Well I decided I needed a few more credits and said what the heck i'll go to Kentucky Kingdom. I was actually kinda impressed by the place, yeah they may not have the best selection of rides but it was a pretty nice looking place. I think the only grief I had about this place was the fact that every coaster was only running one train (besides Road Runner Express of course) Although that wasn't much of a problem because there wasn't many people there at all. I think the longest I waited was 7 minutes for the front row of Chang! And I got all my credits in just over an hour.

I think my favorite part of the day was the sky coaster, which is 180 feet and only 15 bucks per person! Kinda makes dare devil dive (at SFGAm, my home park) seem like a rip off. Anyway I really really wanted to ride deluge but didn't bring a swim suit :( eh oh well i'll get over it. It also sucks that twisted twins had to go all SBNO on us

***EDIT***Heres The link to a short Greezed Lightnin Video I Made with on and off ride footage.

Ride Count.

Chang - 3 - This was a surprise for me, I found it to be great! After riding mantis and not liking it that much I was sceptacle of chang, but it was awesome! I dont know if I like chang or riddlers revenge better.

Greezed Lightnin - 30 - I finally got to ride Tidal Wave, and man it was great!!! Plus the crew was really quick and let you bring your camera onboard with permisson!

Thunder Run - 3 - Also another surprise for me, I really enjoyed this one, great pops of air and was fairly smooth.

Roller Skater - 1 - Whore.

T2 - AWFUL! It reminded me how much I hate SLC's idk why I thought the one in Mexico was good... But this one was certainly horrible. The whole time i was just saying to myself "Im doing it for the credit, I need the credit" not an enjoyable experience.

Road Runner Express - 1 - This one wasnt good either, every turn my leg slammed into this dumb bar and it killed, It was pretty rough and the cars were not comfortable at all, at least TDK is more modern.

I also went on The penguins blizzard river which was my very first rapids ride (yes iv'e never been on roaring rapids) it was pretty good and I came off drenched from head to toe, I think my socks were still wet on the 4 and a half hour ride home.... :? :lol:

There was a few other flats I also rode but dont really feel like remembering at the moment.

Onto the pictures!

Thank god they had an express lane for season pass holders or I would have had to wait in a rediculously long line to enter the park.

There is no doubt in my mind that you have been having an incredible amount of fun, believe it. I think I'm just a little envious because this whole season I've been dying for the kind of fun you've been having!

And as an aside, Chang certainly has had a haircut since you were there, to say the least. It's great that you got to ride it in the last season at the location it was basically born in.

yeah, i'm so glad I got the chance to ride it in its original home, it really is one of my favorite coasters too! I only started riding coasters at the beginning of the 2007 season, and SFKK was one of the first parks I ever reserched, needless to say I wanted to come here for a long time even if people dont like it that much, and I finally have and I actually like it!
