*jealous jealous jealous jealous jealous*
My protest on all things Scandanavian is in full effect. My girlfriend and I went to Panera Bread the other night. She had a danish for dessert, I showed her what I thought of it...
Matt Damon says "Screw you guys, no one should be having fun if I'm not there."
Mary-Anne says "Hi Andrew!"
-
*continues bashing head against wall for not listening to Andrew and Divv's peer pressure*
Now that the trip has moved on to Germany, Brad and I will be protesting Weinerschnitzel and Strudel.
That picture of Lou with her veins popping out was just scary!
-
I knew I should've broken the budget so I could go on this trip.
As part of my ongoing protests I will not be eating any Danishes while the group is in Denmark.

Thank you for doing these updates Big Mike! I've made MANY friends via TPR so I absolutely love getting to keep track of everyone on the trips I can't make it out on.
Keep up the amazing work! I know firsthand how taxing it is to do a LIVE trip report!
Next time you come up to Wonderland please give me a heads up! I'd like to get my Big Mike picture! Also seems like we'll have some friends in common now!
-
I'd like to say a special thank you to those who gave me a call from Ikealand. I'm going to get in contact with Roach and Fudge #1 so we can start the "Anti-Scandi" group.
Thanks for doing the updates Robb! I'm able to keep track of everyone this way and watch all the insanity I'm missing out on.

Keep us updated Adam! I'm reallllllly looking forward to checking out this new area when it opens up!
-
^ CLASSIC! I'd totally forgotten that SM was getting a redo. Unfortunately I haven't been to WDW since about 1989, but I think that will all change once a neighboring park opens a certain new section.
I'm thinking you should join some friends (Divv, Lou, Andrew, etc...) and I in Orlando for Halloween/Potterland in 2010!
-
Great postcards! I still love the idea of this thread Mark!
And yes, it really has been 6 years. My how the time fly's when you're riding coasters.
-
I've seen Matt Damon at theme parks a bunch of times.
-
Another Divv trip report that I wasn't a part of! GREAT! Yet another opportunity for you to make me jealous and rub in all the extra credits you've got.
Can't wait to see the rest of this! You're inspiring me to get a move on finishing my Behemoth Bash update, as well as do my Orlando trip one. They're also being posted in "Lou Time".
-
Brilliant Divv! We talked about this on the trip, but sadly it didn't get to see the light of day until now.
I'll be adding my own pictures later on! I can't wait to hear what Mr. Allen has to say about all this.
-
Great shots as always Hanno! I can't wait to see the rest of this report.
It was awesome getting to see you and hang out a bit again. I need to know your secrets to getting the shots in that shark tank.
-
Ummmmm...Can we delete that and pretend it never happened?
Please?
I can't even fake sarcasm on that one, it was just a pure screw up. I took one too many pucks to the head apparently.
Hahaha.

I couldn't think of a better company to build the first wooden coaster in China. The GCI coasters are the perfect fit for introducing a wood to a new culture. They provide thrilling rides while remaining incredibly smooth. Gravity Group rides would probably be too intense for them to start off with.
-
^ You're right because there's also a Quebec flag on the lift a little farther down. It nearly loses points for flying that flag in conjunction with the Canadian flag...but the Canadian flag is higher up the lift so I won't make the deduction.
-
The layout looks really neat! I'm looking forward to the first reviews of this to hear what the airtime is like!
This coaster also gets 10 bonus points for having a Canadian flag flying at the top!
-
I demand more photos of lamp posts for Mr. Fudge.

You should really try to check out the threads that are already existing on the boards and see if there's anything interesting on there that you want to reply to. Every post you makes doesn't have to be a new topic. I'm sure there are plenty of other threads out there that you can add your thoughts on instead of always trying to come up with something new.
Also, don't make a "best of" thread if you've only been to 2 parks.
-
I WISH I WAS THERE WITH YOU!!!!
*Ahem*. Now that's out of the way...it looks like you guys had a blast! I really need to get out to the UK and see these parks some time. Nemesis looks too good to pass up!
I miss our Hooters antics.
-
To Robb and Elissa: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! It was an amazing trip filled with many many hilarious memories, including Robb's attempt at leaving me behind which backfired on him. It was another perfectly planned vacation by you 2, and I can't wait until I can make it out for another TPR event! Also, I'd like to thank god that I wasn't there to witness Piers swimming naked. I don't know if I could've recovered from such a sight. I'm still in therapy trying to cope with seeing Guy in a speedo!
To everyone else on the trip, thank you as well! I had a great time seeing old friends again (Hooooooters) and made a few new ones as well! It really is the people that make the TPR trips so amazing. I've been to Disney World 7 times, but this was the best time I've had yet!
-
Nice start to your update! I had a BLAST at the Food and Wine Festival. Definitely one of the key highlights of the trip for me. Epcot is still my favourite Disney park, has been since I was a kid.
Was nice meeting you and hanging out a bit while down there!
-
I'm using Opera (the only person so far!?) and only see the first one. My flash is pretty up to date.
-
I'd be looking forward to trying this almost as much as I look forward to my next ride on a Volare.
I'll take a pass on both opportunities thanks!
-
I bought this postcard on my visit to Geauga Lake (then Six Flags Worlds of Adventure) back in 2003.
I remember that trip! Tis back when I was just a budding coaster enthusiast. Good times.
Awesome thread Mark! I'll be following along with this one for sure. Might even have to send you some contributions as well!

Fudge #1 is on the trip now too!? Blahhhh. I am not at all pleased.
Thanks for keeping us posted Mike! I really appreciate the Friends, Family, and Loved Ones updates! They let me know who I have to blackball once the trip is over.
