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.

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.

Here's some shots from our evening.

Ben shows off his champion beer sliding techniques

The wife prepares for a slide.

Lining it up

Letting it rip
(http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs261.snc1/8819_162994929847_654464847_3645800_3891562_n.jpg)

Becoming a champ!
(http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs261.snc1/8819_162994934847_654464847_3645801_7972334_n.jpg)

Another slide from the wife

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.

One of the German performers shows us what's what and who's who.

Beer school was more like all you can drink for $5. I feel like I passed but the report card has yet to arrive.

Beer school attendees.

Beer sliding champs take a late night victory lap on Prowler. Several beers make everything better.

We rode several times and they were among our best Prowler rides to date.

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!

Looks like fun but I'm jealous of the Prowler Night rides lol.

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. :)

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?

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.

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.

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.
