Blackpool Pleasure Beach Gallery
Swoosh replied to Swoosh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Honestly I just didn't want to suck up the bandwidth, but if that is what you want me to do I can post a picture or two. It's not like I am trying to be spammy -- I was actually trying to be considerate. -

Yes he rode all of the rides there. He didn't mention any rough rides from the Wild Mouse, but then again you have to remember we have Timber Wolf at our homepark, so we're used to rough rides. I really like that photo too of PMBO, Infusion and BD in it. I thought that was pretty sweet -
I have posted the first of a couple of galleries of European parks my brother has visited while studying abroad in Wales this semester. Check out the photos of Blackpool Pleasure Beach at MiG. Sounded like he had a pretty good time, looks like a fun (yet cramped) park. Couple of previews posted below, for the rest of the photos click here: http://www.midwestinfoguide.com/gallery/parks/bpb/

Oh come on. They are getting Flying Scooters so the park can't be all that bad. -
WOF Opening Day (04/07/07)
Swoosh replied to Swoosh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^Well if you don't why you didn't like the park, how do you expect us to help you with that problem? Almost sounds like you went in expecting to not like the park and proceeded to not have fun... which is silly. -
WOF Opening Day (04/07/07)
Swoosh replied to Swoosh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What did you find disappointing about the park? The fact that the rides were closed because it was raining? -
Makes you wonder if it was even worth opening the park up. Only 5 rides operated all day. Attendance was terrible, but considering how cold it was I was surprised how many even showed up. Stayed long enough to walk the loop and get our passes processed. Entire Update Here: http://www.midwestinfoguide.com/worlds/040907 Sample Photos Below: New paint! New "retro" logo on TWolf trains New Panda Express New tables New RIDE ON flags

^^Well fortunately for us that is only your opinion and unfortunately for you it doesn't matter -- the GP are eating this thing up. It is going to be another record year for the park. -

Great Wolf Lodge Kansas City:Photo TR
Swoosh replied to LOVE SFKK's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Few comments -- 1. GWL is in Village West, which is in KANSAS not MISSOURI. 2. SDC has been open since the first part of March, so this is NOT the funniest thing to do in MISSOURI right now until the 9th (BTW WoF opens on the 7th) 3. Where are the construction photos of Schlitterbahn, which is being built right across 435 from GWL? -
Carowinds Opening Day 2007 TR
Swoosh replied to rctlilman's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It will probably take some time to get everything switched over. However I am surprised that they didn't change the front marquee out on the main road yet. Don't complain about the soda machines too loudly or you'll get ones with Cedar Point's coasters on it and Carowinds logo slapped on it. -
Re-Organizaing TPR's Front Page

It is better than the old style, but way too busy for me. I think you need to stick to the KISS principle. -
The STINGER at Celebration City
Swoosh replied to Swoosh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
How is this anymore crappy then the fair versions of Chaos (since removed), Hi Miler (Jack Rabbit), Afterburner (Fireball), Flying Carpet (Orbitor), Tilt-a-whirl, and Scrambler, and a portable Log Flume. It's not like it won't fit in with the current rides they have considering almost all of them were/still are portable models. -

The STINGER at Celebration City
Swoosh replied to Swoosh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
In the park's defense, the ride has just recently arrived and they have not started to "Herschend" it yet. While I do agree it does look very "carny", how many parks do you know of have a ride like this? At least it will be something unique. -

Yes the barn is a duller red then one might first think. It blends in really well and I can hardly wait for media day. -
Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread
Swoosh replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes, the colors are final. Yes, the train robbery is occurring for right now in the same location. The reason I say right now is because there were a few orange paint marks at the clearing there just past "Pottersville, MO" which lead me to think that it might be moved back there. I see them expanding the park on out into the are where the current robbery is in the near future so they might as well do it now. You won't be able to hear the robbery over the screams from the Swing anyway. -
