Vffreak07 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hey, I saw JZ's thread, and since I'm going to Valleyfair quite a few times this spring, summer, and fall, I decided I'd make one for Valleyfair. I actually went to Valleyfair today in the snowy nearly freezing temperatures (yes in April. . . ) to get my season pass processed! Here are some pics. (Any and all updates can all also be found over at Valleyfairzone) Well, it was snowing and almost freezing, but I got my season pass processed, and I got a couple snapshots of what's goin on around the park! (Outside of it at least) Lets get on with the pics! (It was snowing so they aren't that good of quality) *Pics above the captions* Ahhh it's been too long! It was pretty crowded today. . .

Team Thriller Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Valleyfair is underrated IMO. It's quality is as good as most Six Flags parks that get more attention. Can't wait for more updates. --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Nicky Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Great Start. I may be able to contribute a few photos from one of my many visits this summer. I was acctually going to go get may pass processed today, but then it started snowing and I wanted to do a little walking around, but not in the cold. Maybe I'll run into you on May 10th.

coolhandluke Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 ^^How do you have an advantage? You live in Texas, he lives in Minnesota (or damn close).

Sticky Nicky Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I was also there today. I want to say that even though it was raining most of the day, every ride that was open stayed open. Overall Wild Thing-3 Renegade-2 Corkscrew-3 High Roller-2 Excalibur-2 Mad Mouse-1 (the ride opened around one and closed again around two, so it was open at one point today) Chaos-3 Enterprise-1 Steel Venom-4 PT-B-1 PT-R-1 Xtreme Swing-1 Flume-1 Overall, it was a great day even though it was pouring most of the time.

Vffreak07 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 I really am liking my challenge park upgrade. It's already payed for itself, and I plan to ride ripcord another 30-40 times during the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyblakbelt Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Nice TR so far. The thing I like about Valleyfair is it does not have much of the bloodlines of the other CF parks (besides the trashcans). Even if I don't have a season pass for 2008, it can be sure that I will be there this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I agree! Hahahaha. Here are the dates I plan to go to the fair again, so stay tuned! June 6th (End of the year field trip) June 12th (Just to go) Some other time in late June Early July July 25th (Coaster Craze) And then after that I'll be leaving for me East Coast(er) trip (Not TPR) with my dad so I won't be updating for a while.

holyblakbelt Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Is it me or is the new VF commercial really bad in quality? I mean they don't just have the rides from the park, but also from Knott's, Cedar Point, and maybe Dorney (yeah, I should've expected it). But I'm liking the improvements though.

TheRapidsNerd Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Whenever I get up to MN for MOA & WPOA, VF WWC & TC are big 10-4s. VFFreak, that offer still good for a meet up? Dunno just when, thinking in the next year or 2. 10 bucks says you tilted your head to look at that pic. Only slightly. Only slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Just got back from MN. Derek and I hit up VF yesterday. Renegade is still awesome, Excalibur still sucks. Compared to Paul and my visit last year, there were a bunch of changes. The Skycrapper removal caught me by surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Yeah I think it caught all of us by surprise. I'm going again day after tomorrow so expect more pics!

holyblakbelt Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 ^^ How can't you hate Excalibur? I think it holds a grudge against me by hurting me every time I ride it. It should burn to the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Because it's amazing & it's unique! I love it! If they burn it down. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Well, this will be on the longer side so get your reading glasses on! So I went to the park yesterday from 9:30-10 (ERT-Close). Got there to see a line of about 20 people waiting to get in, so being the cool season pass holder I am, I barged through, and walked right in. Taking a couple pics on my way to Xtreme Swing & Wild Thing, I didn't see anyone. No security, no workers, nobody! Kinda similar to walking to the front of the park after Coaster Craze. . . So I quietly walked over to Xtreme Swing, looking around saw no one there! Thinking to myself "Okay was ERT another day?" 3 ride ops walk out of the booth and let me in. 4 rides all to myself! Very fun, but again kinda eerie seeing nobody through-out the whole park. So after 4 good rides on XS, I headed over to Wild Thing! At least there were ride ops here, but again nobody else was there. . . I got 4 rides on that, and as soon as I headed towards the exit after the 4th ride, I heard the national anthem playing, so I headed over to Power Tower. I got 2 rides on red, and one ride on blue. After that, I was kinda hungry so I decided to go over to Coasters. I asked for a bacon cheeseburger with fries, but I got a cheeseburger with an onion ring in it, with fries. Oh well. Free onion ring! After Coasters I decided that since I had the whole day to myself I'd hop on over to the Hi-Test Arcade. So I go in, break a doller, go over to the game that drops the ball down the tube into the holes, and first try, JACKPOT! 328 or 329 tickets! (I can't remember exactly how many) So with my mass amount of tickets and little kids watching going googley-eyed over how many tickets I had, I cashed in and got a harmonica! Okay so think about this quick, if you're at Valleyfair, and you have all day to do anything, what would you do? I'll answer that later. So after I won stuff, I decided to head over to High Roller. Got the way back seat on that, even though I had to walk way back to get to it (They didn't have their stopping stars on duty yesterday) After that I headed over to the Ferris Wheel to get a ride in on that, and that was great. So after Ferris Wheel, I headed all the way back to Mad Mouse to get a ride on that. I got on, and was paired with a family of 3. The mom & dad sat in back, and the daughter sat next to me. After going up the lift hill I look over, and the girl is staring at me. I'm like "Okay. . . " during the whole ride, she's just staring at me. Creepiest thing of the day. After the ride was over, I quickly left, and headed back to Renegade, which had about a 0 minute line which was nice. After that, headed even further back to Excalibur, and because I wanted far back car, I had to wait a cycle. (Yes. . . Excalibur had a longer line than Renegade) Then I decided to head back over to Wild Thing. Now back to my harmonica story. . . So on the lift of Wild Thing, nobody was really on the ride except for maybe 10 other people. So I decided, hey why don't I bring out my harmonica? So I started playing! Very fun & funny. Got a lot of laughs. But I didn't have it out for more than a minute remember no loose articles are permitted on rides. After Wild Thing, I felt like riding Ripcord, so I headed to the front of the park. Signed up for a time, got on, rode it, and had a nice convo with the ride ops, got off. Then I thought to myself, "Hey that was fun! I wanna do it again!" so I signed up for another time. While suiting up, I talked to the girl who was on bird named Jenni(fer). She said the most rides on Ripcord in 1 day was 14. Me being the nut I am, thought to myself "Psh that's lame. . . I could go for 20", so I did. It was great talking to the ride ops, getting to know the ropes of the ride & such. Later, after ride 9, it started clouding over, and it was closed due to wind & lighting. I thought it was pass quick (it passed after about a half hour), so I waited it out. After only a minute of being down, 3 drunk guys from Duluth came up and started making conversation with the whole crew in the hut. VERY funny. I also learned that Anisha, (another Ripcord ride op) hated Valleyfair and that she was quitting next week. I told her to stick it out til August but she refused and referred to the park as Valleyf**k. Oh well. So after the ride re-opened, I got in a couple more rides, and made friends/conersation with about every person who rode it. It's great to see how friendly most people are at the park. I constantly got stared/pointed at while I was up there, and then after, they would all come up to me and flood me with questions about it. My funniest experience with the ride was after number 12, two girls were riding next, so I did my little Q&A period. "Have you been on this before?", "Are you scared?" etc. . . So I was up after the two girls rode, and so sitting on the platform, the first girl who looked to be my age (15+) looked to be like she was having a heart attack. I asked "Did you like it?" and she responded "NO! IT WAS TERRIFYING!" I just laughed. Then she said "Are you going on this again?!" And Jenni told her like she told everyone else that went "Yeah this is gonna be his 13th time today." and the girl screams "ARE YOU F**KING ON CRACK?!" I burst out laughing and almost fell of the platform. So anyways, I went back to grab some dinner, then came back, and got rides 14-20 in. It was really great talking to the crew and getting to know stuff about the park & such. Anyways, I went back to Wild Thing, got 2 rides on that, then came back to Ripcord hoping to get another ride in before I left, but Eric said that they were all booked. Oh darn. . . So I got front row seat on Steel Venom and went home. Hilarious, and really fun day! Okay, so now that you've waisted probably 10-20 minutes, let's get onto the pictures! Oh wait. . . Ride count time! Power Tower Red -:- 2 Power Tower Blue -:- 1 Wild Thing -:- 5 Xtreme Swing -:- 4 High Roller -:- 1 Excalibur -:- 1 Renegade -:- 1 Flume -:- 1 Ferris Wheel -:- 1 Bumper Cars -:- 4 Steel Venom -:- 2 Ripcord -:- 20 Go Karts -:- 4 Chipper Lowell Experience -:- 1 Okay now onto the pics! __________________________________________________________ *Pics are above captions, captions are below pics* Very crowded. . . Good morning Plaza Shopper. Grabbed a quick shot of Scrambler on my way to ERT Xtreme Swizzle. Yep. Wild Thang. SuperCat looks way cool at night. Alrighty so for the first time, I tried to do some artsy shots, so I'll alert you before an artsy shot, such as this one of Xtreme Swing. Xtreme Swing againnnnn. Wild Thang testing/ghost riding. Coney Cornair. Funny Stuff! FAILED ARTSY SHOT ALERT!!1 Railroad crossing watch out for cars, try to spell that with out any r's. These were scattered around the park. Yay for saving the world! What a tank. Umm. . . hell yes. It's ERT! For all you brake enthusiasts! FAILED ARTSY SHOT ALERT!!1 Where'd the water go? Peek A Boo! I can. . . stop now. When you're on Wild Thing, it does not look like a 60-70 ft. difference. Another failed amazing shot. . . Gah I need a new camera. Corkscrewy. ARTSY SHOT ALERT! FAILED ARTSY SHOT ALERT!!1 Honestly, I always thought this was "Kidworkz" It all starts here. Told ya it was crowded. Random Renegade theming. . . For all you brake enthusiasts part deux!

It all um. . . yeah this wasn't really open.. If you could fit 3 ACE members in that tub, now THAT would be a site to see. Semi Artsy? Nah. . . Yay! I found a penny in my shoe after I took this picture. Does anyone else find the name slightly disturbing? Sucky camera. I wanted to. . . Woah. Power Tower = Awesome. Haha so Anisha, the girl who is quitting next week has never ridden this! Back half of the park. VERY ARTSY SHOT ALERT! Or that leaf just got in the way. . . I just didn't wanna get wet. Props for the cool sign though! Replacing Skyscraper. . . A midget house. 3,2,1, LAUNCH! Somebody got 11 by the end of the day. Most of the park. Heh. Signature shot. Chippaaa Solid Brass "Yeah we call Steel Venom, VENOM!" You make the Go Karts sing. "We call the Go Karts, TRACK" That car was FAST. ARTSY SHOT ALERT! Aw no it's storming over. Well then lets take pics of Ripcord! ARTSY SHOT ALERT! Tree got in the way I swear. . . Roof & Venom. Failed Shot. Pathetic attempt at hiding Skyscraper's leftovers. Sunset! Enterprize Tilt head.

Vffreak07 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hey everyone! This was from the 25th, and I started my road trip the day after so I didn't find the time to post this til now. Anyways, Coaster Craze this year was alright. I had a great time hanging out with Taylor (Valleyfair) for most of the day, and it was nice to meet r78 & Jason (from Coaster Community) as well as many more people! The behind the scenes tour of Renegade was amazing, there was haunt construction, (Couldn't get pictures due to restrictions on picture taking) as well as 2009 construction! I don't wanna type a whole lot more so lets get onto the pictures! Speaking of pictures, I didn't get too many due to the fact that I was taking tons of footage for a VFZ Video, and so my camera ran out of battery. Anyways, here are the pictures I got! Oh also, I'd like to thank Rachel Onken & Valleyfair for giving me and those two other guys permission & the opportunity to go behind the scenes with Renegade! Thanks much! *Picture* Caption Below Picture _________________ I'm gonna go backwards because I'm waiting for the first of the pictures to load, so yeah enjoy! Flshhhhhhhhh. Even bystanders got wet so I had to stand back for this one! FLAGS! Same one as above FLAGS! Same one as above On the way back from the tour! New angle of High Roller! Wow. You guys don't even know how amazing renegade looks from back there! Close up! Couldn't get the whole train in so I just got half. Oh wait whole I guess. Overbank? I like this one The whole turnaround! The drop Different angle. It really is amazing to look at it from here. You guys will see some footage on the VFZ video I'm making! *Tilt Head* They had these random Chain Dogs/Spikes (The name of them escapes me at the moment) laying around, but nobody knew what they were for! No one knew what those steel things were either! Oh well. Still a good looking shot! Weeee it was grand watching the trains fly through here. *Tilt Head* Wooosh. It sure flies by! I really love this shot. Whole train! The lift I wish it was a 90, but I'm satisfied! From the dirt road Whole ride basically. . . During Q&A Prize Drawing! I won 4 shot glasses! Decent Show, same show everytime, but still it's dece. Wild thing. I lost my phone on this, or it fell out rather, and after I got off, it went through a cycle, but I still managed to get it back! It's kinda messed up with the flip part of it, but at least I still have it! Stadium Arcadium Dino's & Sidewinder Marble fountain. Really beautiful picnic area behind Sidewinder. Great for pictures! Small little creek Hydroblaster Leaf & Tower Great place for a haunt I'm tellin ya. . . No thanks. . . I already got 5-10 These things are FUN! No idea why I took this! Generally speaking, it's a good store. Cool shot from straight on! Didn't care to ride this beast today though. Renegade! Got about 15 night rides on this baby. Night ERT was epic. I loved it! Same picture, no train! Entrance to the lift hill So much for morning ERT. . . I remember that sign! The ticket checking/scanning counter Wild Thang from the entrance. Well, Coaster Craze this year was great! I can't wait til next year's. Thanks to all those who came & made it such a fun event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
