Valleyfair Visit


We used our Valleyfair season passes (gifts from Santa) for the first time this year.  It was a beautiful Saturday, the skies a deep blue and cloudless. We decided to hit the main rides first to avoid the extra long waits later in the afternoon. First stop, Steel Venom (right), Andrew's favorite ride and one that I will not ever be riding. I also passed on Power Tower and the Xtreme Swing (above), though I do think that ride is really cool. I did try the Wild Thing for the first time. It's a very high coaster with a 200 foot, 60˚ drop. I still haven't decided if I enjoyed it, but I did have to buy the photo of Andrew and me on it.
