GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Don't remind me.[:(!]
My wife & I went yesterday, the trip however, was short & sweet, due to an approaching storm system that dumped rain- 30 seconds after we got in the truck to leave. The concert might well have been rained out anyway. I wasn't able to get any pics, I had planned to go ride some rides, eat, & go get the camera & stuff, make a day of it. I got to ride the Mega-Drop for my first time, (what a blast, I would ride it all day if I could)[:D] Then they shut it down right after I got off because of the storm coming & possible lightning hazard. We basically ran for the truck a quarter mile away.
So, I'll try to list the rides as I remember.
T.M. Eli wheel,
Pharoah's Fury,
Starship 2000,
Double shock,
Downdraft,
Cliff Hanger,
Music Fest,
Ring of Fire,
Spinout,
Tilt,
Wisdom Himalaya,
Mega-Drop,
Slide,
Spidermania,
MGR.
Lots of kid rides, I didn't get in there.
Tinsley's had their portion there looking great as usual:
Spider,
Zumur,
G.M. Scrambler,
Predator,
Orient Express,
Maybe it was their Roundup in Adventure Village, another Pharoahs down there too, maybe theirs as well.
Also in A.V, I saw as we drove by, we didn't make it down there either.[:(!]
Fair-owned
G.M. Eli 16,
Spider,
Tilt,
Yo-Yo,
Bungy jump,
That's all I could see through rainy windows.
Noticeably absent on the main midway from last year,
Invertor,
Turbo Force.
Lots of space available for more rides. One perfect spot where a Skywheel would look great.[;)]
Sorry for the lack of pics, I was ready, but the weather had other plans. We missed a lot of other things that we wanted to see as well, but did get to see the butter cow!
Here's the midway cam link again, you can get to the other cams from that page as well. I'll edit my post if I remeber something I forgot to list.
