TPRMemes 4: Theme Park Good Guy Greg!
CoasterDude211 replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've worked really hard on this and spent several hours decoding various memes. After several table reads and rewrites, I present my art. -
1. Drive 2. 50/50 3. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo 4. Young Adult 5. Insidious 6. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows 7. Super 8. Contagion 9. Bridesmaids 10. Rango Numbers 1-5 were pretty easy to rank, but it became much more difficult to rank with 6-10. The majority of good movies I saw were released in fall/winter. Unlike previous years, there were no huge summer blockbusters that I fell in love with.

I definitely agree. I've only been going since HHN 14, but the houses seem to lack the "intensity" and "out-of-control" feeling that they used to have. Now, most of the houses are just eerie and not actually scary. Having said that, I still love this event and am very eager to see what this year can offer.

Theme Park Review in JAPAN! 2011
CoasterDude211 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think it is awesome how detailed your coverage is of your trip here! I had been looking for a good Splash Mountain POV and was very happy to see you got one! I really enjoyed the update! -
New TPR Header Logo...
CoasterDude211 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I really like it. I think it is a huge improvement and think the new quote is perfect for setting the tone of the site. -
Robb & Elissa go to Park City, Utah!
CoasterDude211 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Looks like an awesome trip! I've always wanted to go to ski resort like this and try my luck at skiing and other winter activities. I think it is great to see updates other than coasters as this type of stuff looks just as awesome! -
Photo TR: TPR's Middle America Trip
CoasterDude211 replied to XII's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Thanks for posting these! I enjoy reading PTRs more in the off-season as I miss going to parks. Personally, I really like Six Flags St. Louis, but I think I'm partial because I grew up going there. And as a result, every other Batman seems backwards to the one I grew up with! -
The Official TPR 2010 Europe Trip Thread
CoasterDude211 replied to atem122's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Another quality video from Piers! He really needs his own television show. -
Thorpe Park Discussion Thread
CoasterDude211 replied to Rooey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I actually like when haunts use gross, yet familiar smells. HHN has used poo and vomit smells in past houses and it seemed effective at disturbing people. It can add a sense a realism to a house if it is done right and not over used. -
1. I think it is a great idea. Many websites or applications have the free version and the pro version (IMDB). The pro doesn't take away from the free, but simply provides more for regular visitors. It makes sense that this should be offered. 2. Not yet. All the perks sound great and worth the fee. 3. Yes, the benefits seem worth the price. 4. If there was a year in which I was unable to participate on trips or meet up with TPR, I might not sign up for the membership. 5. I really like the that the $15 TPR store credit is included and that priority would be given to premium members, especially after seeing how quick seats were filled for the 2010 round of trips.

Universal Orlando Kids Survey
CoasterDude211 replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Very interesting. Yo Gabba Gabba would fit in perfectly at Universal because they are both cool for kids and adults! I've taken a few UO HHN surveys in the past, and many of the event themes actually came true. The survey following HHN 17 mentioned the possibility of urban legends and Saw themes, which both happened. We can only hope... -
24 Days of Theme Park Review Videos!
CoasterDude211 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Awesome segment! Really enjoy the Expedition segments and seeing how TPR can make any park fun! More parks should invest in "Build Your Own Theming" to cater to the more artistic children. -
TPR's Deep South 2009 Trip!
CoasterDude211 replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I have been to SFOG many times, and that day was easily the best experience I've had at the park! It was such a fun, laid back day with tons of rides! Also, the hour of Mindbender ERT was awesome. Every single ride packed a punch, especially at night. I was telling Tyler that I don't think I can go back to the park anytime soon because I was so spoiled that day and it just wouldn't be the same. Thanks Robb for putting such a good day together! -Robby -
Disney to acquire Marvel
CoasterDude211 replied to ParkTrips's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't understand why Disney felt the need to buy Marvel for its super heroes when they already have the best super hero out there - Handy Manny.
