Jantzen73 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Kids were getting antsy to get back to the Point - so with not much going on this weekend we decided to go up Sun-Mon. Since we renewed our Season Passes for 2016 we were eligible for free Fast Lane Plus for any non-Saturday any one day the rest of 2015 - so we took advantage of that. Crowds were out of control large Sunday - Fast Lane actually sold out! Last time I saw that was Opening Day with Gatekeeper... Anyway, we got there at open, beat the crowds and used FL+ until about 2 PM - then head out to hit the pool at Breakers Express and to check out some coaster track! There was actually a line of cars 1/3 way down the causeway, 3 lanes wide when we left! The "brown" portion of the new track really changed colors depending on the angle of the sun and if it were in the sun or shade - anywhere from a chocolate brown to a bronze. I'm more worried about how it rides than the color scheme but it was sure neat to check out. There was a 6' chain link fence around the area - with no signs or anything. I took a few shots from our room and the rest by zooming in through the fence or holding my camera above. We head back in the park later that evening after hitting Chet and Matt's wing and pizza buffet to get some more rides in. By this time Millennium Force Fast Lane wait was 45 minutes! We also stuck around for Maverick pass holder ERT. It went down about 20 mins in so we called it a night. Since I had my camera for the coaster track pics I set my alarm for 6 AM to try for some more sunrise shots. Had a nice pinkish hue this time and glad I woke up a bit early - though I'm about to nod off writing this trip report... So hope you enjoy! We had a nice view from our room at Breakers Express! The rest were taken through and over the fenced area... Snapped some photos from the Sky Ride Kick the sky! Never a train when you need one. I hope they don't have to remove too many trees for Valravn. Shot of part of the staging area. Here you can better see the location near the midway. Water tower and a nicely lit cloud. Iconic CorkScrew over the midway. Wide angle lens making Power Tower and Dragster lean! One of the best drops around. The sky was very pink this morning! My favorite prop! Meeting of the ducks. A little later things turned orange when this guy showed up. Sorry no Coasters, but I liked this shot! Now I just need a boat and I'll be all set.

TBpony414 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Every time someone posts pictures of the track the rails really do change colors! In person I'm sure it's even more color changing. I hope they don't have to tear down too many trees for Valravn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
