Reon Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Alright. I got some pics, but there on my phone, so it will take a while to transfer them... On to the written part! After wasting my time in school (why didn't I skip today?) I finally arrived at about 3:30. Unfortunately, the pass proccessing line went all the way across the circle, so it took another half hour wait before I actually got in... Once I finally made it into the park, I went to wish VorteX a happy 19th birthday, the only way I knew how. (mmm, GOOD Arrow). After my mandatory airtime orgy, I went to check out NU. I got in line for Avatar as soon as I got there, but the line was about half an hour long. Just as it was about to be my turn (2 or 3 trips away at most), I looked at my watch. I remembered that we were planning a TPR meet at Beast at 5, so I jumped out of line and dashed over to the coolzone. Once I got there, I waited. And waited. No one came after half an hour, so I went back to whore some kiddy credits. Avatar was nice, but I was expecting air on that hill. Oh well. Also, I STILL think they should run the Cosmo train backwards on FOC. After the whorage (counting a disk-O coaster and a retheme/name/tunnelless) I was hungry. So, I went to check out the new Skyline location on International street. As usual, I got a 3 way and a cheese coney. Back to coasters. After dinner, I decided to score a few different coasters before calling it a night (and with only 2 hours left). First one I saw was Adventure Express, so I sprinted to the line. Fortunately, I got a walk on for the front seat of the back car. The ride is sort of like IJST in a way. If you only ride it, its mediocre, but if you try to have fun with it (eg trying to grab the ruins or the gold) its fun as heck. So once we pulled in, I took another lap, moving up to another random empty row in the middle. After AE, I went nextdoor to Racer, and jumped in line for Recar (which was suprisingly racing to some extent.) A little rough, but still some nice (though not even close to Vortex). After losing to Racer (stupid empty Recar train), I went to see how the FoF line was. None of the switches were up, so I went for it. I noticed they have some new lines in the station from the "visitors". Stuff about visiting each others planets and what not. My fave is after you exit: "Thank you for showing us you humans can be pushed to your*cuts off*" Copyright infrigment, anyone? After the launcher, I only had 40 minutes left. Naturally, I bolted for another ride on VorteX. I think I got a new record for airtime sitting in the middle: *Floater down the big drop *slight ejector over the second hill *slight ejector going up into the brakes *slight ejector going down from the brakes *Legs out of car THE ENTIRE DURATION of the corkscrew, while I had some floater. Unfortunately it was the last train of the night. Discouraged, I ran to IJ, only to learn it was also closing. So then to Beast. Surely their star attraction would be open right? WRONG! Apparently all the major attractions were closing 20 minutes before closing. So I did the only thing I could: RATCAGE OF DOOM! After the flyers, it was 8 exactly, so I had to leave. The end. Oh and as a reminder, pics will be up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Yeah, I screwed up, I'd forgotten to set my watch for daylight savings, so I was messed up with the time all day. It was just after 5PM that I scored the first cycle of the season on Delirium, when it FINALLY opened. I'll try to get a photo TR up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffy Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I was in line for my season pass for a hour in the rain. I rode the Vortex, Beast, Avatar, and Adventure Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 HA! I was only in for half an hour. I win! Its okay that you missed, I just missed out on half an hour of riding is all (and the Beast line was looking short then...) Photos will be up...in the next post>.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 And now, ZE PHOTOS! Keep in mind that these were all shot from my cameraphone, so not the best quality. I also snaped a few quick vids, but they wont format right for a direct upload, so you will suffer without my footage Im a celebrity! Sure does photograph well... More Vortex shots, because everyone loves VorteX. I actually pulled a viking ship on this thing (you know, when you start chanting back and forth.) No one joined in ofcourse, for obvious reason that children shouldnt be chanting "credit whore" More Skyline locations make Reon happy I AM UFO! GIMME CANDY! Exclusive POV shot Taken from last train of the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIDelirium Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Cool pics. I still haven't decided if I'm going to count Avatar or not. It sure felt like a credit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Skyline chili . . . o-o-o-o-o . . . Skyline brings out my inner Homer Simpson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 ^^I say close enough. And yes. I really DID start chanting credit whore once it was going full swing Before then, I was pulling a Robb by commenting on everything that was happening. "Were going forward..no wait, now we're going backwards....OMG WERE SPINNING! ...I think were not gonna make it over the bump...AIR-LESS HILL!" I think my favorite shot was of the POV on Vortex. I just whipped out my phone during the hold on the breaks, snapped a shot, and put it back away. edit: didnt see ^ post. I hear ya man. Any Cinci style food (other than those posers at Goldstar) bring out the bottomless pit of my belly. And Skyline is definatley my favorite chili in the world.

PKIDelirium Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Did you notice how crappy Vortex's station is looking? They replaced the sign with a new one, but it doesn't have the old classic light bulbs! The whole station needs some TLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
