Tidal Wave, Triple Play and Days of Thunder in the Action FX Theater. I remember staying on Tidal Wave for 5 times in a row because there was no line, and then almost barfing up my funnel cake all over my friend. I LOOOOVED Triple Play.

Yep! It’s my favorite ride at the park. It was really cool when at the start of the season I got a call from Rick, the rides manager wanting me to revamp the line for the 2007 season.

I can tell you exactly what the deal is with the Whizzer now. The sign is still in the park, it's in the coaster shop hanging on the wall.

MY LAST RIDE ON TRIPLE PLAY

Before I worked at GA I went to pick up my friend Cory who was a shows tech. I was so sad when I found Triple Play in pieces. My friend Tyler, who is also a shows tech now decided to take one last ride. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/aarcuda70sprbird/IMG_1492.jpg http://photos-070.ll.faceboo...
