^So you're saying people that do meth won't have fun at a Rock and Roll Theme Park? Living in Arizona, I can tell who the tourists are and I can tell you that yes there is a majority of older people that need to learn how to drive and get the hell off the road but then surprisingly there are a lot of families that do come through here. Like someone has said before...Arizona is just a state between California and Texas. Do you think those Californians or Texans wouldn't stop in AZ for one day on there way to another state?

Good luck with this Robb. I have actually started to gain a little weight now that all I do is sit on my butt at work and stare at a computer. Before when I worked at Pizza Port and ate aand drank all the time there you would think I would have gained weight there but no. I ran around a lot at my old job and usually smelled like beer, pizza, and sweat when I came home. Now, I come home and I feel lazy. I think when I get my Wii I will play the boxing game and some dancing game to get me back in shape. Anyway, good luck Robb. Maybe you should try the "Spartan 300 Workout". My roommate could only do that for a week and he used to be a marine.

Having designed stuff in Pinal County recently, this county is one strict SOB. If they do get this theme park approved (and I sure hope they do!) it will be sometime before we even start seeing ground breaking construction. Pinal County likes to take their sweet time to approved plans. I would still like to know what parcel they own in Pinal County. I might just look it up when I go into work on Monday and see if I can find any info where it might be in Eloy. If anyone knows where in Eloy it might go that would be helpful.

Thanks Robb. Ordered the DVD and can't wait to "ride" some of the rides again. By the way...the new store is looking pretty sexy Jimmy "Looks like I'll be getting a new DVD player" Bo

Is it possible to get the DVD's without the labels? Sometimes, only TPR DVD's skip in my ghetto DVD player and I think it's mostly cuz of the labels. So can I get them without labels or should I just buy a new DVD player.

I don't care if this is a huge rumor but I seriously think Arizona needs a theme park. Only having Castle's 'N Coasters really sucks. I bet they are looking at the place that was suppose to be built as a theme park right off of Interstate 10. Eloy is the perfect place because it's half way between Tucson and Phoenix (the 2 largest cities in the state) and would definitely attract college students. If this really picks up then I am totally going to try and find a job for whatever company it is.

Face it, we all want to see the Wild Animal park gets some rides but I highly doubt that they will. I haven't been to this park in quite some time but it is nice to see that they are trying to improve on it since it was outdated back when I went there last. I do agree with Hector about Sea World and the Zoo and Wild Animal Park not really attracting the same crowd. It would make sense to do all three and maybe even skip Sea World because it's not like they don't have 3 others. If they do get a ride it will be an antique car ride that goes around where the monorail used to go...that way the general public can try and out run a real life lion or tiger.

TPR winning this award pretty much sums up how much Robb and Elissa kick @$$ and how much time and effect goes into making this awesome website. I remember it way back in the day when you could get the Coaster Season's on VHS and when it didn't have the forums. I hate to say but I know it may sound retarded and childish but I think my life would seriously suck if I didn't have TPR and it wasn't as cool as it is now. Thanks Robb and Elissa!

I have to agree with Will about the Canon. I have a Canon and it does give me crap every now and then. I'm not one for the hard disk stuff though and I recommend getting a camcorder that uses MiniDV's. Also, pretty much a must if you are going to film onride footage is to get yourself a wide angle lens. Make sure that the camcorder that you do get has a wide angle lens made for that model and it won't cost you a lot of money. I think certain lens are really cheap at Best Buy.

It's all about Castles 'N Coasters all the way baby...yeah! Only the best theme park in the state of Arizona...maybe because it's the only f*cking theme park in this state! God I hate the desert! I'll be going to Sivlerwood too sometime next year and the usual California parks and Vegas again. No TPR Trips for JimmyBo next year

If you actually do ride "horseback" style I think Knott's should install an effect during Haunt that takes riders heads off so they can be the headless horseman. I still miss the Soap Box Racers and are they putting this ride around Bigfoot Rapids? Does anyone know where they might fit it?

I think I remember reading something about this over on Screamscape but I thought the rumor was to just give Earthquake a different opening sequence. I guess they are going for a whole new ride. Good for them. Outside of Twister, which truly sucks in my opinion, Earthquake was another "done it once don't need to waste my life doing it again" attraction. Hopefully this will be pretty awesome.

I'm really glad to see that SFMM is trying to improve X (which in my opinion was the best coaster in the park in it's debut year.) X has definitely gone to crap in the past couple of years and I don't even ride it anymore because it just causes too mush pain on every inch of my body. I'm glad to hear that new trains are coming. I don't really care about the "new effects" or whatever but I'm just glad to know that I might be able to ride X again and have it not crush my balls and chest. I think that's a $10 million well spent!

What's better...learning how to spell or making a pointless thread that's already been made?

If you want to do the rides then go during the day as the lines are a lot shorter. About an hour before the park closes for the day head over to TGI Friday's and eat there and wait till Haunt opens. Then when Haunt opens it's a madhouse but still fun if you bring the right crowd. I've done the rides during the day/mazes at night thing at Knott's for the past 4 years and it seems to work out just fine. Have fun but don't expect the awesomeness that is Universal! Instead expect the ghettoness that is Knott's

I visited Disneyland when I was about 1/2 a year old. My sister was 3 and it was her first time. I think my first ride was the Merry-go-round but whatever. I still remember my first roller coaster...Mattehorn Boobsled. Since I'm a Cali resident I can't vote...I don't feel special being from So Cal. Jimmy "I actually can't wait for the DCA to open" Bo

This is probably one of the most scariest of all Halloween Photo Trip Reports I have ever seen! Every picture was scary especially the one with the Freddy Mask and you kissing Jack...literally probably one of the freakiest things I've seen in Orlando. I nearly pissed my pants reading this report...good job jedi

My favorite Arrow used to be Viper at SFMM but now since I've grown the restraints just kill my shoulders. I think Canyon Blaster at the Adventure Dome Circus Playground for adults is my favorite because that is still the only coaster where I've actually blacked out on (back in the day). Sadly, Desperado at Buffalo Bills is up there on my list too because it's so tall, fast and LONG! You get your money's worth.

Can you take a picture of the broken Huss ride for me? I've always wanted to see broken rides rather than open ones. THANKS!

I'm not going on a single trip next year because my parents won't let Robb and Elissa be my parents for two weeks. It's that they don't trust me it's just that they don't trust Robb and Elissa! ^Sarcasm for those of you that don't get my sense of humor. I'll be on the Europe trip and I'll bring you the deposit this weekend. Ryan, Silent K or as I now call him after the Spain trip Sleepy K, will be coming to Europe as well!

Great pictures Jeff. I had a blast hanging out with you old man and watching freak out like a little girl when you touched the slug at Tripsdrill. Good memories. JimmyBo

Back on the Spain trip, resident big man (Big Mike) was selected to try and rip a phone book in half. Well, it didn't work out so well and Big Mike got beat by a girl. Here's the video to prove it. And for all those people wanting those pictures of the girls in bikini's at the waterpark...sucks for you. Big Mike just sent them to me and they are AMAZING! But I'm not going to post them because I don't have Mike's permission and they might be a little too risque for a public website. If you'd like to see them...Email Dan Big Mike.wmv Big Mike gets beat by a girl!

Last time I was at Cedar Point it had 2 Aquatrax coasters. And what happened to Dave (methos)? Sleep in?

Second, go to Adventure City, Castle Amusement Park, and Scandia. All three of those are better than Universal hands down...sorry Joey!

Highlights of my day... Going to work Getting B*tched at by my boss Getting B*tched at by my co-worker Getting B*tched at by my EX-roommate Hearing about everyone else's day on the TPR Midwest Trip Still wondering why there are no BIG MIKE pics. HA!
