gnarkiller Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I miss Chicago already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersNSich Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'm really looking forward to more. Love the cat pictures at the start. Movie Spoiler: A recent blockbuster had most of its scenes filmed in Chicago. Next time I go there, I'll have to call it G**h*m. And even S ars Tower fails to bore me.

DropZone99 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Six Flags Pics! Carousal! King Chaos Vertical Velocity (V2) I give it a 9 out of 10, it's much better than Wicked Twister! All though Batman at SFOG is a clone of this one, i like this one better. Iron Wolfe was next The ride isn't as bad as everyone says, most of it was enjoyable! Revolution: The ride! American Eagle! One of the best wooden coasters i have been on! At night! At day! Demon is our next ride It's not that bad... Best part of the ride! Whizzer is amazing! I really wish KI had something like this, it is just pure fun! Ahh... Raging Bull... What a great ride It could be better, if they turned the trims off. Viper! It's so under rated Surprisingly there is great air time Mitchell must of drunk too much Pepsi on the way to SF Dark Knight is way over rated to the GP, we waited an hour and a half for it Superman: Ultimate Flight Ragin' Cajun busts through a Popeye's Chicken! Last pic of Six Flags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubaman Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Okay, Iron Wolfe, while fun had it's painful parts... But I really do not see how you enjoyed American Eagle. At all. I guess it's just a matter of opinion, or it has changed in the past 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 On day three we went to the beach and had some more Popeye's, i forgot my camera when we went to the beach but i go some pics on my phone (ill try to upload those soon). All good things must come to an end.. Good bye Chicago Ill miss you.. What an amazing city.. I love the skyline Welcome to Indiana, turn back while you still can! our GPS went crazy and told us to go to Gary, Indiana so we could get killed by Michale Jackson and Buffalo Bill. "eat your heart out"? that doesn't sound very good this is the worst/scariest hotel i have ever seen Thats nice to know And on the other side.. Indiana sucks.. Were almost home! My camera sucks at night.. Thanks for reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarkiller Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Haha. I miss SFGA! I liked King Chaos more than Crypt. Also I think viper is way underrated. Oh and heres my kitty's, they're cuter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iChase Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Nice trip report Nick. Chicago is a really cool city. Did you get to go to the Barrington area? It's a really nice town. And Dane, can we unblock the C word? It's getting a little silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersNSich Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I don't know which pictures I like more: Chicago, Six Flags, or your cat? I was also curious how the new Trump tower, being about 90 stories, will affect the view from Sears Tower toward the John H. Center. Actually seems to fit in well.
