I'm Back! SDC PTR 7/31/09

It's obvious. I'm back. [:D] I would post my SDC PTR, but I don't feel like it right now, beings my camera was left in the car, and it's not here right now. I posted this in the TR section because I didn't feel like starting 2 topics, so whatever. Damn it feels so wierd to be on a computer right now.

EDIT: Ok, I feel like doing the PTR now. Caution: Bad and quickly taken pictures!
Anyway, we got to SDC around 11 Friday and waited about 40 mins. to get a parking space, beings SDC has only two lanes, and one guy taking money, you move up then to get your parking ticket. Went straight to Wildfire and rode twice. Powder Keg was next, and it had a fairly long line, and they only had two trains running, and they finally decided to add the third train right when I could see them transfer it, but my sis had my camera and she wasn't in line, so I didn't tape it. [V] It was a fun ride though, I lol'd at the soundtrack that goes like (hillbilly voice) Hey! That area's restricted! (Slow Mexican like voice) You're too close to that Nitro!) (Hillbiblly voice) You smell smoke? I don't feel like typing the whole trip, but I rode Wildfire (which has amazing ride capacity) about 4 times, Powder Keg twice, Giant Swing twice, Thunderation twice, a bunch of kiddie rides once, ect.
Anyways, pic time!


Meh.


cobra roll!


and more Wildfire


I forgot to take more pics of Powder Keg. [:(]

They love advertising this ride all over the park.

almost there!
wheeeeee!

Ugh, this thing is hard to take good pics of.



wheeeeeee!

more wheeeeeee!

Electrospin!

this one isn't that great, Joker is better.

I'm in the yellow.


THUNDERATION!

WHEEEEEE!

backwards seats ftw!

the train was supposed to be in that one, my camera is too slow. [V]

Coke in Souvinier cup before our departure.

I'm ready for next year, because there is a rumor that they are moving the wildcat there and removing some other ride that I can't remember what it is. I did pass the Wildcat a few times, but I didn't have my camera at the time. So sad to see it SBNO. [:(]

And here's Wildfire off-ride!


Comments?

SDC is an amazing park. What was your Favorite ride?

Probably Wildfire or Powder Keg, the Giant Barn Swing is awesome too.

I did not like Powder keg. But wildfire is still my all time favorite ride to date. And last time i was there the giant swing wasn't there.

What was bad about powder keg?

I think that Wildfire's Layout is quite possibly the best B&M layout to date. It's so simple, Drop, Immel, Loop, Cobra, Cork. It's still short, but I think that it was executed amazingly.

Wildfire's drop is simply amazing, and that is one of the best loops I've ever expirienced, and loops usually do nothing for me. looking at that corkscrew from the station really makes it look sexy, and shows the great heartlining.

Yes wildfire is truly awesome. The drop was so strong yet not overly strong. And i love the trains. I prefer the trains on wildfire than the floorless ones. As for powder keg, i found it rather uncomfortable, really shakey, and for a family ride it was way strong, stronger than wildfire. Then again i really don't like launched coasters (i love freeze and ttd but hate speed and powder keg).????????? But what about fire in the hole and thunderation? Besides wildfire i think these are the best rides in the park. And the american plunge log flume is really fun.

I'm not really a water ride person, sure I'll ride them, but I don't think they're worth waiting in line for with some exceptions. I never rode fire in the hole, and Thunderation isn't like an "OMG that was the best ride ever!!!" ride, it was more of a "wheeeeeee!!" ride.

^ They are alot of fun. You should ride them.

I rode Thunderation, not Fire in the Hole.

Oh ok.
