Bubba Z Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I had heard about WG and never thought much about going, but after I heard it was up for sale in August and now reading a post about all the rides for sale I'm glad I went. The only thing I really wanted to ride was of course the Cyclone. It all started when I saw the video. When the Quaker gets out of the train and says "I'm going to Kill you" After seeing that, I knew I had to ride. The park is just like you see in pictures. Gravel paths, huge fields with rides randomly dropped anywhere. The first thing we did was park at the speedway and cross the street where you come to a bridge and the admissions booth. So I paid my 3 dollar admission fee, get handed a ticket and walk half a step where I give it to a security guard. This is where it Kind of felt like I was in Willy Wonka without the chocolate. He proceeds to swing the gate open and with his free hand does the slow motion backwards hand gesture and tells us welcome and enjoy the park. The pictures tell the rest, except the Cyclone was unreal. The straight run after the turnaround drop is a killer. Enjoy! one more last shot leaving the parking lot vey cool , only if I could have fit I was so ready Hannah "It Smells in here" here comes Randle the part leading up to where your body crumbles into a million pieces view from the train ride crazy lift hill. But this was the real reason for the trip. Rode 3 times, twice free in the back! So we watched a magic show and scored these after the show. All I could think about was that line from from Chasing Amy Nintendo friendly Hannah and her 25th credit. One cycle was 15 laps compared to the four you get on HSTC. Than we did the Michael Jackson fun house! to bad the barrel was broken at the end. They even had old 99 trains from Dutch Wonderland, unless they had them first ? up next was a round of golf for a dollar very smooth and fun turn the corner to find Disco star and the Wildcat than you walk a couple more feet to mr. stix pass the famous laser tag church than it's a ten minute cycle on the tilt a whirl. first you pass the water slide Since 1850, and just think I've only been here once.

YoshiFan Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Nice photos, that Old Engine 99 train is weird to see there. I wish Dutch Wonderland would have kept the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool that it still exists but: taken from the website "OLD 99 TRAINS Scenic kiddie train ride. Must be under 54" tall to ride. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Very... interesting theming. What's with the railway crossing sign, the cow, and the blue Eiffel Tower? Also, I've noticed that Robb posted a POV of the Cyclone in the members only forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
