TPS Report
ACE Coaster Con XXXII
Day Four: Silver Dollar City
First off let me commend you for making it this far.
You're already
almost halfway through the Con TPS Report. That's remarkable.
Time for the GAP roll call!
Steve?
Here.
Karen?
Here.
Brandi?
Here.
Jeff?
Here.
Josh?
Queer.
Josh is leading us to the super-exclusive bit of the day:
The Fire in the Hole backstage tour!
We start the tour by crossing over the track via
a conveniently placed piece of plywood. Why they
didn't just leave a train in the station to walk through
is beyond me (in fact, here's a train just sitting around)
Uh-oh! Looks like we're heading into an
Authorized Personnel Only area!
I'm guessing this is the track they
use to transfer off trains requiring maintenance.
Beats me.
Penis stretcher...
If you're feeling blue, just spray some of this in your eyes.
The wheels don't match. I'm sure there are people
out there who would lose their shit over this fact.
All these wheels laying around and I can't find a decent price
on skateboard wheels and bearings anywhere. Life's unfair.
(no, I'm not taking up boarding. It's a special side
project
that we're working on. We'll tell you about it later. Promise)
Just because I have a picture of it doesn't mean
that I know what it is. It's like time code.
(okay, that was really obscure. Made even moreso
by the fact that I'm referencing a movie line rather than
actually quoting it. If the above joke made any sense to
you, please feel free to feel superior to other folks)
This place is creepy...
Okay, tour's over.
I'd have liked to have seen some of the "scenes" that are in the
ride, but apparently that wasn't in the cards. The only way to
see the scenes was to catch a ride while the lights were still on.
And, once again, we took it in the face.
By the way, I liked Fire in the Hole much more than the very similar Blazing
Fury at Dollywood EXCEPT I don't believe Blazing Fury has the totally
cheap sprayers in the end. Any water you get there is based solely on the
size of your spash, not some dirty cheating sprayers.
Still, I like it more than Blazing Fury. But they really need to make it
a little more clear to visitors that the Bald Knobbers weren't synonymous
with the Klan...
