Closing Day FF 11/1/09

[Jackluver18]

Got up to the park around 10:20, got my exit pass and me and my two friends first ride was Swamp Thing. Still a great ride, next was Viper back row. A bit chilly up there but it was a lot of fun. Then we went on Bull red train back row. It was a little cold up there too. Then we went on Terror Twister a few times before going to get something to eat. We then went to see Dead Man's Party at 2 and after that walked over to Necropolis and went in there a few times. The janitor loved my friend, I kept telling him he could have her eyes it was quite funny. Next was Vertical Velocity front row but before we got on it, the restraints were stuck closed so we had to wait for that a bit.

After riding V2 we went on Dark Knight and Superman before we watched day parade which wasn't the best because only one trolley was in it because the clowns weren't there. It just seemed really short, but before day parade they did the smashing of the pumpkins which was really cool to watch. After day parade we went to Demon and I rode that quite a few times, went back to Terror Twister, and then we went in Studio 13. That will the be first and last time I go in there, I will never ever do it again.

I started crying, freaking out and was panicing. Then we walked out and I got the daylights scared outa me by the chainsaw guy. Speaking of him, while waiting in line for Rico, he got really mad at some stupid kids that were running their mouth towards him and he threatened them with security if they didn't cut it out. We then went on Bull again, went to Batman and in Cell Block and Necro (again) before heading to Swamp Thing one last time before watching night parade. I had a great time, sad the park is now closed for the season. Can't wait till next year

Again, no pics. Bad TR. Nobody wants to read a huge glob of words.

I don't get how this makes it a bad TR. The user chose to give a trip report without photos. There is no requirement that photos make a good TR nor does having photos make a TR good. On top of that, there are a decent amount of views, so someone has read this report.

Again, why dont you make one then! Her TR's are just fine

[Jackluver18]

Thanks guys, yeah you don't have to put pictures in your TR if you don't want to. If you don't like my TR's then don't bother commenting on them. I'm not going to make a PTR just because you complain about how they don't have pictures.

I did think someone would have pics from closing day though as usually there are at least some pics included and this season you guys slacked off...I don't take em as I don't have a proper camera.

[Jackluver18]

I have pics and will add them into my album, it just takes forever to upload them to my computer and then upload them onto photobucket and then upload them here. My computer is slower than a snail so it takes longer to do things like that.

^How did you like this years version of Dead Man's Party?

[Jackluver18]

It was my first time seeing it and I liked it, I didn't see previous years

You guys/girls are lucky someone took the time to just write a report, and tell you how the trip was, and you are complaining about pictures. If you don't like trip reports without pictures, don't read it than. That's simple. Don't complain to people, oh you don't have pictures, and thus it's bad trip report. If you are going to complain, I want to see where your trip reports are, and do they have all these pictures?

Yes, it's okay to request pictures, but just say a trip report is BAD based on no pictures is complete garbage.

Where are your trip reports AsRealAsItGets ? Oh, yeah. I thought so. NOWHERE!

[Jackluver18]

^ I agree, I mean serious AsRealAsItGets, if you don't like my trip reports or anyones that doesn't have pictures then don't comment on them. It's as simple as that like Ilovthevu said.

Okay. After seeing everyone's reactions to my previous post, I now realize that it really doesn't matter about the pictures. All that matters is that you are willing to share your experience at SFGAM. My intentions were not to deter other from posting TR's, but to encourage them to show pictures. In my personal opinion, I believe pictures make it exciting and add a spice to a TR. Jackluver, I am sorry for my comments. Others are correct though, I can't judge others TR's if I am not posting them myself.

Not everyone lugs a camera around everytime they visit a park.

I know I don't. If I have already takin enough pics of Raging Bull, I am not going to waste my time taking more pics of it.

I will say this Jackluver, please space out and paragraph your TR's. It's easier to read.

I'll add in as a semi old school follower that a purely text TR can be as good if not better than a trip report loaded with pics. Most Photo trip reports end up being pictures of stuff you've seen 1000 times before with a very basic if any caption. I see that all time time on the rare occasions I look at PTR's on TPR. However on TPR if I'm looking at a TR it's probably some non local park that I haven't seen much of before and therefor it's interesting. However on this site everyone should be familiar with SFGAm and what stuff looks like. If you look back at this sites history you'll probably notice that I can whip out a "wall of text" TR with no effort at all. A well written TR can basically make pictures obsolete, though I did eventually post pics from my Europe Trip if you do look back at my old TR's.

[Jackluver18]

Oh sorry I will space them out and AsRealAsItGets it's fine

[Director_Guy]

Does this mean I shouldn't make any Photo TRs?
