On saturday Stacy and I, made a trip to Six Flags Great Adventure, only about an hour away .

 

Seemed like the cool temperature and early opening kept the crowd away. This was good since el toro, batman, rolling thunder(not really an issue), and nitro were only running one train. Unfortunately we left before kingda ka started up(wind probably keeping it not in operation for the beginning part of the day, since skyscreamer also was not always running) due to a devils game that evening.

 

But we got in an these rides: el toro, rolling thunder, bizarro x3, mine train, sky ride(more for convenience, although the wind made it more sketchy), skull mountain, (missed out on my last credit: guy got stuck in kiddie coaster), batman x3, dark nightx2(re-ride), nitro, deja-vu, and green lantern. Superman was "closed" after green lantern nbd(was running when we made it to the parking lot).

Good Photo TR. Was there anything closed that day? I am visiting SFGAdv in a few weeks.

 

Skyscreamer and kingda ka were down when the wind was a problem. Road Runner Railway closed after a guy got stuck on it, Blackbeard's Lost Treasure Train was closed(afaik), and superman/nitro had some time when they were down although probably not that long for each. The rapids and the log flume were closed.

VTafro the credit whore.

 

Last saturday included an early stop at six flags great adventure, a trip to brooklyn for some quality beer, and a devils game. Sunday was a credit trip to Bowcraft and wrestle mania.

 

We got to the park between 9 and 9:15 grabbing one of the closest non-upchared parking spots. After a little breakfast we headed in for the season pass holders early entrance and "ERT" on nitro. Not sure if it was just because of the temperature or the wind but i haven't been on nitro before when it had that much of a B&M rattle; after 2 laps we had enough.

 

After waiting for the rest of park to open, i finally got my credit on road runner railway a picture with proof is below. Who wants a video?

 

After that two laps on kingda ka, still happened to be pretty windy, so neither ride was the best I've had on ka. Superman was our last target but with our agenda for the day we left the line after it was announced they would be adding a second train. This however allowed us to ride the skycoaster which was amazing sorry no photos we were both riding.

 

Some great beer at TØRST in brooklyn, followed by another devils loss ended my day on a sad note.

 

Sunday was a quick trip to bowcraft, go both credits in and left promptly after.Crossbow's operation was quite poor. Wrestlemania made for a great first wwe live event. Definitely an experience. Enjoy the picture below.

It's been awhile, just got back from the tpr midwest tour, and noticed we have a new multiple file upload feature, lets try this out.

 

April 27th stacy and I went to kneels, it was opening day i believe. Pheonix was awesome, twister was running nice, and the drop tower StratosFear reinforced how awesome those style of towers are. Also rode the kiddie coaster and the flumes for the first time.

 

Time for pictures
