So, The 2010 season at my home park is here....
A couple of notes, Whizzer is sponsored by some movie I've never heard of, Magiquest looks like the stupidest thing Six Flags could have done, and ALOT of the rides were closed, just because nobody was there... I was most pissed about the red side of American Eagle being closed as it's pretty much my favorite ride at SFGAm.... blahh I have the rest of the season
Anyway, we were there for 2 and a half hours and rode Raging Bull 4 times, and then BTR, Dark Knight, SUF, and Giant Drop, I was more interested in pictures then rides, even if the pictures do suck due to cloudyness
I have to say though Raging Bull seemed like it was much better then I remembered from October, either that or the trim breaks were on lightly... I literally got airtime where I was suppose to, how awesome is that!! Not exactly ballstothewall Diamondback style airtime, but it will do... for now, seeing as I'll be riding Diamondback again next weekend I'll get my airtime fix then :)
Pictures... There's not alot, It was misting and I value my camera...

So, I accidentally took a 2 second video clip of Little Dipper unstead of a picture so you get this screen shot thingy, which even still you can't see very much, they have alot of the structure done..

Go get your season pass...... right.
A couple of notes, Whizzer is sponsored by some movie I've never heard of, Magiquest looks like the stupidest thing Six Flags could have done, and ALOT of the rides were closed, just because nobody was there... I was most pissed about the red side of American Eagle being closed as it's pretty much my favorite ride at SFGAm.... blahh I have the rest of the season
Anyway, we were there for 2 and a half hours and rode Raging Bull 4 times, and then BTR, Dark Knight, SUF, and Giant Drop, I was more interested in pictures then rides, even if the pictures do suck due to cloudyness
I have to say though Raging Bull seemed like it was much better then I remembered from October, either that or the trim breaks were on lightly... I literally got airtime where I was suppose to, how awesome is that!! Not exactly ballstothewall Diamondback style airtime, but it will do... for now, seeing as I'll be riding Diamondback again next weekend I'll get my airtime fix then :)
Pictures... There's not alot, It was misting and I value my camera...
