TPR's Ever Evolving Park Index
Coastinmiller replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Not sure if you have some of these larry, but here are some new ones of Storybook land NJ.: www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=59556 -
I am not the type of person to do many photo TR's, but considering there aren't many of storybook land and 2 huge milestones (my 600th and my daughter's 1st credit) I figured why not. So here goes: When my wife asked me what I wanted to do this weekend in the middle of the week, of course I said "I want my 600th". So she said go ahead and plan a trip to where you want. Well work complications did not allow me to do the original trip (a whole weekend hitting all the NYC parks), so I decided to go to Ocean City NJ and AC NJ to hit those parks and finish off all the credits there. We would leave on Saturday after I got done work. It couldn't of worked out better as we were there for the opening of Gillian's and Playland's opening at 1 pm. I hate pay per ride as I feel it burns a hole in your wallet, we knocked off both parks in an hours time each. Also not one for paying for a beach permit to hit the beach, we decided to head up to AC for free beach and steel pier. AC was a mistake. Man has it changed over the years. It's horrible. No pics of Steel Pier, just wanted the heck out of there. We hit steel pier real quick, tried the beach thing with the 2 year old (that wasn't happening) and left as quick as possible. Checked into the hotel and called it a day. Next day was Stroybookland. I was here as a small child myself, but don't remember it at all. Very nice kids park. Kids 33" and up can ride all but one ride with adults. Great shade everywhere in the park, very family friendly and great ride attendants. Overall I really liked this place. Not as good as Idlewild, but came close. Anyway onto the pics....Hope you enjoy. Sorry theres no more, tough to take pics with a wild 2 year old who really only wants daddy. PS. I added some stuff for you to Larry, not sure if you have some of it. Looks like 2 new rides are going in, a frog hopper themed to jack & the beanstalk and a drop tower themed to Tick Tock Clock. First stop Gillian's Wonderland. We'll start Klaire off small. I got a quick lap on Runaway Train Klaire's First Credit!!! Minor Mike Mommy's Turn Klaire's 2nd credit. Another lap for Nicole and Klaire Then headed over to Playland so Klaire cold get another credit. Sea Serpent She loves slides Look at that face Nicole's turn 1st rocking tug credit...check Final spin on Playland's carousel Next day....Storybook Land Admissions Bubbles coaster credit Mommy's turn Ride signage Train Time Lost in Alice's card maze Up up and away So happy Couldn't get her off these cars Another rockin tug credit Cool structure for the goats. You pull a bucket of feed up to them. Park Map No more carousel???? New Drop tower Tick Tock Clock New frog hopper, Jack and the beanstalk Closer look at it

Mid America trip advice.
Coastinmiller replied to thrillrider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

My plant shuts down a week for the 4th and we are hitting: 1) All-Star Adventures 2) Frontier City 3) Route 66 Carousel (hopefully) 4) Silver Dollar City 5) Schlitterbahn KC 6) Worlds of Fun 7) Adventureland 8) Arnolds 9) Valleyfair 10) Nick universe and Como Town Sorry no help, just thought it was a pretty neat coincidence. -

Best Miniature Golf courses
Coastinmiller replied to Rastuso's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As stated on the first page Village Greens in PA is my current favorite, but they were affiliated with a second course Pine Creek in West Amwell NJ which was even better, but it looks like it closed up. -

Late to the party as usual, but have to agree with you Larry. Rode it last year as well and it was awesome, not my number one but in my top ten. Just a great fun ride. -

Everyone voted "no" to reject the future contract here at work, which was the right thing to do. The company counters by shutting down the shop and future productions on one of the oil tankers currently being built. More future lay-offs before the holidays are looming. F-this place.

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

Coaster Thrill Ride at the Puyallup Fair. Not as good as I had hoped for, but still nice to get an old credit far away and be at a good American Fair. -
TPR's Middle America and IntimidaTOUR 2010 Trips!
Coastinmiller replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Thanks to Robb and Elissa and all the countless others (King's Dominion staff) who helped put this event together. We truly had a great time and it was good to meet some old friends from previous trip and make some new ones. Look forward to some future trips. Thanks Again, The Millers. -
Voted, and I'll keep doing it every day!

Hello Title Fairy. It's been awhile collecting 150 posts, but I have finally managed to do it. I can have my title change to "TPR's table shuffleboard pro".

Club TPR is Coming in March!
Coastinmiller replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yup, I see it. Can't wait. -
Just need to clarify which type of shuffleboard. I play tabletop shuffleboard and am only 33. The ohter shuffleboard yes, but tabletop, not so much.

The bobsled run for the summer there is pretty fun. They have since 1980 built a new track, so now they have 2 runs. When I did it a few years ago, they wouldn't let you on the new track. but you did the 1980 run. The old track they take you halfway up and start from there, the sled is on wheels. They have a driver and a brakeman, so you just go along for the ride, but manage to get some decent speeds. I could post pictures of it when I get home from work.

Are you working during the holidays?
Coastinmiller replied to robbalvey's topic in Random, Random, Random
I'm working to gain more vacation. We already get paid for the holiday period from 12/23-1/4, any additional time worked gains personal time. But it still sucks being here. -
^Will definitely continue the madness V probably insane anyway
