Jds03 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Part Two: An Itamin drop tower, named "Intamin Drop Tower" You just don't see the Intamin part because the name Intamin is copyright. I took this on the way out. We all voted to leave early to get the long drive underway. That drive was awesome. I'll later post some reviews of the footage we watched on the way back, but this is it for now. ceeyah This was were we had lunch. The food was "OK" but they had Vault on tap, and Flinstones pushpops! That was more than enough to get me really hyper to sit on the bus for seven hours. Yay! First riders! How do I know their the first? Well maybe TPR members in the front give me the impression. I took the wait as a photo opp. Trash can joke!!!! Well, I see a train, But no riders. There's only one thing worse to put here than a "cloaking device" joke... Yet, we still had to wait under the sign. They meant "Were going to start testing at noon" We walked over to Gizzly since it was noon. "That's not a trash can, thats my wife!" Sorry... random caption... At the turn of the millennium, there were signs.... ...That this ride would one day be operated by Cedar Fair! Although I actuly put that there... Ive adopted the MF swoop as my signature. Generic Photo. Random After Deck photos. Log Flume. More play stuff. This slide shoots you down a 400 foot drop into this ramp, and then you fly into the wave pool to saftey! That lady in the sunglasses approves. On this slide, you actuly sit in trash cans! Notice those two kids on the side grabbing a new can to get back in line. We felt it was nessesary to take Paul to see the waterpark, just because it was themed to his home country, Australia. He felt right at home and approved Boomerang as being "Sterotype free". It's so simple, yet amazing to kids. I just thought somthing about this setup was so incredible, every park should have stupid things like this. They proably made this for less than a grand, twenty years ago, and now have a low maintence interactive attraction that kids love. I just felt it was nessesary at the exit of the path thing to tell the young woman operator "Whoever thought of this is a genius". She replied "Not Really, because I have to pick up these stupid boats all day". He job was to sit under an umbrella on a stool and pick up the boats with grab arm. High five for Cedar Fair Employment! So Basically, kids are fascinated by putting plastic boats down a little artificial river, getting their hands wet and seeing an occasional Scooby-doo cut out. I personally thought this was one of the simplest, coolest, and most ingenious thing at the whole park. But of course Cedar Fair had nothing to do with it other than now owning and operating it. I will get to my story about that young "Enthusiastic" ride tennet in the booth. We all sortof agreed that this looked more like a waste treatment facility than a water fun thing. The Rugrats was a highlight of my childhood. I never thought it would become a scar of my maturity in the future. It's time to Whore it up! I was actuly the only person in my group who could fit in the car, so the whole ride everyone just pointed and took pictures of me. Are these cars going up or down?! Unscramble this jumble to find out! : TSHAR-NCA "We are HIGH UHP!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Hollibone Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I actually didn't mind CGA (and Grizzly was surprisingly alright, I enjoyed it). It was a very nice park, just way too many trash-cans. Now here's something, with the exception of Grizzly, are there any other Cedar Fair parks which have roofing over their rides stations?

krazekiddd Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Oh memory lane. Sadly, I don't remember much of this park at all! Wait, I think I remember something, oh yeah, leaving. FlightAfterBurnDeck was freaking awesome! Vortex, not so much. Good job, I laughed, I cried (mainly at sites of Vortex). Maybe I'm still sleepy.

Meteornotes Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 CGA is pretty bad. FlightDeck is still amazing, though. I used to go to this park all the time when I lived in SF, so it was cool to visit it again, but it's really nothing more than a credit stop at this point. I am VERY curious to see the next part of your PTR... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sigh! I remember when this park first opened, back when I was in high school. It was a very nice place then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
