Also just a quick mention - In line for Monster we got to talk with the cast of Signed, Sealed, Delivered, and I have to throw a shout out to them. They're all VERY nice people & work hard day after day to put on a great show. We saw SSD & were all very impressed. Huge props to all of the cast & crew that make that show great!
Anyway enough blabbering - Onto the photos!
Starting off our day, we got 3 rides on this puppy, 5 on Wild Thing, and 1 on Bench: the Ride.
Why Valleyfair, Why?
We all play on the highly prestigious Valley Lagoon golf course.
I kinda jumped over this. It was chill.
Now onto one of the cooler parts of the day - The High Roller Walkback!
No really it was very cool! Better than the Renegade one last year by FAR.
Got some very unique and funky shots of High Roller as well as a few other rides.
Return run goodness.
Believe it or not the VF trolley is still stored away next to High Roller. Definitely awesome to see!
Like I said, we all got some great shots!
The trims actually worked to our advantage when it came to taking photos right around here.
From behind the fence.
Bolt.
Woah wait . . . Bolts? Yeah folks, apparently these are the "Markers" of the future! Hiding future projects from snooping park enthusiasts has never been so easy! Simply put a bolt in the ground & let the game of hide & seek begin! To further any rumors about a Planet Snoopy/Half Pint replacement, these were found all in Half Pint Park & surrounding areas. The first one was found right next to Sidewinder Burrito, and the one right above this novel was found right across from Flying Trapeze's queue line. Take a look for yourself folks!
Continuing on, this Navy Band was playing in place of Retro Rockit for the day. They were fantastic!
Use me for Carnage. Gobble gobble.
Lunch was fantastic! Minus the hornets . . . but they never hurt anyone! Right . . . ?
Decided to head out to Pizza Hut with a few other VFZ folks for a cheap dinner. It was very good, minus this very disturbing restroom sign.
1 Pizza at VF = $21 (roughly). 2 Medium Pizza's, Breadsticks, and Salad at P-Hut = $21 (roughly).
I like night shots.
On our way back from some INCREDIBLE night ERT on Renegade. 19 Rides!
That about wraps up my Coaster Craze Photo Trip Report. We all had a great time & cannot wait for next year's. We all can't stress enough how insanely fun this event is & how you all should come out & experience the ERT, walkbacks, and overall craziness that ensues with Coaster Craze every year.
Hope you all enjoyed viewing/reading!

I think that's the old Trolly ride that used to go underneath Corkscrew's queue line. It went around where the Wave is and that grassy knoll by Corkscrew, underneath the queue and over to the lagoon.

Actually its not a trolley at all. :-) Its an old timey bus that they have used in parades before. I was actually luck enough to get a chance to ride in the back of it many moons ago, but with the wood wheels it made for a rough ride.
