SharkTums Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Nice pix! I really hope they're just refurbing Sandstorm. BGT has a nasty habit of removing flats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida420 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Nice TR, but I'm a little upset. Now I have seen 2 of the entrances for houses at HOS and they are the same as last year, same name, location, everything. Last year is the first year I went to HOS and I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure if I want to spend the $$ to see the same stuff again. If there is any one who goes to HOS a lot, can you tell me if they do all the same houses or just repeat a few, and will it be the same scare zones too? I want to go, but if it's gonna be all the same I might skip it and just do HHN instead of both. Although if they have the pink headed nurses again, I might reconsider!

thefitness Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Ya if sandstorm left I would be pretty mad! Florida420...I would just go to HHN I hear HOS SUCKS! Thanks for the comments and hopefully ill have some more pics up later since I am planning on going back this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Nice pix! I really hope they're just refurbing Sandstorm. BGT has a nasty habit of removing flats. I think thats whats happening, if Busch removes another flat... gah . //waits for the day Busch gets a Huss giant frisbee and giant top spin.

obeygiant Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Nice pics...You actually enjoyed going on coasters alone??? Last time I was forced to ride a coaster alone, I cursed my brother out in front of the entire line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I am sure Snadstorm is still going to be there, I think they are just doing an extensive rehab of the ride. It was on the not-running-today list at the entrance of the park last Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Uh... it's been about 9 months since I hit BGT&A last. And something is really confusing me about those pictures. What the hell happened to the tunnel on SheiKra's second drop? How come I don't see it? Am I blind? Did they remove it? Is it just not filled w/ mist anymore? What's the deal? I am uber confused.

thefitness Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 ^look at the third Sheikra picture...The mist isnt on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hmm... okay. That totally didn't look like the tunnel when I first looked at it. And the trees cover it up well in the other pictures. Alright. That's a bit more excusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks for the pics--I'm hoping to check out BGT in October. I've never been, and I hear that their Howl-o-Scream is a bit more intense than Williamsburg's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefitness Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 If your coming to Fl in October Definately check out BGT but i would recomend HHN over HOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfie Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 That's really odd! I rode sandstorm on our visit in April - now that's a FUN ride! I can't see why they're taking it down, unless they're doing something similar to what SFGAm is doing for SFOT with their Triple Play. Andrew "Awwww man..." C.

ebl Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I didn't know BGT/A was taking out Python. Glad I rode it when I was there last. There aren't very many original Arrow Corkscrews left. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefitness Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 PART II Hey yesterday me and my Dad went to BGT. We got on Sheikra twice before it Started raining and thundering(we were pelted in the face with rain during our second ride on Sheikra haha)Then we waited it out and rode what we could. Sheikra=2 Gwazi=1(tiger) Montu=1 Python=1 Everything eles was too crowded or not working at the time. Here are the pictures! They arent posted in order that i took them... All Congo/Python pictures will come later in a Part3 A week later and still no construction! it stormed on the way home TPR shirts make anyone look like a sexy bitch Peeper? Behind THE HUNTED sign why is the knife bleeding? camo on the bridge The fruit of Big Bens loins! ooo Spooky Was this stuff here last year too? Right by the Congo/Stanleyville bridge Can anyone read what it says? Now for HOS Construction Picture of it raining... haha mmmm YAY the Wood of the day! Atleast the sign is still up! Its sad to see it like that though all the boards ae still around it...actually there are even more now...but there is a perfect opening to squeeze your camera through YAY! I think this means they are just refurbing Sandstorm! Aw an ass! I like this akward track before the Cobra Roll Anyone know what that flat peice of steel is hanging from the track is? Everytime we went by Kumba it wasnt working NO its just Kumba!Awww its a kitty Is this for HOS?(sarcasm) end of Illeman Turn before lift "Oh baby when you talk like that you make a woman go mad!".....i mean...BACK TO THE TR! Cool train front That our friend sheikra's holding break! Pointless shot! They tease you with a small "window" looking on sheikra's lift YAY sheikra Weird plastic leaves and flowers on the bridge to sheikra....are these for HOS? Is this hill the reason they dont deul anymore? But it looks cool! Gwazi is rough and not very fun anymore Shot from tiger's lift Crowded Que Lion chain lift ...I hate my job grrr ima purple tiger Montu Montu Montu!....thats the last Montu pic Bottom of the second loop First Drop weeeeee IMO these wheel covers(i think thats what they are) dont look bad ass enough! Cool themeing WORD! Turn going into final inversion Zero G Roll V for vertical loop After it rained they had to run the trains through with no one on them Lift Hill Hey look its Montu Awesome first drop Montu's MCBR Montu! The height requirment chart that crushes hundreds of young guests dreams everyday Nairobi Gate was Open! BGT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
