Trip Report:

So we arrived at the park at around 12. It took forever to get in, but we finally did. Everyboday wanted to go to Hurricane Harbor [first, so John, Anthony and I seperated to ride coasters. We first went to Mind Eraser....I don't know why either. Well, we got the only two rows empty. I got the last row by myself, and John and Anthony sat in front of me! Well...owe! That thing is so rough! I like the setting though. I like how the ground is so green and hilly, and how there's water under the first drop, and the station and queue is nice, but the ride itself. Totally sucks! GOD, why the hell does Vekoma still make SLC's? So what did we do, we rode it again! So to get revenge, I made Anthony sit in the last row with me (muwahaha). For some dumb reason, John thought this was the coolest ride he's ever ridden.

We then headed over to Renegade Rapids, which would be John's last ride because he's deathly afraid of water! So we had a good ride on Renegade Rapids. It's a lot of fun, and has more to it than the older Rapids. So Anthony and I headed over to Roar which is still our favorite ride in the park. We got the second row the first time. We flew through the course and got great laterals and air! The second time we ran around and got the last row. It was great still.

Well, after that I headed over and waited for the front row of Two Face: The Flip Side. It's cool not to face someone, but otherwise, it's like a smoother Inverted Boomerang. The guy next to me asked where I was from and when I told him New York he said, "I got a lot of hoes in New York".......okay... Now to continue. We went over to Wild One to get a back to back ride in the last row, but they stapled me both times!  After that Anthony and I waited 10 minutes with this coaster enthusiest Jeff, for the fron row of Joker's Jinx. The ride was fast and smooth, and really intense! I love this so much more than Chiller!

After that we headed over to Hurricane Harbor. I spent $34 getting lunch for my brother and sister. TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT! So, Carey, Anthony and I split up in Hurricane Harbor and went on some slide. First we did both sides of Paradise Plunge. Very good with some good air on a water slide! Then we went and waited for Tornado. This was my first ever Proslide Tornado, and it was the first ride in a long time to actually make me nervouse when we were up there. The turn into the drop is verys uspencefull and then the drop comes! I went down backwards with major airtime! We went really high up the funnel (up to the blue which is the square that the water comes out of). I was totally amazed by this. We did it three times that day! I'm not going to get into a whole list because I'm sure no one is actually reading this (if so, feel free to acknowledge it). We did all the slide (except for Hurricane Mountain) and we left the park.

Notes
-Two train oepration on everything except for Mind Eraser
-The Life Gaurds were terrible, sending down empty tubes while people were on the slides (they'd get stuck in the tunnels)
-The park ops and service was alot better than last time!
-The line of cars was frightening while they had only two booths open.

It looks like a Vekoma, but it doesn't feel like a Vekoma


As Savannah says "Vekoma smooth as glass!"


It's an illusion!

Good job keeping it PG ;)

Good TR, whats up with your sudden obsession with SFA? You used to be a Sfne nut? ( I love going up to New england for the Clam Chowder alone let alone Sfne)

We personally see SFA as our least favorite SF park. What really happens is that we have friends who live 30 minutes away in Chesapeake Bay, and we spend time with them! Then we head out to SFA.

Nice Photo TR.  I'm not a huge fan either but still go every now and then to get my Superman and Batwing fill.  How were they running?

Well...in my visit in May, they both ran very shaky and one train! But in my last visit, I skipped both of them, though they both were running two trains!
