TR: Valleyfair Opening Day
Headed out yesterday to Opening Day & I have to say that the park looks better than it has in years! Everything looked so clean and well cut. The new signs, painted buildings, and other various upgrades really stood out and made the park seem a lot more high end. Overall I was very impressed with all that has been added/modified.
Anyway, got there circa 8:30, they opened up the gates, then met up with r78, Neers, and VF7 to play some blackjack. r78 took the winnings unfortunately in a last second all in move. Very intense stuff. The University of Minnesota Marching Band played the National Anthem and then the park opened up. I was the 3rd person in the park, VF7 & Neers being the first two. We got in and went immediately to High Roller. High Roller + No Trims on the turnaround = VFZ Takeover Awesomeness. We then headed back to Renegade for a quick ride on that and I don't know what they did to it, but it hauled yesterday. Definitely better than last season. Can't wait to see it warm up!
We then headed over to Wild Thing, rode back seat on that, took the tunnel, etc. Great ride! After that we rode Power Tower which was half decent, then headed over to Ripcord to be the first fliers (for the GP at least) for the 2010 season. It was definitely a great flight = )
After Ripcord, headed over to say hi to Vfhauntfreak, then went on Monster and Corkscrew (which was actually surprisingly smooth). Unfortunately after a fun day of strolling around the park, I had to go to Prom which definitely topped off a good day. To see the photos, click here.
