I printed out a bunch of $3 off wristband coupons for us too... a total of 10 coupons.

That's about right...Im pretty sure you can pay for the rides individually, although that is incredibly expensive

PcMan · « **Reply #7 on:** July 13, 2007, 01:06:44 PM »

5 rides $26

I'm going to Storybook land LOL

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #12 on:** July 14, 2007, 08:29:55 PM »

The night was awesome!

It wasn't much of a meet-up since we all went up in the same car, but still an awesome night none the less.

I now have a new favorite flat ride (Top Spin) and a new "Top 10 material" woodie in the Cyclone. I'll be posting a TR and pics on Monday night.

ChuckR · « **Reply #13 on:** July 14, 2007, 08:51:27 PM »

It's all about the breakdance!

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #14 on:** July 14, 2007, 08:52:43 PM »

I wish

PcMan · « **Reply #15 on:** July 14, 2007, 09:55:48 PM »

More rides then I expected
fun times
Cyclone Very Fun
I love the padded seating like riding a coaster while sitting on your coach (on some seats)

Break Dance was crazy you get dizzy just watching it
and the other spin ride went for over 8 minutes

Only 15 miles off the NJ Turnpike

Pictures speak a Thousands words !!

OH MY GOD! I totally did not see this topic! I'm so sorry guys, the sad part is, I was on here too! I was there today too. I rode the Cyclone, Break Dance, Water Flume, Dantes Inferno and the Wonder Wheel today with Kenny (Kenskie), Gayjew (his boy toy), and my brother Anthony. I got my two pay checks, round out to $125 in CASH! And when I was on the Cyclone, my old boss was giving me the eyes of death, and Anthony and I just laughed!

....then we broke down on the train for 15 minutes, when Andrew had to get home!

^ We were there last Night the 13th, not today. This thread is just a continuation of last night since some of us didn't get home till 2 or 3am. Sorry we missed all the New Yorkers on the boards!

AH! Either way, I was bored and did nothing yesterday, I wish i read this. Next time you guys do this, and I'm around, I'll come, and try to get some "treats"

Dubya91 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 15, 2007, 02:02:54 AM »

Your welcome for the Directions bubba

coastersue · « **Reply #21 on:** July 15, 2007, 08:54:13 AM »

The picture of Rob and Dan on the dark ride together is so cute!

Did you guys take the subway or drive there? We've always taken the subway, but we're planning to drive in a few weeks so I'm just wondering how the parking situation is and how much it costs.

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #22 on:** July 15, 2007, 09:05:46 AM »

We drove, we were going to do trains, but decided against it. Ask Bubba about the parking

coastersue · « **Reply #23 on:** July 15, 2007, 09:11:14 AM »

What about the parking, Bubba??? Do tell!

darkridedan · « **Reply #24 on:** July 15, 2007, 11:06:14 AM »

This was a really fun night. I thought I would be spending the afternoon in the art museum and the night holding my breath and gagging but instead I got invited to go to Coney Island which is much closer than SFA, unless Rob is driving.

We left Camden around 4:30 and drove around and Melissa seemed to appreciate it. Bubba let in one of the locals when he was greeted with a MT. Ephraim Ave thank you. We got off to 130S to 76E to 295N (otherwise known as a circle.) We got off Exit 6 of the NJT (or was it 295, or was it the NJT, 295, NJT?) where I made everybody stop at Wendys. I took 3 bites of a Laynard Sandwhich and felt car sick. Luckily traffic was backed up past exit 8 and I had plenty of time to get over it. But Bubba is a great driver and he got us through in no time. We got to take in the sites like these 2 GRLZZZ. They may have been on their way to or going from a softball game.

Bubba made his own directions to Coney Island. Tom's GPS recalculated the route 7 times. We parked next to the Cyclone as promised and headed in the opposite direction. W.T... O.K. Enough of this Tom Foolery. Onto the rides.

Wonder Wheel Silly little wheel. Ever wonder what it would be like if your ferris wheel car started falling from the top? Allot fun!

Spookarama? It should be called Spookalicous. Sure, it's one big room but you do allot of twisting and turning. I jumped and screamed a couple of times. There Rob. That's as nonsexual as I can make it.

Zipper Well, you have to ask for a crazy ride.

Spookazombiesomething Again Rob joined me. We had to be harnessed in like we were at SFGAdv. It was cute. I don't know if I jumped in there but it has a nice drop.

Cyclone JimVid joined us and he paid for 4 to loose their virginity on a coaster. He's awesome now. I rode in 3-2 with Tom while Rob, Melissa, Bubba and Jim rode behind us. It wasn't this ride that put the coaster in my top 10. I rerode by myself in the last row when it hopped, bounced and jumped it's way into my heart and into my top 10. It knocked out Viper from SFGAm out of my top 10. It was a giggily mix of small and curved drops and it was smooth at 80. I haven't laughed so hard on a coaster since my first ride on Lost Coaster and the Riverside Cyclone. And Bubba was right, it was like sliding down a staircase in a cardboard box. I rerode one more time with my friend Robert when the lap bar came down and bit me. I don't have a bruise to show for it. I'll spare a shot of my thigh for some other time.

Top Spin
OMG. What was that? Was I ridding an amusement park ride or floating through space? That was hilarious. Not my corny line but the ride. The Coney ride. OMG I need more sleep.

Breakdance Less is more.

Dante's Inferno These always suck.

Saturn 6 HA! I'll let the other guys cover this one.

We tooled around on a couple of kiddie coasters, the big guys rode the El Dorado bumper cars and rerode the Cyclone one more time, said goodbye to Jim and we were off at 12:15.

Rob will no doubt have allot more fun to share. Tom too. Thanks for the pics Bubba. Robb, I guess we could have picked you up. There was room where the dog and the groceries go.

If he had all of those cushions, why the lawn chair?

Apparently I swing allot.

Well thank you to everybody who got me through my long national nightmare. After working 80 hour weeks and being in and out of the hospital, I worked one week on the grave yard shift and went directly onto the first shift last week. I am glad I got to spend it with some of my favorite people. Thanks also to Robb who kept me awake!
