Thrillrider15 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Alright. This is my trip review of Valleyfair and Renegade: Renegade was great! It never slowed down. Fast, insane twists and turns. Pops of airtime everywhere. It's now my favorite roller coaster. While some rides weren't open, my friend and I had a great time! Be sure to check out the video of Valleyfair soon! We all wait anxiously for the gates to open, and we rush to Renegade like those animals on Animal Planet. Patriotic Wild Thing! Yeah, the front of the park. One of the greatest coasters out there! And there's Renegade, the spotlight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillrider15 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 More photos: Renegade's hot! That's me, and my friend Mike (aka, the freshman that's in Calculus). The ride operator was so kind, he took a picture of us!...And we took a picture of him. But you won't be seeing him, he doesn't want to be seen. btw, I'm on the left. Yeah! Same here! Happy riders! Why do I have the feeling I'm going to die? Nice Power Tower! Nope. Riptide was not open! But that's ok. I wasn't in the mood for claustrophobic flipping until your legs turn purple. It's that bad Morgan hyper coaster. Even though it might not be the best, it still gives off the most intense airtime of any other roller coaster in the park. Hey Freshman Calculus person! I think Steel Venom is jealous because he's not the newest roller coaster anymore. I like getting wet. I guess I Dan and I have different ways.

ConleyKE Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I'm jealous! Renegade looks amazing. Glad you had fun. BTW I know that the supports on Intamin Impulse coasters only go about half-way up the spikes, but is it just me or does Steel Venom look like it's about to topple in that first picture? Either that or the picture is just slightly tilted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillrider15 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 More shots: The main entrance, In my opinion is better than Balder's. Back to Renegade! Yay! High Roller! A nice coaster, with split second airtime. I also tried the new camera system on the Corkscrew. But they weren't selling any videos. Only one Turbo Drop tower was operating today. Have I told you how neat Renegade is? Another highlight! If I didn't know better, Mike was eating his hand. It's Freshman Calculus and Erik. And Freshman Calculus is bored because of Excalibur. This is probably the best picture you can get of Excalibur. Excalibur, with nearly no lines at all.....Again! Yeah. It looks better in the other pic.

I love DW Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Thanks for the trip report. Renegade looks great. During construction I thought that entrance would look odd but it actually looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Is it just me, or are brand new GCI coasters orgasmic looking? Okay, so maybe it's just me, but it does look good right? Thanks for the pics dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillrider15 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 More photos: Yeah! We broke the rules......but then, who doesn't? Hey High Roller. I like Renegade more than you! The train flies by really fast! This is a picture for all those perverts out there. It's no fun waiting for 45 minutes to ride. But it means no more Wild Thing for today. I found the ghost train! It's stopped at the mid course brakes. I'm not sure what's going on.... Look! There's the train! Wait, where'd it go? Oh, right, it's a ghost train! Another shot of the ghost train! Also, there are six cars on the train, you just can't see the sixth, because it's a ghost train. A myth out there says you can't see the last car sometimes since the crash last year. What's this? A ghost train! On Wild Thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastercameron Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Nice pics! Great weather for opening day, and a GREAT new coaster. I officially had the best weekend ever out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillrider15 Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 More photos: I end this trip report, with this beauty! Yeah. I bought a Renegade souvenir, because I love it! I think it likes you! Scary Calculus Kid! Outside the entrance now. It's time to go home. The Corkscrew! Yeah. It's one rough ride. Yeah. I gave Renegade a double thumbs up (notice how the ride messed up my hair). We rode Renegade one more time before the park closed. As you can see, someone blocked the entrance after we got off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemmy Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I loved Valleyfair when I was there last June. Hopefully can go back sometime for Renegade and perhaps another new ride by that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verticalzero Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 You've taken some great photo's, what's the "S" 1st drop like on Renegade..? Wild Thing looks cool and are there any special effects in it's tunnel..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Ahhh, you remind me how much I love the paint scheme on wild thing! Great pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 ^^No, none whatsoever, unless you count an on-ride photo. I personally don't know what everyone is talking about with airtime on Wild Thing's second hill. I have ridden Wild Thing many times and have yet to experience anything more powerful than a slight nudge of floater air for about two seconds on that hill. Mamba's and Steel Force's second hills have WAY more powerful air that carries for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
