kumba830 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Ok... Hearing that Viper is running really bad from everyone really stinks! I mean It was running the best it ever had this opening weekend! Could it just need a good Oiling? I'm just hoping it won't run like this the rest of the year!

coasterdude5 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 When did Viper start sucking? But last time I rode it was in October of 2005 so what do I know. Nice pictures, I miss this park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumba830 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 ^ The past few weeks. Which really doesn't make sense because I don't see how a rides performance can go down hill so quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 A modern park with a Condor and Jumbo Jet...wow. I need to go there. Does the Condor still run fast enough that the cars swing out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandaman Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 *1week1week1week* Can it be said that Viper on a bad day is still better than Mean Streak on any day? My wood coaster credits are quite limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Mean Streak on its best day is still worse than jumping off the Sears Tower onto a bicycle with no seat.. Viper is better than that. Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expeditioneverestfan Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 So what rides did you really ride, not just take pictures of? Did you use the Q-bot? I'm going up with three friends on July 7 and I want to get on idea of how much we can get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumba830 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 ^ photos from trips were I don't really keep track of my day at the park But I'll try my best to remember! We got on all of the coaster except Superman and V2. As well as re riding a few of the older rides(Eagle, Demon, Whizzer), and a ton of flats! But remember...When we could have been riding coasters the first 2 hours my friends neck was in hell and we rode things like the train and worked out way up trough the day. Also. I have never used the flash pass before, because I simply haven't had the need to! If you want to be sure you get on all the rides I suggest you get a regular flash ass and ride the rides with a smaller wait. While you are waiting for your time on a larger coaster you reserved to be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yeah, I've never used the Q-bots, because I usually going on weekdays, and days when its supposed to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumba830 Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 So June 6th was a huge day for me. I had been anticipating this day for quite some time as I would finally get to go to SFGAm with Cameron as well as meet some other TPR peeps! It was bloody crowded that day, but we had our new crush The Q-bot Gold! This nifty little device never had us waiting longer than 20 minutes the entire day!(You also get to laugh as you pass the people waiting in line) That day was full of laughs and I can't say thanks enough to Cameron, Dan, and JoJo for an awesome day! Photos! It was an awesome day. I had a great time with you guys and cant wait to see you all again! Long exposure and I captured a full swing! small exposure... Do not stand erect Whizzer ...was as crazy as this photo! it look nice But the Whizzer night ride we did later...Was AMAZING Night ride on bull "Oh...That should be a good shot" ...Yes it is. sun...set We ate more food...AND WE SAW SQUIRRELS! So we reserved two rides on Batty because it is awesome! Woo hoo! Batman is running (It was down all morning) Cameron took this... I'm not sure if he was referring to me being near the danger sign..Or if i was the danger! art Red train owns! That's right... Because JoJo is contained behind that fence...She will corrupt anyone she meets! Yum eagle... It was running awesome! (But not as awesome as the curly mustache dude!) yummy.. Dan took quite the liking to Whizzer! Seems like me and Cam have recruited another cult member! More photos of Whizzer, because it's a CLASSIC! Like a Model-T! And that's important! See that light... Its a reflection off of a UFO! So good! It was packed...But it was ok because we were standing erect. There's that sexy Aussie! Random chalk drawing V2....Cameron is in love...I just don't get it! Only bummer was that we weren't allowed to pick our row (No back seat ejector:( ...) When we got off the train we did stuff... then we got a bite to eat. Plus we reserved Demon for after. Money shot TAKE THE TUNNEL! I miss the waterfall... But the flaming black train makes up for it! Arrow looper love! You get some decent angles on the train! Next since the others had been riding all morning we decided to to take a break on the train. Q-bot = Dirty looks from others Pole Before we got on Drop we had reserved Bull.. Guess what we could ride after we got off? That right Bull! So when the finally got there we hopped on and Dan took the plunge... He liked it alot! Just talking photos while I wait for them to show up.... Then down... You go up... Look over there! The gang waiting to meet me and Dan is about to piss his pants!

CorkscrewFoley Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Nice pics, and those eta cups looks really nice. I have must say that the demon's trains look sexy, not Intamin sexy, but a girl in glasses hot (which I like alot). Second, what is it with the over sized handlebars on Bemon? Viper at SFMM has them too. Shame about Viper though, I've been reading nothing but positive reviews about it--until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo19799 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 It was an awesome day. I had a great time with you guys and cant wait to see you all again! Hopefully I didn't corrupt you too much. Am I that dangerous though? It was really hard to focus at work today after having so much fun yesterday. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumba830 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Oh you only corrupted me a little bit. Yeah all I can think about today was how much fun yesterday was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 It was packed...But it was ok because we were standing erect. In keeping with Iron Wolf jokes... L-Mayo! Had no idea you got a full-swing shot of Revolution; I totally forgot to set my long-shutter beyond 2 seconds. Great tilts on some of the pics, too!

CreditCrazy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Very nice pictures, seems like it won't be long before there's a SFGAm-Bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumba830 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 ^ Oh.. I so hope that happens next year (Ya hear that Robb!). Night time ERT on Whizzer with the lights turned off... DROOL! Well that might be getting a bit carried away, but a guy can dream can't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo19799 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm interested in a TPR midwest bash. Maybe those of us that live in the area should have our own meet up. It seems like a majority of us already have a pass anyway. Besides, I'm always game for shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Will Elissa Bingo be replaced by Sexy Countdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 ^NOTHING CAN REPLACE ELISSA BINGO!!! On a slightly related topic, the 2009 Elissa Bingo Instructional Video is DONE. Hopefully it will amuse. We'll see in a few days on the Deep South trip! And on topic, I look forward to visiting SFGAm again some day. I really liked that park. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
