Photo TR: Chuck Looks Back at TPR's Europe Trip 2008

[TheRapidsNerdMullets never go out of style!]

Larry, Rich, Chuck, Terry, thanks for answering the waffle question. Silly as it sounds, I had to ask. Much appreciated.

EDIT: And Moose too.

Thanks for posting another great round Chuck.

[MooseWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

^Ahem. I gave you advice to go for the waffle and not other park "food."

I loved Bobbejaanland, even if it had a vendetta to get me soaked. You managed to capture the spirit of this park fairly well.

^ Whoops! Didn't mean to leave you out. Thank you for reminding me.

Chapter 5: Playgrounds and Coasters and Beer, Oh My! Toverland

NOTE FROM CHUCK’S INTERNAL EDITOR: As you may recall from our last episode, Chuck rambled on and on about how eccentric and awesome Bobbejaanland was. Yes, he just wouldn’t shut up about it. No matter how much people begged him. So, he’s promised not to ramble as much about Toverland.

Even though Toverland threw one of the single coolest parties ever, Chuck’s not going to ramble on about it.

Even though it’s another eccentric park, with indoor and outdoor sections crammed full of Greek myth and space aliens and elves and trolls and magic mushrooms and croquettes and beer and implements of death and destruction, he’s not going to ramble on about it.

Even though TPR had two-and-a-half hours of awesome ERT and food and beer, he’s not going to ramble on about it.

Why, he’s not even going to talk about the coasters and how he ranks them, which would’ve looked something like this (were Chuck to do it):

TROY!—He would’ve told how this was his second-favorite woodie of the trip thanks to it’s great mix of awesome laterals, ejector air, insane speed, and Trojan Horse themeing.

Booster Bike—He would’ve told how he liked the ride, but didn’t find it any better than Flamingoland’s version. Then he would’ve asked what was up with the alien-plant themeing.

Boomerang—He would’ve thanked God that this was not an actual Vekoma Boomerang, but an extra-large, indoor Rollerskater with a train theme. He liked it fine.

But he’s not going to say any of that. He’s going to show some rare restraint and just right into the pictures, such as they are.

That is all. Thank you for understanding.

Oh, he is allowed to say this: Thank you Robb, Elissa, and Toverland for the single best night of the entire TPR Europe Tour!

NOTE FROM CHUCK'S INTERNAL EDITOR: More pictures from Toverland. That is all.

NOTE FROM CHUCK'S INTERNAL EDITOR: This is the last set of Toverland photos. Then you can get on with your lives.

[coaster05I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

Man that place was fun. Great photos Chuck, that night absolutely ruled. It was the most fun crammed into 4 hours since Zaragosa.

[funkybadgerI just swallowed a whole donkey!]

Wow, those are some fun memories to relive! Kristie and I about killed each other (and drenched each other) every chance we got! And yes, I do remember the evening - it was probably my favorite day of the trip. Though I'm pretty sure you could take our group just about anywhere and we'd find a way to have fun! Nice job, Chuck! You're motivating me to finally work on some of my photos.

Chuck - looks like you got a picture of Kristie right after she leg whipped TPDave (you can see him writhing in pain) and right before she fell off the spinning thing and conked her head on the ground.

Melanie - work on the Bowcraft and Quassy PTRs, also.

Rich, however, crashed his raft into the wall and burst into flames--a true RCT moment.

Got a good chuckle out of that line, but glad Rich is ok.

Funny stuff at Toverland and kinda wierd to see Christie with beer in hand. Hey, glad you all had a good time and it's been fun to watch Team Larry's adventures through cfc's perspective.
