So we went and were told they said all Idaho potatoes out of state...bummer!!

I think she meant "sold".

So you can't find Idaho potatoes in Idaho.
That's would be like not being able to find maple sirop in Quebec.

See you are just like me....you can decipher my babble

or Poutine

Ok we cant have that happening

Maple syrup can come here, but I really cant look at poutine....it reminds me off late night fries and gravy after a night at the Yale...if you know what I mean

[TattoodGirl]

raydan raydan:

I haven't had poutine in years.
I don't think that my digestive system could handle it anymore.

Hey C-Dot, where are the other photos?

I know I am totally stoked to see him skating Leeside and riding my Coaster

[TattoodGirl]

WDHIII WDHIII:

Thankfully I dont

Well if it ever happens again...i will take a pic with my new CELL phone and send it to you, but I dont think it ever will...oh well your loss

I had some yeeeears ago and I still don't think all off it is out of my system....and I don't mean cholesterol and triglycerides either. Only a good scraping of the colon could get it all.

Day 4- Seattle/Vancouver


After yet another hellish drive through the night we got to Wild Waves park.


For it being a sold property of "Six Flags" there water park looked very nice.


One of the coolest waterslides I have ever seen.




Indeed


wow....havent been on one of these before


A wooden coaster made by S&S Mfg.






looks...eh...decent








This is actually very fun, since every other one I have seen is usually up "up-charge" attraction.


Credit...


I havent showered the last day, and it was hot....so I figured what the hell.


Closed coaster...


Not a big deal it was closed, i have been on 5 of the same clones before...nothing unique.


Looks like I going to get wet...blessing or a burden...


Only got my face and feet wet....not happy


Back to "Wild Thing"


It was my friends 500th different coaster, signage with picture is a must.


Back to Timberhawk.


The ride would be better if the hills were lower so it would have some airtime.


First traffic of the trip, going into Seattle.


Theres the space needle...although the CN tower is taller.


They had a windstorm here. The last windstorm I rode gave me bruises from the fucking metal lap bar. This one wasn't too bad.


This dive hurts a lot!


Heres the little dipper under the needle...just rode on 2 days earlier in South Dakota.






You can just hear the people screaming "oh my boobs" "oh my fucking god my legs"!!!


Vallet parking is good if you want to pay $40


We left Seattle and we were on our way to Vancouver!


There it is!


Heres a drive by pic of Playland. The park closes in 1 hour....shit....


First priority!


It was a fun "Miller" coaster. Although there all the same.


Oh yeah...the "coaster"




I see airtime!


I love the single position lap bars!


It was a great ride! Stand up airtime on every hill, smooth, and I loved the layout.


Although, there aren't any good places to get a pic of the ride though.




I wanted to ride this just so I can say I rode the "death" coaster that was in the movie "final destination 3"


Ive only been on one of these before, I forgot how fun the Vekoma corkscrews were.




The sun wasn't in the best spot though for pictures.


Theres the coaster again...I wish we would have been able to get a second ride on it though.








I was so tempted to ride it because it looked like a good program, but at the time I though we would be able to ride the coaster again.


I saw this and said "I must ride the breakdance"! If I wouldnt have ridden it, we would have been able to get on the coaster again.


Denied a ride by 1 train


So we rode this instead, it was ok. Although I prefer the drop modes.








Failed shot




My friend got pissed, we found the park on accident while turning around and I barely got 5 mins.


I WILL come back sometime in the future, I feel like i missed out so much.


So after throwing a bitch fit with my friend we were on the road to Calgary...and we needed to exchange our cash.


Oh pretty




We though we found a hidden credit because "go bananas" is a chain around Chicago that usually has a kiddie coaster...this one was just a playground.




I forgot which town this is, but it in the mountains off Hwy 1

Next update: Canadian Rockies, Calgary, Edmonton.

You ever think of studying engineering in university, allowing you to actually design real coasters?

[Hyack]

The "Oh pretty" shot is Mt Baker, the flag looks to be in Hope, and the night shots were probably Kamloops.

[coaster_dot]

I wanted to when I was a kid but I learned that there isnt a market for it. There are only a few companies out there and each company only has a few people behind the design. I would rather work in marketing for parks or ride company and produce 3D animations, videos, photos, and design layouts.

I do design on the side as a hobby though.



Its something I do here and there. If anyone is interested I can set you up with the program I use.

YES! Kamloops!!! Thats it

We stopped at a Petro Canada there really late and had to use the window to get a soda. Well I had to call it "pop" so the clerk knew what I was talking about

[Hyack]

How did you get to Kamloops, the Coquihalla Highway or the Fraser Canyon route?

[coaster_dot]

I thought it was while we were on Hwy 1/ Hwy 16. I really don't remember. We just followed whatever the GPS told us to do.

[Hyack]

If you did Hwy 1 to Kamloops it would be the Fraser Canyon, hope you managed that in the daylight, great scenery, going thru Kamloops in the dark was an added bonus....

[coaster_dot]

Yeah we went through it during the night. If I ever do that similar trip again, I am not going to focus on the theme parks. I mean, I will still probaly stop at some but not all. I just feel like I missed out on so much. If we weren't on such a time constant I would have loved to stop every once in a while and just look at some of the scenery.

One of the reasons why I kept getting pissed at my friend. He wanted to get back a day earlier and he didnt plan ANY time for anything but the parks. Everytime I wanted to stop he would say "well its my car, I want to get to the next park, I don't want to spend money on another hotel".

It would be cool to do the same trip with someone else who isnt only about the parks. On ANY other trip I would have been focused on just the parks. But on this trip, it was almost impossible to.

[TattoodGirl]

The tunnel is what we call Leeside, in honour of Lee Matasi that was murdered and a huge supporter of good skate parks. You should do a skate tour....wherever we go we make sure there is a skate park close by. Great pics CD...Thanks for sharing.
