V2-dude Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Ever since I started working at SFDK, I haven't really had the chance to enjoy the park as a guest. I happened to have a couple of days off this week, so I decided to check out the park. after, part 2 to come later before This one's REALLY wet The park's splashdown boat Loose articles are a no-no. Next up was ROAR Even hang'n'bang was a walk on, and it normally has the longest line Believe it or not, Thomas had the longest line in the park. His moving eyes are REALLY creepy Here comes that metrosexual Sir Hat dude Thomas attracts all of the kids with his huge fake plastic..........wheels. (Seriously, those wheels are actually fake) Thomas comes around the bend A big problem with the new statues is that kids love to play on them, despite there being a barrier They really are milking the name change, it's even on the bathroom sign "I'm the giant snake on the side of Medusa's station.... GIMMIE SOME CANDY!!!!!!! It was a five minute wait for the front, and a walk on for every other row Time to ride Medusa! The red train, however, had it's front row open. The yellow train had it's front seat roped off. The hang'n'bang going up the lift A look at a closed V2 The Entrance Plaza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V2-dude Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Part 2 Every park should have a first aid station this close to their Vekomas, part 3 coming later Three trains in one shot! The shark comes down to bite the train Boomerang, one of the better ones. VooDoo was stuck in this position for about ten minutes Elephants WOAH, screw the lions and tigers, this looks like a MUCH better exhibit a little monkey thing a baby bat, sorry about the blurriness Sounds interesting, let's check it out .....so was he. This guy was lying around..... Giant tortoise It's the themed yet generically named Skycoaster!!!! The flamingo pond behind VooDoo I wonder how he feels, out of all the rides in the park to be named after him, he gets the world's slowest SLC. This part of the park was DEAD FISHY!!!!!! Thrilla Gorilla with it's new sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V2-dude Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Part 3 One final shot. They got V2 running, and it ended up having the longest line of any coaster, but still shorter than Thomas For all you flat ride freaks out there, this was the world's first Zamperla Hawk 48. Hammerhead More penguins! Penguins! These guys looked like they were going to fight, but someone threw a fish into the pool and the one on the right went to get it, what a fatass This is NOT an acceptable amount of wetness!!! Alright, stop plugging Toyota already! As you can see, the park was pretty empty. Back to the Pacific Northwest setting, I see. Shouka was about to start, so I thought I'd watch. Much better than Stargate, but I still wish they would bring back Dino It's fellow TPR member Rollerholden! The standard verision is much better than the Giant Frisbee's, IMO Tazmanian Devil is the park's Frisbee. Bird pirate treasure theatre island world or whatever it's called The gator is just angry because he has to live under a Vekoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Nice TR and some great pics as well! SFDK looks really nice. That's by far the most I've seen of it in pics. The themeing looks real good, and I can't believe it looks that well after being owned by Six Flags all this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Who goes to work on their day off, seriously? Aside from that wise remark, great TR, and again, showing off how nice looking Thomas Town is. At least this reaffirms my faith in Shapiro after seeing that LaRonde TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V2-dude Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Who goes to work on their day off, seriously? Well, I haven't really seen the changes of the park this season, and I hadn't been there as a guest except for maybe an hour or so before or after my shift to get a few rides in, and I wanted to check out the rest of the park.

XanderLee Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 That photo of me came out so bad! And that "shark" at Boomerang isn't a shark! His name is Oscar! Haha..we have an Oscar on our Boomerang at SFOT too..but he's a spider..or bug...it's kind of unclear heh. Edit - Picture This was before the refurb he got this year, but you get the idea.

asr Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 SFDK looks nicer every time I see it! Are you sure this park isn't owned by Busch or something? And why can't SFNE be that nice? Also, I agree with you that normal frisbees are ALOT better then the giant ones. I rode maXair thinking it would be mindblowing because normal frisbees are so fun, but instead it really meh. I can't believe that the giant ones supposedly go 70 MPH, it's just impossible with how boring they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still has that touch of Six Flags ghetto...i mean class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
