PKI Jizzman Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Hey TPR! So, here's my Texas Trip photo trip report. I had soooo much fun! I can't thank Robb and Elissa enough for getting this whole trip together. I am going to be on another trip for sure next year! DAY:0 I got in early Thursday night so I could head over to the park early the next day. I got in late, and headed over to Denny's to meet up with friends Andrew and Erik; and to meet new friends! Like Gary, Wes, and...I forget who else was there at Denny's....it feels like a year ago! Anyways, I headed back to the hotel to meet my room mate for the trip; Luko! Luko is such a great guy. I couldn't have asked for a better room mate! DAY:1 We woke up around 9AM and got breakfast, heading over to SFOT at 9:30am. I'll let the pics do the talking. -Zach So, the first time around I went for the back to see how bad it really is...and wow, it was bad. Godawful. I got beaten up. Then I rode in the front and it was pretty fun, I liked it. But holy hell....never again in the back. Ouch. Please refurb this ride! More to come soon! It's very nice looking, very pretty... Texas Giant looming overhead.. Station. It was a fun little dark ride. I liked it. Upscale Six Flags dark ride? Awesome! Another AWESOME old school Premier! I had no idea it existed. It scared the crap out of me! I LOVED IT. 9/10! Also had GREAT landscaping. Mythbusters! Maybe they're here to check out Boardwalk Bullet too It's Gary and Luko! Where's your tail? I have a trident, so give me some Orbit Gum! SFoT was VERY aware of the heat. There were misters all over the park. Good job!! I wish premier made even bigger versions of this ride. That'd be amazing. Seriously. AWESOME ride. 10/10 Mr. Freeze was VERY impressive. A HUGE surprise. LOVEDDDD it. So good. Tony Hawk is fun...if you get the perfect balance to spin! Titan. This ride was awesome! Mmm....zero g. Judge Judy: The Ride Gary and Andrew are ready to ride! Insert you own gay joke! We were waiting in line for Chute Out; which was only running two parachutes, with one operator. These two hooligans were pushing each other in the swing over on the side. WTF? A fun little ride. I'm glad it was open! Too short, though. BEN! Haha, this dude is hilarious. Paul and Joey? Getting ready for the Chute out. One of the 3 Batmans on the trip. All completely different! This one got second place. First stop, Gotham City! Ah, the first park of the trip...Six Flags over Texas! SFoT was RIGHT across the street! 10 Minutes to walk back and forth. The Texas Rangers and the Dallas Cowboys are right next door! Edited March 7, 2010 by PKI Jizzman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Dude your pics are amazing. It was awesome hanging out with you in SA. Can't wait to see more! Thanks Texas! It was fun hanging out at Whataburger and the parks. Hope to see you on some other trips! This PTR is going to be an ongoing update. Be sure to check out Luko Simlesa's photo tr for all the stuff I didn't take pics of. He did an awesome job covering things! http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=781556#781556 -Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X2coasterfreak Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Very good pictures, your an awesome photographer. It's cool how the Rangers and Cowboys' stadium is right next door. I never new that. Have an amazing rest of the trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Shock Wave update!!!! This coaster was fantastic. I loved the hell outa it. Mindbender? or Shock Wave? I pick Shock Wave. Though it didn't have as pretty as a setting as Mindbender did, or a unique layout....this ride delivered. The airtime was all over the place on INSANE levels. The loops were very strong and forceful. I'll have to get a few more rides on Mindbender for good measure, but for now... Shock Wave reigns supreme! One of my favorite coasters. -Zach And I leave you with my current backround and favorite shot of Shockwave. Enjoy! More to come later! -Jizz Man Hey it's Joey and Paul! Yummm...lift hill. Airtime cliff! Oil Derrick in the backround. Shock Wave: As good as bacon. UGHHH I FEEL LIKE PUDDING Only lap bars?! Anyone catch the transfer track? It starts at rusty metal; then white; blue; and finally....green. That's the paint scheme life cycle of Shock Wave! Lovely old school trains. Like being thrown off a wonderful airtime cliff. Showing age and beauty. 360* loops! The first consecutive looping coaster! Mmm...Shock Wave. It gets even better at night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Wow dude, awesome photos! It seems like we were at SFOT so long ago! I'm getting my credit on the other Mr. Freeze tomorrow and hopefully it will live up to how great the Texas version was. Great job, I can't wait for more updates!

THE ONE Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 ^^ Zach i totally agree on Mr Freeze, I love the one @ SFSTL. I just wish they had picked better colors than Superman red and blue. Overview of Mr Freeze from Boss's station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Awesome Trip Report, and even better pictures! I love the Batman Zero-G-Roll picture alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Its about time you posted your PTR, Zach. I've been waiting ever since you left to see what was going on, but I never saw any updates from the trip at all! I guess there was no wireless in Texas or something.... Anyways, Shockwave looks epic! The only real Schwart's I've been on are Whizzer and SDL, so I haven't expierienced any of his GOOD stuff yet. Can't wait for your SFFT update. Still wondering what you thought about Rattler. -Reon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiSab Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Shock Wave: As good as bacon. I haven't ridden Shock Wave, so I don't know how crazy it is. However, I have to disagree with you there. I don't think anything can match bacon. Except more bacon. Looking forward to the rest. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Awesome pictures Zach! I also loved Shockwave and hated Texas Giant. Great trip report so far. I can't wait to see the rest. Peace Bro! Look forward to riding with you again in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastersrule85 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 You've got a great trip report going. Even though it's almost four hours away, I have to call SFOT my home park. I'm glad to have a coaster like Titan that close to me; it's just such an awesome ride. I'm glad you like Shock Wave. It too is such a great rollercoaster. Great TR and awesome photos!

dino Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Love the shot of Shock Wave's transfer track, almost looks photo shopped. Great TR so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcalicoaster Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 It really is such a wonderful park. Too bad SF doesn't give it near the love it gives SFMM and SFGDV I would say SFOT is every bit on the same level as those two parks but with a lot friendlier crowd. Great photos! I look forward to seeing the rest of your trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Another update! Thanks for the comments everyone. that concludes day 1 and my pictures for SFOT. Thanks for reading! Loved the lights on all the coasters. Thanks so much Robb and Elissa for this AMAZING ERT session! Post Shockwave ERT Pretty lights on Titan! The front of the park looked nice. See? Spain looked so good. Log Flume and Titan's AWESOME lift. This park is BEAUTIFUL at night. Texas Giant looks really cool at night Such a nice park. At night...thanks for putting up with me, Andrew! At dusk... Aw, it's Wes! Hey, it's Gary and Andrew! Oh, who has the curly jew hair? Freeze overview. Golden Qbot balls balls balls balls I found some eggs to go with the Koolaid Jelly! Hey, our hotel! What a fun ride. I nearly blacked out on both helixes. Mmmhm.. Titan was looking pretty Derek just oozing happyness and joy after another beer credit. Let's head back to the park! Break for super happy fun animal orgy; complete with "I'll sniff any butt!" Alligator and a waitress that went out of her comfort zone! LOL! Antonio SPRINTING for mini mine train. he must be anticipating this one. oh wait, that's like at every coaster! Credit well earned, Andrew! Super. Mini Mine Train?! Where?! TPR Mine Train take over! Even the Mine Train is hidden by all the nice plants and flowers! Nicely landscaped park. Mmm....Freeze. Shane and Erik go up up and away! On over to Superman: Tower of Power. The first day, they had to switch it from combo mode to space shot....due to the heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
