SFFT 8-14 a.k.a. Jakizle's "Quest" For 100

So 100 what, you may ask? 100th "credit?" Nope. 100th ride on a ride in the park? Nope. But when I woke up this morning knowing that half of the schools in San Antonio were starting, I knew I had to take advantage. As I get ready I remembered talking to Matt about how many inversions he went through on a trip to Thrope Park. So I came up with the idea of trying to do 100 inversion on my trip today. I told him my plan, and he jus though I would get sick :p. Yet I went to the park and demolished my goal, going upside down 150 times. I have tot hank the crowds and the awesome ride ops for allowing me to do this, as I only had 6 hours in the park today. As I upload the pics that I took, I'll leave a little riddle to get you guys interested, First person to answer save Dcs, Ck, and Matt will get 500 points for the heck of it. So, I will tell you that I rode Boomerang once, and I rode another ride with inversions 9 more times then the other ride with inversions. So how many rides did I have on SKC, and how many on Poltergeist?

Can we use calculaters?[lol]

4 times on Superman and 18 times on Poltergiest?

Lol, why not...pictures coming soon.

15 on each?
Wowzers for 150, most I've done was uhmm...about twenty at SFMM on a crowded day in 4-5 hours.

Damn I did the calclations for 100rides and I think im still wrong![lol]

Hyper_Goliath, read the clue more carefully...one ride had 9 more rides than the other. Photos coming in another post now, with a TR to follow once ya'll guess.

18 on Superman and 9 on Poltergeist, sounds like a fun day.

Photo Portion:


The entire city of San Antonio came out to the park today.


In other news, the boardwalk has been boarded up.


A gerstlauer spinner will be sitting here come 2007.


Heres a look at most of Poltergeist.


Same caption as last photo.


Rattler is back there somwhere.


Scream is just so pretty.


A guy with "Super" in his name also lives here.


He has nice curves if you ask me.


The line today was 5+ hours!


He goes upside down six times, with three of them being shown here.


Another look at those three.


This is where people start to go Wee!


Incase you haven't noticed, the ride does interact with a 100 foot quarry wall.


A loopdie loop without anything in the way.


Stupid big fat supports got in the way.


Polty was a people eater today.


This train ride scurrs me.


Wait for the arrow ride that does have complete heartlining in some places! Go arrow!


This ride will colapse some day.


The turn between brake runs has more banking than anywhere else on the ride.


This track is about to slam against the station and hurt me.


The Road Runner flies over the sleeping A train.


Incase you didn't know, Rattler changed names and was equipped with a water splash to make it more family friendly.


Just kidding.


The front row was walk on. I feel bad for the people in the back.


A last look.


The Texas weather hates SFFT.


See?


About that ride with "Super" in it's name...I found it.


I wish.


Same angle from my video.


I only posted this because I noticed something behind the trees.


More vertical goodness.


Those three inversions for the third time.


Here's the loop, through the trees, through the brake run, and through the train.


Little do I know I'm about to get screwed.

Thanks for looking, and some text is to follow.

rofl ya, mostly it was to comment on the 150 inversions! i think i would've been sick two or three times! lol [:D]

Guitarplayer got it...and yup, I'm still dizzy.

18 * 6 = 108
9 * 4 = 36
1 * 6 = 6

108 + 36 + 6 = 150


Enjoy the photos guys.

Photos are good. Now you'll get all of us counting inversions when we hit the parks.

woah woah woah...

Gertslauer's comin to SFFT? When did this come up?

News articles, and the fact that SF purchased two Gerstlauer Spinners...I say one for SFFT and one for SFSTL and even Screamscape agrees with me.

SeaWorld SA is also getting something big, prolly another Mack Journey To Atlantis.

yea I did research, there were also rumours of a spinner goin to SFoT. Now no offense, but SFoT hasnt gotten a roller coaster since Titan. They need a new flare, and a spinner would go great with the park theme if it was called "Texas Twister". But its an uphill dream for me

maybe in '08 ::sigh::...[V]

Its been since 2000 for SFFT, and the park deserves it...they have gotten a Golden Ticket for 7 straight years.

Supposedly Shapiro really likes the park too and a spinner would fit great back in the boardwalk area where most of the kiddle/family rides are located.

1999 for SFStl. And our only other family coaster is was the FIRST coaster there.

I still have yet to go there. I want to ride that man of the super!

Yeah, speaking of drought, we got in trouble for leaving our sprinklers on too long.[B)]

Loved the photo's. And the sarcasm you used was funny[lol]. Good work.
Ive pushed 150 anyway. I went to Busch Gardens Tampa on a freakishly cold day in early January, not a soul in the park.

Sheikra-14 times, 14x1=14
Kumba-7 times, 7x7=49
Montu-6 times, 7x6=42
Python once, 1x2=2
Scorpion-3 times, 3x1=3

Not quite 150 but 110 is anough imo. Great trying to get to sleep at night isnt it[lol].
Good stuff mate.

I wouldn't expect shapiro to put a roller coaster at that park any time soon.

since 1996 for my home park (adventureland), but you cant call that a coaster, so its really been since 1993. [:(]

Why mot? If we would give any park a coaster IMO it would be SFFT...

He said himself that SFFT is getting a large family attraction...plus a construction wall is up...just wait and see.
