chadster Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 New Year, New Adventure! Â I made it to closing day for the 2012 season at SFOT for my annual pilgrimage to Anton's Holy Shrine: Shockwave. And possibly checkout the rest of the park. Â Shockwave looks great in it's new colors as does the bobsled thingy. Not much in terms of getting the site ready for the 400ft tall monster, but I'm sure that won't start for a few more weeks. Â So what do you say, let's get to it! Meh, close enough. Hello La Vibrator Back Killer Chiropractor Thingamajig. You are looking fantastic. I'm actually very impressed. Up to the front gate we go. Hey, wait just a @^@#$^(@#^&) minute! WTH?!?! Fingerprint scanners have made there way to SFOT, but apparently the public is too stupid to understand how it works and they weren't being used when I got there. I guess there is always next season. Â Anyway, be on the look out for them at a park near you. Nice chilly afternoon for some Bunny's and Comic Book Hero's Pando has lost it's screen since my last visit. Oh well, no big loss really. I mean seriously, I'm probably the ONLY one that has noticed it's gone. It did nothing for the ride under it's now, 3rd new name. Adventure Theater presents: Holiday in the park is known for two things, Food (the kind made by outside vendors that's really freaking amazing) And the closure of Mr Freeze and Batman. The park is JAMMED especially on Saturday. I really hope the park considers throwing the cold weather wheels on Batman next year. They could use the ride capacity. Anyway, before we go visit the shrine, how about some construction. I guess you can call it cleaning up. Or call it abandoned. I call it dirt. Anyway, it's now time to visit Anton's Holy Shrine, this year with more green. Lots and lots of bright glorious green. If this doesn't turn you on, honestly, I don't know what will. (And please, don't tell me) She's been cleaned up, greased up, and ready to please. Just look at those curves. Perfectly shaped in every way. What a great set of legs. They just don't make them like they used to. It's like fine wine. Are you green with envy of me yet? The best set I've seen to date. That's a whole lot of sex appeal there. I think I need a shower, too bad the flume is closed. But looks like there are some lights to look at. I seriously hope they have already taken some of them down because the lighting was kinda sad and pathetic. You know, like you. I mean yeah. Moving on. So I had taken video of the loading process. But, there is so much of it out there it wasn't worth my time to render and upload. I mean if you want to see it, tell me, if I get enough yay's I will. Timed at about 2:10 from entrance to exit. Â You can see that a new button panel has been added on a stand next to the main control panel. Good night sorta new Texas Giant. Goodnight green superman, see you March 2nd.

chadster Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 You never know what Six Flags has up their sleeves. It could sit empty like that for 2 or 3 years. OR perhaps they might put in a few kick ass flat rides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 All good things must come to and end, and today marks the end of this thread. While it's always possible that it will be dusted off, re-incarnated, and brought back with more enthusiasm, off the wall captions, and unique places, for now, it's received it's walking papers. Â So to end this thread I visit one of my favorite parks in the U.S., Sea World Orlando about three weeks ago. I couldn't have asked for better weather, the rides and attractions looked great, and it honestly had me thinking, why Texas and not Orlando? Â It is sad, however, that what was once a great restaurant has relegated itself into an overpriced and underwhelming buffet, Antarctica on the other hand will surely be a great addition and I look forward to its opening. Â So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Full albums of photos from this trip and others can be found on my facebook page, just click to the left. Â Only time will tell what I bring next, but you can sure it will top what's be done in this thread. Â Thanks for reading, and I look forward to bringing something new and exciting in the future! Welcome to one of my favorite parks in the U.S. Â If you can't guess what it is, well, you suck! Something is missing here.... Here it is! Only the best flying coaster ever built. Fact. Just hanging out, catching some rays Best.Element.Evar. Meanwhile, let's head over to another kick ass B&M Such a scenic, peaceful place, save for the bird crap that is. What a life. Feed me your children Apparently Californian's hate these guys, I on the other hand, happen to think they are quite entertaining. Catch the bird! Over at Steve Irwin's nightmare. Nice and slimy, except not. Be a hero, not a zero Goodyear blimps docked at sea Watchyoulookingat? The infamous three legged turtle Journey was getting needed repairs all over, I'm hoping they continue to spruce up the effects as they've gotten a really good start. Fencing creates ripples, learned that on Gold Rush. Two watching, two working. Noted. Back to Kraken, I attempted an artsy shot. See that empty train? They were running TWO of them. A park that loves it's guests. Pro tip: Plat Pass = 2 rides, or more if they like you. See? Empty. Just in case you wanted to see more rehab work. Obligatory photo spot that everyone must have their picture taken in front of. It's a requirement. No fruit loops here. No studs either. Be a Hero! "I got my eye on you kid" Secondary obligatory photo spot Time to cross the pond and head out. Bye Kraken! See you soon! Bye awesome view! See you soon! And bye to this thread, see you all soon!
