pkdcoaster Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Well, I was invited to join up with my buddys Chris, Erin and Rob for Labor day at PKD and thought it would be good to take my son too. Turns out my whole family was not doing anything either and they all wanted to come. Sadly my wife could not come since her Gynnosaurus told her to take it easy since Aidan (first kid) was born really early. So she got a R&R day. Well CF gave us a great Value as far as a 2007 Season Pass. Regular PKD only pass-$65 Cedar fair MAXX pass-$90 with free parking if you are renewing (SWEET!) Really good value considering regular pass this year was $100! My family (Mom,Dad, Sis) Do not go to parks too often now since I turned 16 but they go every once in a blue moon. My Sis remembers how I always used to be about getting there right at opening and running or "power" walking to all the rides. How naive of her to think I grew out of that We ran to Volcano along with everybody else. I took my secret shortcut but was caught by the security guard leading "the herd" at the last second. We could have been on the 2nd train but opted for the front row (6 train wait) Great as always. We met with my parents who took my son (Aidan) on every kiddie ride that was open and he had a blast, he is really starting to love KD alot We met my buds at lunch time at Chick fil a and next was the coveted credit in the park TAXI JAM!!! So I pimped out my son so they could get their kiddie coaster credit We rode Scooby's haunted mansion which is always a great family ride that EVERYONE can ride. Flight of Fear was down all day major Bummer We rode TR, IJ, DZ and Grizzly and everybody liked the "new" rides alot. Me and my Fam left at 3pm as the rain started to fall but Chris and Rob stayed longer so he can probably finish the Photo's TR off. We all had a great time the weather was nice and the crowds were pretty light for Labor Day. Enjoy the pics, JEFF Saturdays sign will read "Now open Daily through the weekend" Sis and Dad on Griz Sis and Rob approve of the new coaster Me and Pop Yea I'm cute Headlights! haha Come on Ya'll lets go rootin!!! Croc has some gas issues The Humpty Dance is your chance........ Scooby Dooby Doo Me, Aidan, Chris, Mom, Ashley (Sis), Dad, Rob (he loves birds) too much chicken Dads happy too Still happy Somebody does not mind the re-rides Best Credit ever!!!! Erin's TJ credit Having fun is hard work!
redfoot12 Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Awesome. The CF MAXX Pass sounds like a winner.
BeemerBoy Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Nice job, Jeff. You actually made Tomb Raider look like a fun ride. And that's saying alot since I wouldn't be caught dead on any flat that could make me sick. Also, how far in advance do I need to place a reservation in order to use Aidan for that credit? Glad you guys got to enjoy the holiday there.
bgwfreak Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 I wish I could get the TJ credit. Nice TR. Really good pics of TR. I probably won't make it up there this year. Carowinds is having the same price package for the SP's.
Coaster Palooza Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Great TR Jeff! Gyendolynne and I will be visiting her parents in Virginia at the end of the month. We're going to PKD and Busch Gardens while we're there. Thanks for the info on the CF MAXX Pass too. I haven't seen anything at PGA yet.
mforce79 Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Man, those shots of Tomb Raider make the ride look good, huh? Nice Photos as usual. I'm glad my first ride on Taxi Jam was well documented! Rob and I stayed until about 5:30, got a ride on Volcano, IJ and Drop Zone again. It was so cloudy, I didn't bother taking many pictures, but I can't seem to leave my camera at home anymore. Thanks TPR. I'm impressed with the Cedar Fair pass as well, hope to get plenty of use out of it next year. Again, thanks to Aidan for the new credit after all these years! The 265 Proving that trees do make better pictures, especially on cloudy days This shot took some serious planning All I want is a chainlift? How about a new credit instead!! Damn rainy weekend in VA
