The Master Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 That is why I never go to parks on a Saturday, the park would be miserable from being so crowded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Nope, no fireworks tonight because the wind didn't cooperate ^ That is good to hear! Did they have the fireworks tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thanks Christian! I wasn't able to make it out to the park tonight, but now I don't feel so bad! There is always next Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 There was 34,000 people there, you didn't miss much besides huge masses o' humanity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 It's so weird how 34,000 feels like a big crowd now. That used to be an average Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 That is why I never go to parks on a Saturday, the park would be miserable from being so crowded. That's how I feel, it's no fun to be standing in line for 30+ minutes (I know lines were probably much longer than that for the major coasters) when I am used to going on slow days when most lines are 0 - 15 minutes.

The Master Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I was at the park yesterday and I took a look inside the sim theater. They ripped out all the queue railings and are using the space as storage for prizes. Seems like for every new ride GADV installs they remove at least two old rides.

GAcoaster Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 At 12:10 today El Toro gave its 1 Millionth ride of the season! They're doing an amazing job on Toro this season! Pictures of the 1 Millionth Rider and the great ride crew are up on the park's Facebook page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I've been posting little note updates in the AmusementPics.com 2010 Gallery Here are a couple of updates from the past few days: FrightFest Auditions were taking place tonight-- New signs as you enter the park-- Best of the West now feature Turkey Legs-- The Log Flume has a pretty bad leak-- There's a lot of gum on the pavement-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scipiomask Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 All these ads in the park is getting disgusting. Someone goes to a theme park for a day of fun where they can forget the "outside world". All these ads do is greedily bring the world back in. Cedar Fair doesn't have ads like this in their parks, how come we have to have them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 The leak is new there, there's a small one slowly washing out the underside of the station under the stairs. It's been there a few weeks now and everytime we go more of the dirt is gone. It's a seam that's been refiberglased before, looks like the flume could use a new troughway!

It was part of something I just can't remember. It was one of the Mystery trivia questions while back. I think they said it was part of a waiting area? Dont hold me on it though.

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 As best as I can tell, the tan covered bench was added in 1977. The earliest photo we have of it is from June 1977. My guess would be that the bench was added as a convenience for guests waiting for riders on the Flying Wave and Traffic Jam rides. Prior to the 1977 season, the Calypso was situated next to the Traffic Jam ride. It was moved further back for 1977 to the current site of the remote boats next to the Jolly Roger. The bench could have been added to help fill the void of the moved Calypso. The seat was not associated with a ride - not even the Great Train Ride station which it resembles. Here is a photo of the bench from 1990: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
