Roman, Myself, and our friends Jessi and Nicole decided to spend Saturday's beautiful afternoon at MarineLand. Admitedly, this was mostly because we found out that Sky Screamer finally opened on Canada Day (July 1). The 3 100 m towers sit on top of a large mountain at the centre of the park, and dominate the Niagara skyline. They can be seen from very far away, espically from downtown Niagara Falls!

Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures! MarineLand is an awesome park, I can't wait for them to finish the restaurant and other buildings up top on the mountain. It's going to be beautiful!

Thanks for the pictures!
How do u like Sky Screamer?

Thanks for the pictures

Hi Iain,
thanks for sharing your pictures. Especially the "head-brain"-pics and of course all the pics of the rides of the park.

@ Nefasturris,

I think that Sky Screamer is my new favourite S+S freefall tower, my previous favourite was probably "Scream" at Fiesta Texas. I like it because it gives a very long ride. I also really like Power Tower at Cedar Point and... well, I haven't really met a freefall tower that I didn't enjoy. The view from on top of Sky Screamer is amazing. Next time I'll have to try and get some photos.


@ Tejay,

Yeah, I don't know what was up with that (head-squeezing). I didn't realise how gross that looks until I looked at the pictures on my computer when I got home. We didn't know what the girls were giggling about in the back seat while being violent with our scalps.

We didn't know what the girls were giggling about in the back seat while being violent with our scalps.

Passenger's rule 432: Being violent to the driver is a reason for immediate removal from the car. Stopping the car for removing the violent person ist not necessary.

Nice photos!
