What do YOU take with you to a park?
JimmyBo replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Before I had a kid I used to take.. Wallet, phone, video camera and regular camera in a case that went over my shoulder. I usually didn't take sunglasses into a park or a hat but I slather myself in sunscreen. Now that I have a kid…holy hell…we take freaking everything! Wallet, phone, stroller, diaper bag full and everything on earth to clean the little guy if worst case scenario happens that he craps out of his pants, video camera and regular camera in a case that goes over my shoulder, and food. My son has some serious food allergies so we have to bring our own food in. So far, it hasn't been difficult at the parks we went to because we call ahead and ask about allergen info at restaurants…and none of them had food he could eat. Having him being allergic to dairy and soy is pretty hard to find things to he can eat, so that's why we usually just bring our own stuff to parks. Jimmy "Always gotta have my video camera!" Bo -

Was that created from a coat hanger like all of Ron Toomer's amazing creations? Jimmy "Smork, Snork, Snork, Rainbow Brite forever" Bo -

JimmyBo replied to simon8899's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Awesome pictures! Even though carnies can be crazy and a little sketchy at times, the really know how to light of the fair grounds at night! Seriously, almost any fair grounds looks great at night with all the lights. Jimmy "Bright lights + Dorney's old Laser = AMAZING!" Bo -

I love Klotten and Klotti Coaster! This is the best "do-it-yourself" park I've ever been to. Malaria water, random sea-pigs, feeding deer and bears, and the Nautic Jet…sooooo amazing! Jimmy "Give me some Klotti!!!!!" Bo -
Holiday Season at the Disneyland Resort 2013
JimmyBo replied to ILoveRides's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Awesome pictures guys! When I was a kid and lived in So Cal, we visited Disneyland every year during the Holiday season. To me, that was always a special time to visit the park. I know it doesn't get much love but I really like New Orleans Square all decked out for the holidays. Amazing stuff! I haven't visited DCA yet during this time of year so hopefully one day I'll make it back there. Jimmy "Shorts in winter Spears?!?!?!" Bo -

I still think they should have named it "Dodongo" and themed it around the awesome Legend of Zelda boss. What the hell is a Dodongo you ask? Well, it's better than any stupid strawberry themed coaster train. Jimmy "Zelda nerd" Bo -
Lagoon Discussion Thread
JimmyBo replied to Twister II's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wicked has a vertical lift!?!?!?? I surely don't remember that….and don't call me Shirley! The name will be awesome if they show Cannibal the Musical in the queue. Interesting facts on the ride and I'm quite interested to see how it all turns out. Looks like Lagoon will be a weekend trip in the near future… Jimmy "When I say it's a happy-go-moinkaly lucky shpadoinklely…dayyyyyy" Bo (anyone get that reference?) -

^ Go in March! That's when I'll be there celebrating my birthday! This is a definite priority on my list when I'm there. I seriously think this might be the twisted, most insane indoor El Loco EVER! Jimmy "This will be my first El Loco Coco in March" Bo -

TPR Readers! NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!!!
JimmyBo replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I LOVED IT! I really like this idea. I do have to agree with some people in that some pictures went by too quick for me to read the captions. Maybe less captions length and add more witting TPR humor. This is a great idea. The only thing would be maybe add a little more video. I know you're using Vine most likely but maybe a little more Test Track! Great stuff though! Jimmy "Any TPR video is better than any SyFy movie" Bo -

JimmyBo replied to gisco's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I can't wait for this puppy to be completed. And I can't wait to ride it next year in March when I'm there getting sh*tfaced for my birthday! Nothing better than riding an El Loco after several beers, am I right? Jimmy "New credit next year!" Bo -
Photo TR: Culture and Credits in OK-TX-LA!
JimmyBo replied to milst1's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Great update! It's always fun to see parks that aren't shown very often on TPR. It's nice to see Wonderland has gotten some love since I visited in 2007. The new paint on the rides looks a lot better than rust when I was there. Bummer about the Cadillac graveyard being kind of a bust but aren't most of the tourist traps on Route 66 a bust anyway? Did you see any tornados or hear any tornado warnings? We heard a siren when we were in Amarillo and it was pretty crazy! Jimmy "That's a lot of parks in so little time" Bo -
Eurofighter for Adventure World, Perth
JimmyBo replied to australianalex's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thanks Awesome! Looks like Superman is going to have a run for it's money being the best coaster in Australia. I'm glad the Aussies that don't get out much get to experience a Euro-Fighter. Those coasters are insane and awesome! Jimmy "Dingo ate my baby!" Bo -
Photo TR - San Diego Zoo
JimmyBo replied to KBrylczyk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We went there the first weekend in August and had a blast. Last time I was there was probably 5 years ago and they added so much to the zoo. The Elephant area was amazing and a huge step up from what it was before. The Polar Bear Plunge was cool (literally) too because one of the trainers had the polar pouching at a ball she was holding on the opposite side of the glass. It makes you feel that if you were a seal...you'd be dead. Did you ride the Balboa park Model Train and/or the Merry-Go-Round just outside the zoo? The train has been there forever...something like since the 1940's. Jimmy "Born and raised in San Diego but for some odd reason I live in the desert" Bo -
Great stuff! I'm glad Universal expanded on the Simpsons area more than just the ride. The statures of the characters are great and I love the Barney statue in the bar. I'm sure there will be a lot of drunken pictures with Barney in Moe's Tavern. The Flaming Moe looked very interesting and I can't wait to test out how flaming it really is. Great stuff Universal! And I totally agree with the comment on the Treehouse of Horror Maze for Haunt! Jimmy "Mmmmmm....beer......" Bo

Disney D23 Expo 2013
JimmyBo replied to ILoveRides's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Truly an amazing report. I think one of my bucket list items would be to attend a D23 Expo one of these days. It really brings out the hidden Disney nerd in me. The Imagineering stuff was freaking AWESOME! I love all the details and hard work that goes into making things seem so real at Disney. Great report guys! Jimmy "D23 2015" Bo -
Photo TR: Opening day Karacho at Tripsdrill
JimmyBo replied to Hhappy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Amazing pics as always Hanno! I hope everyone gets a beer before they get to ride! They should sell beer in the station right before you ride to add to the theming. I'm sure they would make a pretty penny if they did that. The layout of this ride is amazing and Tripsdrill never fails when it comes to theming. Jimmy "Amazing Coaster!" Bo -
Photo TR: Chuck Finally Visits Cedar Point
JimmyBo replied to cfc's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Great stuff Chuck! And it's about damn time you finally finished this trip report! Japan is no excuse for you leaving us hanging on your first experience at the "Best Theme Park in the World" according to most readers. I had no idea there was a museum at Cedar Point! That is the main reason I am now going back there. Screw the coasters, I want to see the museum and the petting zoo! Jimmy "Great stuff Chuck" Bo -
TPR's Taiwan Trip - Mini Updates!
JimmyBo replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Awesome stuff so far guys! Looks like everyone is having fun and what a why to see Taiwan. I'm jealous you got to go on the 3rd tallest building in the world! When it was being built I was a total nerd and watched a lot of the construction. Really cool looking building. Almost as cool as the "closed for maintain" ride that you guys did you're magical wonders and had them run it for you. Awesome! Jimmy "Taiwan Space Mountain > anything at Cedar Point" Bo
