Hhappy

Chat seems to be loading/working fine for me at the moment...

short list: Japan (with TPR) RCCL cruise (my second cruise) April and may.. (due to the number of new rides opening in my area) And who knows what the future will hold.. There might be some more random things happening.

^ most likely there's still some fix needed (out there) i had the memory errors/blue screen/not responding at the same time.. all of this is gone at the moment.. (unless my internet connection dropped )

I've had some major issues with Win7 on my new pc.. random blue screens and stop responding moments. Been googling for a while and tried all kinds of tricks to make it more stable.. up the memory voltage, change some processor settings and othe things.. It did help a little but still.. 2 weeks ago i noticed a new firmware for the motherboard of my pc.. installed it.. set all bios settings to default.. No problems anymore.. The bios update did not mention fixing anything that sounded like something i was having issues with.. but still Moral of this story.. make sure everything is up-to-date on your machine

love this shot Keep it up, there are some amazing shots i've seen from a lof different people so far.

TPR trips. Do i need to add anything to that?

^^ temperature was just around freezing (celsius) so it was pretty nice. Thanks for the comments so far.

Yeah, i know it sounds a bit lame.. but Christmas just is not my time of the year. Maybe if i was dating someone or would have a kid.. it might be different.. but at the moment.. it's just one of those days.. I'll be happy when 2011 starts and all of this is behind me. Anyway, the last couple of weeks we've seen plenty of snow in the land of Dutch so i decided to check out the winter Efteling with real snow. Usually i don't care about this period at the Efteling, but yeah.. real snow and an excuse to stay away from the family.. what more do i need?? I walked around the park too many times today (my feet are killing me) and i hope you like the pictures. Enjoy and feel free to comment. early morning view bob and snow it was closed (but opened up later) hmm, snow looks like they had a nice snow storm like period.. hmm, GCI woodie and snow.. looks like it won't open... sigh yup.. plenty of white this does look different indeed boat ride walking around terrace area near Python station building monkey fun python, closed as well big tent near python inflatable play thingy snow slide looks pretty doesn't it back outside Joris Vliegende Hollander snow, lots and lots of snow yeah, both of them are closed.. so no chance of 2 trains in one image i think i like it woodie and snow.. awesome lifthill close up looking up just to give you an idea of the area little bit of airtime (without the snow) the dragon looks different.. yeah, the snow does not help twisty more snow looking across the water Python keeping an eye on things airtime time to check out some other stuff. Ship time at least here we can see some hairtime. Fun time throwing showballs at each other.. the old car ride ship entrance let's see.. boats swimming is dangerous.. yeah.. walking on ice as well this looks different snow winter theming looks like fun don't fall dude it was moving again (but the wait was too long for me) kids play area still had plenty of snow at least this ride was open time to check out the other big tent ice skating area (not that many people there yet) later during the day this place was way more crowded just chillin welcome to the winter efteling yeah, open fire.. just one guy keeping an eye on folks and warning when getting too close no flowers this time, but snow.. lots and lots of snow.. mine, mine, mine time to check out some fairytales somethings different here snow donkey lights yeah, snow just makes it more awesome i had never seen this building during previous visits the new tree thing water fun time for another quick look at this fun ride beautifull sky maybe next year something i missed as well during other visits..

As long as there is no snow on the track or it ain't freezing the woodies should be open.. But we've seen more snow over the last couple of days then we usually see during an entire winter.. Nobody knows how februari will be..

from the Efteling website: translation: Closed are: Python, Piraña en the Roeivijver Weather permitting are: Joris en de Draak, De Vliegende Hollander, Halve Maen, Bobbaan en D’Oude Tuffer. i'm assuming that weather permitting is about temperature and amount of rain.. Bobbaan does not like the wet, joris en de draak does not like the cold, Vliegende Hollander can not operate when the water is frozen over.. I guess Disney is a better option with way more things to do..

These are some awesome pictures so far, but i'm pretty sure there are more people out there with memorable images from 2010. Just think about all the "nasty" images from "The Ray's".. The more the better

Day 10: Mt. Olympus Let me think.. home to Hades (the one and only) and don't forget about Cyclops (one of my favorite rides out there) Waterpark with big wave and yeah.. i'll shut up at this time.. I don't remember riding anything that day... i guess i just enjoy taking pictures. Anyway.. here's a few images from that day. Early morning rides are always fun today was all about this dude.. the gate to the "underworld" forget the ride, it's all about the dude with the shirt. It even says: it's all about me this might take a little while how they managed to tangle up.. i'm still not sure.. back to the usual program, it's coaster time front row TpWake before... after... and even more after... out of the station let the credit whoring continue yeah, guess it's time to clean.. time for some cyclops images mama we're flying high hairtime payback time or just sitting at the wrong side?? priceless backrow it looks so innocent Spinning fun while the big kids were riding coasters.. yeah.. crowd.. aussie...

As the winter has started and the year is about to end i feel it's time for a short recap of 2010. The idea behind this topic would be to share some of your favorite pictures of 2010. These can be pictures taken by you or pictures you've seen on TPR. Feel free to share the stories behind these and why they are so special. Let's see how this goes, feel free to comment and post your suggestions/images. Below are some of my favorites from the first half of the year (might add some more later on) Let's start this trip through memory lane Olympia looping, One of the most awesome ERT session i was part of. The media day at Belantis for their ride Huracan. Efteling, it's a nice park and with the addition of the new GCI woodie (Joris en de Draak) it only got better. Fire thing at Bellewaerde Park. New place i got to visit with some old friends Fire dive dude at Fort Fun The promo ladies at belantis park.. something with Playboy if i remember correctly After 10 years i got to get back to Universal Studios Hollywood... Good times Fire good up close and personal with a ride during bay area bash Tony Hawk water challenge during bay Area Bash.. awesome times BlueFire at Europa Park, awesome ride and i was happy to be able to ride it again this year

Time flies, i wish i had taken some notes during this trip since my memorie is getting blurry.. aka it was hot and fun.. and that's about it.. (argh) Anyway, here's a bunch more pictures. Day 9 Six Flags Great America These are just some of the images from that day, for some reason these caught my eye when going through them. Hope you like them. here's the ticket, let's use it pretty first stop of the day happy riders keep those arms up another train time to check out the rest of the park fat at?? ehm.. this reminds me of another trip.. a couple of years ago.. i think it was a day in Germany?? happy random riders scream if you like it yeah.. they added some things in the rides area compared to my last visit.. just for the looks owh wifi time to check out the backstage area what's that? sorry, i did get a little distracted.. ehm.. you were saying?? nice sign random train shot looks like folks enjoyed the ride what's up ladies?? ok, time to continue walking owh.. lifthill and pretty lights aiming for that box going down.. ehm.. where's the party?? yeah.. this was a pretty big group lots and lots of rubber these reminded me of a movie... look.. there's a sign which reminded me of the same movie.. hmm so many things.. time to move on along the greemery aawww so cute looks like there's a few riders coming... a view from backstage trees lovely expressions that looks new to me compared to my previous visit bunch of nerds attempt at a group photo (with train) ok, more backstage just another picture drop fun getting ready for that first drop everybody... .. duck owh pretty ehm... the train is on the other side... that looks pretty high but wait, there's more random folks i just liked this one it looks so pretty (and impressive) last one...

More clues. And remember...there's a new rule! To get totally caught up with ALL the photos posted, click HERE!!! New Rule Ok, since I think most of you know now where we are...we are going to change things up a little bit! Here's how this is going to work... On this trip we are going to be visiting about 20 to 25 different "locations." I am not going to tell you which of these we are considered a "location" or not. That is for YOU to decide! For each location you get right. You'll get one point! You HAVE to show your work! Random guesses DO NOT COUNT! The more you show your work, the more "bonus" point that can be awarded! So it's going to be best if you tell us not only where you think we are but WHY you think we are there!!! Today Robb & Elissa visited at least 7 "locations"...maybe 8... maybe 9??? You tell TPR how many locations they visited!!! "A new Pizza Hut country credit for us! But which country? Hmm...." We are someplace new!!! Where could we be now? Not quite as interesting architecture as in Dubai. Where in the World is this credit at??? Hey! I worked on that game! Where in the world would you see a RED escalator? Yay! Elissa gets a new McDonalds country credit! Spongebob... After a heroin, cocaine, and herpes-infested prostitute bender! Where is this ride at? Oh good. I needed to see how much I had in my checking account. We have teleported ourselves to TPR's favourite park... Fuji-Q! Fuji-Q's ride-on Pandas sure do look pissed off! I guess I'd be pissed off too if I lived in Fuji-Q! Interesting reaction! But what does it mean??? We found an area with nicer buildings. We have entered "no laptop zone!" Looks cool, but no dark rides for us today! Snakes...why did it have to be snakes. What is you're just half baked? Elissa! Why are you so blue??? **NOT!!!** Elissa friendly!!! Yay! New country McDonalds credit! Crazy theming in this place! I'm just trying to fit in with the locals. Can someone tell me why there is a shower in here??? It's not blurry, this kiddie coaster actually goes 80MPH! On the road again...but were to now??? Now THAT is my kind of pirate ship! Wherever this place is...we are the only ones here! Hmmm.... I am sure I've seen this some place before... All the rides here were closed. ALL of them! They had lovely fountains here. "Don't fall in that hole!" The onride photos here are amazing! So THAT is what they look like under here. I have no words. Yay! We are at a Disney park! But which one? Hooray! We get to ride another Intamin! Where could we be??? Wow! What is this place??? Hey Santa! What's up? OMG! The Demolition Man prophecy is coming true! BOOGEY!!! BOOGEY!!! BOOGEY!!! Mmmm...yummy salsa! OMG!!! That looks amazing!!!

More Clues!! What place is this? This place is double cool! This is an interesting looking coaster. Where could it be? Where in the World is Robb & Elissa now??? Clue!!! Credit!!! But which one??? What is this??? Here's a really good clue as to where we are at now! I'm convinced that Spongebob translates into every language in the world! What is this? Clue!!! Clue!!! Hello!!! Clue!!!!

Even more Clues !!! This is a very popular destination. Millions of people go here every year. F.U. Can someone tell me what this says? What is the significance of this? "Take me home with you!"

More Clues !! Interesting geometry...but what does it mean? Interesting rock formations here. Yummy! Why is Elissa wearing a rain coat??? Something under construction here. Applebee's??? Why!?!?!???

Look, More Clues !!! Surprise clue! We are at Bonfante Gardens! Yay circus trees!!! This is my favourite building in Tokyo! We have a TPR guest star! First person to tell us who this is gets a bonus point! A hotel for a future TPR trip? What is that??? Where is this funky place? Rocks!
