Yay pinball indeed! That's a great line-up of classic pins. It's been too long since I was last at IB..need to get back there. Thanks for this update!

^ I've never understood why KK didn't capitalize on the Derby as well!
-
I enjoyed seeing RMC so well spotlighted with Outlaw Run and Iron Rattler! RMC are definitely a force to be reckoned with. I can attest to their greatness on New Texas Giant which blew me away back in '11 thanks to the bash that Robb & Elissa threw.
It was also great to see Elissa having fun on the show. Thanks for all you and Robb have done to help me get to visit some amazing parks and rides over the years!!!

This update features some retro artwork and construction photos of Canada's Wonderland before it was ever opened!

Zipper is the best flat ride ever made. Enterprise a close second.
While I agree both Zipper and Enterprise are two of the best flats ever made, have you ever ridden the Togo Windstorm flat ride of death?

I love this update. The day I spent here at Liseberg with TPR in 2009 is absolutely my favorite park visit ever! Everything about this park completely and totally rules! Thanks for all the updates, Robb!

Camden Park in West Virginia is a fun smaller park with lots of classic rides. I wouldn't say it's an all day park, but you can easily be amused here for a few hours or a half day. At one time Camden had an Arrow shuttle loop coaster that was relocated from Kings Island, plus a rarely seen Chance Skydiver. The park's wooden coaster, Big Dipper, has a great pop of hairtime on the second drop, and those old NAD trains are way cool. I'm sure someone on TPR counts their Haunted House dark ride as a coaster credit!

crrrrunch!

Looking really amazing, Shane! Can't wait to see more and hopefully visit soon!

Love the OL keychain! Thanks for sharing.
-
Thanks for these updates from Asia! I'd love to get back over there soon.
-
^^ Ditto to add. Tivoli is astoundingly gorgeous. POAS is one of the best flats in the world! Had such a great time here on the TPR '09 trip. Looks like everyone is having an absolutely amazing time. Thanks for the update, Robb!

Interesting PTR, Tom. I knew absolutely nothing about these parks, so it was good to see from your photos regardless of the rain on your last day. Thanks for sharing (and your sacrifice out in the torrential downpours) and looking forward to seeing your next hopefully much drier adventure!
-
Chiapas looks really great! I had such a good time visiting Phantasialand in 2008. Where's my time machine? Can't wait to go back! Thanks for sharing your photos of this phantastic park!
-
I think the area of Power Park is by far the most northern I have ever been on the globe. I don't think the sun ever went completely down while TPR visited in 2009. I enjoyed this place immensely and the hotel on-site was nice too. Excellent park and PTR. Thank you for sharing. Did you partake in the go-karts? Absolutely can't wait to get back to Finland again.

Have a great great time in Scandi, Bill! Wish I was travelling along this time but perhaps next.

California's Great America is a park many thought was a goner just a few years ago, but it seems to be on the rebound now. I like that CGA still operates their cable car attraction, one of the few left in the US after so many were removed. The Paramount days...by the way I have a few extras of these so pm me if interested.

Here's the final update from Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Thanks to TPR member, Netdvn, for sending me this 2013 brochure!
I love the Verbolten theming!
-
Also, I know the coaster enthusiasts in all of us probably doesn't want to hear this but something similar to Fire Chaser Express would be a great addition to a park like Holiday World next season........
This is really what I imagine at HW next year too.
-
The butterfly railings are a nice touch. Looks classy. I look forward to visiting!
-
Awesome trip report Divv. I really enjoyed following along and seeing all of your pictures from your trip. I was reminded how much I miss seeing everyone and doing TPR adventures . Congrats on conquering your Disney park quest. Thanks for sharing!

And now a more modern look at BGW in the mid-2000's era...

2005...DarKastle!
This is probably my favorite dark ride outside of Disney!

This, along with the post above about a bigger park model with chaos style seats, that'd be awesome...Back to back duelling park model zippers.
Not quite sure how the lowering boom would work though.
I just imagine the boom stopping horizontally and lowering so the lower half of the carriages can unload/load. Then the other upper half moves and can do the same before the boom rises back up the tower and starts the ride cycle.
-
This looks great and thanks for sharing. Are the carriages capable of completely flipping/inverting?
-
The park looks brand new. Thanks for the great pictures. Much success wishes to KK!
