Photo Trip Report HoliWood Nights by Twisterbret

[twisterbret]

I see a few trip reports on this event already, so I'll spare a lot of the details. You can find more photos on my site plus a high res option. http://www.coasterreview.com/twister/index.php?album=D70/HoliWood%20Nights%202006&mode=

 

We stayed at the Kings Island Inn on Thurs so we could split the drive up. It's been remodeled and we would stay there again for sure. They converted their bar to a Fridays type place called Coasters. There is a Beast Burger on the menu, weighing 3 pounds. You get a shirt if you can eat it but the burger costs 23.00 ouch!

This shot is a storm fast approuching.

Last shot. If you're bored, you can find more photos on my site plus a high res option. http://www.coasterreview.com/twister/index.php?album=D70/HoliWood%20Nights%202006&mode=

I forget the name of the thing, but I call it Cone of Death! It was amazing. As always it was plenty hot for 8:45am ERT at the water park. Coaster Freaks Freaks in swimsuits and one 300 pounder in a full wetsuit is something to see. yukk!

Looks like everyones having a blast!

I know it's only the swings but Conner was freaking out everytime he saw this ride even at night when you couldn't see much. He called it a New New??

"Hi New new" "Bye Bye New New"

Imagine waiting 20 min for the train ride, getting locked in a hot metal box, Then driving past scenes with someone with a megaphone wining, Peeeettteeer Peeeetteeerr Pumkiiin eeeeaaated blah blah.

When imitate to Conner he cracks up.

The curly fries at Kringles Cafe were most excellent. Kerri finding the double loop priceless!!

The Legend! It was running slow through the Helix and the Four Corners. I was dispointed. Still a great ride, just not how I remembered it.

Santa's Lodge. It's a family run hotel. Well it was the first time I stayed there. The hotel has grown in size over the years. You can still find the owner checking people in.

Hey Bret! Nice photos. Glad to see you included some water park stuff in there too. Not many people mentioned that in their reports.

 

One note - it might be better to include all your photos in your first post instead of putting each one in as a seperate reply. More people will probably look at them that way. Just use the "attach photo" button instead of the "submit" button.

 

Great to see you posting here more!
