Kean-Jenkin-side Photo TR 6/9/07
« on: June 10, 2007, 09:28:09 AM »
Phone beeps, New Text message.   Bubs, Great White  is Closed for the Weekend :( 

Well,  Instead of sitting home for the day I went North to knock out some credits that I didn't have. I found myself on the NJTP passing GA  :o and heading to my first stop



My first plan was to see if Wildcat would be running for the day. With only one car on track I knew it didn't look good. On the positive side there was a guy working on it , so maybe this is the Year it finally comes to life. Hey even the Web-site says it's open  ;)


See only one car teasing passing enthusiast


The condition of the ride looked scarier than the one at Williams grove.


^That shot would have looked better from the beach, but I was waiting in line for the Dragon coaster ...insert picture below?  After riding that we walked around,  played some arcade games and passed the spook house.(How can someone ride the dark rides in Rye and say no to this one. Oh well, she's only 6, lol)  We came to the end of the Mid way and checked out this old  Crazy Caterpillar.



I really wanted to ride , but No one was around.



We eventually ending up leaving after spending $4 for the credit and headed to Jenkinson's. Hopefully next time I go, I'll  spend some time in Water park (Looked cool) ride Wildcat and cruise through one of the oldest dark rides.

Credit #2 of the day we found ourselves waiting for the Flitzer. Every car had a really nice paint Job.



Two random people enjoying their ride.

 

OK this section of the report is called "Credit or no Credit" for all you crazy counters out there. 

exhibit A:


exhibit B:


Credit or no credit, Remember "NO STICKS"  , WTF?



Somehow I got swindle into riding this thing, Never again!




After that we did the train ride around the park (2 LAPS) got some Ice cream and left for Sea Side. Jenks was cool, but arrive early in the day. This way you can spend more time on the Boards than driving around looking for a place to park. 

Once father south we ended up in Seaside.  I had a bad feeling about parking again , but we lucked out with front row parking near casino pier.

We casually walked to the pier knowing Pirates would be closed, see.



I talked to one of the workers near Khor brothers. He told me this..

"I've ridden it,  but we are now  just waiting for the state's approval. "look for a July 4th opening by the latest

We already had this credit as well, Hola!



 Oh , and Hi Chuck ! I know you miss riding me being in Wildwood and all.



Since we didn't ride coasters at seaside we took a lap through the fun house mirror slide trailer and played some frog hopper.



She won a medium Koala bear in memory of GA ;)

We had one more  planned visit for the coaster credit in L.BI.  cough cough. Yeah?   but the weather was getting cooler and we promised Rob we would stop by. If you are still looking for that summer Job...Check this out.



Well that ends another TR..... and remeber Credit or no Credit ?

Thanks for reading,
Bubs

Thats what I thought it was
I go to Wildwood many times a Year and Never yet have been on it.

it looks awesome and scary (for the average person , although I'm not scared of anything)
but maybe next time I will try it

Chuck is it worth it ?

I've been on the skyscraper a few years ago. It is very fun, but I don't think it is worth $20. This year I went on the slingshot, which used to be on Casino Pier but is now at Funtown Pier. I rode it in the beginning of the spring, and it was only $10, not the usual $20 like it is again now. $10 for either the skyscraper or slingshot is worth it, but when it comes to $20, that's questionable.
