TR: Wild Waves 6/15

[odie]

Sorry but I could not get any pictures because I did not have a camera with me

 

So last Friday I got to go to Wild Waves (No more Six Flags Wild Waves and Enchanted Village). It was very cold at the start of the day at about 45 degrees but thankfully got wormer as the day went on. The start to the day, left the park almost empty all day.

 

First up was Wild Thing (Arrow corkscrew with 3 inversions) with no wait at all so we got the 2nd car. My head was fine until the start of the first corkscrew, the end of the second corkscrew, and into the break run (were the cart breaks half way through the station haha). Then the ride goes a second time.

 

Next up was the Timberhawk (S&S wood twister) which we grabbed the back car! Overall it has 2 pretty good airtime hills which were the first one and the fourth one because they both drop into a small valley. This time I noticed a flash on the fourth drop and sure enough they have now added a on ride photo booth to the exit which the photos are 10$ each.

 

After about 5 rides on Timberhawk we headed to Lumberjack falls (double drop flume) and Klondike Gold Rush (Zamperla Wild Mouse). Lumberjack was freezing considering the temperature and the little sprinkle of rain but we rode it 3 times in a row anyways because there was no line . The Klondike just kinda hurt.

 

When we were walking to Lumberjack and Klodike we noticed the Swing ride was now gone and instead there was a cement hole with the old swing fence around it. There was a sign that said new ride coming soon, I did end up asking someone but I don't know if they really knew what I was asking. He did say it was something like a Kangaroo Bouncer but I don't know what that is?

 

Next was just slides and flat rides. I did get on the Wild Thing again in the back and it was a little bit smoother. We also got on Timberhawk about 10 more times . Overall the new company seems to be doing well, I saw no cell phones and they ran the rides pretty smooth.

 

I hope to be giving more updates over the summer WITH PICTURES!

Thank you for reading!

The Kangaroo Bounce is a flat ride that has cars shaped like kangaroos that go up and down in circles. I think it is made by Zamperla? Anywho, glad to hear that even in that good old Pacific Northwest weather you can still have a good time! I am looking forward to going there next month.
