Calaway Park Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Today I took a trip up to Galaxyland with my friend's Sam and courtney and took pictures to show you guys the park, it's under photographed, that's for sure- thankfully Robb and Elissa did get a POV of Mindbender for you guys. [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=CIMG1403_8wiw[/coastertube] There's a video of the new flat! Sonic Twister! It was just as good as I had hoped, a super turbulent little ride that packed a ridiculous punch in a super small form factor! "Hidden Mickey" Galaxy Orbiter twisting around the mighty Mindbender. The Space Shot! The name is misleading, while it's called the Space Shot, it's actually an S&S Double Shot. The former location of the Sonic Storm, future location of Galaxyland's new flat! STACKER! The most evilly addicting game EVER. The Cosmic... big... scrambler... thing. Galaxy Orbiter! There's really nowhere in the park you can go without seeing a part of Galaxy Orbiter's track. It's really everywhere, and the coaster is a TONNE of fun. Yogen Fruz! Second best part of the trip. Zoom! Mindbender's helix. OF DOOM. Where you get your photo taken. Line's short! Let's go! Sonic Twister really was fantastic. From what I gathered, sort of as a tribute to Sonic Storm and Galaxy Twister, the 2 rides getting replaced, they combined their names. The sign! The track is really, just... everywhere. Flying Galleon! The ride where we sat in front of a bunch of screaming pre pubescent 6 year old boys who never shut up the entire ride. Yay. The Galleon actually sits above a little pool of water, and a little waterfall goes over the exit normally, but it was off today. The park is themed very well for the most part, definitely on the kids side [there's a more thrilling ride side and a side with mostly kids rides.] More of Flying Galleon's theming. Bumper cars, and theming. Galaxy Kids Play Park. It's crazy! I wish I was still small enough to visit it, it's so much fun! A huge tangled mess of slides, nets, bridges and stuff to climb! WOOT. The train also goes pretty much everywhere in the park. Balloon Race! These photos are of Europa Boulevard, my favourite phase of West Edmonton Mall The Professor WEM'S Mini Golf Course lies under the pathway. Neat little water features in it. Thanks for reading/looking! Hope you enjoyed! ADMIN EDIT: I have edited your title to move the "Photo TR:" to the front of the title for formatting purposes and have added a brief description to the subtitle so that readers viewing this thread from the index can have an idea of what they'll see if they visit your thread.

tanthonyam Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Brings back good memories of my first time there. I loved Mindbender, but I thought the park was a litle small and mostly too many kiddie rides. I also liked the Solar Flare ride too. That new ride is tiny though, I would have thought they could have put in a larger version. I enjoyed the mall, theme park and water park, but the stores and restaurants seemed very expensive.

They're really not any more expensive than anywhere else, they just have a lot of higher end clothing retailers. Go down Bourbon Street and there are some fantastic restaurants and they have great prices. And the Spaghetti Factory is awesome. And hey, there's always the food court for some Yogen Fruz, Jugo Juice/Booster Juice/Orange Julius and dim sum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanthonyam Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I ate at Spaghetti Factory and really enjoyed it. I guess being from the US the exchange of money and the value of the US dollar is not much here, thus seeming more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
