Good God I'm getting lazier each year. As usual high-quality pics are available through PM's, though there aren't really any I'm impressed with thanks to the absolute-garbage weather.
Got there around 715am. The traditional White Castle breakfast was canceled because nobody answered the drive through. Bastards!
Gurnee rollers would have a field day here if they really cared
So what do I do this early?
Watch Clerks, of course!
About 10 minutes later friends showed up. Fun was had.
Fast-forward about 2 hours later... ALLLMOSSST THERE!!
Instead of the Carousel Song they start the day by flipping an overszied lightswitch. Awesome. :roll:
First coaster of 2010 ended up being SNAKES...
...ON A TRAIN!!
Followed by Robert DeNiro the Ride
Afterward I decided to go back to my car to get rid of some stuff I was carrying around, but as I walk past Carousel Gifts... OH SHI-
Worst. Photoshop. Ever.
ComEd markings near the Hurricane Harbor fence.
Honk for Fiero shots!!
HONK HONK HONK HONK
Phone conversation: "Hey I'm back in the park. Meet me at Carousel Gifts... be prepared to sh!t bricks!"
Old and new!
(relax, nothing was stuck to it)
Excuse me, sir? Would you guys like a picture? I just need you to stand right there, 3, 2... mmkay
10 steps later...
Excuse me, sir? Would you guys like a pictu- mmkay!
20 feet later...
Excuse me, sir? I just need you to sta- mmkay!
Did Rue le Dodge but no pictures. Lost my GumCam and phone so I ended up going back, someone turned them in. :awesome:
I declare this the day a million ACEr's :bricks:
Giggity!
Fanceh new pics inside Carousel Gifts. We could tell which ones were new and which ones were on file.
Why don't you take a seeat...
"Take your pants off and jacket off"
Yessir folks, that there is Chang... that one footer. AMAZING!!
This sign needs a-changin'
oh God, that was a bad punTime for BK, and our parking lot finds for the day...
The only thing short of making this a
true ACEr car is the fact that it's not painted like an Arrow train.
Self-explanatory.
In case folks haven't figured it out, this here's the exit.
April showers bring April flowers.
As we're walking back in the Red Bull girls stopped and gave us free Red Bull!
Unfortunately, she doesn't come with the free can.
Its-a gettin' foggy hurr!
It says "FEAR THIS" on the windshield... because everyone should fear a Pasaat with the shopping cart paint scheme to match the handle on the back :roll:
Hey, it's our friend again, and he wants another picture!
We just did BK, but there's always room for Mack in the Box
"Why So Bicurious?"
Wanted to ride its older brother, but the lady at the entrance says I can't wear my camera around my neck, tucked into my hoodie. First turndown since the lockers went in. Bastards.
Fine, V2's more fun anyway...
Little Dipper's looking spiffy!
Looks like a car on the track.
Now it's dippin with the bulls!
LOL DONGS
1 flag.
6 flags!
So this is Far... er, County Fair Food Court. Which I guess looks OK considering the new structure resembles the new Lake County Fair's building.
Scary Discover ads were found all throughout the park.
Mandatory ride on Demon...
Hey, it's the Karate Whiz Kid!
...with roundhouse kicks to the long line!
Round and round!
In case you missed the first set of ads...
Now's time to chill out!
Whizzer the red-nosed coaster! Had a very ugly nose! And if you ever saw it, you would even say "oh crap!"
Such a deal! KFC was totally ripping me off!
Rode Orbit, failed some attempts at motion shots:
Demon was down, I was told they would have to push or winch this train because of that last car still hanging on the incline
All aboard the emo train, just as soon as it comes out of hiding...
Fly like an eagle!
We love Intamin deathtraps!
Mmmm... deathtrap porn!
Another round with DeNiro the Ride
Still see they have not yet electrified the walls in Bull's station
I'm vinning, I'm vinning!!!
Hey, we've been here before!
Something's missing here:
Condom's looking good after a rehab, but still missing its letters.
"What camera?"
This weather just makes for awful pics!
Gotta wonder if Little Six is even tall enough for these rides...
SUCK IT... FIRST ONE ON DIPPER! :mrgreen:
This is a Kiddieland car
Where's Tom Sawyer when you need him...
Too bad they're only at one-train ops.
I see you!
Sky Blue Tower during the heavy fog gives a rather interesting view
Now it's starting to look like a re-run!
Yep!
They got that cart on Drop quick!
And time to call it a day.
THE EDN!
...and just in time. Not much longer afterward it began to pour!
Oh, and here's to whoring myself out for the day...
Nice to meet some new faces; I met superbleachbrothers, Demon10, Brian Plencner, and I believe I ran into the SFGAmWorld crew at the Marriott model, but we didn't speak.
