Posted: Tue May 26, 2009 6:07 pm
Those that have been around the boards afew years know that I set a goal about 4 years ago to hit coaster #400 and did not make it. So three years ago I did the same thing and missed it and luck would have it I said last year was going to be the year and fail to get it. I was thinking it was life the Holy Grail would have been easier to find and did not set any goals this year and yea luck would have it that I crept up on it.
I am not really going to go into details about this trip but will say that it had changed alot leading up to my depature thursday evening and luck would have it good old work got in the way and a meeting lasted longer then expected and it threw off my trip so I packed it in and saw Termmy friday and decided to head up to Kennywood and then Cedar Point, but a funny thing happend on my trip up for I decided to start at Idlewild so I could see and ride their mouse. So rolled into Idlewild for a few hours to enjoy a really nice looking park.
Saturday May 23rd around 10:32 I arrived at Idlewild:
So I figured I would like this place from what I have saw.
Reminds me of another wooded PA park walking down this road.
Standard Ferris Wheel
I have always been a fountain fan
Just thinking of what people thought in the early years when walking up and seeing this coaster.
Easy name to recall
Set of Old School and snappable Flyers
Entrance to the Wild Mouse
A mere Fence is between you and the coaster.
Riders enjoying the Rollo Coaster
One of the slides on the water park side of park.
Caterpiller with the Mouse in the foreground
The Mouse running
The Spider
Natural Beauty of Park
One of the shortest flumes I have saw.
Get abit wet it seems
Funny thing is there is a sign on this outhouse telling you that this is only a prop and not a real on.
One of many Paratrooper rides I will see in the next two days.
Yes the Mouse is in abunch of trees.
A Vekoma Mouse waiting
Scene from the Mister Rodgers Ride
The very strange Mouse
Then off to Lakemont
