Opening day Photo TR: Great America (3.31.07)


Recommended Posts

Well, first photo TR, lets see how it goes... (these were from my phone, so pretty crappy, and not that many)

 

But first...Cedar Fair changes (and non-changes) that I remember:

STILL HAVE COKE!

Seat belts on Demon

No more gum everywhere

new color square loading on drop zone

No more opening pre-show

Orbit is Open

 

So, no real changes. (and...they still have coke!)

 

 

 

Well, everything is open, even orbit.

 

 

 

"Where's Tower?"

 

First things first, need to get the pass done..

they use a new pass system, no picture, or even name on the pass. They do take a picture, and it comes up when you scan the pass at the gate.

 

 

First hit the Vortex, Back seat. Intense. Fast. Painful. But fun. It did take (what seemed like) 5 min to load the trains (at least there were 2)

 

 

Next up in the trip around the death machines is the Demon.

*

Not to bad, (I did go a 2nd time) but I did notice 2 things...

Just like the coke machine says "thank you cedar fair, WE HAVE COKE!!!"

and....

Belts!!

They seem to have no use, and the Ops didn't even check them.

 

And, for the 3rd Death Machine, Invertigo

Lets just say, "Its a (somewhat smooth) Vekoma" (note the "koma" part)"

 

Look, they cleaned up all the gum! (my dad is happy)

 

*

Good Ride (just not for the man parts). No line, like always.

 

"We're the water-less masks...we can't spray people anymore. And our friend fire isn't doing to good either"

 

Lets go for dirt pictures:

 

Now, this is the pain I go through to get you these very bad shots...

Lets just say...not ment for anyone over 48in

Yep, a ride on the kiddy coaster. Very tight fit, but I did get some pictures (that has to be the stupidest picture of me...ever)

 

Ooo...a wave pool in construction

(they still have about 2 months tell opening)

 

(guy on left: "you wanna drive that thing into the pool")

(guy on right: "Hell Yeah!)

/dirt pictures

We walked, napped, talked, got some candy, and ended up at.....

TOP GUN!!

somewhat long (for this park at least) line, took about 40 min (for the front)

however, dispatches weren't bad, about 2 min/train

 

OMG, new themeing!

(I didn't think cedar fair knew about that kind of stuff!)

 

"The Money Shot"

 

Well, that pretty much it. Not a good TR, but not that bad, right?

Yea those missles have been there since the ride opened. They've just had the roll-up door closed for the past few years. Im glad to see that Cedar Fair is re-descovering some of the theming!

 

Now i guess we have to wait till next season to get some real changes to happen!

^Yea, I went to the park on opening day too, and it was up and running. Everything was running actually, not one ride was down. BTW Top Gun and Demon had extremely slow dispatch times.

 

 

Now i guess we have to wait till next season to get some real changes to happen!

 

Yea the only thing that doesn't have the "Paramount" logo on is on the sign in front of Columbia, and a few employee shirts that i noticed, everything else still said paramount.
