Sorry for the bad quality pics, I was using my phone and was rushed by impatient kiddies.
Well, yesterday me and my family and my brother's friend went to BGA. We got there at about 10:30 and the park was completely empty. Yay for homeschooled pass holders!! :wink:
We found out they were re-paving the tram road so our tram went on this long route that eventually got us to the park entrance. There we saw this guy:
And, of course my brothers just had to stop and high five him. :roll:
Then we saw these:
Christmas in... November.
So, the boys split up from my mom and sisters, and went to Montu. On the way, the young 'uns decided to stop to see the alligators, nothing new there.
Look at those dumb kids! :lol:
So, we walked past
A horse and
The Crown Colony Restraunt,
and finally made it to Montu!
Where I finally realized that the station was themed to some sort of archaeological dig site.
Of course, I got back row and my brothers got front, so I got right on and they had to wait.
It was fab as usual, lots of fun. They were only running one train, and there were only two people in the back row line (showing how empty it was), so I kinda just switched seats and rode again. :lol:
I came to the conclusion that the far left seat of the back row is alot better than the far right seat of the back row and the best seat in the house.
Some Montu theming.
So, we decided to go to Sheikra by means of the skyride. First, however, we wandered into the Tut's tomb giftshop, where I found this price tag:
I know it's hard to see, but it says $425.
Skyride times were to be had, and I got this awesome picture of Philip, my brothers' friend, as my gondola was pulling out of the station:
Lot's of pictures from the skyride:
The train!!
Gwazi.
Sheikra.
Kumba.
Then, we got to the turnaround and were almost speared by these bull things with crazy long horns.
Kumba again, closer up.
So, we got to Sheikra...
...and got on it first in the back row, then in the front. The front row was the longest of the day, a whole whopping three minutes. :--D
I managed to snag a (very bad) picture of my ORP from the front row:
(I'm in green and my brother's in the blue and orange.)
Then, we headed towards Kumba, stopping at the bumper cars first.
I am the ultimate expert in bumper cars manuevering. :wink:
Kumba was CLOSED!! :x so we went to Timbuktu, as it was close by. Got on Cheetah Chase
with which I have a love-hate relationship, and then went to Pirates 4-D, which still doesn't impress me.
We then went to meet up with my mom, who happened to be on the carousel a few yards away. Scorpion was next:
I got to ride in the front row with my almost- five yr. old sister, Sophia:
She is destined to become a coaster enthusiast someday. :lol:
As always, she loved it, and wanted to ride again.
So, my mom said we could do one more ride, and we picked Montu. Took the skyride back, where I observed the longest line of the day (it was for the tiger viewing thing in Jungala :lol: ) and quickly walked towards the ride.
More awesome theming.
Me and my brother, Zack (the one in the blue and orange) got the second to last row, while Philip and my other brother Nick got back. While they were waiting to get on, me and Zack quickly hopped back on, for my fourth ride of the day. I made another observation that Montu is better anywere in the train, as long as you're on the left side.
To finish this off, here are two parting pictures:
The tram stop sign (random, I know).
A cool picture of Montu's drop.
An overview of rides:
