UFAlien Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 So, I went on a quick jaunt to SFNE today and decided to do my first Photo TR! On the way out, I wanted to go on Shipwreck Falls, but it was testing. So I left, having ridden THREE whole rides! Just another shot... because this ride rocks. The one trim brake on the whole ride didn't even seem to be on today. If it was, it barely did anything! Superman... through the trees... through the TRACK! While I was in line, I saw this girl who looked just like Elissa, until she took her sunglasses off. She had really freaky eyebrows. Obviously, I can't skip Superman! I rode the Cyclone... and I got FLOATER AIR! I thought it was impossible, but I swear it's true! I was almost standing up four times! The Legion of Doom was there, in their costumes in the 96 degree weather. Yikes. Scream! I didn't go on this either. I did go on Catapult though! Even though it does squish your gut. Pandemonium, the spinning coaster. I didn't ride it, because even the single riders line was way too long. They've already put some Fright Fest theming up. This was the line for the tram to the park when I showed up. I walked instead. This lady was walking around selling Season long parking passes. They do know it isn't the 45th anniversary anymore, right? The park today was really crowded, which surprised me since the park has been nearly empty the last few times I came.

TheRapidsNerd Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Good report. Got a good laugh out of the dead-pan tag line "I was there...with a camera." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewlcoasterdude Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 B&M has just as many if not way more coasters with unwarranted trims. So don't go there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan1127 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The trim brake is always "on". It's magnetic, just like the main brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Massive amounts of people and long Q's are the fun for Summer Holiday's at Theme Parks. I don't bother going to Theme Park during June to Sept as i'm not wasting 2 / 3 hours standing / sitting around for a 30 sec ride. I'll wait till the schools go back in Sept and only wait 15 / 20 mins or a walk-on. How much was the cost for the entrance into the Park..? do you hold a season ticket..?

UFAlien Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yes, I have a season pass. It's still $15 for parking. And, thanks SupermanFan, that's good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but in the states many theme parks aren't open during the week after school starts. I believe many go to weekends only in September. And crowds during weekends can still be bad. -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFAlien Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 That is the way that SFNE operates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFAlien Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 No, just taking the picture of the Legion of Doom scared me away . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor6 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I rode the Cyclone... and I got FLOATER AIR! I thought it was impossible, but I swear it's true! I was almost standing up four times! LIES!! It's all lies!! You must have gone to another park and rode different roller coaster named Cyclone!! Six Flags New England's Cyclone does not equal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFAlien Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 See, that's what I thought, and it's the reason I was so amazed. But it was actually REALLY good. Plus it was the one coaster that didn't have a huge line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrceagle Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 No, just taking the picture of the Legion of Doom scared me away . YA that Joker Mask is Frighteningly Unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFAlien Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Actually, it wasn't a mask.. just makeup. So, no, it wasn't that, just that I was kind of embarrassed to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudvayneimn Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Once again, Lies! all Lies! Jay Leno doesn't even have a chin that big. Nice photo TR...I would never venture to any park this time of year. You are very brave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFAlien Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 It was a prosthetic chin, which I deem to be part of "makeup", as just a chin doesn't constitute a mask. He was creepy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
