Yes - remember not to give money to non existent park lot attendant. If someone tries to scam you and walks up to your car as you are getting out of it and asks for a parking fee, DON'T FALL FOR IT! I'll splash my free Diet Pepsi in their face Larry, don't you worry!

Wow....well, I know that was a copy, and it still helps, but I won't think I'll be needing to rush around as much. I think I'm going to take it VERY leisurely. Especially since I hear there weren't any crowds today. I'm heading to Raven first, which I'm most anticipating. Then Legend...then Voyage. I'll fit in all the other rides inbetween, then maybe go on over to the Water park. I figure I will since they have some kick ass slides. I doubt I'd be there 2-3 hours. I like to ride as many rides as possible, especially since it's a one day trip...and it closes at five thirty.

Yeah, I was considering tomorrow and Friday, but tomorrow kind of pushed the way in. Even though I KNOW you CAN'T get enough of Big Mike, I'm going to see him on Saturday! -Zach

Charging the D40 now, so you should expect a great report. The high is 83* and supposed to be nice and sunny! Just one thing, do you think they'd bother a 17 year old taking pictures of the water rides?

What? Haven't been on the amazing 420ft Giant Drop in Australia? ORRR the amazing Scooby's Spooky Coaster? Shameeee....

I think the blog said the water will be 74 degreese, haha. Oh well, tons of Pro Slide action I need. Not sure..the high is supposed to be 83, so most likely my obviously blue Fox shirt. That's pretty much my theme park shirt. Umm...yeah, I'll be there all day.

Awesome, thanks for the help. Also, when I typed in "TPR Holiday World" I think yours was the first to come up...I liked it a lot! -Zach

OH! I almost forgot! What's with their 'loose articles policy'...I've heard people complaining about that, and I'll have my camera bag, if not a backpack...will I be able to put it on the ride of most of the rides? And how about photography while in the waterpark? I checked the website and couldn't really find something on the rides and if they had bins. That was what I've been most worried about... -Zach

Hey TPR! (Yes, James..I'm finally going to Holiday World) I'm hitting up Holiday World for the first time tomorrow, May 20th. I'll be there alllllll day! I've heard nothing but great things about this park (Besides their Pepsi ) and I can't wait to go. I'm sure the lines will be short, I called ahead and there aren't any planned events like Math and Science day. What're the best places to eat? Best seats on the coasters? How wet do you get on the log flume/rapids ride? Anyone going to be there tomorrow? Expect a LOT of photos! Thanks for the help, TPR! -Zach

You been on Maverick? With that 95 degree drop and the second hill that gives amazing air? CP has good airtime without Magnum. Yeah, the first drop is great...but it was the 2nd Stengel dive that got me. Best element on a coaster, IMO. Blue Streak has the most airtime overall, though.

I've been slacking on checking up on your thread, Chuck! Great updates, I love seeing all this new stuff at BGE. I really hope I can make it down there soon. The place just looks incredible! -Zach

Wait...I'm so confused! I have no idea which park this coaster is at, nor do I know who it's run by! I know it's in Ohio because a LOT of people are complaining it's the best. (Which it probably is, because it's in Ohio and it's not at Kings Island) Unlike Diamondback's sign, where I know what the ride is AND which park I'm at! BUT! I don't know who owns it, so that's a HUGE flaw. See! Kings Island! Ah.

You can't really put a price tag on the "TPR Experience" and I haven't even been on a trip yet! I bet many others can agree with this. But seriously....5 parks all around a MASSIVE state with special perks, transportation, accomodation...and entertainment for that price? Deal.

My employee pass doesn't get me into the morning ERT...I don't think...but I'd love to meet up at 10! And I'd be more than happy to follow along to Coney, since I haven't been there in AGES. It will be a good time! -Zach

I rode in '07, too! Haha! I thought it wasn't as good as previous rides as well. I do love the location, and I can take a beating on a coaster...because I thought the ride was awesome! Long lift to the top, floater air over the first drop...and those airtime coat hangers on the way back weren't nice at all! But I loved them! I hope I get back this season....

I like what they're trying to do... ...but they did it wrong I don't like it.

I'm sure there's still more spots open on Texas...come join us!!! I can't wait for July. -Zach

Oh...I found you, Jared!!! Haha -Zach Backseat...kinda!

Last update. Thanks to Ted for meeting up and spending the night, I had a great time! Great event KI. A few flaws, but there's always time for a first. Please comment, and don't steal the photos! -Zach And the big lift. Through the track Lots of wooden track.. Very pretty.... Couldn't you see this as a post card? Wow, you're good at smiling for the camera! What'd we do to you, RCCA? It looks so nice... It does NOTHING! Don't listen to beavers. The rose bowl of rape and death is hiding back there... Yup, that's the train...wayyyy up there. Well, it is the tallest.... Wood, wood, wood...steel beams?! WTF?! I bet you're loving this, Andrew. **SLAM** First drop is a b*tch What is going on here?!?!? Everything is wrong here. SoB may cause you to: Shout randomly; grab your boobs; play air drums; or act like Michael Jackson.

Day 2 Got bored waiting for the SoB tour. I love it! It looks so cool. Look out for the water! Stuff under the cars. A bunch of yellow first hill supports Heading up that STEEP lift... Nerd shot I'm going to go dye my hair pee yellow.... I could care less. LSHoF sucks, BehEMOth is where it's at. Please, Laser Snake Horse on Fire...have mercy on us! BBBZZBZZZZZZZBZZZZ...LSHOF attacks Invertigo. VEKOMA BE GONE! (this isn't edited at all, it's the sun!) LSHOF is....ANGRY. Lasers charging up!!!! On over to Diamondback....more enthusiasts! How was your second Zen ride? Going down into the helix... Going down into that batwing...better hold on! Into the double corkscrew Mike mid loop! Heading into loop 2/2 Look out for that Arrow transition! And now I present....TPR's own Mike (Voyager) rides Vortex!

The watermark/copyright is there for a reason, so that people DON'T take their pictures without having credit. Taking that away breaks every rule the photographer set up by posting it in the first place. I support the thread, just not the rules... Diamondback on a blue, stary night.

So...someone else can steal a Diamondback picture from my thread, post it in here....and win with my picture? Also, if I have a watermark on my picture, and someone edits it out without permission, that's stealing and editing it to your own photo. That will cause a LOT of trouble. You're encouraging people to take other's pictures and edit them. That is messed up.

Part 2 Mike (Voyager) in the orange after his Midnight ride. More to come! How was your ride, Ted? It's pretty day or night Heading up out to the lift, reclining backkkk Splashdown area and Rivertown at night Me, Ted, Rach, and Alyssa Always a good display... Vortex is melting! Ohhh.... Interesting what a little blur can do with shutter speed.... Waiting for the Beast as the fireworks start up. Speeding down the first drop away into the darkness Approaching the top of the lift in the blue night sky. This picture sucks. Roaring around the helix... A shot of Diamondback at night from the Beast Beast Cake! And a free old souvineer drink.....but we already have unlimited drinks...wtf? Little Bill! Later he stopped in to the Beast Birthday Party and danced. The party sucked, though. It was like a junior high dance. But hey, it's their first event. Hm...interesting....if Nick goes away, KI can kiss their Golden Ticken reign goodbye! Pubs HQ, lol VIP lanyards. Really didn't need them....it was like a "look at me, I'm with RWW" All the guests were asking how much we paid or how we got them. The second airtime hill. About 190ft? Insane. Such a nice day. I think I said that already... In case you didn't know where Diamondback was.. I see coaster enthusiasts! (Or KI enthusiasts) Happy happy joy joy

Hey TPR, I attended Ride Warrior's Weekend at KI. It was this past Satuday and Sunday. It was KI's first coaster even, I believe. There were 10 accredited groups there, and it was a big crowd. It was a lot of fun. There was extra extra ERT on Diamondback, walkbacks, free drinks, free cake, and TPR memebers! The roll call for TPR was: Me, Ted (tgadams), Jared (Reon), Mike (Voyager), ...I didn't catch his name, I think it was something like...slither###..? If you see this thread, be sure to post, dude! He was wearing a TPR shirt. I think that's all I saw. I hope you enjoy the photos! -Zach Beautiful day....more to come! It goes fassstttt Feeling better? Need a tissue? Yup, best way is to lean out to the sides! I feel 10000 pounds heavier! Ozzy? I looove the last car! Better hold on tight! It's such a free feeling Ted and Diamondback Fangs Diamondback keeps me company Blowing a bubble? GRRAAAAA OMGGMGM!!!! I smell terror. Here's the porn. 74* Yummy first drop Wave to everyone in the midway! Two awesome airtime hills. Cannonball! MUGSYYYY! D: Prettyyy Un-barbed wire? Aww....cute! Ew. Umm....what's the orange rope/wire doing on Drop Zone? Hey, it's Mike! Oh, lulz. Hey, what's everyone all shocked and amazed about?! Weeee, yay Arrow! Curveyyyyy Switching to the Son...money. Oh, a quick look back to Beast track. Weeee helix Almost forgot Ted back at the Beast! Damnit, Alyssa! Stop sneaking up on me! Get ready for airtime! It's like holding brakes for a drop. Property of B&M?! .....well, we did sell our souls to be apart of those 30,000 cycles before opening. Diamondback.....wayyyy up there. Beast..down here. Hey Vortex! Lookin' good. Airtime hill #1 on the return. Beast is gas powered. This would be a GREAT prop for the Down Home Country show. Heading into the helix. They widened the radius of the helix, as they said in the info meeting. New credit, Jeff. No this isn't the porn. My mom tells me I'm a gangster. So peace, yo. Look out for that trim! The impression the Beast leaves me. I've been spotted! Nope. Aging well? I'm....INSIDE of the Beast! Hurry, run the enthusiasts over while they're taking pictures! First hill says peeka-boo Going into the second lift's drop A lottttt of people. And overview of that I was seeing. The first hill Very impressive structure from the ground. I didn't take any pictures until Beast walkback started up. Looks like the Beast went this-a way.

I'll be there all day tomorrow, and maybe Sunday. I'll be in my TPR shirt! -Zach
