Canobie Fan Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 So yeah... I had want'd more El Toro in my life.. And SFNE2005/Rich wanted more as well.. So we went..Yeah. So I had been to Gadv back in Aug and got my last 2 'open' credits I needed... El toro and Kingda Ka. But Rich was all "blahblahblah I need the kiddies still.." And I was all "L o L z.. I got themz last year.. have fun" and then he got all "Hey! I drove your-ass down here.. now ride!".. So i did.. So yeah..BBLTT had the last 5 cars blocked off... yay! After that I HAD to ride Road Runner.... But then I got to ride something..Uh...good I still love Nitro. But after last week at La Ronde... Nitro just wasnt as good ...But we still rode it 3 times 6 Days ago we had been on Vampire.. The BEST BTR I had ever been on.. So GADvs BTR didnt do much for me.. But hey look! Chick'N'Chick is back! "Hey look! Im closed...Still.........." El Toro was only running one side ..wait what? Such a good ride. And with Q-Bot gold.. we got 5 rides on it El Toro is sooo much better then Badler I mean..Balder; Mmmmm...Airtime.... Uhh..... You'd like that wouldnt you... Oh yeah.. Its FrightFest time.. So they had all this crap out. El Toro + Backseat = !!! Uh... Rich told me to take a photo of his shoe... So here it is. Remember when SFOG had a para-tower.... Yay Intamin-e-goodness.. And the only noncoaster I rode. SUF didnt even open till like.. 4.. And I dont even know why we rode it.. It sucks...still. "Hey look at me! You'v seen me 5 times now.. And I still havent let you ride me!" (At least I got to see it test this time.. ) Uh....T-Shirt? Woo.. MORE El Toro... After El Toro ride #5 we went over to Medusa.. And I still love it. Before we left for a nice long 6 hour ride home.. We were going to get one more Toro ride.. But then we didnt.
Canobie Fan Posted September 11, 2006 Author Posted September 11, 2006 Yeah "Too hot for thrillnetwork" Tis why none of my TRs end up on that site Oh I guess I should also make a note that.... GASM and SUF didnt open till like...4pm KK never opened.. or tested.. Not that I would have wasted my time on it anyways... Yeah... thats it.
niiicolaaah Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 nice pics James hmm... I need to get out to ride El Toro! But you like it, so I'll probably hate it.
Canobie Fan Posted September 11, 2006 Author Posted September 11, 2006 But you like it, so I'll probably hate it. ! Noooo! El Toro IIIISSSS good!
DarkStitch626 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Thats a good TR man... you like El Toro better than Balder..shame on you..lol El Toro was awsome!. I forget how many rides I got on it before I left NJ..
pkdcoaster Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Nice photos as usual. Less than 2 weeks til my visit. Was there a sign saying KK would be down ALL day? What time did El Toro open? TIA, JEFF
Canobie Fan Posted September 11, 2006 Author Posted September 11, 2006 There wasnt any sign about Kingda Ka. but the midway was blocked off at the restrooms by the kiddie slides.. So it didnt even have hope. As for El Toro.. Sign says it opens at 12.. But the ride was open at 11.
CP_RULES Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I give this PTR the honors of the "Best Smiley Useage" award. Great TR man!
TheKlockster Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 You got El Toro'd. That ride looks amazing. I hear it is even better than Voyage - from people who have been on both.
Rider117 Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Ka has been down for this whole weekend, I think it has to do with the TTD incident. Oh yeah, Toro is amazing.
Canobie Fan Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 I was thinking it might have had something to do with TTD... But it didnt matter to me anyways as I dont like the ride.. El Toro >>>>>>>>> KK
SFNE Dude Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Nice TR and pics. El Toro is truly amazing. I rode it 7 times when I was at GAdv a few weeks ago.
CP_RULES Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Ka has been down for this whole weekend, I think it has to do with the TTD incident. Oh yeah, Toro is amazing. Did something happen to TTD that I didnt hear about?
apollo210 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Nice PTR James, El TORO looks AWSOME! I would like to make it to SFGAdv some day, but I won't happen for at least 2 years, lol. Why was Kingda Ka down? And El Toro looks better than Balder so I believe you.
Canobie Fan Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 Is ET really better than Balder? Yes. Yes it is. I rode Balder something like 20 times (El Toro 8) and it was a good ride and all.. But El Toro is far better. The speed... The first drop.. The overall airtime it gives.. And El Toro OWNS Balder in its turns. Balder would have bene great if its turns didnt suck... El Toros are how Balders should have been.
ECZenith Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I see GADV has busted out the cheeseclothes of terror for Halloween. Will they actually have a haunted house this year?
larrygator Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 As for El Toro.. Sign says it opens at 12.. But the ride was open at 11. Actually they opened the queue at 10:05 as they were testing with employees and the first train of passengers (with me) left the station by 10:15 and then I got a reride because the GP are too stupid to move to the back of the platform
Canobie Fan Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 Well when we got to the park ET was stop'd on the lift. So we went down to nitro. We didnt get over to the ET area till around 11 when we saw it had been open.
ECZenith Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 For anyone going to GADV, the ET stopping on the lift hill seems to be an every day thing. They test the blocking system for the first hour or so of operation and then open the ride up. I'm surprised Ka is still down, I actually like that ride... if the wait is 10 minutes or so.
larrygator Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 James - I saw the train going up the hill and then stopping, from the parking lot. I took it as a good sign that they even started it up the hill that early in the morning, so I took a chance.
coasterguy618 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Wait, what happened with TTD? Thats is exactly what I want to know about also.
Canobie Fan Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 Over on ThrillNetwork someone dsaid it broke.. And a few TRs have said its been closed a few days.
