Lake Winnie July 3rd 2009

Post by coasterdave »

Since Wes has the Ghost Town in the Sky covered with his PTR then I will not bore you folks with the same pics. I will just skip up to the Lake Winnie in Rossville,GA. If you have not ever been to to Lake Winnie then what in the heck are you waiting for. It is one of those gem of a park that is really worth going to but it is abit out of the way unless you are going up 75 from Hotlanta but is worth the time to stop and enjoy it plus they had a kick butt fireworks show on the 3rd that was impressive to say the least and now onto the pics:

Image
What would a ship be without water and a nine minute ride cycle?


Image
It's the added touches to the park that makes it stand out.


Image
They have a car ride with alot of shade


Image
Had a coaster that I have not rode before and it was the Wacky Worm!


Image
My riding partner was Caroline whose Parents run Rideworld


Image
Had a 1916 PTC Carousel they got from a defunct park near Atlanta


Image
These are real wooden horses


Image
Interesting paintings on this one


Image
Not that crowded for the 3rd of July


Image
Had a real good set of super fast Swings


Image
Here is something that some of you have never saw before since not many are around.


Image
Fly-O-Planes are fun but very physically demanding rides


Image
For all you Orbiter Fans on the board


Image
Park has a great setting


Image
For the jr thrill seekers


Image
Park has been here a number of years to see trees like this.


Image
Star attraction of the Park, The Cannonball


Image
Unlike Pedro at South of the Border, this L&T Mouse does work.


Image
Here is the Alpine Skyride and the free with paid admission Paddleboats.


Image
The Boat Chute which I think is the only one left of its kind today.


Image
You would never see this acess in any of the larger parks in the US


Image
Just to give you a better Idea of the access.


Image
Park looks great from the swinging boat area


Image
Sun is setting and Fireworks are not to far off.


Image
Pirate at night


Image
Swings as dusk takes over the world


Image
It begans


I will say that I think the Cannonball is one of the most underrated coaster. You really do not hear alot about it but will say the last two wooden coasters I have rode where better than some of the newer ones that are being built today.

Next up some Manta and Maybe some Rocket Action from this coming weekend so stay tuned.
