I agree. It was much better on my second visit and I commented as such in that video. Feel free to check out my second ValleyScare video to see what I felt was different between visits. I would still say that BotBW needs to be a bit longer though. I really like the theme and I hope they expand upon it for next year. It also helps a ton when the fog machines are working in full force and you have little to no wind in the air allowing the fog to properly settle.

I am very appreciative of your ability to understand. I am sometimes able to catch myself in the middle of the act and do multiple takes until I can say the correct thing, but I was unable to that time. Sometimes, I just have to edit in a correction with words on the screen. Thank you very much for watching my videos, paying attention, and leaving a comment. I am extremely appreciative of every bit of interaction that I get.

Wow, where has the time gone? It doesn't feel like it has been gone all that long. It's sad to see a space so underutilized. I actually enjoyed that ride, but I don't think many of them are operating anymore. My understanding was that the ride was a bigtime maintenance nightmare.

Absolutely. I would love to get some rides in before doing the haunts on my next visit. Thank you for the advice!

Happy to help!

I'm glad to hear it. It sounds like a ton of fun. Thank you for all the work that you do scaring people and making this event special!

That would make sense. I have lots of memories of past ValleyScares being covered in fog. Xtreme Swing in the fog sounds like a ton of fun. Glad you got to experience that.

@rollercoastermotor1665 my brother and I do ha all the time. Yeah it was so thick we often would get lost just on paths... so much fun ha...times were calmer and different then.

That's good to hear. Must have been less wind last night and/or they had more fog machines working.

Absolutely. I wish it was always coming in that hot.

Yeah Excalibur is fantastic. Would absolutely love to see it open during ValleyScare. I certainly hope the park is considering leaving it open for next year. To add to that, other parks have drained their river rapids ride and used it as a haunt for their haunt event. So Valleyfair could do the same with Thunder Canyon. Perhaps they could add a temporary food booth and/or a bar to further draw people back there. I know that years ago the park would also have haunts within the confines of Soak City as well, but it has been quite a few years since they did that. The park has a fair amount of underutilized space for ValleyScare. I hope they're able to utilize all of that space eventually.

Absolutely. I had a great time. I will be back there to make another video this weekend. Thank you very much for all the work that you do making this a wonderful event!!!

Glad to hear that I'm not alone in thinking that. I always find it interesting to see the little changes that the park does from year to year. Now they have a much large funnel cake stand to the right as you enter the park. That food service stand has changed quite a few different times now.

Absolutely. It was a ton of fun. Thank you for the work you do on that haunt!!! I will be back this weekend to enjoy it again and make another video.

@@rollercoastermotor1665 awesome ! Hope you get a bunch of good scares !

@@tatubby4513 I hope so too!!! Thank you for all of the scares you provide!!!

I couldn’t get to chateau on opening day but I’m going again this weekend

Sounds like a plan. Chateau is definitely worth prioritizing. I hope you have a great night!

Absolutely. Thank you for the correction.

They can be sometimes. I find this stadium significantly more exciting than the Metrodome ever was though.

Thank you!!!

Yeah the flooding was only just beginning then. Didn't know it was going to get so much worse lol. At least the park seems to have nearly fully recovered at this point. Just have to get Thunder Canyon back up.

I hope I caught your good side

I agree!

I grew up going to this park in the early 1990's!!

I hope you've managed a visit since then.

@@rollercoastermotor1665 We went again in 2015. It was a lot of fun, but a warm day.

@@millep20011 I hope you were still able to enjoy yourself on that visit despite it being a warm day.

Yeah it's a wonderful place. Very jealous that you get to go more than once in a summer. I live too far away to make return visits all that accessible, but I very much plan to one day.

Ah gotcha. Thank you for the clarification.

Yeah I didn't think they were too bad. Seats can get a lot cheaper though...... But yeah this is very much closer to the cheaper end of things

What?

Gulf is what she meant I believe. It isn't an ocean but the Gulf of Mexico. To be precise everything north of the barrier islands is the Mississippi Sound.

What a butthead. Always someone leaving a rude comment just for the hell of it. There is nothing “gross” about anything in this video. If you’re referring to the water being a brown color, the barrier islands are the reason the Mississippi Sound north of the barrier islands has that color. If there were no islands our water would look just as good as Florida & Alabama water. Get a life.

And there may be more on the way....

I don't know who CM punk is

I know lol. A bit of a disappointment to be sure.

Pretty busy. The waterpark can get especially crowded. Rides usually have shorter waits during peak waterpark hours though. If you only want to do rides then you're unlikely to have an issue getting a ride on everything with some rerides. If you want to do the waterpark too then it may be tricky, but still very doable. The worst line might only be an hour. Rides like North Star, Steel Venom, and Mad Mouse usually get the worst lines like 45-60 minutes. I'd prioritize those three. Wild Thing tends to have the among the shortest lines due to high ride capacity. Renegade is the best ride in the park, but with two train operations a 30-45 minute wait is usually the worst it gets. If that ride has one train operations then it may exceed an hour. If you have one full day and want rides and the waterpark then I would strategize. If you have two full days then you won't really need to strategize at all and may run out of things to do.

@@rollercoastermotor1665 thank you for the detailed response!

@@Jadonw9 Absolutely. You are very welcome!

I very much remember that game against the Colts. I'm sure that was an extremely special game to be at. I've been to some pretty good ones, but nothing near that. Happy to hear from someone who got to experience that. I hope to get to some higher profile games too. Always got to keep an eye out on the schedule and prices. I'm debating all sorts of games I could go to this season and trying to figure out which seems most worth my time and money.

Terminal B. I always take the monorail to gates 70-99. I always fly through Delta when going to Orlando and back.

Absolutely. I plan to keep doing these every year. I have a lot of fun making these videos. I'm hoping to make three or four more Valleyfair videos this summer. I'm extremely excited to be able to make Valleyscare videos this fall too. I'll be making at least two of those this fall.

Should be a great one. Have fun!!!

I have yet to buy a ticket, but I’m hoping I could go to a primetime home game, which I believe is against the Bears I believe. Otherwise, I’ll go to the Colts Vikings rematch noon game if I have the money, or maybe when we play ATL(against KIRKO chainz nonetheless), I’m not too sure yet, but I’m trying to save up some money

@@Godless-Beingthere is a really good deal on Vikings vs lions I found on ticket master. Section 105 row 7 for $275.

You're welcome!

My pleasure!

Absolutely. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Well no reason to mess with what works right? Any plans to go back?

@@rollercoastermotor1665 I’d definitely go back. I’ve been wanting to go back since then just never have. That place is cool & I think it flies under the radar compared to other places in the gulf coast

@@shooterridge Absolutely. I agree 100%. I'd love to go back here. The entire gulf coast region is beautiful. I really enjoyed how quiet and peaceful this place was.

Yeah it was certainly an interesting looking storm. Glad it came and went so I could still enjoy the park.

@@rollercoastermotor1665 I left after the storm passed. It was my third and final day at the park. I live in NC and my home park is Carowinds

@@rhodium785 Oh ok gotcha. I am very jealous that you get to ride Fury 325. I very much hope to ride that thing someday.

@@rollercoastermotor1665 fury 325 is really good. It’s my #1. I prefer it over steel vengeance

Yeah kind of. I might be going to Six Flags Over Georgia in just over a month here. I plan to make a video from that experience. It will be fun to compare and contrast the two.

Absolutely. I would love to explore the pan handle someday. Anywhere in particular you recommend?

​@@rollercoastermotor1665Anywhere in Florida is nice. Water is crystal clear and sands are soft like sugar. You could visit Pensacola and Destin. Those two places are famous for tourists. You could visit Navarre Beach if you want a little less people. Orange Beach Alabama is also nice.

Thanks for watching!

I would estimate it is somewhere between a quarter and a half mile from the pier to the beach. Maybe they have wheelchairs available? Or perhaps you'd be able to bring one onto the ship?

If you take the Ship Island Excursion ferry from Gulfport harbor you can bring a wheelchair, walker, cane or whatever you need to walk on the pier. Don’t let something like that keep you from visiting Ship Island.

Thank you!!!

Thank you very much. I did indeed have a great trip. I will return to Florida many times throughout my life.
