I remember seeing the renderings back in the day, and the fact that they built one is enough to scare the s**t out of me.

Great TR! // Catrina and I are honored to finally be immortalized in a TPR TR!

I never caught it either, which leads me to believe that it hasn't been there long. Could it be a prop from the movie that just appeared there one day?

I think that bullets should cost $5000.

Snake River Falls would probably be best categorized as a "Shoot the Chute". White Water Landing isn't really a "Log Flume" either, I believe it was sold under the name "Hydro Flume". Other examples can be found at Magic Mountain and Hersheypark. In reality, Cedar Point hasn't had a log flume since they dismantled the Mill Race (One of the first) many years ago.

So long White Water Landing. A park without a flume, just isn't a park to me. // self confessed log flume lover

$1.99 seems reasonable

I like the whole idea of being able to take your TV shows with you, but are you gonna have to pay for them? Seems a little silly, when you can get them over the air for free. I will have to download the new iTunes when I get home.

Because America programs you to be scared. Haven't you seen Columbine ... geesh!

Please tell me that is a photoshop.

Quick and dirty:

How many trashcans can you find? How many?

I am sure you guys will get 3 more coasters before SFKK, SFStLois and SFDL get one. // all in good fun

I will steal a link to the picture, since mine was the same. Myrtle Beach Corkscrew - Early 80s

Just added the rest of the photos along with higher res versions of the ones above. Check them out here: http://www.coasterfanatics.com/files/ppp2005

Well, this weekend was the Annual "event to end all events" PPP. After working a half day on Friday, I made the trek to Knoebels for what was to become a very wet Phunfest. So ... here we go! Camp RRC was a very wetplace to camp for this years PPP. Big thank you to the Westlands for helping me keep my tent (Blue tarp) dry! Darrin (StormRunner04) gives a helping hand with Friday's dinner flipping burgers McDonalds style. It's Saturday morning and while everyone else is trying to figure out if Doritos are flammable, Sam decides to just enjoy them. Steve, Darrin and Sam warm up around the fire. Walking down to Knoebels, we could see the effect the rain was having around the park. Big kudos to them though, every ride that was scheduled to open did just that. Knoebels makes some pretty damn big pancakes! Camp RRC decided to pass on the whole "cooking breakfast" thing this year, so Todd joined us down at the International Food Court. Everyone was anxious to try out Knoebels newest ride. Before the end of the day, the Looper had claimed many casualties! Darrin, Steve, John and Craig (TokenYankee) pose for a pic on the Pioneer Train. Cold and wet, but not discouraged, the gang headed over to the flyers. Yay! 20 Years of airtime! Brent and Sam joined us for a Knoebels tradition. Cesari's Pizza just isn't the same when it comes to PPP. Please! Please! Cook Thoroughly! Craig poses for a picture while Steve prepares to eat his whole slice with one bite! Craig and John pose for a shot in line for Gasoline Alley. (Note the cool had gesture directly to the right of Robert Ulrich) Knoebels goes all out and transforms this attraction into a great "Drive-thru" spook house. It is Sunday morning and Coastin' Steve's dog is ready to tear down the tents. One last fire. The rain backed off Sunday morning and it made tearing down my test so much easier! Todd and Walt had this cool refuge vibe going with this huge piece of plastic over their tent. Draining the Birch Beer keg is an annual tradition. Back at the park, Darrin and I do another Knoebels tradition. Everyone takes turns taking pictures of people. The whole gang "You call that a snap" The Covered Bridge Festival manages to pull quite the crowd on Sunday. Making homemade apple cider The most twisted new fad ... the doggie pouch? John braves the spine-crushing laterals of the Roto-Jets The bare wood marks the chuck of wall taken out when Brent bumped my car off the ground and onto the curb. And I leave you with some shots of our first trip on the Sky Slide! Thanks for reading! Higher Res photos and pictures I didn't post

Stupid Camera isn't working, so I will have to pull off the images at home. And I got a bunch!

Big Bad Wolf! Next: Crunchy Peanut Butter or Smooth Peanut Butter?

10.9.2005 Phoenix - Knoebels

The Devo/Fascination costumes were the bomb. It was great to have met you even if it was for about 5 seconds. "Trench Coat" Willie! - Hilarious! // officially lectured by "Trench Coat" Willie

Discrimination!

Even with the rain, the weekend was great. Suprised that I didn't see you around. It wasn't like there were a ton of people there. Guess you should have came to the Breakfast Meet.

Sounds like a cramp. Sue Them!

I am not exactly sure how the Mack cars operate, but I do think they are very similar. I was told that the trains for Knoebels' "Flying Turns" ride would have a pivot point in the center of the car that would tilt up and down and also side to side.
