Closing Day 2008

“Bring Back WinterFest!”
Not long before I left, I looked at the clock, looked at the calendar, and since the weather was nice, figured I’d run down to the park for the last day, to get a last ride for the season on Vortex and take part in […]

Halloween Haunt
Saturday, November 1, 2008
“Thanks For The Memories!”
The last night of Haunt. basically just did shows, as the park was really crowded and I didn’t feel like standing in lines for the haunts when I’d already done them all in previous weeks, actually I did them all on Media Night.
Saw all four […]

“That’s more like it!”
Halloween night. I got to the park a bit later than I had wanted to, but still not awful. It was about 7:40 or so when I got in. I quickly went back to Rivertown and did Red Beard’s Revenge with only about a three […]

Saturday, October 25, 2008
“Hey Clifford!”
ACE/KIE Fall Freak Out. Went well, although due to not feeling very good when I got up I didn’t get to the park until 3, started out with the Diamondback construction tour. Afterwards we walked around, then I went out with a handstamp to get […]

“Time for a 3-way and more Dead Awakening!”
Yeah, I didn’t do very much. I got to the park and went straight back to Coney Maul and got a 3-way and a cheese coney at Skyline, then sat in the Skyline patio between Skyline and the Worksite haunt to […]

“That’s not very bad”
Met up with David Bowers and did some riding and Haunting. Overall a fun night. Urgent Scare was improved from Media Night with the addition of a bouncing platform and more detail on the outdoor portion after you exit the Action Theater building.
Son of Beast […]

“Dead Awakening!!!”
Media night for Halloween Haunt. Started off in the admin lot with Paul Bonifield and Zach Hardin from KIE. We got to ride in a rental ambulance from the admin lot back to Wings, where they’d set up a very well-done Fright Feast this year. […]

P&G Dividend Day 2008
Saturday, September 13, 2008
“Woof?”
Met up with Mike Strobel from Coaster-Net, who had gotten me a ticket for P&G Day. This was the first time I’d been to the park on a buyout. I’ll let the rides list do the talking here, but an interesting part of the trip was […]

“Holy crowd!”
Quick trip, primarily for the Carmen Electra cameo in Flashback. Got there and went straight back to Showplace, joining the line waiting to be let in. As soon as the roped dropped, I went in with the crowd and got a decent seat on the right side of […]

“Ugh, more country…”
Another trip for construction, live show photos, and some riding. County Line was another one I’m glad, just like Girls Night Out, that I only needed to see once for photos. Not a country person at ALL.
IJ’s driver was a moron… I got in line for it […]
