Day Three...Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom and Beech Bend!
Another amazing day with the TPR gang! This trip is beyond incredible. If you are even debating about doing a TPR group trip...just go, it's impossible not to have a blast.
SFKK was great! The park is not your "normal" Six Flags park. The staff was beyond friendly, operations were good, and they went above and beyond in every respect for our group! We had ERT in the morning on Chang, Twisted Twins, Greezed Lightning, T2, Deluge and the rest of the water park, even the kiddie coaster was open exclusively for TPR for awhile! I quite enjoyed Chang (credit #50!), found it to be really forceful, which is perfect! Deluge was incredible too! Deluge was great too, one of my favourite water slides, the LIMs are wicked. Kentucky Kingdom is definitely worth a visit!
Beech Bend is a pretty random park. Very old school, seems like a group of rides set up in a field. The looping star was pretty crazy, better than expected. The Wild Mouse was rough and lacked spinning, and the kiddie coaster was, well, a kiddie coaster. Kentucky Rumbler was awesome! It now sits in my #2 spot for woodies behind Voyage. The nighttime ERT was wicked! Nothing like getting on 10 rides in an hour!

- Winning a giant slide race is like being the smartest kid with down syndrome. Either way, you're still "special".
