I thought you guys were going to Antartica? Man, I was totally looking forward to a TR from there...anyway, Ohana's looks insane and I cant wait to go back to Florida to eat some awesome flesh from animals.

Alright you all, some asked for it, some wanted it, and some didnt even see it coming...here's my video from Dollywood. It's pretty crappy quality (what do you expect from youtube?) but you get the idea. Let me know what you all think!

Thanks to everyone that made this trip awesome. For Tommy and James for showing me the sites, for Barron screamin like Arnie as usual, and for following peeps Brooks, Michael (madonna), and Alex meetin us out they. I give you Red-Neck butterflys Oh my God...A butterfly!!!

Don't piss off a red-neck Yeah, I won...my car kicked some major @$$ and I passed everyone After being a bunch of credit whores we race around the block in go-karts Bunny Hill...WooHoo!!!! Look at the red-neck coaster...it's RED! Nascar Speedpark...home of red-necks, go-karts, and a credit Look at his cute little red nose leading the way Rudicoaster!!! Credit!!! YEAH!!!! So why are we here in Santa's Land? Not the scenery, not the bears, not electric monkey island, not pig skin...... Yay, TPR approved...Jackasses!!! I don't think there's enough fish in this here lake MMMM, Pig skin never tasted so good before, BARF!! Don't believe me? Here ya go Hey everyone, it's Electric Monkey Island Look ma...they got deer too I bet that bear is popular with the ladies Oh my god, they gots bears here Oh wait, I ain't done yet...Santa's Land is next Thanks Dollyhizzle, it's been the shizzle Before we leave, Barron had to try on more clothes for his college attire I'll show her my gun Finally a good view for a straight guy...I've been waiting all day This here b the 7 mile 20 day long train ride...we didnt ride it cuz we'd still be on it but it's ok cuz the force from the ride made the pee fly outward toward everone watching That's Brooks...He's sad and pathetic and rode by himself on his first Disco...he wet himself Next up on the grand tour of Dollyhizzle is Dizzy Wizzy Hizzy Snizzy Disk

More goodness that is Dolly's Wood This here b the Veggie Tales kiddie whore credit coaster I mean, what the hell? At least we broke it after we rode it...seriously Time to ride the wunna be swings ...they have "fat people seats". Or you can fit two normal sized people in em too The swings, YAY!!!! but these swings are different.... You know you're special when you try on that crap...looks like Barron rides the short bus too Through the trees in all it's glory and wonder and red-neckness Next was Tennessee Tornado, the last Arrow Looper and probably the best in my opinion While I settled for my ACE sundae buffet...yes a sundae buffet...I was in heaven and if ACE found out about this it would go out of business Barron couldn't have Tommy's hot dog so he settled for a round thing with a hole in the middle Tommy had his muchie crave on Now I know why there were so many "large" people in Dollywood...the food is awesome and everyone eats everything Now what Dollywood is famous for...FOOD!!!! Yay!!! I found my short bus to school, wait...why am i going to school if i can't read and i'm only 22 Then we rode some other water ride that got everone wet...7 guys all wet on a hot summer days, interesting... We were all like "WTF was that ride?" Not to mention, you get completely drentched on the ride You ride down a slide in this foam thing that rips apart before reaching the bottom This is the evil Nazi lady that screamed and yelled at everyone. She's yelling at Barron to not make that face right now This be the mountain slidewinder or something like that... While James uses a fan to cool off his nipple After riding the Head of Thunder we decided to take a shower to rinse off from piss and vomit Thunderhead is definitely up there on my Top Ten Woody's This red-neck is about to piss his pants going down the first drop Weeeeee...Thunderhead is an awesome woody and I can't say I've been on a woody that's this awesome For those of you that dont know Tommy, you should slap yourself upside the face cuz he's famous...people know him Going up zee lift hill Wicked Turn. If you put your hands up on this turn they will be chopped off...even if you're a midget This would have been a great shot but too bad that annoying little Arnie Screamer is in the way Next up be Thunderhead

Here we go...Dollyhizzle and other shizzle with Tomizzle and other peepizzle This Photo Trip Report is brought to you in red-neck vision, if you are easily offended I suggest you continue to read on and enjoy this update I'll let the photos speak for themselves Here's some of the peeps we meet up with. James, Michael, Alex and Brooks Hey look Ma, I can take Dolly home with me...sweet! This here is a wet, hairy, squirting beaver...gotta love those beavers that squirt I'm wet all over and I like it Someone about to get their wet on This is a Topple Tower, you topple over and stuff You know she's not from around here if she's got a band-aid to cover up a heart tattoo Thank God my teeth were fixed before I saw this honey...Sweet Caroline For all those that need a dentist (which is pretty much everyone in Dollywood) Go here! James: "So you push this button to release?" Tommy: "God, you dont know what you are doing" James: "Oh, ok" ...so Tommy and James were the first riders on it This is Lumber Jack Lift, its for those who didnt get their work out in the morning... Second drop of doom and steepness into a tunnel that will soon be there It's all twisty and stuff and vertical...i like it when its vertical ooooo...vertical goodness Being part of the GAP we got a luxurious hard hat tour that no one else has had so BLAH! Who likes construction photos? I DO I DO Mystery Mine...soon to open Friday 13th but next year Welcome to Dollywood, where butterflys are the way of life and big busts make you famous This red-neck is finally ready to go to Dollywood A missed credit, this be Red Devil off in the distance But at least it has been sold and is scheduled to re-open next near Too bad it's closed On the way to Dollywood we pass by Ghost Town in the Sky ...and four adorable little roommates ...half naked statues, squirrels... Well, not really. It's Tommy and James' house and it's complete with a patio... The main reason I took this trip is to see the luxurious Polynesian Resort American Airlines... "No carry-ons aloud and we lose your checked baggage" Thaaaaanks Hi, I'm photo number 1 and this is San Deigo...bye bye San Diego

Good stuff Rich, good seeing you on Saturday and kicking butt in the TPR trivia at the party. Even though Derek cheated i still think we won. You can be part of the B.O.T.B.C. anytime

I heard Joe couldn't go on the UK trip cuz he was filing papers...but then again these are rumors

Nice report Derek. It was good to see you and other peeps from the UK trip again. You really captured the awesomeness that was a TPR party! Thanks for the beer and I'll get ya back in a couple weeks when you visit my brewery

Part 4: Party Time! Thanks again to everyone that made it out and to Robb and Elissa for planning an awesome day I want to thank Robb and Elissa and everyone else that made it out...I had an awesome time and I bet everyone else did And there ya go...Kristie or as only some of you know her as "The Hoffman Girl" I leave you fanboys out there with these next two pictures...no comment needed Well, Ryan was actually pushed...and tackled...and thrown...and jumped in the pool After food, some of us jump in the pool Casey, Tackle Derick! Jeff is special cuz he spilled his dessert everywhere...way to go Jeff, way to go This is Jeff Johnson a.k.a. too many nicknames I don't feel like writing Come on Chris...you know you want Casey's pepper... Here's the real party Chicken Wings: "Oh No, no now" Fire Sauce: "Yes, another victim" Someone's stomach later: "Oh god, WHY!!!!" I'm the angry cook that's about to make firey @$$ exploding wings...ARRGGG FOOD!!!! WHo's first in line? CARL!!! Who's ready to party!!!!

I ain't done yet Part 3: More goodness This is X, he's been a bad coaster and been put on timeout and no one is allowed to ride him. Finally on Viper and why not make the last two ride and two most painful rides in the park But thanks to a restraint getting stuck open...it was only one train operation Next and last ride of the day...Viper! Why are these people smiling on this ride...IT HURTS!!!! Just kidding, it's not the oldest but sure as hell feels like it as you can tell from my wonderful face of "I'm in extreme pain!" This is Psyclone...the oldest ride in the park Good advice No comment except........ Couple things in this shot...notice the big blot of water on the lens thanks to Casey for splashing us with water> Notice Ninja in the background (you're excited). What you dont know is that we got yelled at for rocking the boat and splashing Jet Stream...Flashpasses are the shizzle But at least you can still drink a beverage on the ride Casey had trouble with keeping his feet in...when you have to sit sideways, you need leg room Gold rusher...keep your arms, legs, limbs, feet, and any other body part you may not want to lose inside at all times But yay...We rode Tatsu again. Great ride and an interesting fact from our sad and pathetic guy in the beginning...it has the worlds largest preztel loop on any coaster of it type! Someone was top of their class And we saw this line...yay. About 50min wait for Flashpass for Tatsu mainly because the ride ops need help...serious help So we decide to go back up to Tatsu and use our Flashpasses

Part 2: Fanboys and Fangirls welcome! And here we are waiting for Joe...cuz he loves his Schwarzkopfs so much Vertical Loop....AAHHHH!!!!! Through the trees makes it look so fast...but it's not. Banana Coaster is better and poor Joe had to settle with Revolution Revolution, it's an ACE thing or something or other So no Goliath Jr. credit...what about teh kiddie playhouse? Casey almost got in but after telling the employee that he was taller than her on his knees, she wasn't amused and kicked him out Little did she know, Kristie was about to get yelled at for sitting sideways Hey, at least Casey got this credit About that much So how much leg room does Casey have in the huge canyon blaster cars? Next up, Canyon Blaster...is that a ketchup bottle in the front seat? Looks like Goliath JR. conquered Casey...until next time "Don't piss off a 6'8" UCLA basketball player" Then some employee from the petting zoo came over and started laughing...she was a true Casey fangirl After the ride op said Casey could ride after he stood up, the ride op changed his mind Begging and pleading to ride the kiddie coaster Up the stairs on his knees and still over the height limit And now it's time for Casey to conquer Goliath Jr. Helix of doom, death, and occasional "black-outtage" Going up zeee lift hill This is Goliath, it's tall and fast and people black out So the Alvey's left us and we all headed to Goliath (after munching down on Turkey legs and sushi) Yep there it is...the look of someone in extreme pain (while Kristie is braiding her hair in the background) First drop of total death and doom and extreme pain ahead This is Derick...yep...he's still special Goofy face? Check. Signature move? Check. Doing Colossus? Check. Kristie and the vertical loopage Yay first drop signature shot! Going up zeee lift hill Next was SCREAM!!!!! AAHHHH!!!!!!! Weeeee.....through the trees and getting sprinkled on by mysterious water Goofy face? Check. Signature move? Check. Doing Ninja? Check. Next up was Ninja.....HiYA

Well, I decided to leave my video camera at home (he's been very bad lately) and steal my friends digital camera. This is my first photo trip report and I usually only carry a video camera so this picture taking thing was new to me. This is the awesome goodness that is SFMM with TPR peeps and a kick @$$ party afterwards. I'll let the photos speak for themselves, Enjoy! Part 1: Again, left side...totally weird No one has every seen or ever taken this picture of Viper...and I mean NO ONE! Well, Batman was stuck on the lift hill but John's not here....... interesting Wow look at the view. And note Casey putting his stuff down because Ryan is about to get tackled! So how many people can we fit in the elevator? Not enough.....it didn't turn into a freefall ride and some of use were sad Next we all headed to the Sky Tower to see Casey tackle Ryan at the highest point of the park WTF? The left side is running? I've never been on the left side before So we all heard that Superman was running so some of us ran up the hill to it...some walked and some had to be carried Weeeeeeeeee......... Goofy face? Check. Signature Move? Check. Doing Batman? Check This is Derick...he's special Next was Buttman...running very fast today Riddle me this...what minor just pounded the Riddler? Other than it totally crushing your balls, Riddler's is a graet ride and still my favorite in the park Kristie and I goin up zee lift hill Next was Riddler's Revenge...and again, one train wait Vertical Loop Goodness! Derick's happy now Then we all ran to Deja Vu. One train wait + Casey being able to ride = awesome After the awesome ride on Tatsu, some of us collect our Flashpasses from Elissa who was so nice to give up a ride on Tatsu and get those passes for us. Yay, Tatsu through the trees So we all run to Tatsu as the gates open and most of us got on the first couple of trains For those of you that don't know...this is Bugs and you have to wait till he gives a thumbs up before you can enter the park. Why? Cuz he's Bugs...duh This guy is sad and pathetic. Almost as bad as Barry but don't worry Barry Hom, you still hold the trophy on being totally sad and pathetic And what better thing to be welcomed to than $15 for parking. Want me to bend over now? Finally after two accidents, LA traffic, a ticket, I arrive at Six Flags I guess it's against the law to sing in your car during traffic in LA. Booooo ticket! One thing I do to make time go by, Car Karaoke Yay, everyone loves LA traffic! Especially when an accident closes three of four lanes...WooHoo! So this is where I'm headed from San Diego, or as Ron Burgundy calls it "Whales Va......" you know the rest

Count me in for the Spain/Italy trip. The B.O.T.B.C. will be represented well on that trip and if Tommy and James can't make that one, I will definitely buy a megaphone before the trip so we can yell at the people in the front again. ANd if Robb's mic doesn't work again, we'll just yell at him the entire time. Midwest is a no go for me since I've been to almost all those parks and want other peeps to enjoy them. Might meet up with ya'll somewhere just so I can see all of Casey's fangirls. Japan is a maybe, depends if work is nice to me and I can trust the place wont burn down if I'm gone for that long Jim "B.O.T.B.C. 4 EVA" Williams

Hands Down...Nemesis. If you have to blow up the cliff along side of the ride I think that counts as the best terrain coaster. Tatsu and Banana Coaster coming into a tie for second

You think Kristie's blood curldling screams are bad...sit next to Barron and also have Kristie sit behind you on a ride...then tell me you can't hear for a week cuz I'm still deaf, what?

Been there, done it and to tell you the truth it's not worth the time or money. I lived in AZ for a couple years and I'm kind of disappointed that they don't have any quality theme parks. If you can get a good deal on the rides...usually during the fall on a weekday...then go.

^ I can't believe they made you pay for a new beer. I mean if you spill your entire drink onto Tommy's computer don't you think they would have given you a discount?

Great pictures Eric! It's awesome to see so many different views from so many people about the parks. Nice pic of me and Dave doing what we do best, consuming drinks!

Well, to livein this topic back up... Remember when Barry crapped his pants! Still can't believe it

Great Trip Report Derek. Can't wait till the next trips so the B.O.T.B.C. can hang out again.

You rode it twice WITH ponchos!! A couple of us rode it once without ponchos and found a little dry spot on our butts so we rode it again to get fully drenched. That ride truly some major butt. And the best "WTF is this doing here on a water ride" room goes to the ice room on Valhalla!

My buddy and I are taking a trip out to that area the beginning of June and Holiday World is one of our stops. The Voyage looks freakin sweet and I just hope there won't be huge lines so we can ride it all day.
