Lakeside & Elitches Photo Tr. (June, 2008)
« Thread Started on Jun 22, 2008, 1:06am »
Ok first off is Lakeside which really beat my expectations! The Cyclone is now my top wooden coaster I've ridden, and I love all the art deco and lights it has! Well onto the pictures!

[image]
Now my favorite vertical looping flat ride.

[image]
Slowest bumper boats in the world.

[image]
Best Swing ride in the world.

[image]
Nice little garden thing they had in the center of the park.

[image]
The College Inn (not a real inn).

[image]
Farther back view of the Lakeside Tower of Redit.

[image]
My first A.C.E. Landmark wooden coaster!

[image]
Rotting Away the Ride!

[image]
Apparently the whole idea of this ride is to look at it!

[image]
Now what I'm really here for.........

[image]
Will have to wait. Now look at the Spider, look at it!!!

[image]
If there was a picture taken when this ride first opened I'd bet they'd look the same.

[image]
The Cyclone cannot fully hide itself behind the terrifying Scrambler!

[image]
Wild Chipmunk (A.K.A. Ouch the Ride!)

[image]
Some abandoned building....

[image]
Cyclone,Wild Chipmunk,and a Scrambler.

[image]
Umm can I say General Public Hazard?

[image]
One of you will open today, one of you will not. Can anyone guess which opened?

[image]
Oval Go-Karts.

[image]
Look at me!

[image]
Carousel!

[image]
Sign to nothing!

[image]
I See a Train!

[image]
Hi Mr. Train!

Ok now for the final park Elitch Gardens. This wasn't that much of a fun park, most of the rides were not thrilling, and only a few were fun. The best rides were Chaos, Sidewinder, and Serial Thriller.

[image]
Missed credit. :(

[image]
Sidewinder station.

[image]
Dog Show!

[image]
Denver Stadium.

[image]

[image]
Yey!

[image]
End of the show.

[image]
This view will change soon.

[image]
Sidewinder!

[image]
Water Rapids Ride.

[image]
YOU WILL GET DRENCHED!

[image]
Sidewinder Loop.

[image]
Drop Tower of Doom!

[image]
It will attack you!

[image]
As you see mid ride this ride will have fire set off and it will burn you alive. As sign depicts.

[image]
Halfpipe Headbang!

[image]
Pretty rough boomerang whats weird is Flashback which is way older is smoother.

[image]
Headbang Chair.

[image]
Best Top Spin I've been on.

[image]
Ice Cream!

[image]
Twister II! (As you can see it puts people in a trance.)
