Busch Gardens Tampa Jan. 4,2010

 

It was a great little day at one of my favorite parks by far.

Got their early in the morning and the crowds were very light. Pretty much all the rides were walk on except for Sheikra, and remained that way for the rest of my stay. Re-rides on Montu and Kumba were great, but I couldn't stay as long as I wanted and had to leave around 4:50 P.M.

 

My ride opinions: [and ride counts]

Gwazi Tiger: [1] Not as rough as people say, and kinda fun. 6/10

Sheikra: [1] Still a fun little ride and the drop is still great! 8.5/10

Kumba: [5] This ride has gotten smoother than it use to be and I think I can easily say it's in my top three coasters now! 10/10

Scorpion: [1] A fun little ride with those great Schwarzkopf transitions and some nice forces. 8.5/10

Montu: [4] A great smooth ride and that Batwing seriously packs some strong G's! 9/10

Pheonix: [1] An ok little flat if you can get over the pain. 5.5/10

Rhino Rally: [1] Also pretty decent, the driver seemed pretty funny and into his job 6/10

Sky Ride: [1]

Jungala: [ ] A nice little addition, Was surprisingly a fun little area. 8.5/10

Then one last ride on Kumba and it was time to say goodbye. :[

KUMBA! ... and foreign people! I think about 60% of the people there were visiting from out of the country. It was crazy!

There are these passages that you can crawl through and as you see above, even under the aquarium!

Great trip report and video! I'm glad to hear that Kumba is running a little smoother now. I hope my trip was just on a bad day or something. Anyways, did you ride Wild Surge? It's NOT your standard frog hopper. Ever since that thing I have been in love with Moser's spring towers.

dude, there's always some group from Brazil or Argentina at BGA. I went once, and no ride was more than an hour, and when we went to Kumba, there were hundreds of backpacks on the bridge, and the wait was 2.5 hours!

 

I know and most of them get annoying and obnoxious. Now if they were coaster enthusiasts then I would of been fine with them..but they are not and they just...well let me just stop here before I ramble.....

 

And yes wild surge is a pretty fun frog hopper, my stomach tickled a lot I was laughing the whole ride and then some after the ride

Thanks for the report...I'll either be there on the 17th or 18th.

 

Also, when is Kumba scheduled for a paint job? It's REALLY showing it's age.

 

Kumba needs another paint job

 

 

PLEASE don't jinx me on this! I was there on what must have been the last time it was painted in 2006 because I never got to ride it and was extremely bummed.

 

I'm all for good paint jobs, but hopefully they'll wait till after the 18th!!!

January 9, 2010 - Winter Bash

___________________________________

 

Winter Bash or WB, was a small meet up for a closer group of us TPR'ers who just couldn't wait till SFGAm's opening day to see each other again.

 

The players: Me, Cameron, Jo, Griffin, Jeremie, and my friends Averi and Leah who joined us for tobogganing.

 

 

The game plan: First we all met at my place and we waited for Jo whom was running late.

Then we headed out to Takara. A BOSSOME hibachi grill restaurant! The chef was crazy and yelled out "YooHoo!" about every seven second's, and the food was pretty amazing to.

After that we headed to downtown Milwaukee to stop at Discovery World. It was pretty cool and we thoroughly enjoyed Shocking each other and Jo being scared to cross the "Fish Bridge".

Then to satisfy our adrenalin needs as Coaster enthusiast we headed over to the toboggan run at Whitnall Park. If you haven't seen my video I made before look down below. It was crazy fun and some of us have some nice battle wounds.

 

 

We then ended the day with dinner at my place, eating bubbles, and a session of Yo Gabba Gabba.

 

 

Over all it was an AMAZING day and I can't wait to see you guys again!

 

 

And now PHOTOS:

So there's this magnet board in my room... Apparently while we were at my house Cameron without me noticing. Was able to write out this without me noticing, and after he left he told me to go look for the message he left in my room. :D

Night time rides on the Toboggan run were AWESOME!

What a great day! Everything was so much fun. I have a bruise that is forming on my leg from tobogganing.

 

I would just like to point out that even though I wasn't focused getting there on time, I was focused at lunch, and tobogganing. Did anyone else get injured or was it only me?

 

Oh, and I wasn't focused on my way home because I received a text from Jeremie, and I missed the entrance to the highway. When I turned around, I was heading the wrong way because I wasn't focused. I finally got focused and made it home safe and sound.

 

And if anyone is wondering why I'm afraid of glass bridges with fish underneath them, I'm afraid I'll fall through and kill all the fish and drown.

My phone wasn't working for much of the day, so calling my voicemail and hearing the escapades / various adoring fanmail for me was freakin' hilarious. Nathan, was that last one while you were watching Yo Gabba Gabba? I was trying to listen hard, and all I could possibly come up with was DJ Lance for the voice.

Well Matt [and others], I planned this meet to be a smaller group[because of the fact we would be at my house for part of it]. Don't get me wrong your pretty Beastly. And there was talk about possibly doing more off-season meet in the future.

 

 

And yes, I use the same camera for both.

It's a Kodak V1073.

 

 

 

Edit: Yes Dan that was Yo Gabba Gabba :]

^Agreed. Here I thought the two of you were best of friends. Did you guys have a fight?

 

Lovers quarel.

 

I had a ton of other stuff going on, so I wouldn't of been able to make it. And I hate being outside in the cold, so I would have complained the whole day......wait, that's not any different than any other day.
