Title: Oh Snap, Knoebels !
Post by: Bubba Z on April 30, 2007, 09:35:38 PM
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! (In you're best Monster truck Jam voice)
and what better way to spend it, than at Knoebels.  First ride of the day was the Phoenix.

(http://gadvupdates.com/gallery/albums/album48/knoebels07_007.jpg)  Oh, did I mention Rob, and Melinda came with me. "Rob, That ride-op is so hot".

^This was the third train out for the day and the toaster seats weren't ready yet.  ;)  After that we would head to Gasoline alley 
(http://gadvupdates.com/gallery/albums/album48/knoebels07_009.jpg) Hey Grams I can drive now!

I've been talking(seen here) about riding the looper since it was installed and today was the day I finally got to ride.  Listen..when we are rotating I'll get us to flip.

Keep Rocking,  stay on target where almost there!

Bubs, stop hitting the brake or we'll never flip....and we never did :(

I think if we ever did flip I wouldn't have ridden it every again, so at least I have something to look forward to the next time.

Following the looper we went to the flyer's.  Hi Nate!  ;)
(http://gadvupdates.com/gallery/albums/album48/knoebels07_055.jpg) ^The flyer's are so easy to snap, that  even Mary and Rob could do it.
(Not actually happening in that picture, but they did)

(http://gadvupdates.com/gallery/albums/album48/knoebels07_068.jpg) Hey Kozmo, I think there's something wrong with you're sign. Unless  you're  giving flights away to Costa Rica to ride.

It wouldn't be a trip to Knoebels without a stop to the North Pole

Flying turns update...OK, not really,  since Nate just posted all of Steve's pictures.
(http://gadvupdates.com/gallery/albums/album48/knoebels07_056.jpg) It looks amazing and hopefully ready by PPP.

(http://gadvupdates.com/gallery/albums/album48/knoebels07_081.jpg) Rob's favorite game in the whole world "Fascination"

(http://gadvupdates.com/gallery/albums/album48/knoebels07_073.jpg)Here's Rob Doing the Picture thing with Komzo.

Ahhh, my favorite ride. One way, No Head on's

Knoebels once again was a great time as my daughter hit #50 on the Twister and made a new best friend Melanie. I also stayed undefeated at dog pounder as I'm now 3-0.

Bye For now as I'm sure we'll be back very soon!

Knoebels is a fun little park, I see that the Flying Turns are moving along and that some intresting guests appear in the park!

Sure now I'm going to have the Monster Truck "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!" in my head all day.
Knoebels sure looks like a fun place!

Nice pics
I may hit up Knoebels the day after the Hershey ACE Event May 19th or Dorney to get my Maxxpass activated.
Since I can't make Holliwood Nights

OK, now I'm really freaked out!

BTW, Bubba got a great shot of me snapping the Flyers.  You can't see the cables, but look at the shadows.

shadow  thats cool

Clementon park used to have the best ones.
I snapped them so much I repeatedly got kicked off them.
and one old ride op banned me from them. 
I was like 10-12 years old

yes the single cable flyers are the best
seems like most nowadays are double wire to prevent snapping / slacking
