Thanks Chuck! I've gone ahead and returned the favor.

Just saw that I've been passed for first place at KD by someone from ACE. I need to see if I can get some more money out of my friends now!

Hit my goal of $1,000 yesterday! Hoping I can get a little more out of my friends in the next 3 weeks.

Nice report so far, Adam. Can't wait to see the rest of your pictures. It's always fun reliving such an amazing trip. Congrats on graduating last week! Also, nice to see two iconic things. The sign for Cyclone and my fat head.

I've been going to a weight loss clinic for the last 2 weeks, and decided to tie my weight loss up until May 31st (when I leave for my East Coast Coaster Trip) in with a promotion for Coasting for Kids. I threw this out to my Facebook friends last night. I've raised about $930 so far, and think I can get to $1500 before I leave town on May 31st. If I hit 1500, I'm going to match $3 for each pound that I've lost by that time. Hoping it helps get some more donations! So far I'm down 15.5 lbs in 2 weeks. Hoping to get to around 45-50 by the time I leave.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply!

I wasn't sure where to put this, and I couldn't find anything related to this when I searched. Last year I was on the East Coast for work and ended up visiting Dorney. I bought a Platinum Pass there because I knew I'd be hitting up other Cedar Fair parks. Since I live in Iowa, I'll be hitting up WoF or ValleyFair before I'm doing an East Coast trip in June. Here's my question, if I do the instant online renewal through Dorney's website, would I be able to go to one of the other parks before I go to Dorney? The FAQ on Dorney's site makes it sounds like I'd be ok, but I'd hate to have an issue when I hit one of the other parks next month. I e-mailed Dorney, but haven't heard anything from them. Has anyone ever done anything like this? I just want to make sure it will be ok before I do it online. It would be great to be able to skip all of the processing during my first visit. Thanks in advance!

If I've learned one thing about you, it's that your favorite ride is the Reese's Extreme Cup Challenge.

I'd guess that it's Haunted Mansion at WDW. I couldn't even try to estimate how many times I've been on it.

Awesome! Thanks for the donations!

If that's a winner, feel free to donate it to someone else on Team TPR at Kings Dominion.

How's this? Sloth dressed as a pope

My March Madness promotion ended last night, pulling in another $210 for the 4 day weekend! A 15% match would've been $31.50, but I decided to just throw $100 in. It sounded like a better number. Keep it up, Team TPR!

Wow, that's awesome! What's the limit? I'm not too worried about a limit over a 4 day period. I'd be worried if it was more than 4 days, though!

I'm huge fan of the NCAA Basketball tournament, so I'm doing a March Madness program from now until Sunday night at midnight. All donations will receive a 15% match from me. I'm hoping to kick some of my Facebook friends in the butt with this!

LOL, Chuck. I was just coming here to announce that I was out of the running for 1st place on our team!

They just released a POV video on the SFFT Facebook page!

Finally got around to paying you back, Chuck. Thanks again.

^ Thanks! I just got the e-mail. That's such a cool idea that I'll be giving you one in return. I started to, but realized I didn't have my wallet on me. I'll take care of it at some point tonight.

I was planning on WoF or VF, but decided to do it at Kings Dominion instead. I've been wanting to do an east coast trip this spring, and decided to plan my trip around Coasting for Kids at KD! Should be a great time! https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/ThadBargman/KingsDominion2013

^Awesome!

Here's the tentative list: "Local" parks I visit: Worlds of Fun ValleyFair Adventureland (I live 20 minutes away, but haven't been there in about 7 years) Florida trip in April: Magic Kingdom - Orlando Epcot Hollywood Studios Animal Kingdom Busch Gardens Tampa Sea World Orlando Islands of Adventure Universal Studios Orlando East Coast favorites trip: Busch Gardens Williamsburg Kings Dominion Hershey Park Knoebels Dorney Great Adventure Six Flags America - Never been, might go if I have time TPR Texas/Midwest Trip: SFFT Sea World San Antonio SFOT Magic Springs SDC SFStl Wisconsin Dells SFGAm CP Post TPR trip: Kennywood Kings Island Holiday World Beech Bend WCB (not sure about this yet): SFMM Knott's Disneyland California Adventure Universal Hollywood

I wasn't able to do this last year, but I think that day will work for me this year! Now I just need to decide if I want to go to WoF or VF.

The date change might make this possible. I've been wanting to get back to LA for a couple of years, and September seems like a nice time to be out there. We'll see if it works out.

^ Apollo has very deep pockets. I'm assuming they're the financial backer, and they'll let SF run things.
