for Mari's house to watch a movie and hang out. They have a HUGE dog!! Big dog!! BIG DOG!! I am glad he is eating his food and not eating me. Well, that's my trip report! Thanks for reading!

^I am happy because Whoa_Killa has the bug avatar!! I am also happy I get a cool new camera/video phone in a few days. (Like DATman!...but not as good...) And I am also happy I had a fun day with my friends at SFMW yesterday!

So none of you get horrible head aches like me when they ride coasters over and over again? I used to be able to ride coaster after coaster when I was young, but now whenever I ride anything (Rough or smooth) I get a really bad head ache and it can really mess up my day. This even happens on log flume rides that have a rough drop. But when I was about 13 I rode Medusa and V2 at SFMW a ton of times. My record is 26 times in a row. I can't belive I was able to do that and not feel any type of head ache. Now when I think about it I really miss it!

Haha, I love Autopia! I love standing in line and hearing someone scream and then seeing a car ram into another car at full speed! It's the best!!

That's pretty cool! Give us tons of updates! BTW, I wish you would put your bug avatar back up!

Ahhh, very nice pictures! Now that I have seen a few pictures from El Toro, I want to ride it and see what it's like. Thanks for posting!

Hey, nice pictures! Looks like you had fun with SFMM to yourself! Why can't that ever happen to me?

Last time I was at PGA the line for Survivor was about 15-20 minutes. That was on a Sunday in April on a cool cloudy day. My advice is to go on the weekday if possible. Weekends are okay, but weekdays are always better to visit themeparks as far as crowds go. Defidently go on TopGun. Vortex is kind of rough for a B&M but it has a cool layout IMO. Demon will always have a short line; everyone says it sucks, but I really like it for the type of coaster it is. I recomend riding it once if you have time. Any thing else?

^It wasn't his arguing that did it, it was the tons of rude comments he has been making ever since he joined.

I left a little over two years ago!!

^What? It already was bumped!

I'm not sure if it is such a good idea to have that picture of you stepping in a place where it says "Do not step". It is probably fine, but the park probably wouldn't be very happy if they saw that. You know what happened to one guy.... And also, they put that there for a reason...

I would love to go to Dollywood someday, it looks pretty cool. Has anyone noticed that in almost every trip report, there is always a picture of a duck?

^Yes, I think so. This is the reason places have stupid rules like the "No loose objects on rides" Because there are people like her that use suing people for extra spending money.

^Cool! Is it kicking like an energy drink? To me, it drinks like a soda, but doesn't kick like an energy drink. : (

Well why do you think people go to Disney Land? As for me, it really does help. It makes the place feel overall better. I mean, who wants to sit in the sun in line on a hot day when you could sit in shade with nice trees and bushes?

^How, did you find that??

^You look like a bug.

Let the RANDOMNESS BEGIN!!!

I had a bean and cheese burrito this morning. It was very good! I eat toast for breakfast when I am running late for school. Oy, I hate rushing in the morning!

^Nope, but your supposed to let HCOsurfer go.

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk! I live an hour away from that place. EDIT: Nevermind, I was too slow to find my picture file!

^Yep! I am glad my trick worked. I caught a cheater!!

^HAHAHA!!! You little cheater, try again!
