pkd freak Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Even though there was an overcast all day, the rain did hold up. I think the weather kept down the crowds. Today was a good day to start off my '09 season. Ride list from beginning to end. -Lockness Monster -Alpengiest -Griffon -DarkKastle -Big Bad Wolf -Battering Ram WOW, that does not seem like much at all... but trust me, I had a day full. ...Too bad I wasn't able to get any shots of Sesame St. Hope this was legal, lol. There she goes, im getting chills already. Waiting in line for my Fun Pass. I can only imagine how this is going to look come late spring and summer. Crowds were very low today. WHAT IS THIS I SEE! I thought that was GRIFFON! She stands Tall and Proud. First ride/coaster for the '09 season. Awwww, train 3 all quite and lonely. I just love Nessie. Hey! Where is she going, COME BACK! Only if I can ever catch the 2 train moment. 3 MONSTERS! I just had to see how good my optics were in my new camera. Flying like a bird. So upset, I pushed the buton too soon on this pic. Everyone's favorite spot in the park, lol. THE SMOKEHOUSE! Is this "tape" I see on the net? Lonely. But, Aplie wasne't. Random. I wonder what's in those Griffon "buckets". This was the shortest time I ever stood in line for DarkKastle. The beauty. I told ya it was short. Now, has this always had double seating? Very interesting. She turns 25 this year. Rode in the first seat, far most my best ride of the day. Classic shot. "Raises to the sun on Apollo's Chariot" Nice & Lonely.
coastergirl26 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Hey Nessie was my first coaster of 09 too, on March 22nd!! Great report thanks for the pics makes me want to go back right now, but it wont be long. Trappers omg they have the best food I have ever tasted in my life. Got the sampler platter even tho I only ate half of it, my eyes were ALOT bigger than my stomach.
cfc Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I was there for a few hours yesterday afternoon, and it was bustling, but not outrageously busy (DarKastle was using the switchbacks later in the day). They were testing the new Forest of Fun stuff--the Elmo "frog hopper" was bouncing around, and there were actual people on Grover's Alpine Express. Still doing a bit of concrete work on one attraction (I think it was Oscar's Yucky Woods) though. The new stuffed churros are pretty good, by the way.
atem122 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I may live near sfmm, but those rides make me jealous, great ptr
BuschSchoe Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 They were testing the new Forest of Fun stuff--the Elmo "frog hopper" was bouncing around, I noticed them testing that as well when I was leaving the park at around 4 last night.
Speeddeamon128 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Nice TR. I was hoping I could go to BGE's opening day but I couldn't get off work so I'm going April 13 during my Spring Break.
Thelegendarymatthew Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 ^mabey i'll see you there Nice PTR, I liked the "classic shot" a lot. Oh yeah, sorry you didn't get the Griffon picture.
pkd freak Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Pix has been resized. Hope they came out better than before.
sam06pr Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Nice TR...To answer the question of what is on the buckets on Griffon, Those are platforms in case of evacuate
netdvn Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Beautiful pics! Its really cool to see the park when the trees are bare. I did not get my Fun Card this year, so I won't be able to visit.
