I guess this one was too easy we have a winner

Pop quiz Which park was this picture taken at?

bummer about the spinebuster bit.. hopefully they get it fixed. It was running pretty good with those new restraints in 08 (i think) That's my secret nah just kidding.. there is (or was) a structure with stairs next to the ride.. you just need to walk all the way up to get this angle..

Thank you Yeah.. it was about time another Larry photo was posted

I have no idea what was inside that plane.. did not check it out..

During the 08 East Coast trip we stopped at Morey's Piers to check out the Great Nor'Easter. The new restraints (at that time) helped. I have no idea how the ride is at this time..

Day 2 Shijingshan Amusement Park To be honest i don't remember much of this day. Guess the pain was not that bad and we had a decent day The pictures bring back some memories but nothing painfull Al in all.. Got some pictures, did some filming.. managed to get stuck on a coaster and had a decent time so.. this could be the entrance.. yep, that looks like it and yes.. there is a coaster first stop of the day loop de loop that sound.. i'll never forget it.. owh coaster going up.. next up.. a bit of green station theming or?? it's still early morning shoo shoo ehm?? what's that dome doing here? horsies this station building looks familiar... but that ride (in Holland) was way better.. efficient use of space.. let's put a ride under the lifthill lots and lots of green owh my.. it's another one of those.. a normal Larry picture scream if you would like this ride to be over could this be a haunted house they have ?!?!?! UFO time so yeah.. worm coaster.. bugs, giant bugs and guess what.. another spinning coaster.. ehm.. did somebody poo-poo? not sure.. but somethings smelly yeah, i'm having a blast but wait.. there's another "big" coaster birds nest yup.. loop de loop time to check out more of this park.. wheel of color nicely themed area hands up so yeah... this was closed.. but it was a non spinning spinner or something like that.. i was told we should be happy it was closed (down for a while) and then this happened.. ok, time to walk on sharkie shark shark angry green.. ehm Valet parking that yellow thing again.. random flat ride hey, it's carzy mouse owh wait.. somethings missing.. never mind it's bigger than.. ehm.. yeah score, another credit nerd shot how's it going Big Mike? not sure what happened here.. so happy.. still so happy 4 pictures... so many possible captions.. 2 3 4 flat ride stuck ? me hungry.. me need tourists there were not many other people in the park bridge between the 2 sides of this park park map no clue there's that white thing again american adventure? park mascotte's welcome to china

ready for some more??

from my 08 visit to Canada's Wonderland I like what the sunset did to the color in this image

i believe the following video is the official plan for the refloat etc.. and yes.. a video after being submerged for so long could be interesting..

Looks like they are still working on that one ship.. wondering how much longer it's going to be there.. http://www.giglionews.it/2010022440919/webcam/isola-del-giglio/webcam-giglio-porto-panoramica.html

Day 1 of the trip was Culture Day. Well let's be honest.. when in China.. you should try to see a bit of the Great Wall and maybe some other cultural/historical important locations.. The wall was the wall, the square was.. ehm.. open and the Forbidden city.. it kept repeating, repeating and repeating.. But at least i can say i have been there, seen it and... .. we still have some pictures after driving for a while we got higher up in the mountains.. clifs and.. ehm.. what's that? torture work out setup? where are the guns?? owh wait.. it's the great wall.. sorry rocks, clifs and yes.. it looked pretty impressive 2 things are wrong in this image.. sleeves and shirt color i guess we made it yeah sliding car hardly any stairs but these things instead so yeah, we made it.. and we were not the only people up there.. darn you fog (smog or whatever it was). Owh yeah that bright green is part of the sliding car route down people people everywhere from pretty high up i can see why some folks compare big crowds to ant farms.. i guess this was the exercise route (aka lots and lots of stairs) and it kept going and going. I'm pretty sure that if you wanted to you could easily spent hours walking along the route.. back to town.. i believe this building was "important" this one looks impressive not so impressive... what's up with the picture on that building? yeah.. it's a square.. now where is that dude and that tank? time to check out the forbidden city.. square one square 2... closer.. and another square.. and the entire time i kept hearing 30 seconds to mars with From Yesterday in my mind.. don't ask.. i guess this was important as well?!?!?! wait?? another square ?!?!?! yeah.. made it to the next square/section owh wait... i'll just put away the camera and keep on walking.. Next day.. park fun

^ i believe i've read somewhere that it's going to be a 2x4 seating... Should be fun

One of my favorite coaster types out there is the mega-lite coaster. Only bummer is that there are only 4 of them (at this time).. anyway.. this was in Japan at Tobu Zoo. Kawasemi

Where to start? Japan and China have always been on my wish list for places to visit. So after doing the Japan trip last year it was no-brainer to join the TPR China trip this year. I cannot imagine a better (more fun) way to check out this country then with a group of friends, riding some coasters and having a blast. I assumed this trip would be an adventure and yes it was. But it was an awesome adventure. Happy to have been part of it. Another place in the world i can take of my bucket list Anyway, i guess you are not that interested in my story.. so here are some pictures from this trip. Let's start with day 0, a few parks in the Beijing area Hope you enjoy it. Index: Day 1: Beijing culture day Day 2: Shijingshan Amusement Park Day 2: Sun Park Day 3: Happy Valley Beijing Day 4: Victory Kingdom Day 4: Random parks Day 5: Floraland Day 5: Chengdu random parks Day 6: Happy Valley Chengdu welcome to the first stop on this tour i guess there should have been some water and fountains here as well? owh the memories i guess this is a coaster and that looks like another contraption more of this park in that direction here we go yeah.. who needs a seatbelt? this one is cute.. so this might spin?!?! time for a wheelie? rust (and other random stuff i don't want to get covered in) bucket wth? next stop.. no idea what this sign says but i guess this is a park map inflatable things wait? that looks like an slc... ehm... water play thingies ehm.. yeah... power stuff here's a reminder.. do not bring loose articles on a coaster.. as they might fly away... and what goes up.. must come.. down.. yeah.. screams are good i guess (it's a sign you are still alive) holding on for.. is it joy?? is it pain?? sometimes you wish sound would come with a picture.. just walking under the coaster.. looking for... Suspended Loop Coaster.. SLC.. aha.. hanging roller coaster.. the hanging sounds right.. big pendulum.. what's in a name hmm, so that;s where the park mascotte went who needs a high fence? riding position as we would see them a lot in the following weeks.. time to get outta here next stop.. look, it's a swinging thing that looks like a coaster wait what?? yeah.. guess not many folks are riding this.. it's a crazy mouse last park of the day it's a tower somewhere behind this.. there should be a coaster but first.. who parked the plane in this location? random theming yeah.. coaster track waterfall and green water.. very green look, there's another part of the coaster ehm.. and i'll leave you with this idea..
