dammie16@vt.edu Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Ok so Friday was fall break from VT so me and my friend Renee decided to hit up some Howl-O-Scream!! I had never been to a Halloween event and she had never been to the park so it fit perfectly!! As well as that I hit number 100!!!! Griffon was my centennial coaster and also my first V-Drop coaster. It lived up to my expectations and I was very happy with it however Alpengeist is still my number 1 at the park. As for the Howl-O-Scream, I was impressed with it though I know that I'm not an expert and I also know there are better ones I enjoyed myself and that's what matters! I am not jumpy and only did so once in all the mazes however I get absolute pleasure from the agony of others so I positioned myself between screamers so I still enjoyed the maze lol In order I liked 1. Masquerage 2. Wicked Woods 3. Deadtime Stories 4. Curse of Pompeii 5. Tormented Tales My favorite scare zone was the werewolves because they had some great spots! Ok so after the park we tripped down to the Outer Banks to visit a brew-thru! Yes we drove 6 extra hours for a drive thru beer store...who wouldn't come on! It turns out Kittyhawk is down there too so we hit up the memorial and then headed home. So enjoy the pictures and hopefully the captions!! P.S. Some photos are Renee's as well so here's the credit due to her! Arg too many attachments limit reach hold on for round two folks I'm working on it right now! This is one big series where I followed the car around so no captions for a while yay! Ok so I got no picture of the sign and only rapid fire so strap in folks! Pretty isn't it? Rapid fire of me being pooped by a tree Irish stilts and pumpkin thingy... Bald Eagle Break time To paraphrase Natatomic, "It is an orgy of coaster in there." My second favorite rapid fire Le empty Immelman rapid fire Loop Wait your turn Griffon sheesh My favorite here and #3 overall! That's a lotta horse...mmmmm I got some popsicles in my basement... Yay for Barry Sorta yay for me, YAY for Renee Happy pumpkin train! YAY, # 4 on my list...for this park. NOOOOOOOO...wait this coffen is too short I'm outta here... Did she make it in time!?!? He got me! Growl I love this ride, but need to ride Spidey again to get in on that debate See even he is smiling Read carefully Disney, "Happiest place on Earth!" I treated it to a rapid fire regardless My least favorite in the park I feel like I've seen this picture before..... Rhine river cruise! Best river ever! Barbershop Pirates woot! Empty Rapids Rapid fire time Unfortunately it as running a little slow and the trim was on really hard, but still a good ride. Helix!! Number 3 for me in the park Time for a coaster! Are you single? Me too! Ghosts in teh trees! Call the ghostbusters...Sorry I had to ::shame:: As was this, fine print says handle with care ::doublesnicker:: This was too good to resist It's mutha effin' pirates in a barrel! Wasn't quite sure what was going on here Piratical Booty! Piratical Pimpin' Michael Jackson's treasure box, watch out little girl you're being Rick Rolled!! YAR! Renee is pretending like she isn't short by pretending she could reach the ghost They introduced new shiny tickets, they are impossible to replicate!! Nice backdrop to distract you from your wallet being eaten to park! It is not well known that this was imported from the center of Europe Noted! We were here in Germany it was not crowded yet Couldn't resist a picture of myself in the window! Thar she blows!!! With my new time machine though we got there at 11 AM Friday with one mouse scroll wheel turn!! 6:30PM here we come!! Only 4 hours to go!! We are so exited to leave!!

dammie16@vt.edu Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Ok Round two is here! Thanks for reading and suffering through the non-coaster stuff if you did! HAHAHA caught She was so happy! Since we drove so far just to visit they gave Renee free shot glasses! Last but not least is the drive-thru beer store, sounds like a very TPR kind of place lol And a bronze dome All the foils coming up for those interested! Kittyhawk memorial! Yes we did say the beer store was the reason for our visit! AHAHAHAHAHAHA, I bought something for my cats here.... "Hi, I need you to go online and get me directions to Kitty Hawk Kites, I can't find the store..." It may look like nemo but it has spinning fan blades of death on the back! Renee approves!! WOOT! REALLY cus I thought that the water on both sides of a 400 yard island wouldn't mess with the roads! Nice houses... Nice scenery... Howl-O-Scream!!! Oh wait nevermind... then I found out it was the name of the town and it became hilarious! I thought this was funny... Crossing to the outer banks "I want chicken dammit!" And innuendo'd pictures! Then with phallic food... What better way to pop my Sonic cherry... OMG JOY! Nuther YAY! YAY Pretty sky! So this is a fire triangle and the last BGE picture, if you're here for coasters only skip the rest! This is it on maze theming It did give the best laugh too when a scare actor jumped at a girl and proclaimed, "WAKA WAKA WAKA DO DO YEH" and she still screamed lol This was my favorite but I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say why. Unfortunately I got a picture of two mazes lol oops... Scare Harvesters.... Last and my favorite rapid fire, two things to watch 1. The cool effect of the water in rapid fire 2. The kid getting owned by the water lol So much airtime I loved it Continuing rapid fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dammie16@vt.edu Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Nice TR! I hope you had more things planned for OBX than just hitting up a Brew-Thru. $18 for a 12-pack is insane! This is the perfect time to hit the Banks, though: no crowds and usually nice weather. BTW, go Hokies! We actually didn't lol. She wanted a shirt so we went, we didn't buy any beer because of the prices so we were smart lol Fortunately Kittyhawk was there so we ended up with more to do in OBX.

OBXcoasterman Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 What the hell? Somebody drove down here just to get Brew Thru shirts. Its okay, I used to drive from the OBX to BGE from here to put Alpie through her paces once a week. If anyone would like a brew thru shirt or photos from the OBX just let me know, I live here.
