Photo TR: Wild Aventures in Valdosta, Georgia


Recommended Posts

Hello there!

 

1st stop: Vidalia, Georgia.

2nd: Wild Adventures!

3rd: Savannah, Georgia.

4th: Washington D.C.

5th: New York City

6th: Syracuse, NY.

7th: Colombus, Ohio.

 

So over my Christmas break, we went on a vacation, “we” being myself, my mom, and one of her best friends. The Friday that I got off of break, we left for Georgia. We drove there. That’s a veeeeeeeeeeeeery long drive! It took us about 26 hours total. We were in Georgia for one week visiting my mom’s friends family. While there, we went to Wild Adventures in Valdosta, and went to eat at Paula Deen’s restaurant, The Lady and Sons, which was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally good!

 

Next Saturday, we went to D.C. We drove past Kings Dominion. I305 was visible from the interstate, which with all the trees, you could see nothing but the Eiffel tower and I305. It is HUGE.

 

In D.C., we saw all the sites. It was a lot of fun. No, the Obamas weren’t there. They were in Hawaii. I love photography, so this was a ton of fun for me! The next day, we were going to go to New York City leaving at 6 a.m., but I woke up at about 4 a.m. with the sorest throat every very achy, and one of the worst fevers my mom said that I’ve had. She said it was the warmest she’s ever felt me be. We thought it was strep because I get that a lot, but it wasn’t. At 4 a.m., no doctor’s office is open, so we had to go to the ER. Ugh. It was laryngitis, but we got some medication and we were on our way. We ended up leaving D.C. at about 10 a.m.

We stayed in Jersey City and took the train to NYC. The first thing we did was walk around a bit, then went to TKTS. TKTS is a thingymajig in Times Square which gives huge discounts to Broadway shows, day-of only. The discount is usually 50%. The show we wanted to most see was Shrek: The Musical. I was hoping and praying we could see it. We waited over an HOUR in line in the BELOW freezing New York cold to hopefully get tickets to *A* show. We got to the front of the line and got the last THREE OF FOUR tickets!!! I was so happy! We didn’t get to sit together, but that was fine. Why? 2nd, 3rd, and 5th row seats. HOW FREAKING AMAZING IS THAT??? For those of you who don’t know, Shrek had its last run on Broadway a couple Sundays ago, January 3rd. This was one of the big reasons I wanted to see it.

 

A lot of people in the Wichita school district are going on a trip to NYC that happens every 2 years. About 7 of the shows they planned on seeing have closed. Shrek being one of them. So some people were mad at me that I got to see it.

 

SHREK WAS AMAZING. That’s all I have to say. Also, my dream is to be a Broadway performer. Music theater is my passion. The next day in NYC was very windy, but we got to see what we wanted and do some shopping.

 

We stayed in Syracuse for a few days. Nothing to report there.

 

We stayed in Colombus, Ohio for the night on our way home. My mom has friends there. We are going back this summer and I’ll be going to Kings Island. Possibly Cedar Point. Anyways, onto what you’re here to see, Wild Adventures!!!

 

This is the theme park where Zombieland was filmed.

 

We got to the park about 10 minutes before opening. There were maybe 20 cars in the parking lot or so?? Hardly ANYBODY. Like most big parks, they take your picture when you enter. They also do it throughout the park, even in the loading stations for some rides! It was really great! But anyways, hardly anyone was there. All day. The place was freaking deserted.

 

Boomerang: This was our first ride of the day. We first rode in the front. Not butter smooth, but it was still smooth enough. Then we rode in the back, mind you that we are the only people on this ride, let alone that entire section of the park. Back was smooth as well. I can’t ride Boomerangs a lot because the high g-forces give me a major headache. I was a little disappointed at how close the Tiger exhibit was to the Boomerang. It was RIGHT next to it. I’m sure the tigers get annoyed a lot.

Cheetah: Closed for that one million dollar renovation. WOW is that thing torn up! Sections of track are missing in places. I’ll have some pictures. I really wanted to ride it, but oh well.

 

Gold Rush: This coaster, I learned a couple of days ago, was removed to make way for the 3 new rides for 2010.

 

Space Shot: Closed

 

Fiesta Express: They let us ride This is a Zamperla mini-mouse. My mom actually got scared on this. Oh my gosh. That was embarrassing, BUT we were the only ones in that whole half of the park, so no one saw!

 

Hangman: My second SLC. Nice! We rode in the front because there was no wait, obviously. SMOOTH!!! Yes, a smooth SLC!!! So much fun! We wanted to ride again, but they made us go all the way around through the exit and back through the entrance. I know this is policy, but really? There’s no one even in this area of the park! We’re the only ones here! Oh well. Later, they let us stay on. Anyways, because no one was there, I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the wheels and what not. The next time, we rode in the back. It wasn’t as smooth. It was still good though. Front seat, FTW!

 

Swamp Thing (Vekoma Junior suspended): This thing goes directly over an alligator exhibit. LIVE alligator. Poor guy I’m sure things have dropped on him before. This thing was a little rough. You go around twice. It was alright. Nothing special, but good for a family coaster!

Bug Out: Fun little family coaster!

 

Ant Farm Express: Fun kiddie coaster. Actually, pretty intense for such a small ride!

 

I honestly don’t think this place is going to last. It is a great place, it really is, but there’s no one there! It’s several miles off of the interstate in literally the middle of nowhere. It just snuck up on us. It was kind of strange, actually. Location is awful for business.

 

They had a Safari Train, which was just like any other mini train you’d find at a theme park, but it goes throughout their animal section, which you can only see IF you go on the train. It also goes right by Cheetah, and depending on which route they choose, it can also go under and around Cheetah. This ride was the only one we waited for. Since they only had one train operating, that explains the wait. It was only like 5 minutes though.

 

There is a swampy path thingy that’s really cool! It’s just a lot of pathway right above swamp land and you get to see lots of animals. It’s cool.

The bird house was cool. Lorikeets come and land on your shoulder. Yay!

If you’re passing through, visit this park! If crowds are that minimal, you can get through it all in less than an hour. There really isn’t anything in the area for vacations, but I believe it’s not very far from Orlando. Go to this place. It’s neat!

 

ADMIN EDIT: Just changed "PHOTO TR:" to "Photo TR:". Nothing major, so keep up the good work!

This poor gator is right under the Swamp Thing. good themeing, but I really don't feel it should be there. I'm sure things have dropped on him/her before.

IMG_4403.JPG.3e6f14cfa31664533af5e3931f4f123c.JPG

Tia, the totally awesome bird-lady!!! she was really cool and we talked to her for a while. Yay for employees who enjoy their job and are fun to talk to!

IMG_4401.JPG.10f03f721158fc417069c10e1d7cb7fe.JPG

She looks like she's trying to smile. She was actually mouthing "Get that f!@#$n camera off of me"

IMG_4400.JPG.dc9f47602a17738ec3b6ee535a2635d3.JPG

She's trying not to be scared.

IMG_4399.JPG.8ffa523a3ecd2cc63a5648cd587b7bb2.JPG

They also have lorikeets/parakeets (Idk what they're called) As you can see, mom isn't too happy about this.

IMG_4398.JPG.4b88809d5f82bec74238a6a9d37af25b.JPG

He's soooooo pretty!

IMG_4397.JPG.83473800c7e4f2a4981f0db3a90de8be.JPG

After Swamp Thing, we decided to go look at some animals. We passed by this. The worker was being followed by this little guy. She says he follows her everywhere.

IMG_4395.JPG.0ba125c55cbd4347878b9983a88a061b.JPG

People looked way too scared on this ride.

Kinda artsy-fartsy?

One of the longest waits of the day.

Dammit, people.

IMG_4369.JPG.b9ccd48355664747aa16deab187a6b04.JPG

You know, this would have been a GREAT picture had there have been riders in the front!

IMG_4368.JPG.2c3bb48225b64a52b1a68bec33afa52d.JPG

Well, there's a train now, but no people.

Somewhat close-up shot of the track.

IMG_4357.JPG.ed1963171583ad42147a99ccc5599618.JPG

Because we were the only people in this section of the park (which means there was nobody else on the ride) I decided to take some pictures of the train.

IMG_4356.JPG.e5ef28d1037d8af6f4cdd757fc1f0fea.JPG

IMG_4355.JPG.17674473e9bf6d65adf13488cd6fca64.JPG

This used to be an artsy shot ... Until the trees moved in.

IMG_4354.JPG.cbc15b540176f0ff930efcaf7244e23c.JPG

This is right next to the Hangman. I wanted to ride, but it was closed.

IMG_4353.JPG.521fa95944a707177854c6cb99de35ea.JPG

Walk-on!

Ah, there it is!

IMG_4347.JPG.22baa545b776536a64aef3c1b3b7158e.JPG

Just like the Sidewinder that was at Wild West World. This ride will make you siick.

IMG_4346.JPG.cdfc8c41030dafae3fca0f868c1a98dd.JPG

*Sigh*

IMG_4344.JPG.5c9277db7d7bd766d5988534219d9703.JPG

I believe this is one of the 3 new rides they are getting this year.

IMG_4340.JPG.073a428b8897a46df1c0f071462fac44.JPG

The tiger exhibit is way too close to the Boomerang. Kinda made me sad. Actually, all the exhibits are too close to rides.

IMG_4339.JPG.73dc070fd17c9240d6d1ee12587f7af2.JPG

IMG_4338.JPG.c59026bd06353ce813d61d6b3d8372ba.JPG

Aww!!! Pretty kitty. *Pets chin*

IMG_4337.JPG.6f38af2ffc9785c000dc473729b5f495.JPG

Ah, an SLC. So pretty.

IMG_4336.JPG.e14f7f7a7a4029906cd231f1512d263e.JPG

A LAKE!!! and stuff across it

IMG_4335.JPG.a975f8e7f071ed71ebb30a05fa54218c.JPG

... Alright, guys! Let's stop playing hide-and-seek :]

IMG_4334.JPG.7645799dac576c60d57dd060116f7a2b.JPG

*Orgasm noise*

IMG_4333.JPG.c286b57944c5a05485ca082dc2e2ff46.JPG

Tri-support! Let's take a closer look ...

IMG_4331.JPG.49849b1decdeef974afe116509abe75e.JPG

Boomerangs are very small rides. Fun though :)

IMG_4330.JPG.209bb67df1ab68257d8ff8b4e960fecf.JPG

I spy a Boomerang

IMG_4329.JPG.529afc146b22dc1635f7db661f7d0ea5.JPG

Woot for Vekoma roller skaters!

IMG_4328.JPG.8373ff2b5b336eeb985beccadb42cdb1.JPG

So many cloaking devices!

IMG_4327.JPG.a6dc00c0ce380361e4cf43aa6483856a.JPG

Our adventure begins :D

IMG_4326.JPG.008c760d35cbbd69abfd9763c0fc157a.JPG

We're now in the park. He's a nice little eating plaza. I like how it's not on the ground that way people don't come running through you and knock your stuff off. There's also a big dining area inside.

IMG_4325.JPG.f84e68182598bd3ee12db8c28bfffe7a.JPG

Lord Farquaad says: A PRETTY PONY!!! Don't worry, this whole Shrek phenomenon ties in with the trip.

IMG_4324.JPG.011ca349c809748642769b2088bd5cd1.JPG

Umm ... I'm sure more people will show up soon :)

IMG_4323.JPG.ea69e9ec3850916a699052a9ce289d6b.JPG

Wait a second. THIS IS THE ENTRANCE? Where is everybody?

IMG_4322.JPG.fe4c8d14df2dd300be1b064c77aed939.JPG

Uhhhh ... I'm sure the entrance is just far away, hence why no one is in this area of the entrance plaza.

IMG_4321.JPG.e613c1accd0996b01bc5f1991c93513f.JPG

Ahh. Nice, small, pretty signage.

IMG_4320.JPG.a265b39e31b03974eeb99586870a753f.JPG

The ferris wheel says we are at Wild Adventures. If you do not agree, a big, green ogre will come and attack you.

IMG_4319.JPG.960b973d48fc69bf097292e163f0273c.JPG

My mom and her bestie, Dan.

IMG_4318.JPG.dddf2346df1d5222f281eb7560e02210.JPG

Um, where is everyone? The park opens in 10 minutes.

IMG_4317.JPG.597044508aa4b8f1b84bc3b456693797.JPG

We're here :] Close parking spot.

Bug Out and a pretty big flag. It was probably made in China.

Such a pretty coaster.

BTW, they actually have alligators in this lake. I thought they were kidding, but they aren't.

IMG_4524.JPG.b47d6f9029071459e99f4e17b5d59abc.JPG

Notice how this entire section of track was TAKEN OUT?

That's the pentagon! We drove by it thinking about how a plane ran into it. It was kind of scary thinking about it. The building is HUGE.

There it is. The giant penis.

Mom in front of David Letterman's show. It was next door to Shrek. She left her makeup on from the day before. She was regretting it. Lol.

After waiting in line for over an hour, we got the LAST THREE of four tickets for Shrek. We didn't get to sit together, but we did get good seats. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th row.

Many people in NYC are foreign, so I can understand that there will be some spelling mistakes every now and then :)

^ I'm guessing that you can ride that Ferris wheel? That'd be cool!

 

Also, when I saw that Candyland display, I thought about a dark ride themed to Candyland. Whoever designs that could have a lot of fun with it.

 

Your picture of Dan with the Washington Monument behind him was one of my favorites from your report. That really looked nice.

 

I hope someday to get to Washington DC.

Wow - great pictures! You guys were all over the place. If you went to the Lady and Sons - you were less than a mile from my house! Love me some good southern fried butter!

 

Thanks for the TR - I really enjoyed the photos, and haven't been to NYC or DC in a long time so you really took me back.

Nice photos and report of Wild Adventures. While not a great park, it still loks like it'd be a nice place to visit.

 

Also, how does Wild Adventures even stay open? I know it is Janurary, but whenever I see a trip report of the place, which is rare, the park is empty. Although, I don't see why it gets all the criticism that it does as it looks like a nice park. Sure they'll take Vekoma over Intamin, but for a fairly new park, it has an impresive ride selection.

 

Nice pictures of NYC and Washington DC too.
