Canadmos Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I'm moving tomorrow (have to be up in 5 hours, so this is going to be quick), so this was my last trip to Wonderland for the year. I didn't do too many rides. I spent most of the day just walking around and watching some of the shows. I did Psyclone, Stunt Show, Italian Job, White Water Canyon, School of Rock and Timberwolf Falls. I thought the stunt show was pretty lame on most aspects, but the number and size of the explosions and fireballs were great. I was surprised that they are using what appears to be actual blanks in the pistols and the 'surprise' at the end was nice in the heat. On another note, it appears that Orbiter's (Huss Skylab) gondolas are attached to the wheel again! One other thing that I must comment is Skyrider. They were running both trains, but only loading one....wtf? Damn, gas is above one dollar a liter again On the freeway, damn antenna got in the way Yay, almost in. I was really shocked at the security today. I had a pop can in my bag and they actually took it away from me. I have never had that happen to me here before! I know they don't want outside food inside the park, but come on, one pop can? I didn't ride this today. My back thanked me. Something didn't work on Italian Job. Whats new? I'm in LA! Whats the hold up? bumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbump I guess it does take some nice pictures. Too bad it doesn't ride that nice. Almost there. By this point I was ready to get wet and get cool off. Hmm..ghetto They should put a mini model of Scream! right here... Someone from Jane and Finch must be lost, right here in front of the audience a drug deal went down. weeee bang pwnt broke Time to get wet again. I told my girlfriend if we sit in the back we won't get that wet, I guess she won't be listening to me anytime soon again. Vortex through the trees! Exclusive! I wish I had gone on Drop Zone. Oh well, there is an Intamin drop ride where I am moving too, no loss. No trip report is complete without an Arrow looper My feet were still soaking wet from the boat ride, so I tried to air them out while waiting for the bus. Sorry if anyone was around!! Minebuster's ride ops were being really efficient today.
shesaidboom Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 On another note, it appears that Orbiter's (Huss Skylab) gondolas are attached to the wheel again! Awesome pictures. I need to get some more use out of my seasons pass. I've only been to the park a couple times so far this year.
rollermonkey Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Nice pictures. The stacking of the trains on IJ is to simulate LA traffic. Was Sledgehammer broken in the up position? That'd be a cruddy place to get stuck! I really like the Vortex shot, it's actually my favorite Arrow suspended. Yes, I have been on BBW. (I'm 7 for 10 on Arrow suspendeds, with only Eagle Fortress in Korea missing from those still open!) Which Intamin drop tower is near where you are moving to?
