Hikaru-chan Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I went to my home park today, and mostly every other Wednesday during the summer. I'm not one for many words so on to the photos. I got it all backwards Someones very happy back there Tossing goodness Why? Why did you have to bruise me so! I may have forgotten the golden rule but why so rough? Intense pretzel anyone? Here he comes to save the day! This guy needs a paint job too. Do I have to say it? Okay, I took the tunnel! The big man and his crew were working great today, even with the trains little(well really big time consuming) problem My weakness, knocking the crap out of some kid or old person Is this an acceptable or unacceptable amount of wetness? For all you rapids nerds Just in case you wanted to know what to sign along Cut out they have to greet you before you go in I love the monster update, I'm afraid that I haven't yet perfected my face yet though Speaking of the drive-in, it's closed due to roof damage from a storm. Poor Mindbender always gets the worse ads to pimp, the whole train has an ugly thing with hair stuff plastered to it. Batman badly needs a paint job. Batman's tomb stone??? Horrible faded sign, something I hope the park will fix soon, and the other faded signs too. I must say I love this sign Plaza thing at the front Scorcher's lift Scorcher's loop Back end of Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleshot Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 nice pictures! I wish I could have experienced all the excitement! Your right... Batman desperately needs a paint job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskater132 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I love SFoG. Especially for their Gotham City. Best. Themed. Batman. Great TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Sickens me to see Mindbender treated in such a way. Especially after those horrid NASCAR covers the other year... Damn Tony Stewart! He stole my last row seat on Millennium Force TWICE today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferfish Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Did they seriously stamp an ad on the side of Mindbender's beautiful trains? If so that makes me so mad. I'll have to try tearing some of it off when I go back next month. Parks need to have respect for history! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 ^ Who gives a shit about history if the company goes under due to lack of money I totally didn't know part of the song, but I guess I'm glad to read that lots of us were screwing it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrock Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hey, I like that first picture of Batman. It's an angle I am not used to seeing because of how the ride is placed at Magic Mountain, my home park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikaru-chan Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Wow, thanks for the response guys, not bad for my first PTR I guess. 40 photos out of 136 isn't bad, I guess. Did they seriously stamp an ad on the side of Mindbender's beautiful trains? If so that makes me so mad. I'll have to try tearing some of it off when I go back next month. Parks need to have respect for history! I didn't get to ride due to a extremely long line, which is strange for two train op.. But what I saw from the break run is on the side of all the cars is a image of a guys arm with the shampoo in his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuschSchoe Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I like how Batman is painted black at Six Flags Over Georgia. I don't think the yellow paintjob looks that great on the Batmans at Six Flags Great Adventure and Great America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Ahh always great to see Goliath, Thunder River, and Skull Island. Thank you for the TR shots and for thinking of me. Much appreciated. If I can get over that way one weekend, we'll have to meet up. Enjoyed the TR and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Nice pics, but I have to ask if there's more to come, I was hoping to see some of Mindbender, or is she difficult to photograph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikaru-chan Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 She is quite difficult to photograph but I have some photos from halloween. What the! How did this get so faded! Nerd shot again Sorry for the fuzz ACE plaque if you ever wondered what it said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks for more pics. I hope you're not offended that I asked why there weren't any Mindbender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikaru-chan Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm not offended at all, the pictures I got to take were not the best so I didn't post them. The best way to take photos of Mindbender is in the queue, station and outside the park, in my opinion at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Maybe my eyes are deceiving me, but it looks like Goliath could use a new coat of paint already. And considering the ride's only 4 years old, that's pretty bad if it's faded that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikaru-chan Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 I had the off season blues so I took another look at these old photos and decided to share. The photos may seem a little fuzzy due to the weather and my camera's overall crapy photo taking. The End! Werid shot from our car Stupid mist Sliding through the ear of a skull? Miss you too! Fail? I miss your sister/brother! Judge Roy Owwwwwww! Stupid fence On a mission from god to ride the bat Even with the yellow ugliness, the bat still delivers After Titan the best ride in the park Much cooler than SFoG's mine train If only I had developed my drop tower fever earlier Not so great as Mindbender, at least to me Was this popular at the park? One of B&M's helixes of awesomeness Random theming in Titan's queue Is it strange that I liked this ride? Stupid pricey parking Judge Roy Scream across the lake from the entrance I wish that the weather didn't seem so content to rain on my parade!

themeparkman25 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 One of B&M's helixes of awesomeness Titan was actually made by Giovanola not B&M. Still though, great update! Looks like a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Awesome TR, I love the track of Mindbender and Shockwave, it makes me think that Intamin and Schwarakopf had an awesome baby. All of these TRs are really good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
