TR: SFMW 5/26

[Bush985]

Well I had to go get my Season Pass processed for my upcoming trip, so Don (JeezusJuice), Wally (Phishy Brewer), Scott (Old Crow), and myself all hit up SFMW on Friday for a few hours.

 

After arriving at the park right after opening, we headed in. Got my season pass processed and then headed over to Medusa for the first ride of the day.

 

Medusa was running well, except the operations. Some of the slowest operators I have ever experienced in my life. We waited about 25 minutes I believe for the 2nd row and the line was up in the station.. Oh well.

 

Next up we headed back towards Tava's Jungleland. After making our way up the hill, we hit the new area. Overall I would have to say I was impressed. It was a nice little area. The Fountains were nice, along with the new rides. I wasn't expecting anything extravagent, and it lived up to expectations.

 

First up in Tava's was the Rock In Tug... Well it was going to be. Don wanted his "Credit," damn whore.... So Scott and Don snuck on with a little kid and enjoyed their ride while Wally and I watched. We then hit up the childrens play area....

 

The giant slide complex was pretty fun. We ran around for a few minutes, and then Don and I tried taking out the slide, well we just slid, but I don't think we were supposed to. The whole structure shook pretty bad. We headed down towards the "Safari Jeep Ride" next...

 

So we are in line, Don, Wally and myself for the Jeeps, get on.. and are ready to ride when... The Operator comes over and tells us we are too big to ride. Don had already wedged himself in the front of one of the cars and was ready to go. So we get off and head over to the Samba Tower. Jumped on there and took a spin. Checked out some more of the area, and then headed towards the back of the park.

 

Next up we headed back towards V2. V2 was about a 15 minute wait in the station, we rode 3rd row and it was alright, nothing grand. I think Wally was happy because he was able to ride. Caught up with a friend and then hit up Roar next.

 

Roar was just putting it's second train on when we walked up, and we got right on. The ride was running really well. The park did a nice job with Roar in the off-season. So we got off Roar, and then walked back towards the front. It was almost time to go, so we headed back over towards Medusa Plaza for another ride before we left.

 

On the way over to the Plaza we stopped to witness one of the funniest things I have ever seen at SFMW. A little non-english speaking man running the Guess your Age and Weight Game near Looney Tunes Seaport! AFter about 10 minutes of pure laughter, we headed over to Medusa.

 

Got into our seats, look over to my right and the control operator and the exit operator are sitting on their cell phones. The loader is checking all the restraints on the train.... Finally the ops decided to get off their cel phones after about 4 or 5 mins and dispatch.

 

So the day was over. We all hit up the tram and headed on out, back to the cars. Wally hit up BJ's and we decided to stop by Carls real quick.

 

That was pretty much the whole day. This was going to be a photo TR but... I took my camera to work on Sunday, and it ended up getting stolen. So I sit picturless... I will live.

 

Thanks to Wally, Don and Scott for a fun day.
