robbalvey Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hey everyone! Elissa and I will be in the Valleyfair area this coming weekend and we're planning on going to the park on Sunday. If you're interested in meeting up, please be in the front area by 9:30. This is just a "meet" not any kind of "event" so there is not ERT or anything like that. Just a chance to hang out with other TPR members. If you plan on meeting up, please respond to this thread *AND* email me at robbalvey@themeparkreview.com that way we can exchange cell phone numbers in case you show up late, etc. See you there! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Good to hear, Robb! Some shots of Renegade from you guys would be sweet! Wild Thing looks like a great Morgan hyper! -Zach 'My dad will be in the area, but I wont ' Boothe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfloydfanatic Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I plan to be there but I hope Renegade is ready this weekend. I hope it will be a good ride! I think it will blow everything out of the water at VF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfloydfanatic Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Whoops I thought it was this Saturday but if Renegade isn't ready by Saturday be plans to open on Sunday than I will be there. I would call the park to make sure it is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 ^ We'll we're doing B-roll filming on it tomorrow so I certainly would hope it's ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Wild Thing looks like a great Morgan hyper! That's an optical illusion. It's really not. I wish I could be there, but I'll have to wait until Memorial Day to hit Renegade. Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vffreak07 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 You gotta be kidding. Can't you come Saturday?!? That's when I'm going. Darn, I guess I'll have to wait to meet the famous Robb til later in life. : [ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyter Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I don't live far from VF and was planning to visit this weekend anyway, so this is perfect! You can count on seeing my mug there Sunday morning bright and early. Looking forward to meeting with you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrillrider15 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Well Robb, I go when Renegade opens, which will probably be Saturday. If it doesn't open on Saturday, and opens Sunday, prepare to see me there. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topdrag Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I will talk to my father and see if I can come Sunday but I have church so I probably wouldn't get there until around 1 or 2PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinacaniac Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 It almost sounds like people care more about Renegade than you Robb I'd go, but Minnesota is too far away for me to go on short notice. Hope you all have fun though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Shakopee, Minnesota 55379 USA) Classification: Roller Coaster Type: Steel - Sit Down Status: Operating since 5/11/1996 Builder: Morgan ? You totally missed his point. He was saying Wild Thing being a "great hyper" was not true. Not that it wasn't a Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuggles Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Doesn't the 2nd hill have like 4 solid seconds of floater air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xme3 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 oooo, sounds like this would be something that I would be more than likley to go to. the famous Robb and Elissa less than 10 minutes from my house!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemmy Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Doesn't the 2nd hill have like 4 solid seconds of floater air? Sarcasm I assume??? But I agree it is a pretty average coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I will be there! Look forward to meeting you guys. We were out at VF today getting my son's season pass processed. Afterwards we wandered back through the picnic grounds and immediately saw Renegade testing with passengers in the front row, water dummies in the rest. They've got a lot of last minute work to do in the surrounding area but the Marketing Rep I spoke with said it *will* be open Saturday - can't wait!

valleyair Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I'll plan on being there, not in the morning but in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerC Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Doesn't the 2nd hill have like 4 solid seconds of floater air? Are you kidding me? WildThing looks like the one of the most tame hypers I have ever seen. Ever since I saw the POV on my Greatest Thrill Rides 2000 Edition, I always thought it looks boring with it's slow straight drops and long overbanks where the train looks like it has no force what so ever.

snuggles Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Well... Can you see the airtime happening? Its got to be at least .3 G's over the 2nd hill, thats all I was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerC Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 How trimmed down is it? THanks god for Phantoms Revenge...probably the only coaster that isn't trimmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
