Photo TR: Clementon Lake

Just a short TR, I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking. On Saturday, the New Jersey region of ACE held an ERT session on J2 (formerly Tsunami) at Clementon Lake Park. Since I had such a great time last year, I decided to go again. There isn’t much to do at the park, so we didn’t arrive until after 5, and in that period we managed to ride the Ferris Wheel, train, see the tiger show, and just walk around briefly. J2 is an extremely aggressive ride. I prefer its brother Avalanche in the Dells to it, but its still the best wood coaster in New Jersey (for now, anyway). Thanks again to the Jersey region for hosting the event and opening it up to everyone! Enjoy the photos.

With the park closing, the ACErs line up for J2-nami ERT. (the food must not have been out yet)

Jill can resist no man with a waist pack large enough to store a Toyota Echo inside. Bret feels like he is truly at an ACE event

There's also a tiger show at the park. Here are 2 of the park's cats. They smell and they eat raw meat.

Here's a nice pretty picture I thought everyone would enjoy. If you don't enjoy this, please die

yup Swingman! TPR's favorite Clementon employee is still "gittin' it on"

And don't forget the Egypt themed Yo-yo. Which can only mean one thing.....

There's also a kiddyland...for those kids brave enough to face their nightmares

Which allows you to take this never before seen shot of J1 and J2, all in the same shot! INCREDIBLE!!!!

What else is there at Clementon? Well, there's this ferris wheel

Pay no attention to the Jack Rabbit station behind the fence

Speaking of Jack Rabbits, how's the park's first coaster doing? Oh, its still rotting away

After a bunch of rabid jack rabbits attack Pierre, South Dakota this winter killing 369 people, Clementon will be forced to change the ride's name again; something like No Offendo

Here's the evil doom helix. Beware if you choose an axle seat.

After a big tsunami wiped out lots of Southeast Asia, Clementon changed the coaster's name to J2, short for Jack Rabbit 2. Does anyone still remember last year's tsunami??

Here goes J2 into its severely screwed up 2nd hill

Here's Tsu-J2 in the distance. Look how steep the drop is...oooooooh

That has the best the coolest entrance to any kiddyland ever. LOL! Would that scare the kids who try to enter?

Great photos!

I personally hated J2. The first drop and the last two hills were great. The rest was overly agressive and rough!

When I visited Clementon, I got Swingman Jr. He still acted like he was smoking some weed.

The kiddeland looks pretty fun, even with the ghetto Dumbo ride.

I was underwhelmed by J2, but chiropractors everywhere must salivate at its very existence.

I was at CP for the ACE event too (my first time at Clementon), and boy was I underwhelmed. The place had the great bones of a classic amusement park, but it looked like it was taken over by carnies (the guy driving the train was one of the scariest park workers I have ever seen).

I found the scenery surreal (more pics on My Site):

We're an Indian family with a half-destroyed nylon teepee!

I'm a scary pizza monster!

A very sad sight when the bushes start growing through the coaster tracks...

Grrrrrr...I'm ghetto dog and I'm going to bite the train!

Those Injuns started making buffalo burgers out of me

Great TR Derek!

I hope that second hill is just as F'd up as it was last season. Great shot of the "Helix of Doom". That has to be one the most WRONG moments ever put on a coaster.

Did they card you to ride?

Damn ACER's!

Great TR!
