I was out in Seattle on business, and decided a Pacific northwest coaster trip would be a good idea.
I was able to squeeze in Wild Waves (Federal Way, WA, 20 min south of Seattle) during the week after my work obligations. I wasn't able to take any pictures there due to a lack of time. That park was fairly decent though. I was there on a Wednesday night, and there were few lines. It's $10 for parking, and $20 for admission after 4pm. I got there by 5pm and was able to ride 3 of the 4 coasters there. I skipped the kiddie coaster. I did ride Wild Thing, just an Arrow looper/corkscrew very similar (not the same) to Demon. I also got on Timberhawk, an S&S woodie. This was a rather forceless ride, except for the back. The back row featured some mild airtime and felt a bit faster than anywhere else on the train. Every other row was very bland. The ride however was reasonably smooth and doesn't leave you regretting the ride. Finally, I got on Klondike Gold Rusher, which is just a wild mouse.
After that, I had to finish up my work obligations for the week. Also took a trip to the Space Needle. Fun fact, valet parking is usually cheaper than taking a cab anywhere.
Once Friday came, got on a flight to Spokane, WA. This is not too far from a friend of mine in Coeur D'alene, ID which is just south of Silverwood. I had the strangest feeling of Deja Vu while being there.
Deja Vu is doing well in its new life as Aftershock. The ghetto camoflage is just as good as it was at SFGAm too. I felt nostalgic riding it, and remembered how much I miss that ride. At the same time though, it didn't have the same charm it did at SFGAm.
The park also has Corkscrew which is rather average. Not much to say about it.
The two wooden coasters there, Timber Terror and Tremors, are also very good. In an odd turn of events, I actually enjoyed the front row the best on these, rather than the back. Timber Terror was very rough and didn't seem to have much airtime in the back. However the front featured many pops of airtime and wasn't nearly as rough as the back. Tremors wasn't as rough, but I enjoyed it more than Timber Terror.
I'm not much on words, so I'll leave you with some pictures.
Mater?
Sorry folks, park's closed. The moose out front should have told you.
Brer Rabbit?
Was Disney getting rid of some Splash Mountain stuff?
