Canobie Fan Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 So every year I pull together a crazy ass day trip to NJ to get credits.. This year... Like the last 2 I put a trip together about 3 days before going... Woo... I had been to 4 of the 5 parks we planed to go to.. But we ended up finding a 6th one on the way (coasterless) The day started off with me and my friend Rob leaving here at 6.30am and driving all the way to Keansburg NJ getting to the park a little after 12pm where we found my good coaster friend Medusa1861.. Also named Rob. We started at Keansburg.. Then went down to Funtown Pier and Casino Pier... And then off to what was at first our last stop... Fantasy Island... But it wasnt that late and Medusa Rob really wanted to go to Atlantic City and get the Steel Pier credits.. I had them so I didnt really wanna go.. But because we finished all the stuff *I* needed.. I said what the hell and we went down to Steel Pier.. On the way the other Rob shouted out we just drove past some rides.. So I pulled a U-Turn and we drove back to find out what it was.. It was some Family Fun Center place with a few rides.. But no coaster.. But it was still a neat find.. After that we ended up getting into Atlantic City and did Steel Pier and such.. And then I drove Medusa Rob home back in northern NJ... And finished my drive home with the other Rob getting home around 4am.. After not being killed in a deathy thunder storm we ran into on the Mass Pike. Yay photos..... (Crazy Mouse POV - UNLOCKED! - ) And one last photo from Atlantic City to end my TR.... 2 Floor Merry-Go-Round Ewww.. Diskos.. Been on like 6 and still hate them. Big Wheel. Sling Shot. I had been told it was removed... But uh.. I guess it hasnt. Oh and look.. The kiddie coaster is still here.. Watch the POV and you will see why!! And it still is When I rode it last year... It became my favorite Rev mouse. CRAZY MOUSE! Oh.. And look.... A MOSER SPRING!!! Eh.. They didnt look that fast so I skipped them. yay Flying bobs Tilt-A-Whirl And we made it.. Woo.. Steel Pier! And a few gokart tracks... But sadly no coaster. They also had EuroBungees More kiddie rides.. Weee More Moser Springs! more bike rides.. Also closed. But unlike the kinda Funtown has this type doesnt loop. On the way to Steel Pier we passed this place.. Called Eagleswood. Well.. After we got off.. Medusa Rob got me to go to Steel Pier as it was only a few miles away.. Uh. Yeah....... Wheel POV! Ewwww LOL! Overview of the park. Fantasy Island also had this odd 2 row Moser Spring ride. Bee Bee rides make me LOL I was sooo happy I got a new credit.. That I stuck my head in a trash can! Coolest signs ever! best.scrambler.ever It started off wicked slow.. But every 10 seconds or so the speed would kick up.. Until it was flying! Woo! #484 (Yeah.. I count power's deal with it) Last credit of the trip... And most likely my last new credit for the year... Once the park opened.. the 3 of us ran to the Dragon and got the first ride of the day!11!!1! Hmm... I hope I can ride. For some reason they dont open till 6pm.. So we had to wait a bit for the rides to open. So after about an hours drive... We got to Fantasy Island.. Woo "last" park of the trip. And before we left for Fantasy Island.. We rode the Gravatron Rob and.. Uh.. Rob yay for the deathy mouse. I like this one better than the one at Casino.. But Medusa Rob says Casinos is better. Big Wheel They had some of the Looping Bike things.. but they were closed. lol. I really like the ride for some reason. It was Robs 5th looping coaster (He just started dong coasters this year) Funtown is all about the Looping Coaster! The spider got moved from the last time I was here.. But still closed.. Like the last time. None of us rode it because 2 of us had the credit. Funtown Family Coaster HOLY CRAP! A Chaos... WITH PEOPLE ON IT! Credit I didnt try for in 05... Credit I still didnt try for in 07 Also looks like the Sling Shot that used to be at Casino ended up here.. And me and Medusa Rob rode it.. Woo They have a skycoaster now! (Didnt have it in 05) Right down the boardwalk from Casino Pier is Funtown Pier.. The next stop on out trip. Hot Tamale doesnt have blue track anymore.... But it still has its cool train! Hmm.. Guess we arnt going on the Rock-O-Plane.... Back in 2005 StarJet was my #1 NJ coaster.. And still was until El Toro... But now the park uses the trims on it.. And they use them hard (But its still a fun ride) Photo for Stitch The ""INDOOR"" area isnt even themed.. OR in the dark! Pirates Hideaway... #483 The next stop on our trip was Casino Pier.. Home to this crappy new credit... Second to worst credit I got this year.. Only being beat by Baco... And one last photo from Keansburg... Woo... Mmmm.. .And an old school Loop-O-Plane Holy crap! A Chaos!! New for 07 ride... Dont think we ever saw it run. Maybe thats because we only saw like 8 people in the park. Photo for PKIDelirium..... Credit #482 Oh wait... Things still dont look that good for it... Wildcat.... Last time I was here it was SBNO. Keansburg might just have the best S&S DS ever... And you get 2 cycles as 1 ride. The 2 Robs! Weeee After being turned down from it in 2005.. I was able to get the Keansburg kiddie credit! (#481) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 So you probably drove right past me when leaving Fantasy Island. I work at the Wendy's on Route 72 in Manahawkin. Looks like you had a good time! I haven't been to Fantasy Island for the rides in a while, just the pop-a-ball arcade games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa1861 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 So, since no one cares about the person who has only 30 posts on this forum. (I do read it a lot, it's more reliable than screamscape!) Well Here's James' TR from a different perspective. Ok, So Friday, 12:15 after walking around Keansburg back and forth, James finally arrives. First we hit up Sea Sepent and don't get denied.. because.. I'm from Jersey.. I got connections. The ride was running kind of slow, I didn't get all the airtime i remember. Wildcat, Ran into the ride-op that reminds me of a poor Bon Jovi (sorry about having no picture). Then for some strange reason the tourists from Mass. want to visit keansburg beach. Luckily we didn't step on any needles on the way. Afterwards I lead them to the Hazlet Burger King, where i got us all free food, well, Rob and James freee drinks, I ate the food. See, New Jersians have connections! Then the rest is classified... It was a lot of gossip.. and listening to techno... And extra credits. My #s 108-#111 At Steel Pier. I kind of got confused by the coaster's theming...Dinosaurs..in New Jersey? 1.5 hours later... Hippo is cheating on me with James.. or Hippo was cheating on James with me. Either way, I'm sad James is just "acting happy" because this is not the superior Mouse in Seaside.. Exit 82 on the GSP While James and Taco were in the Gravitron, I went on a date with Hippo. I think we're ready to take it one step further Attention! James rides his 483rd coaster! Congratulate me. Dusa and Taco* did. *Taco is other Rob "I'm not too sure about this water..." "Hold on, I need to get this really good picture of Double Shot" So THAT is the "got crabs?" stand.. And it is at Keansburg. And the sign is because everyone in Keansburg DOES have crabs(minus 3 people).. Not that good kind. The "other photo" that you see me taking from above.. err below. And yes, James/emo boy/ Canobie fan etc. IS feeling the power if you catch my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Z Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Dude , Ive been to that Wendy's and it sucked. They always seem to be out of Dr. Pepper when I go! Nice trip Reports guys! Wildcat was my Final credit in NJ and I was also glad it was open when I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 lol.. As far as credits in NJ go.. I think I have them all but the Batman side of Chiller.. the kiddie coaster in Ocean City at GWP (it was closed when I went) and Bubbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa1861 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Everyone keeps forgetting..Dragon Coaster at Funtown Pier. Does it still count? Or because none of us can actually fit on the ride.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 That Moser tower at Fantasy Island is great for a kiddie ride. You get 12 drops a cycle and in the middle of the car, I got that stomach dropping feeling on each drop. Too bad the pricing sucks, $3.75 for the Merry Go Round?! (and basically all of the non kiddie rides) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
