Groteslurf Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 5/29 Busch Gardens Europe I expected a lot of this park and BGE was great. Final shot. Sinking ? Apollo's Chariot : the flat part near the water after the second hill is awesome. Some more Griffon ^ Interlocking goodness. It's great on front row because of the 'hanging'. But it's GREAT on backrow. This gimmick is SO great although you don't notice it on the ride. This was btw my 300th credit. Griffon : my favorite ride at BGE ^ ^ Great B&M invert. Alpengeist : the long first drop is great. Wow ! Darkastle. I didn't know they had a 'Spiderman' attraction at BGE. I adore that type of attraction although I must say I preferred Spiderman over Darkastle. Big Bad Wolf : another Arrow I love. I wonder what the forces would be if that last drop would not be trimmed. I loved this Arrow. Those interlocking loops are looking great. Inside it gets hot though. This a an amazing waterride.

SFAfan#1 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Nice BGE update! It looks great. I havent been there since 06 and plan on getting back there to ride Griffon Escape from Pompeii and Appollos Chariot. It was a very crowded day and I didnt make it over to Itlay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 5/30 : Six Flags America Last park of our tour. We only had a few hours in this park as our flight was scheduled at 5 pm. Crowds were very light so we didn't even have to get a flash pass. Shaky, pointless helixes, no airtime on the first hills. Unfortunately it was a disappointment. We expected a lot of this. Batwing : I liked this one better than the one at KI. A lot of steel. Joker's Jinx : best ride in the park. I heard gp's say that it's an excellent ride. I don't agree. Roar : an impressive woodie. Wild One : good woodie except at the point where the track gets straight again after the turn around. Two Face : closed Entrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Summary : We drove 2364 miles & visited 13 different parks. I got 110 new credits including my 200th credit (Chang) and 300th credit (Griffon). We only rerode the coasters we really liked so we ended up at 151 coasterrides in total, 221 inversions, 88 miles of track and about 16500 seconds of coasterriding.

jslim39 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 awesome TR! thank you for doing such a great report of my home park, Kennywood, glad you loved the coasters there Also, Hersheypark was sweet too. Can't wait to go again and see if Wildcat is any better that last time with the new trains, and of course Fahrenheit, Stormrunner and Great Bear. -AWESOME- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
