Riding White Lighting 50+ times at Fun Spot America! 6/29/15

Yes, that's right, 56 times. I was only going to Fun Spot, so I wanted to make the most of it.
In the beginning of the day it rained, but it cleared up very soon, and I was able to marathon White Lightning, with time for a few other rides! It was definitely a fun day.
White Lightning: (8/10) For such a small ride, White Lightning packs a punch! With very nice floater airtime on each hill, it definitely beats many of the wooden coasters out there, and it only needs 70 feet to do it! The ride does have a little rattle, but it adds more to the ride than it takes! The ride isn't very extreme, but it surprises you with how much it does. After 56 rides, I can definitely say it gets boring after a while.
Freedom Flyer: (7/10) This ride is MUCH better than almost every single Vekoma junior invert. The lap bars are comfortable, unlike the OSTRs most other Vekoma Junior Inverts have. The ride also has a very good drop for a kiddie coaster, and some noticeable Gs on the helix! Overall, a good family ride!
Now on with the photos!

That's not a bad little coaster they got. I rode it last year in the off-season on a rainy day and it was very comfortable. It's not so big as to be excessively forceful, but not to small as to be lame.

Can very easily see how one could do an all day marathon on it and not feel like they were stuffed in an icebox and kicked down the side of the grand canyon.

Neat rides there. Looks like a park we should visit

I mean, I could see a skyloop there, but that's about it aside from flats. (and you could see a skyloop almost anywhere and no one will argue with you)

Looks pretty fun! Nice trip report.

Is it better in the front or the back?

^When I rode it I preferred it in the back. The drop is surprisingly good, and the train is short enough to make the rest of the coaster pretty much the same in all seats.

I literally want to say this is one cute park!

Definitely back, although the train is very short, so at first you might not notice much difference. This is also one of those coasters where in the back you can look behind you at the track going by and not completely freak out/die. It makes for a fun ride experience looking behind you the entire ride.

"White Lightning" is the very woodie I'd love to keep building in NL forever and a day! Kind of a short layout but packs a punch everywhere in bends and dips!

That sort of tweener ride the perfect marathoner.

My personal record was ~110 circuits on the Lakemont Skyliner, including at one point about 75 without getting off. Dead crowd on like a Tuesday, and an operator that didn't mind cycling the train with only one person in it, and would often check the speed a bit on the final break run, and only let people on or off about every 5 circuits, unless someone wanted off earlier. Mostly rode in the middle row of the back car...couldn't have done it on an axle seat.

The only reason I stopped riding was because the ops started making us walk around instead of staying on even though no one was riding at all.
