Pics of new slushe stand+more. Sunday June 3, 2012, BEST TRIP IN 13 YEARS

[Paul9251]

It was supposed to be a rainy day but we decided to risk it. I went with my uncle and father. It was on and off rain all day and kind of chilly but it didn't matter. EVERY ride was a walk on. We rode every ride multiple times. (Only rides we skipped were Turkish Twist, the Carousel, Dragon coaster, Tiki maze, and the water rides) At one point I was the only person on corkscrew. Psychodrome was pretty cool. The strobes were nice but the music was really low and I mean really low. I noticed the new cameras installed. I have a pic of the monitor below. I don't know what influenced them to install cameras but I did suggest it via email. Frisbee seemed like it was spinning a lot faster. On this 40 person ride it was just me my uncle my dad and another guy. And another time it was just us and two kids. The worker even thanked us for balancing ourselves out, we knew we were going to have to anyway. He also thanked me for putting the restraints next to me down. I knew there wasn't going to be anymore people since he was already doing it. Skater was down pretty much all day except at one point. Boarding the ride the seat was filled with water. Now I know this is to be expected on a rainy day, but this seat isn't like other seats on other rides. It retained all of the water even after they ran it with nobody on it. But the ride op did come over and clear all of the water off to a decent amount the wouldn't completely soak our pants for the rest of the day. By the end of the day the park was like a ghost town. We must of missed the announcement of the early closure when we were on Untamed because when we got off there was no one in sight. We walked from Untamed all the way to the Mine and saw no one so we kind of figured the park was closed. And the fact the Mine was pitch black inside was another clue of the park being closed. Overall it was an AWESOME day. Even with the early closing we definitely got our moneys worth with all of the rides we rode.

Ride malfunctions?: At the end of our ride cycle on Skater the ride wouldn't stop moving back and forth. They were little motions but it did this for a little while. Right after we got off the ride was closed for the rest of the day, again. On Pirita the ride took a while to start. It was even stopped and then started again. When will this ride be rehabbed? I posted the Cannonball brake problem in the Cannonball 2012 topic.

Mine of Lost Souls additions I put in the MOLS topic. (Some additions include water cannons, LCD monitors in the ride, and some new lighting)



Of course...


New monitor for the cameras. Why is there a camera aimed at the operator? Is it for proof of incompetence? But are the cameras even recording?


I think he holes are from the warning sign that used to be there. Is the sign even still there?


For $8.75 it better be a pretty big cup.




Gloomy day on the lake.

Only ones on this too.


This arcade just seems dead lately.


Haven't rode this in almost a year. I finally got to see the sign in person in the daylight and not being chased by a guy with a chainsaw.


Can anyone tell what this is? Pretty easy.


This was a definite plus of the early closing.

Good report. i have always liked that they say they will not offer rain-checks but normally always do.

[Paul9251]

Thanks. I was really hoping we would get the ticket. It makes a nice free day trip. (except gas)

I'm glad you had a great time despite the early closure! Don't you just love quiet days?

[Paul9251]

They definitely are awesome!

Nice report! Still a little tippy about the corn thing but i can't wait to see it!
It is nice to see that the lake arcade finally re opened after renovation.
The first time i went, the portifino was closed... anyone know why?

[Paul9251]

Thanks canobie#1. I think once the corn stalks grow in and some props and actors are in there it will look cool. Not sure why Portifino was closed. I don't remember if it was closed when I went. Dancing Bear was closed though.
