G$ Kurt Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 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. Â Cool video BTW, loved opening day this year had such a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbydinn Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Jeremie, Nathan, Jon, and Averi... screwing corks. Â That would not be me. I rode with Jo with Jeremie and Casey in front of us and we had the sexy black train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirouettes907 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 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.

Jerrykoala2112 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Jon, we were on that Demon train that Griffin took a picture of. I was waving to him and you could tell in the picture  Oh, and nice pictures Griffin! The re-riding on Whizzer at the end of the day was awesome!

deathbydinn Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 ^ Well I rode in the back car with Jo and if you look in the back car, that ain't us! Â Edit: Jeremie and Casey weren't on the same train as me. My memory failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffyTiffy Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Michigan's Adventure: TIMBERSFEST 2010 Â 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! First ride of the day: Thunderhawk! A GREAT Vekoma SLC! Yummy sidewinder... Twisty twisty twisty I found Cameron's game! Coasters! I had lunch here... and it was great! Corkscrew screws it's way around the station Now it is time for ERT! Wolverine Wildcat was running great! More happy riders! ERT was on Sea Dragon as well But the star of ERT... Shivering Timbers! It was running AMAZING "Welcome back riders... how was your ride on Shivering Timbers? THUNDERBOLT!" Me and Brandon (saginawhxc) on Shivering Timbers! The next morning we had Corkscrew, Mad Mouse, and Zach's Zoomer ERT! SKLOOSH Artsy? Corkscrew is a good Arrow! Grand Rapids was VERY wet! The Vekoma gods shine on the good Vekoma! shine shine shine "wow" There was a lot of words carved into the fence by Thunderhawk. This is one of them. weeee! Very fun! Cars and Coasters.... Falling Star... not as insane as the one at Indiana Beach "I wish my girlfriend was this dirty" Bye Michigan's Adventure! I will be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrykoala2112 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 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!  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!

saginawhxc Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Great pictures Griffin. I can't wait to do my report on the event. I should have it up sometime next week. Â 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.

deathbydinn Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Great pictures! I really like the one of the cars headlight with Corkscrew in the background. Â MA looks like a pretty good park, I should try to head over next year since it's only about 4 hours away, maybe even for TF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffyTiffy Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Thanks for the replies everyone! Â 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. Â Brandon- Thank You! I'm looking forward to you're report. And Aiden (spelling?) was awesome! Â 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. Â AndCamSS- ERT was awesome because you could get so many re rides on Timbers! I loved it! Â Keep on replying everyone! Â Thanks again, Griffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saginawhxc Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffyTiffy Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 ^ Was it the Getty drive-in? If so, the hotel I stayed at was right down the street! I was temped to check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffyTiffy Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 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! Â 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! Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 ^Great to know there's a skyscraper there! I'll have to ride it on the Mid America trip soon. Skyscrapers are by far my favorite upcharge ride, scare me to death every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Awesome! I love skyscrapers, they are probably my second favorite flat ever at my local fair besides the AMAZING ARM tower. You seemed to get some MAJOR awesome hangtime. That looked awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo19799 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
