St. Louis' Tower of Power does a random drop sequence, dropping cars randomly so you never know when your car is gonna go. Thats why the catch cars are coming down differently.

 

Cool video BTW, loved opening day this year had such a great time.

Very nicely done! The lighting and clouds were working very well with you for some of those pictures of Iron Wolf and Raging Bull. I'm hoping to make it up there this summer, so any trip reports I see just make me that much more excited for it! I also liked your pictures from my home park, SFStL.

That would not be me. I rode with Jo with Jeremie and Casey in front of us and we had the sexy black train.

 

Thats odd. I could have sworn you and Jeremie rode on that train. I must have been mistaken.

 

Thanks for the comments everyone! Keep them coming!

Michigan's Adventure: TIMBERSFEST 2010

 

This past weekend I took a trip out to Michigan's Adventure for the Timbersfest event. I met so great people and rode some great rides!

This past weekend I took a trip out to Michigan's Adventure for the Timbersfest event. I met so great people and rode some great rides!

 

Thunderhawk and Shivering Timbers are some really great rides! I can only imagine what ERT would be like on them

 

You took some great shots, and am really jealous of how much you rode! Michigan's Adventure is definitely an under rated park, although can use a couple more thrilling flat rides. If this event is held again next year, I'll be sure to go!

Great pictures Griffin. I can't wait to do my report on the event. I should have it up sometime next week.

 

I'm actually in the first Wolverine Wildcat station picture too, but I'm almost completely hiding behind that Aidan kids mother. That was my only solo ride on WW, because when that ride was over they asked if it was okay if he rode with me and he ended up riding 7 times in a row total on WW with me before following me over to Shivering Timbers and doing 8 laps over there with me.

Oh BTW, thanks for giving up your 2nd to the last row on Timbers during ERT for us! lol

 

Nice to see some non-selfish dorks at an ert!

Thanks for the replies everyone!

 

Jeremie- I'm glad you like the photos! I agree that the park is underrated. The only downside to the park is how it is far from other parks, making it difficult to include in theme park trips.

 

Brandon- Thank You! I'm looking forward to you're report. And Aiden (spelling?) was awesome!

 

Jon- Thanks for the compliment! I would recommend a trip to the park, and a trip to the beach, as the park is very close to Lake Michigan.

 

AndCamSS- ERT was awesome because you could get so many re rides on Timbers! I loved it!

 

Keep on replying everyone!

 

Thanks again,

Griffin

If your gonna recommend the beach, which is a great beach, I have to also point out that Muskegon has one of the best run down Drive-In move theaters around. It is kind of like the Indiana Beach of Drive-Ins. It is a must do in that city.

Sorry for the double post, but here is the onride video of my INSANE ride on Skyscraper at Timber Falls Adventure Park in Wisconsin Dells!

 

The ride operator, Zach, is becoming infamous for his ability to flip the ride cars by moving his legs and arms very fast. This provides a MUCH more thrilling experience! So if you ride the Skyscraper, and Zach is working, ask to ride with him! He will be happy too!

I wonder how many times a day Zach rides that thing. It was really nice of him to do that though. Cory keeps talking about Extreme World. Is that somethig you would want to do in the future? If so, he'll ride with you!

 

I'll stick to Skyscraper... Extreme World is just too expensive.
