  1. I really underestimated Boulder Dash. I heard such terrible things, but it was great!
  2. Oh, that's cool. I have this vibe that there are enthusiests around, and I kept looking. I saw someone with a Coaster Zombie Jacket so I was happy. Why did Boulder Dash close around 7?
  3. People: Me Anthony (the Benny) Kristen (Pebbles) Mom We got to the park at opening, which was 5:00 PM. Anthony ahd to use the bathroom so Pebbles and I went on Down Time. The view was nice. it was dark by the time we were at the top. Than the count down started. It ringed and we were thrusted down with good airtime! It was really fun! We got off and went over to Boulder Dash. We got the fourth car. We leave the station and up the lift we go. Going up the lift was really wierd. It was going up the side of the mountain, so when we got to the top we were on ground level, which was so cool! Then turn and back down the side of the mountain! Wow this thing picked up speed! I didn't know it flew by the station! Going through the woods was awesome! It was non stop airtime! We were getting knocked around but in a fun way. It was fast and longer than I thought. It was better than people told me it would be! We got off and saw the line grew a bit so we didn't ride again, we figured we'd ride it later (bad choice!) We rode the Enteprise which was nice, because I haven't been on an Huss Enteprise since 2003. After Enterprise we all went over to Ghost Hunt, which is a Sally Shooting Dark Ride. It was fun but too hard to shoot and there was a long useless part of thd ride where it was on a blacony, but it went so slow. After Ghost Hunt, Pebbles, Anthony and I went over for our second and last credit of the night, Zoomerang. They thought they can cover it up but it's still a Vekoma Boomerang. New trains so i thought, this wouldn't be too bad. There were somethings that were different about Zoomerang than any other Boomerang I've been on. It's very quiet! The first lift didn't make that loud compressed air sound when it slowed down and no noise when it releases. Go through the normal course and get to the second lift....Where's the Kerchunk noise? Than Pebbles looked up and said, "Oh you can see stars!" and we just thought that was funny. Backwards part...meh, rough. It was a better Boomerang, Kristen thought it was boring. We than did the American Flyers. Wow...they sucked. I snapped it a little but it was so slow! Then the three of us went on over to Thunder and Lightening. This was my second Screamin' Swings. It was really fun suprisingly. I only wish they had both sides open and that it was longer! But it had some good airtime and it was all fun. After that we went over to the Rotor. Oh I miss this ride. It was so much fun, I really wish SFGAv would get it back (and get ride of that crappy rubber thing on the wall). The floor dropped further than I remember. And when it was over we all slid down, but Pebbles was still on the wall for a few seconds . After that we did Zoomerang again becasue it was there, and we had to go to the Haunted Graveyard next. Next up was the Haunted Graveyard. I didn't know what to expect, but I did know the props would be amazing. The line seemed kind of ghetto, but it moved. When we get to the end they tell us it's 45 minutes if we walk, 30 if we run. We all thoguht she was exaggerating, but no it really was 45 minutes! It was insane! It was scary, but not extremely, it was fun scary. And the theming was AMAZING! The pyramid was a shock! The house at the end was really cool. Anyone else notice there was no roof? After the Haunted Graveyard, Mom went beck to the car and now it was jut Pebbles, Anthony and I. We did this Haunted maze which was really bad. We headed over to boulder Dash to find out it was closed for the rest of the night. The train was in the station so I'm wondering why. Then we went over to Down Time. Anthony came on this time. It was fun, I got more airtime this time. After that we went over to Zoomerang. While in line for Zoomerang, there was this guy behind us. He said, "They call it Zoomerang because it zooms!" Than he was talking about SFNE and trying to explain Catapult to me and I tried telling them I knew! Also, this guy asked us if we've ever been on Kingda ka, and my brother bursts out laugh, "HAHAHAHA IT SUCKS!" Anyway, we got the front row. Not too bad. There was an empty seet. it was the last row. BIG MISTAKE! It was so rough. I had a major head ache until I fell asleep in my bed at home! It really hurt. After that we went home. Anthony, Me, and Kristen finally arrived in Connecticut. We are finally here! First ride of the day! Pebbles and I on Down Time I just love the theming First missed credit of the night! First credit of the night! Anthony in Boulder Dash's station! A train full of happy riders on Boulder Dash. Us on the Enterprise! Night shot! In line for Ghost Hunt. My mommy and I (She hates that I'm taller than her!) Kristen is ready to shoot some ghosts! Anthony and I on Ghost Hunt. Meh it's a credit! Us in the second car. "Oh dear lord! Why!?!?!" Us on the Rotor! These flyers sucked! The Haunted Graveyard was AMAZING! One last ride on Down Time. What's a better way to end a great night with Coffee! -Dainan "I can't wait to get my other credits, and go back to this great park!" Rafferty
  4. Pedroland makes sence in South Of The Border, but Parque Italo Americano in Venezuela, that's just wierd!
  5. www.myspace.com/coasterdainan My website's myspace!
  6. Congradulations guys (unless this is an other prank!) Well, have fun witht his one. -Dainan "Congradulations" Rafferty
  7. I have to agree! Any way, looks like a great trip! I really need to get down to Florida again soon!
  8. This guy looks like me at work last night
  9. I was there. It was crazy. Rides kept breaking down,a nd Medusa's line was out to the bridge. GASm had a full line and RT's line was overflowing with one train operation! I have a Photo TR from that day!
  10. Thanks, I like the hoodie too (wearing it right now).
  11. It's easy to evacuate the Intamin 1st generation drop towers, but the new ones have to either be pulled down, wait, or be taken down by a cherry picker!
  12. People: Me Anthony (the benny) Kenny (Kenskie87) Spike (Nitro Fan) who happened to be dressed up like the Joker. Amanda (ox. Queenda Ka .xo) Anthony, Spike and I arrive at the park at 2:30. I get the VIG pass and Kenny comes and meets up with us. While there this guy Kyle comes up to me and says, "You're from GADV.com right? I said yes. He told me he was Six Flags Freak and I said, "Nice to meat you I'm CycloneMan", Spike, Anthony, and Kenny looked at me and said, "Duh, he knows!" We wait ten minutes for Amanda and than she comes. We go over to Kingda Ka. We relize it broke down so we went over to El Toro. We got there and it was broken. it got fixed. We get intot he station while they are testing. They let people on, than they had to get off. They test it again. Than they let people on. They dispatch the train and it stops on at the bottom of the lift. We left and went over to Rolling Thunder. Amanda finally got her Rolling Thunder left credit. It was bumpy but alot smoother than my last two times. I was happy to see they were using the Blue train. After that we saw El Toro broke again. We walk over the bridge to go to Medusa. The line was stretched all the way back to the bridge! YAY VIG! We went on and got a pretty decent ride. We walk back and see El Toro running. We see there's a line on the ramp. We wait it, while it breaks down AGAIN! The train comes back into the break run and we watch Kingda Ka go up the tower, and me and Amanda kept saying lowely, "Rollback, rollback!" and this kid in the train starts yelling, "ROLLBACK ROLLBACK!" Like us and I looked at him and said, "How'd you know what I was thinking?" He laughed and said, "It rolled back Monday!" His train went in and he came down the ramp and said, "You're CycloneMan aren't you?" He was Mysterio, it was nice to meet you too! Finally we get on and have a great ride. Amanda and I got 3rd to last row. Spike got second to last, and Kenny and Anthony got the last row. It was running really well, minus the constant break downs. And while waiting on the break run, Amanda and I...well I think you know lush: . Anway, we got off and the train infront of us got stuck on the lift. Great job Intamin you built an other winner! Amanda and I than rode RMT which was fun. We go over to the Boardwalk and see GASM's line over flowing. God, I love VIG. We ride GASM which was a bit on the rougher side but it was still fun. We got off and we rode Space Shuttle (minus Spike). It actually didn't kill me this time. It was actually fun. We went over to Wok N Roll and got ober priced Chinese Food. After that we went on Skull Mountain. Amanda and I got on the train before Spike, Kenny, and Anthony. This was the best ride I ever had on Skull Mountain and tastiest! Yes guys, it did happen (you know what I mean)! After that we all went on Nitro. Amanda and I got the third row, and the rest got the second. Going up the lift hill with the stars above us was really cool. Only Amanda and I would find being on Nitro's lift with stars above us romantic! The ride itself was fantastic! Of course. After that we went on Batman. It was actually a bit rougher than usual, but it was still smoother than any SLC I've ever been on, and it was also really cold. We walked over to Main Street and played with some ghouls. It was funny to see people think he was a ghoul. We walked over to Dead Man's Party and cought about 15 minutes of it. It was pretty cool actually. I filmed some of it too. We than took our VIG pass and walke dover to Kingda ka. Presented it to Security and we went up the ramp and we got to the station and saw the ride broken. 15 minutes later they open the chain and let people into the ONE train! They shut the chain and we wait. It broke again! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!! 10 minutes later they open the chain and Amanda and I run into the second row, Kenny and Spike get the 3rd and Anthony gets 4th. We are two trains away. When we were next, it broke down! Ten minutes later it reopened and we got on. Good ride, VERY COLD! After that Amanda and Kenny had to go home, so Anthony, Spike and I went down to the Lake and watched the Fireworks. After that we walked through the grave yard and went to the Terror Trails, it was closed at 9! On the way we ran into Ryan (NitroRyder33), Nick, Kyle (Six Flags Freek), and Killer Chiller. Ryan made a public announcment too. I also saw the new GM. He's scary! We walked over the Haunted Bridge (whitch looked better in daylight) and rode El Toro. It was great, escpecially when the guy next to me kept screaming, "OH MY GOD! YOU WHORE! HOLLY ----! YOU -----! YOU HO!" It was really funny! While coming back into the station we stopped short (one row off) and the train infront of us was stuck on the lift. Wow how fimiliar! They moved us up and we got off. After that we walked around again and went on Batman. It was good again. And Jeanette was working so it was nice to see her. It was 11 now and we saw someone go into Skull Mountain, so we followed. We were shocked to see the chain down and there was someone cleaning there and said nothing to us. An employee was walking down the queue and said nothing to us too. We get into the station and realize it's eriely quiet and the work lights are on and the train's aren't on the track. The ops saw us and told us it was closed (no duh). We then left the park. It was a great day, but Frigh Fest itself, wasn't that good! Rolling Thunder stuck! "Here's Joker!" Frigh Fest wasn't too frightfull this year Kenny This car is kind of far from the Parking Lot BLOOD FOUNTAIN! CLOWN! Amanda who wants to be a Tiger! Medusa had an insane line! El Toro needs to get fixed! Amanda and I next for El Toro Superstition was cool! "Elvira looks like she's having an orgasm"-Anthony LOOK AT GASM's LINE! Amanda and GASM Twister's line was WAY too long! Amanda is emo! Kenny is metrosexual! Skull Mountain was fantastic! Dead Man's Party YO! Me with the Dead Girls! Amanda at Kingda ka Amanda is upset because Kingda Ka keeps breaking down! We did get on though! (Doesn't the guy infront of us look kind of like Stew?) Fireworks are cool! Cool shot of Batman. It truely was a great night! -Dainan "Excellent way to end my season" Rafferty
  13. Robb, his mom and I got to the park at around 12:45. As we are walking to get our hand stamps this strange man came behind Robb and jumped on him. It was Chuck (Rider 117)! After that Chuck left and we got our hand stamps and went over to Phoenix. We waited for the front row. I took a POV and Robb was touching me in the dark tunnel. The ride was flying, really smooth with great airtime. We did it again in the 3rd row. I've been on the Phoenix a few times back in 2004, but didn't sit in the 3rd row. It was really good. Great airtime and a bit rougher than the first row. After Phoenix we went and checked out the Flying turns. it's really coming along great and we signed some wood too and got to go on the track. It was cool. Robb and I then went on Looper. We were a bit confused at first but we got it to loop a few times. At one point we perfectly balanced upside down and we did a full circut upside down. We screamed "Chiller" too! It was alot of fun. We then went over to the Haunted House. I sat by myself while Robb sat with his mom. I still love this ride. But when I was in the skull room the lights turned on when I was 6 feet from the door, which was a bit wierd. Then Robb and I went on Sky Slide which killed my legs going up and down! The we went on Satellite. One of the last Roll-O-Planes around. it was crazy. Robb and I kept sliding into each other and hurting each other. Then we did my least favorite ride in the park. High Speed Thrill Coaster. Robb needed the credit so I went on. I'm not changing my mind, this ride still sucks! Than we went on the Scenic Skyway. I'll admit, I was really scared when the ride started. Mainly becuase I was sitting on a bench attatched to a rope. When you got to the top of the mountain, the view was incredible. Coming down I wasn't scared. After that, Robb and I went on Power Surge. It was nice, but the one at Coney Island was ALOT better. We did this twice and it broke my carlor bone! We than went over to twister where Robb finally got to ride it. Front row, with out pushing the lap bar down too far. It was great until we clonked heads right before the double helix. I must say that I was a little dissapointed. I love this coaster but I remember it being a lot faster with more airtime back in 2004. Actually I compared my two POV's and my 2004 one is faster. Anyway, we went around and did it again. But in the last row and I had a two click lap bar. I actually stood up to see how much air I'd get and my but was on the top of the back of the seat (meening I wasn't safe) so I pulled it down and it locked at 3 click. Well it was great. We rode it 3 more times before heading to the Flyers. I had some trouble snapping my Flyer. Last time I rode the Flyer's non-stop and I snapped like crazy. Out of the two rides (second one Chuck was on too) I snapped about 4-5 times. I needed my sister, she was the Snapping Queen. She snapped before I could and she was 9! Robb liked it though. After my depressing two rides on the Flyers, I went over to Fondango while Robb took a last row ride on the Phoenix. Fondango was my first frisbee type ride facing outwards. It was nice, but facing outwords isn't as insane as inwords. After those two rides we walked around the Fair and left! But on the way out we ran into Chuck again. We talked for a bit and his friend came by. He introduced him self to Robb and I went to shake his hand and said, "Hi I'm..." Before I can finish he says, "Dainan, I know!". That was bizzare. He introduced himself, He was Dark Ride Dan. So now I've met more people. Also in a gift shop I saw my ACE buddy Bill Gavin (better known as Back Seat Bill.) POV List: High Speed Thrill Coaster Phoenix Twister Haunted House Sky Slide Scenic Skyway Flyers Ride List: Phoenix, 2x (3x for Robb) Looper 1x Haunted House, 1x Sky Slide, 1x Satellite, 1x High Speed Thrill Coaster, 1x Scenic Skyway, 1x Power Surge, 2x Twister, 5x Flyers, 2x Fondango, 1x Robb on the way!

  16. It's closed because it killed itself. It'll be back next year But not Freefall. This is what happened: On June 2nd, there was an accident on Robin.What hapened was, there was a crack on the inside f the wheel assembly on the 3rd car, left sde. During the ride, the wheel assembly came off. Thus the third car became lop sided. When it hit the LIM's on the spike, the LIM fin on the left side, third car smashed into the LIM's and the car, making it all mangelled! The FIN went into the car and cuting a kids leg from his knee to his ankle. He shoulv'e been sent to the hospital, but he decided to stay. The third car ended up slaming into the fourth car, injuring one kids arm (they went to the hospital). The train hen came down and valleyed, or more screached back and fourth. While this happened the whole power house shook! Also, the mechanics had to break off the LIM fin to get the injured kids off

  24. My dad got home from work and dropped me off at Astroland at 5:45. At 6:00 Am they started filming with 6 people (including my self), Larry Hoff and his crew on the Scrambler. In between takes I fell asleep in the car. After about 3 rides, they made us ride the big Apple. Yes the Big Apple (Pinifari Wacky Worm). There were long breaks in between shoots.Two more people came. They made us do th tea cups, twice. I span out of control, it was intense. Then we did the Carousel, which we broke while they were filming (The motor went dead). Then around 7:30 we moved up to the Water Flume. Anthony (MedusaDude) then met up with us. We did two takes on the Water flume. The first time I barely got wet. The second time, apsolutely drenched, that everyone looked and was like, "Holly ----!" It was also really cold out! We ate breakfast (bagels and a doughnut) and we went on Break Dance. Originally they were supposed to film on Top Spin 2, but it broke last Saturday and they never bothered to fix it! Break Dance they ddi opne shoot, and they ran it slow. Slower than rodeo Stampede. Anthony and I were pissed, btu oh well. We were finished and Anthony and I left and cought the N train,a nd we went home. Me at Astrolnad at 5:45 AM. Good morning Cyclone Me on the Scrambler Nice old Logo. "I'm still tired" On the Big Apple! On the Tea Cups Anthony doesn't look too happy to be riding the Water flume My breakfast! Anthony and I on Break Dance (I swear to god we are not wierd!) Time to go home! Thanks for reading!
