Lenaapple1974 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 HEY! I went to Great Adventure yesterday with my daughter, and brothers. I got some cool pictures I am excited to share with you guys! I dont know if anyone remembers me being oh so scared to ride (RNR of all coasters) last year. Well, since then....I have tried (almost) every one I can get my hands on! So...on to the photos... I am a sucker for the walk in photos We are off to validate our season passes. One of our SFGA traditions is to have a photo in front of the fountain. Another tradition is we ride Nitro first. Ameilia, JA and Danny behind bars, waiting to go on Nitro. I am safe....I just dont like that ride. My brother is mocking me from the ride! Flapping like a chicken!!! Ameilia, Danny and I with Bugsy JA and Ameilia with Daffy They tried to get me on here...but a lingering memory of chanting kept me from going on... ("this ride sucks" as it pulls into station) Ameilia standing in front of the Batman car. It was full of pollen! A shimmery yellow/green if you will. Coming off Batman the ride - JA poses for me as Ameilia hides behind the garbage can scaring Danny...If I had only caught that shot!! Now looking at the picture, I can see her shadow waiting there... It is so loud over here! The line said only 45 minutes. We went thru it in about 25. AGAIN - the blue side is NOT working. The only group shot of all four of us today.. A touching mommy/daughter picture My favorite past time...catching on ride shots...while I am not on them... SPLASH DOWN! Danny, Ameilia and JA braved the Log flume! Getting soaked by some unexpected bypassers Ameilia waiting for the lift hill to end Danny posing with his phone...which quickly went away. This mine train is known to take away your possesions! Fun on the Runaway Mine Train. This ride is always a quick thrill! Superman! I have to say i had reservations about this ride. I wasn't sure about the positioning. Not to mention some girl decided to not put her feet in the holster, and it stopped on the lift hill. Lots of people walked off...great on the nerves! T The Great American Scream Machine. I was told to not go on this since I was having a great old time today. I listened to the three of them and just did what I do best. Take the picture of my peeps on ride. Second car second row...Ameilia and JA On the Buccaneer JA throws up a pose while Ameilia talks to the people behind her! Lots of coasters... The beautiful EL TORO! Now...when is this sucka opening? Sometimes I get picture happy! Look at that Log Flume! View of the sky way from the sky Yeah...so maybe I am just a little bit chicken of this ride... Not bad for being upside down...Sadly to say it was my idea to do the superman pose. This was my first time on..and I heard Id be thrown in my seat at this part...so instinct told me to grab hold!

Lenaapple1974 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hopefully now that I am riding the coasters, I will soon get to see that! I will buy the photo too! I actually want to get my butt to SFMM. I want to do TATSU! My Cali trip has been indefinitely postponed...so I am sad. I have been missing soooo much not riding all these years...but now I have to do it all! They created a monster. Next year I am back in Orlando. Good news about that is I now have to go on Krakken, DD, EE, and Hulk...not to mention BGT rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenaapple1974 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thank you!! I used a Kodak Easy Share DX7630 6.1 on 4.0 mp for those. I noticed it is one of the better types of digis. It takes better pics than my Aunts sony 5.1 and better than my friends Canon 5.0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Wow, El Toro sure is coming along. I can't wait to ride that, if the thing is ever actually finished. Hopefully it will be opened within the month. Nice pictures, hopefully you'll be brave enough to tackle the ET when it does finally open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Those pics are awesome. The clarity is what I would say to a previous post "I could almost reach towards my monitor and touch them." LOL If I recall, isn't El Toro track built by Intamin? Is that the same company who did the Colossus in Europe (forget park name)? I heard that ride was smooth as glass. If the same applies towards El Toro, then there may be a new fight within the top 10 woodies.? Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 El Toro looks amazing!!! Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Great photos, nice to see more progress on El Toro. Hopefully you give Nitro a chance in the future, B&M speed coasters are awesome. Looking forward to Coaster Celebration this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
