Speaking of heading on your way to a coaster let's get to
Wildfire.
Wildfire with a hillside location with an observation deck that sits
over most of the ride this is by far the most photogenic ride in the
park. Actually the rest of the coasters are quite photogenic but
covered up in trees or plunging down the hillside away from the park
makes them hard to shoot.
Outside of being photogenic Wildfire is one of the most visually
stunning coasters to ride.
Cresting the top of the lift and turning as you approach the top of the
drop all of Table Rock Lake in the valley below is laid out before your
eyes
I am a person of faith but most of the time I don't feel that connection
with God. Mostly it is me just not being able to let go and relax.
Put me on a coaster and I feel that connection and on most rides there
will be some sort of a prayer come out of me. Religious or not I
dare you to take Wildfire for a ride at sunset, look out upon the valley
as it is bathed in the final rays of light for a day and in that second
before plunging down that 155 foot drop tell me you don't feel a little
amazed, awed and awakened to the majesty of the world around you.
