My first tirp to the park this year was simple. I needed to get my pass/parking and so on, so I took a ride early Thursday to beat the rush this weekend. I was in and out of the Season Pass Center in about 5 min.
I took a walk with camera in hand to the employee parking lot for a look at Wicked Twister, it is huge and yes the web cam does not do it justice, the ride is just huge. It was not running while I was there, but I was aware that they were filming a commercial. I got stuck on perimiter road for about ten min while they were filming something, I saw a truck with a mounted camera parked behind Cedars.
While driving around perimiter road I noticed what had to be some remaining parts of Vertigo sitting behind Mean Streak, so as of Thursday most of the ride was still on site.
Blue Streak look's...well...blue, I noticed a lonley Sawn Boat sitting between Blue Streak and the picnic pavilion. The only ride that was running was Power Tower, there is (was) a crane doing some work in the first turn of MF not really sure what they were doing, the blue train was on the transfer, red was still in pieces, so I assumed the yellow was on the track but I saw no sign of it.
I ventured further down the road to the Soak City lot, film crews were busy on that side as well. Just as I turned into the lot...behold more swan boats neatly in a row waitng to be carried home. On that note this is where I headed home, stoped at Speedway for my frozen Moutian Dew and headed back.
A nice trip, but next week should be even better
Have a great Summer!
