Anthony (15)

Me (15)

 

We arrived at the park around 2:30 PM. When we got to the toll, they told us to go to the back parking lot. We went in the back entrance. We relized how crowded the park was, so we went to guest relations to get the handicap pass. My sister has arthritis.

 

First we walked over to Le Cobra. This season Savannah reached 54 inches. We walked up the exit, and told us to come back at 3. We decided to go on Orbite becuase Savannah had never been on an S&S Space Shot. It was great. Savannah screamed the whole time, but she loved it. But Savannah started not to feel well. And started complaning . From Orbite, we saw that Le Boomerang got stuck on the first lift. And it kept moving back and forth. So Boomerang was out of the question, for now.

 

Anthony and I decided to ride Le Vampire. We still prefer Batman The Ride. But it's no where is good as Talon. After that. We sat down and ate. Poutine rocks! Le Vampire got stuck before we got on it. But it was only for one minute. Anthony and I couldn't go on Le Cobra with out Savannah. So we skipped it. We went in the Nintendo Dome.

 

We all wanted to go on Bob L'éponge 3D, so we tried it. We all hated it. I'll never go on this again! I don't like Spongebob that much, but that's not th reason. There were three preshows. The first one was just the main menu of the Spongebob movie. The main theater was much bigger. And it had a balcony for little kids who can't use the seats. The main reason we hated it was the harnesses. Yes! This ride had OTSR! They hurt! Also is was alot shakier, and the vibration when the jellyfish stings you, was so hard, that it made me scream! It reminded me of The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter.

 

We heard thunder, so Savannah, Anthony and I ran to Le Monstre. We got the last car on track 1. i got on ride footage of it. There are NO camera rules La Ronde. I don't care if this coaster has Morgan trains, it still rocks!

 

After that we ran to Super Manège. Got an other POV. It was a little rougher than usual but still good. After that I went on Manitou. Wow this gives you excellent airtime! Boomerang reopened. And i was the only one with this credit. But no one wanted to go on it because it was breaking like crazy. I went on by myself.

 

Wow this ride sucks! It hurt really bad. It bounced up and down like a really bad wooden coaster. I have on-ride footage from it though. After I got off, it got stuck on the second lift and it sat there for one mintue and rolled back two feet and sat there for an other ten minutes. Than Super Manège got stuck on the top of the lift for the fourth time.

 

After that we went on Le Dragon. This is still one of my favorite indoor coasters. I got an other POV. After that we went on the Minirail. We took one and a half laps. We got off and went on L'Pitoune. We didn't get wet.

 

After that. Savannah braved up and said, I'll go on Le Cobra. She figured she should get on her first stand up coaster. Getting in the stand up seats, Savannah was freaking out a little. Going up the lift she was a bit nervous. Me an Anthony put our hands up. Savannah screamed. And than we were both in shock. Savannah put her hands up in the loop. This was the best ride I ever had on this ride. Savannah was so happy she rode it.

 

Then we went on Le Vampire. Savannah loved this, and put her hands up on this too. Savannah and I went on Orbite again after Le Vampire. It was good. Savannah loves Vekoma! Expecially there Boomerangs, so we went on Le boomerang. Anthony doesn't care for Boomerangs, so it was just us two. I still don't like this ride. But Savannah likes it. She's now been on three Boomrangs.

 

Anthony, Savannah and I went on Le Monstre again. But we waited for the fron't row. It was good. Savannah and mom went on Le Spirale. So Anthony and I went on Le Dragon again.

 

After that. Savannah and Anthony took a ride on Condor. After that. Savannah, Anthony and I got our credit on La Marche du Mille-pattes. Wow this ride is good. It's a kiddie coaster with great airtime!

 

Mom, Savannah, Anthony and I took a ride on Joyeux Moussaillons. It was nice. Except at the end. Savannah and I got soaked on the little hill. While Anthony and mom laughed at us. The park closed so we went home.

Wow. Sounds like you had a pretty crappy time, I was there this month and the same thing happend. Le cobra closed all day, super manage closed all day, was on boomerang when the cable snapped, on the splash had to evacuate because the motor for the lift died. On le vampire the train went 2 cars past the station so they couldnt let me out... That was a horible trip the only thing that ran all day was goliath and le monstre i guess they don't take as much care of the other rides now..

If you're referring to the original poster, this review was posted in August of 2005 - well before Goliath was in the park
