Great photos and update, Robb! The video made me super excited to ride this on the Behemoth/Ravine Flyer trip in August. I really can't wait. It looks awesome! -

Photo TR: Jahan's Awesome TPR-Midwest Trip Report!
grinch1313 replied to arrowfanman's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^Gary, one of my favorite photos of you from the trip was taken while in the bar. You are totally rocking out to Ezra. It cracks me up every time I see it. Indiana Beach was totally one of my favorite parks. The turkey hats (see avatar), all those messed up flat rides, and LoCoSuMo. My favorite group photo was all of us looking confused after that one. A great park that I had an absolute blast at. I would go back there in a heartbeat. Great TR, Jahan! It brought back so many great memories. -

Haha! Great ghetto fair trip report, Gary! I don't think I would have gotten on many of those rides. Some of them looked a little scary. Ok, more than a little scary... -
Gary's Midwest Trip Report
grinch1313 replied to gnewton34's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
OK, Gary, that was completely hilarious. I was dying laughing and now my family thinks I'm insane. Your captions are the best! Also, you gotta love bottoming out not one, but two boat rides. -

Hanno, your photos are amazing. I've saved quite a few of them. The breast photo is hilarious. Great photos! -
The videos are so hilarious, especially the mouse one! I made my family and friends watch the videos and we all laughed hysterically. Great memories of the mouse e-stop!

Great photos, Gary! The tilt-a-whirl was interesting to say the least. We would have missed the bus if we finished out that ride. -
Loving the TR, Terry. The statue credits were hilarious. Keep the photos coming. Reliving the trip through all the photos being posted is great. ^ I also have a new avatar as a result of the trip.

Photo TR: Knoebels and Dollywood
grinch1313 replied to grinch1313's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
You know, we were wondering why Hello Kitty was there too. Well, I was. Allie was just too excited to care. She'll probably back me up on this too. The showers and coffin are both on the walk to or from Timber Canyon. You pretty much can't miss them. And if it's really hot the mist in the shower feels really good. -

It's not really that far, but it's a lot longer than you would think. Definitely ride it though. It is really fun and has a great "oh my god, I'm going to fall out" feeling. Just be prepared to get pretty wet, especially if you ride in the back of the boat. -

On the way back from PA, my brother, his girlfriend, and I stopped over in TN for a few days. Only July 6th, me and my cousin, Allie, decided to go to Dollywood. It was horrible. Tragedy at Dollywood It's not a "show" it's a shower. I don't like this "show" This is how sad and pathetic we are. It was honestly fun though. Even bigger whore because this was her idea. Whore Allie and I decided to become credit whores on this trip. Allie went totally insane with glee when she got to meet her hero....Hello Kitty!! Very wet. My right shoe was totally drenched. And we got wet Then we hiked up the mountain to ride the Mountain Slidewinder. We then rode Deliverance: The Ride....oops I mean Blazing Fury. We then went back to TN Tornado. This unfortunately is the only picture I took. 90 degrees! We rode in the front seat, which I highly recommend. There was a surprising amount of airtime. Our next ride was Thunderhead. This part is kind of like Manhattan Express except not painful and actually fun. Train trestle with vertical drop and helix of pain, if you don't keep your head away from the restraints. Credit number 55 for me. The reason why we were there. Our new friend for the day, Q2Q, helped us get through the park by 1. The entrance to Dollywood complete with flutterby As am I.... Allie is very excited to be going to Dollywood!! -
On my family vacation this year, I got to go to Knoebels and Dollywood. We drove up to PA by way of TN. Part One: The day after my brother, his girlfriend, and I drove up to PA, the whole family went to Knoebels. Part Two coming soon.. The funniest and best Haunted Mansion ride. Only me and DJ rode. Sad. My favorite coaster, The Phoenix, and the awesome Log Flume Unfinished fun The fattest squirrel I've ever seen! And this... Allowing you to take such pictures as this.... The train goes right under the Twister Kasi rockin' the train ride So does DJ... I love the train ride! Can't you tell? The whole family loves the train ride. I know most of the people in this shot! My attempt at an artsy shot of the Giant Wheel! Walking over to the Twister Me rockin' Knoebels! Family enjoying Bench: The Ride! Me and Kasi are also ready to ride! First ride of the day, the Paratrooper! My brother, Brandon, and his girlfriend, Jessica are ready to ride. My cousin, Kasi, rockin' the Friday! My cousin, DJ, rockin' the Friday! Consequently, the park has flooded a few times. Most notably in 1972. Roaring Creek runs right through the middle of Knoebels and was the original draw to the area back in 1927.
