arrowfanman Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Hello ladies and gentlemen! I went to SFMM again today (I know! Once a week!) Since I was in a small group of 4 (more than usual), I thought I would document this trip as well. So without further adieu, my trip report. Today started off, awkwardly enough, with TJ showing up on time! I was amazed! We headed to the Mountain, took care of some Tastu construction pics, and then met up with Julian and Paul, two friends of ours. A friend we met on the way in. . . .I bet that’s a criminal doing community service hours in that suit. Paul and Julian went for X when we came in, but it was still testing, so they met back up with us, and we headed back to Dejavu. But first, we stopped for some bumper cars. A pretty cool picture…you can hang yourself with those seatbelts! …oh, that’s Julian. The we stopped for some Goldrusher…after all, it isn’t an arrowfanman update without some Arrow’s… The gum isn’t as bad as it used to be! Yay! TJ tends to get a little excited in the final helix. Long story short, after all of these distractions, we finally made it to Dejavu! I have never seen this shot before! We rode Dejavu twice, as there was no line…the ride is loads of fun, and really has no side to side headbanging…however, your head does get a bit shaken. You never hit the OSTRs, but you feel like your brain was loose, and shaking around your head. After Deja, Paul and I went to ride Jetstream, as TJ and Julian went to do Dive Devil, the skycoaster…I WILL NOT do the sky coaster. And don’t bug me about it, because I hear enough of it from my friends! My mind knows its perfectly safe, but my body just wont allow me to do it. Paul on Jetstream…I like this shot. TJ and Julian on Dive Devil…I guess that looks like fun. Am I starting to regret not doing it? Nope! All of a sudden, I feel content with my choice to stay on the ground. Man…they look very furious. Maybe I’ll do it next time…….yea right! After they finally finished up with Dive Devil, we decided to ride Riddler’s, which had a station-long wait. Probably had to wait 7 trains. Riddler’s is very fun for a stand up, but I don’t really care for stand ups to begin with! This is the best shot of the trip! I took it when upside down in the Riddler’s loop, and if you look in the corner, you can see the Batman train in the loop at the same time…gotta love that! Speaking of Batman, after Riddler’s, we went for Batman. But not after a good old ride on the Scrambler, a flat ride… I normally don’t feel sick on these rides, but I was focusing on the 1” screen on my camera when riding, and started to feel sick. Funny part, is in the process of this picture, I swear to God that the G Forces pulled some saliva out of my mouth and threw it God knows where…not that its anything to brag about. After the Scrambler, we finally rode Batman… I have to say….both Batman and Riddler’s were exceptionally fun today, so I had to check Scream too, to see if it was a B&M thing. It was…Scream even felt better than it normally does! So all the B&M’s are operating in great conditions right now! After Scream, it was time for some lunch. I had a single deal again… “Eat me!!!” “Its like I’m hungry, but I’m not hungry” What a better way to let your food digest, than to wait in a 15 minute line for Goliath while the other guys are out, waiting for X. …so that’s what we did. How many op’s does it take to operate Goliath!?! Hey!…I can see my house from here! And as you all know, Goliath’s helix pulls a sustained 4.5 vertical G’s for quite some time, so we had to do the G Force pressure faces… …I made them smaller, so they would be less scary. After Goliath, we still had some time to kill, so we chilled around the park… “Don’t go Mr. Six! Please don’t go! Golly we’ll miss you!” “Is that smell you or me?” Of course (taken there was no line, whatsoever), we had to ride Viper again. Lift shot! Joygasm!…yea, this shot isn’t as cool as the one from the other day. We finished the day off with a nice ride on the swinging ship, the Buccaneer… And that concluded a very nice, and very cold day at SFMM Sorry if the update seemed kinda thrown together…its 1 in the morning, and besides…this trip report is more picture oriented than word oriented…its to help feed all you folks with a REAL offseason! (Off season is typically my onseason, as I can get WAY more done!) -Jahan (not Ja-Rule!)
Hattuchili Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Nice Photo TR, Jahan! It looks like you had a good day at SFMM. Thanks for the great pictures! --Sören
pvcoasterguy Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Great TR again! Your TR's are great- right to the point. Hopefully I'll make some good TR's from my huge two week band/family trip to WDW/Universal.
SharkTums Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I thought we decided your new name was hypotenuse?
coaster_type_of_person Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Hypotenuse huh? Can i be pythagorean theorem? Just Kidding
Homer Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 No, I will always know him as "sfmm_geek" to me . Anyways, sfmm_geek, seemed like you and your friend had a fun time. And is it me, or have B&M's been running great? Montu at BGT was running nearly trimless a few weeks ago.
arrowfanman Posted December 19, 2005 Author Posted December 19, 2005 I thought we decided your new name was hypotenuse? Yea--WE decided that! No, I will always know him as "sfmm_geek" to me . Oh yea! Back in the good old days! Homer and I go way back. Thanks for your comments guys! I really appreciate them!
Jew Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 Some things never change (those were all supervisors in the Goliath station)...
