davisal771 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Well, this is my first photo trip review, and I didn't really make too huge an effort to take good pictures as I was having more fun than I thought! Well basically we left Co. Springs at noonish, we made it to Elitch's at around 1:00. It was me, my little brother, and our friends Sterling and Jeff. Sterling had came with us before, and was kinda scared that time but he managed almost everything in the park, this time he was fearless. This was Jeff's first time ever to Elitch's (or any roller coasters) so he was a bit nervous but we didn't have to convince him to ride anything. He got on with the "I'm scared but it's going to be awesome" mentality. I explain this because I hate it when I bring someone to Elitch's and they don't ride a thing because "the train might fly of the track". Its extremely aggravating and not even worth the trip up there if I have to ride everything by myself... But this was not the case! We first got there and ran to Chaos, which has to be one of the best flats ever! If I ever get super rich, I'm putting one in my backyard Afterward we went to Sidewinder, the amazing Arrow shuttle. The airtime caught Jeff my surprise, but he loves it. we then went to Twister II and had a blast on the rough, forceless coaster (still fun though). I'm not sure what we did the rest of the day but highlights include: -Seeing extremely large woman in short shorts and and cutoff shirts -Seeing a gangbanger hold his friend on the bridge to Shipwreck Falls and proceeding to beat the s*** out of him when he got soaked -Reporting a dumb lifeguard for not helping Jeff in the wave pool (waves were mighty strong ) -And of course not letting the "ghetto" kids who think they own the park line jump. Anyway, heres some pics... Someone forgot to charge their camera battery, and only got a few pics... 120 years of fun Adam, Jeff, Sterling. The midway is well themed. The ferris wheel is getting a sexy LED light package. Can't wait to see it! Mind eraser is erasing a few minds Chaos is doing its thing, being an INCREDIBLE flat. Troika was down. Twister 2 from the Sidewinder station. Loop-de-loop... A great loop. Obligatory Twister II picture. Twister II station. It was empty. Rest in peace Flying Coaster. Actually, don't. Mind Eraser is a very smooth SLC.
chaos Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 You're right. Chaos IS an amazing flat ride. But it's a shame there weren't more pictures. I was expecting at least to see the... umm... "extremely large woman." Then again, maybe its better you didn't expose anyone else to that. Pretty enjoyable trip report, even though it was so short.
davisal771 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Posted July 5, 2010 ^ The sad thing is, those "Extremely large woman" are commonplace. The clientèle of Elitch Gardens leaves much to be desired...
