Title: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: Jason on Sep 12, 2009, 07:51 If you like beer you need to get to beer school. Then ride Prowler.
Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: Jason on Sep 12, 2009, 08:31 Prowler is killing it at night right now.

Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: caddesigner on Sep 14, 2009, 08:42 I still havent rode it at night! Come Haunt I'll do so ;). I've heard I'm missing out on a good ride. You are missing out! I have to say that saturday night was one of the best night rides I have had since the ride opened, and it keeps getting better. Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: Jason on Sep 15, 2009, 10:15 Here's some shots from our evening.
Ben shows off his champion beer sliding techniques (http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs241.snc1/8819_162994904847_654464847_3645796_5518469_n.jpg) (http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs241.snc1/8819_162994909847_654464847_3645797_7960532_n.jpg) The wife prepares for a slide.

(http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs261.snc1/8819_162994934847_654464847_3645801_7972334_n.jpg) Another slide from the wife (http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs261.snc1/8819_162994939847_654464847_3645802_4096241_n.jpg) How does one become a beer sliding champ? Drink lots of beer. Then push a mug full of it towards a small target. More drinking gets you more chances. (http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs261.snc1/8819_162994949847_654464847_3645803_7628916_n.jpg) One of the German performers shows us what's what and who's who.

I feel like I passed but the report card has yet to arrive. (http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs241.snc1/8819_162995004847_654464847_3645812_411562_n.jpg) Beer school attendees.

Several beers make everything better. (http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs261.snc1/8819_162995019847_654464847_3645814_1745147_n.jpg) Beer sliding champ and bead winning wife.

(http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs261.snc1/8819_162995034847_654464847_3645816_5749993_n.jpg) Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: caddesigner on Sep 15, 2009, 12:03 Ben looks like he is in a beer zen state of mind in the on-ride pic. I cant wait to see how the fog from fright zone affects the ride area at night....two more weeks before we get to find out!
Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: Prowler182 on Sep 15, 2009, 01:23 Looks like fun but I'm jealous of the Prowler Night rides lol.
Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: Ben on Sep 15, 2009, 03:33 Really guys, it is absolutely amazing how good this ride is getting. Especially at night. I was totally blown away how awesome and intense it was on Saturday night. :)
Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: Prowler182 on Sep 15, 2009, 03:57 Prowlers getting even more intense?!? Man am I missing out big time. That Triple Down throws me everywhere but I can't imagine what it's like now that it's broken in and almost through its first season. How crazy is the S-Turn right now?
Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: caddesigner on Sep 16, 2009, 08:27 Really guys, it is absolutely amazing how good this ride is getting. Especially at night. I was totally blown away how awesome and intense it was on Saturday night. :) Totally agree!! I am glad I am not the only one who thought it was one of the best nights yet for the ride. Shoot it was running awesome even in the morning and I have had some very slow rides in the morning. I think maybe the mechanics and the carpenters have figured out the maintanence routine to keep Prowler running at 110% The times have definetly been consistant from the first ride of the day to the last ride of the night.Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: tonyblackjack on Sep 16, 2009, 11:49 I can not wait until October 3rd to ride it at night again!
Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: Ben on Sep 17, 2009, 09:15 I can not wait until October 3rd to ride it at night again! Then go Saturday and score some good food and BEER too. Problem solved. Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: tonyblackjack on Sep 17, 2009, 11:22 Funny you mention that as my friends I was going with on October 3rd have been hit with a little bit of a money crisis so we are probably going Saturday so I can get them in for $15 a piece with some can foods. I will return on the 3rd by myself though hopefully.
Title: Re: Oktoberfest at WoF Post by: caddesigner on Sep 17, 2009, 01:03 I wish I could do the Oktoberfest....thats okay though I get to ride Prowler whenever I want... headbang
