ChrisZer0 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 That..was greatness...I could hear both Lou and That Hoffman Girls hipbones breaking. I say we take up a fund to get em both a replacement set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
307 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 You guys should just stop beating around the bush, and make your 2008 group trip, "The 2008 TPR Orgy". It seems like most of these group excursions are just veils so you can grab the boobs and butts of one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNynex2003 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Looks like you guys are having a fun time in Spain. I would've come with you guys but I'm saving up for a trip to California next year and I'll need a lot of money for that trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse_rider! Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Looks like Lou's head has grown out of Robb's on this pic. Great pictures though...jealous - yes. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmBy Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Great photos from the first day, can't wait to see the updates from the next parks on the schedule. Â Loving those Oreos biscuits too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermaniac1 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I was in Parque Atracciones yesterday the 29th and I have to say I thought the ride-op's were terrible and the park was average but Abismo was fantastic. I thought Tarantula was very disapointing and dull. Tornado is crap in the front but good in the back and the drop tower was closed. Â Great pictures.

Macca1111 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 When I read a six hour delay, I knew you were in Newark. I've never talked to anyone who's made it out of that airport on time. You were lucky to get meal vouchers - when we were stuck, all of the shops closed down! Awesome pictures - made me want to go to Spain again!

Duane Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 That was awesome! Is it supposed to go back through the station like that or is that what caused it to go down? Â The one here in Arkansas does the same thing. It's not an extended version, but the first time it roars through the station it goes up the lift hill and free-falls back through the station. Then on the final trip through the station it heads back up the lift hill and the chain catches it, after a few seconds the chain lowers it slowly back to the station. As far as I know, these things don't have traditional brakes, there is a mechanism to hold it in place while in the station, but it is not used to slow the train down.

Duane Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 "How's it going Magic Springs?" Just hangin' around. Thanks for plugging the park. Just when I thought our 15 minutes of fame was over, Robb mentions little ol' Magic Springs all the way from Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operations weren't perfect during our visit, but they were MUCH improved over our visit last year. Â Â I thought Tarantula was very disapointing and dull. I think you'll find that most everyone in our group would disagree, but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 Today we were at Isla Magica in Seville which is in the southern part of Spain. To get here, we went on another little "adventure" and took the bullet train from Madrid! Because this park is so far away from most everything else, this is really the only way to make the trip without having a very long drive! Â When we got to the park, they gave us some "bonus ERT" before the park opened on their new Pirates themed shooting dark ride and treated us to some new movies in their 4D motion simulator theater. The "haunted house" one was VERY cool in that bizarre sort of way, but the 2nd film we watched, we all felt like we just went through some kind of acid trip! Â Then onto the SLC with the "BONUS HELIX!!!" And there is even video for you to see what we're talking about! If you don't know, some of the Vekoma SLC's out there have a little "bonus helix" bit at the very end of the ride before it hits the brakes. It was very cool to get the "bonus helix", but I gotta say this had to be one of the roughest SLC's I've ridden. Â Oh well... Â We did some kiddie coaster credit whoring, had lunch, did the log flume, checked out some of the other rides and then it was time for the group to head out. Â I have to say, the park is REALLY nice.....but it does lack at least one, maybe 2 "signature" rides. They did have a wall up with a "concept drawing" of their new Vekoma mine train coaster that is supposedly coming next year. That will help. But this park SCREAMS "get me a really kick ass B&M". Â Anyway, back onto the bullet train home and now we're ready for the next day..... bonushelix.wmv Video of the Vekoma SLC with the "Bonus Helix!" Kyle's all "My left thumb is girthier than my right thumb!" Â Thanks again to everyone for keeping up with us on the trip. Check for another update tomorrow! Figures our Brits would be in here! Hey guys, try not to miss the bus tomorrow! (Love you really!) Much silliness occured In the "bar car" of the train. It was time to head back onto the bullet train to get back to Madrid. Â Photo by Jeff Johnson For lunch, Hector and Jon had a bull sandwich. Â Photo by Kyle Miller ...no, seriously! It really does!!! ...the drop tower that changes programs every hour... The "hump the turtle" ride.... After the whoring it was time to hit up a few other rides. First the log flume.... And are there two bigger credit whores anywhere else? I don't think so! Â Photo by Jeff Johnson Time to do a bit of credit whoring because that's what we do. This one's for all the Great Adventure fan boys! Â Photo by Jeff Johnson The park really IS very beautiful...it just needs a couple more "big" rides. ...but they wouldn't let him ride....so they improvised! After the Ghetto Fair Chris really REALLY wanted to do the Llama ride... And there it is...you are lookin at the actual BONUS HELIX! Â Photo by Jeff Johnson Now time for the Vekoma SLC with the "Bonus Helix!!!" (watch the video!) Yay! for bonus 3D movie ERT! Once inside the gates, JimmyBo got molested by some Spanish drag queen pirate thing. It was quite disturbing! Â Photo by Kyle Miller Yup, it's a park sign. Pretty huh? Doesn't it make you think of fresh flowers and mushrooms? Â Photo by Jeff Johnson We're only happy because the free movie on the train was some wacky Richard Gere crap about a Spelling Bee! Jeff has a slight Joygasm (or maybe he had a Ya-Ya) over riding the bullet train. Â Photo by Jeff Johnson Here we are on the "Wild Mouse" escalator! Bright and early we got to the Madrid train station to catch the bullet train to Seville. bonushelix_882.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme102 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hey, loving the updates! Looks like you guys are having a great time! And I gotta say that looks like a really painful Vekoma, but I hope the bonus helix made up for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
