Elissa I sent you an email...my deposit will hopefully be sent by tomorrow.

The full site is up!

Tomorrow is the Official Press Release!

My payment should be sent out on Friday, still not sure which trip...most likely East Coast. Does the lottery start once over 100 people have sent in their deposit?

Here's mine... Wait....that's not motivational is it... It may just be me, but this thread seems pointless.

^Thanks, I’m starting to think the East Coast Trip is a little more realistic for me this time around.

I was just messing around looking at travelocity to see about how expensive plane tickets would be. A flight from Tampa Airport to Paris(for Europe Trip)was well over $1,000 is that normal?

^Nice find! Here's a picture of the piece of paper. I'm not sure if this was for a future update or something didn't line up right. Anyways, it's pretty cool! EDIT: Apparently there is a crumbled ball of paper on the screen that I missed, and that piece of paper pops up. So something is just wrong with the alignment, similar to the random noises when you click on certain areas of The Thing page.

The single riders line might as well not even be there! At some point in time they need to extend it to the front entrance so you can choose, Single Rider or normal line.

I was just about to post that Behind the Scenes picture! It looks AWESOME!

Yes, Maverick is definitely worth waiting for. It really just depends on how much patience you have while waiting in a long line. I saw spiders all over CP when I went. They were freaking everywhere!

^Treaks and Foons made an appearance in Diso, didn't they? The poster squared off from the post above is probably for the freak show.

Back to school today... I already have homework!

I was reading the Europe Trip Flyer, and saw that 16-17 year olds could travel without a parent/guardian. I thought I had read somewhere else that anyone under 18 could not go on an over seas trip without a parent/guardian. Was that a mistake, or did you guys change your mind?

Nice pictures! I have a D-SLR and I've found it to somewhat of a pain to carry around the parks. I probably just haven’t gotten used to a camera that doesn't fit in my pocket! Anyways, Geauga Lake was a really weird park to visit. It's strange seeing a park that looks like it's been closed down, operating! You really think so? I found it to be very 'meh'. The pre-lift was pretty cool though, I hadn't seen anything like that before. All the coasters at GL are rough in one way or another, including Dominator.

I'm definitely interested in the East Coast Trip! Will it be the same size group as the Midwest Trip, or does it depend on how many people sign up?

It wasn't as pathetic as I thought it would be. At least I didn't have to wait in line for it! I could definitely see flyers at this park, but it seems to be centered towards kids not families...hence the name, I guess.

^The acid But I'm sure if she sent me her burnt eyes I could sell them on Ebay!

I pretty much agree with everything posted before me. Awesome drawings!

Can I have some when you’re done?

I agree, Disaster Transport was so "WTF is going on?". I didn't expect much from it, but I did end up enjoying it. I'm still trying to figure out when I was in Alaska during that ride

I may be going out on a limb here, but I believe a perfect score for diving(as in the sport) is 10. A diving themed Dive Machine?

For my 16th birthday my Dad took me to Ohio, and we stopped by this tiny park on our way to Cedar Point driving from Geauga Lake. I was planning on posting my pictures from all of the parks, but with the Midwest TRs I thought posting more Cedar Point pictures might be a slight overkill. Anyways, Memphis Kiddie Park was about five minutes form Cleveland Hopkins Airport. It had one credit, Little Dipper, which is great for the kids! I’ll write more in the captions. I'm not sure if this park gets a lot of publicity so enjoy! Thanks for reading! This was a fun little place to stop by, and there was quite a crowd so this park might actually survive a few more years! This was a little boat ride, and on the right you can see the K'nex-esque Ferris wheel. Ride Restrictions were pretty much the same standard stuff. This is a shot from the parking lot...this is a boring caption. Here is the main part of the ride before the turn back into the station. The little bunny hills actually had a little airtime, but once again if you are over 4ft it was painful! Here’s the top of the lift. There is about a 1 foot drop right before the lift that kills your back when you are taller than 4ft! Not the most flattering picture, but it gives you a good idea of how small the trains are. I’m about 5’9, and to fit in the train I had to sit “Indian Style” to fit! I figured wearing my TPR shirt might make it seem less pathetic...I don't think it worked. And by the looks of this...I believe it! "Kiddie Coaster Porn"? Little Dipper! Apparently it's the oldest standing steel coaster in North America. You can pretty much see the whole park from this shot. The parking lot probably parked about 100 cars, and the lot was twice the size of the park. Here's the park's signage. It was a cool little park, and they actually let adults/tall people on their coaster! Also every ride was only one ticket, which was only $1.50.

I rode Maverick a few days ago, and it was freaking awesome! My very first ride my train rolled back in the tunnel. They let us re-ride, and it was a pretty cool experience. Anyways, the ride was amazing. The airtime kicked Millennium forces ass! It was probably my favorite ride at the the park, besides Raptor, which I didn't get a chance to ride.

The TCM update is up! The code is insanely hard to figure out...have fun
