raptor 117 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 A worker asked me if I was a coaster enthusiast and wanted to buy A Stricker's Grove T-shirt, after seeing my Conneaut Lake Park shirt on, I said absolutely, she said they had some shirts made to sell especially for this day, because some Coaster enthusiasts were there today, I'm not sure what group was there, but I was glad to get a shirt, as they don't normally sell them, not much else to report, it was a hot day, but everything was working well, though the Tornado could use some grease or something the cars were really squealing loud against the tracks. One thing I wander is the Tip Top the last Bubble Bounce, I don't recall seeing this at any other parks list of rides, and it certainly isn't at any other park I've been to.

The Interpreter 82068 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 There are others. For one thing, Sylvan Beach has one: http://www.palaceamusements.com/ride_the_rides.html I last rode it several years ago, but I think it is still there. http://www.sylvanbeach.org/amusementpark/fun.html Congratulations on the t-shirt. I know how much you wanted one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raptor 117 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Glad to know it's not the last one out there, It used to be my mom's favorite ride decades ago at Riverview Park in Chicago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare-to-fly 805 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well...it figures. The one Family Day that I miss and they have Stricker's Grove T-shirts to sell. Congratulations on yours, though. It's a rare find! As for Tip Top...ride with me sometime if you want to experience a wild ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

violakat03 988 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I was looking for shirts to buy. So was most of our group. The only answer we got was "we don't have any." BTW, I saw you several times and didn't realize that was you! I was in the big group of crazies and had on a KI shirt that said "I'd rather ride a woodie" on the back.

DaveStroem 74 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I too wanted a T-shirt but as Kat said they told us they didn't have any. The tip top was a blast. How often can you say you got air time on a tea cup. Although when we did 2 cycles back to back it about put me under. Thanks Kat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raptor 117 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I actually wasn't looking for one, because I knew they didn't sell them, but when the lady saw my shirt on, she figured I'd like to buy one, and said something - by the way dare to fly, I can't imagine you get the tip top spinning faster than me, maybe equal, that is if I get on one of the ones that aren't broke, I go pretty nuts on it. although I have noticed that you notice the bounce a lot more if you're not going so fast, so some times I spin it real fast, and other times I don't Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotag 244 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Sorry dave about not goin faster. But I intend on not havin any injuries. But it was more fun on that back to back ride Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We need to both ride together and spin it at record speeds!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's nice to have a shirt from the park especially now that I hear they don't normally sell them. According to Shawn, he got the last two they had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
