Great little TR! I feel like I always hear about Elitch's but don't really have much of an idea of the park as I don't go out of my way to research it. I had no idea they had an Arrow shuttle, I've always wanted to try one.

And I don't think I had any idea of that Lakeside park's existence. I LOVE those drop towers. They are definitely super intense, with their little flat seat and very basic restraint. The drop is just so fast, and they don't seem to stop until you're just feet from the ground. Easily my favorite type of tower.

I wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.

How long have they had that drop tower at Lakeside? I wonder if it's the old Mind Melt from Bell's... I know they're getting Bell's old Hymalaya for next year.

Holy crap you have a HUGE donkey!

Lakeside launched a new website, which includes the 2011 Hours (except for July: They tell us the times the park was open in the third century instead of when it will be open this year ;) ).

EDIT: ↓ Yeah, the old site was probably one the worst websites I have ever seen. Sad as it is, this is better.

^Still a very lacking site, but if I recall the old one correctly, it's an improvement in terms of information!
