Club TPR Membership Card - VOTING!!!
robbalvey replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Agreed. And it's very probably that we may end up going back to some of the original designs for the final card. -
Club TPR Membership Card - VOTING!!!

^ It does...and we will continue to use it with some of our materials, but probably not something that will be seen by parks who have made comments on it in the past. -
Club TPR Membership Card - VOTING!!!
robbalvey replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I agree - what is kind of a shame is that over the years we have actually had many people (senior management at parks, actually) suggest that the reason why we have used the donkey was a subliminal nod to the democratic party! It has NOTHING TO DO with anything political! And it's because of this is why we've kind of gotten away from it over the past couple of years. That being said, it is probably likely we will do another T-Shirt with the donkey on it, but it's not something we would probably incorporate into our Club TPR logos. --Robb "It's kind of unfortunate..."

Club TPR Membership Card - VOTING!!!
robbalvey replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I do think that had we seen more revisions from you with our feedback it really could have stood out more. But as it is an actual photo won't work for the card (it just won't print well) and some of the elements were either too busy or just wouldn't quite work. But I did like the overall design and I *LOVE* the logo! --Robb -
Club TPR Membership Card - VOTING!!!
robbalvey replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I have to be honest that I am leaning towards jcrouse's final entry as well, but there are a couple of things I'd like to see. For example, a version of his card that has: - Something "theme park related" as of right now there isn't much that says "theme parks and roller coasters." - Perhaps a version of his card with jds' logo That's about it, really. My top three are Angry Gumball, n7, and jcrouse with jds as a runner up for his logo (wasn't a fan of his actual card.) And I'm kind of bummed that n7 hasn't responded to the thread in over a week. What happened? I think his card has a lot of potential. --Robb -

IT'S VOTING TIME!!! Vote for your "Top Three" Favorite designs! First off, I want to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone that submitted a design. And even if you do not win this contest, please, if you are interested in helping out with other designs for the website (Site layout, T-Shirt logos, DVD covers, etc) please drop me a PM or an email and let me know! We may have other fun opportunities for you to help out! WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!!! Lots of it! Now that all the cards are together and easy to look at all once, please let us know things like "I'd really like to see the logo from Card A with the layout of Card B", etc, etc... If there are elements you really like, let us know as it's very likely we will combine designs to create our final card. To give you all a little update for Club TPR - we have heard back from about 15 different parks in Europe and the USA who are interested in giving our club members park discounts. We also have been told that our club members will be invited to HoliWood Nights, CoasterMania, and able to take part in the Kings Island morning walkbacks. I expect to have final details and roll out the club registration in early March. If you did not specify "official entry" on your card entry, I went with the latest one you submitted. Please remember that the final winner will be decided by Robb & Elissa. Again, everyone please vote for your top three favorites and give us your feedback! Thank you! --Robb WillMontu vuurvogel The Toader supertrooper robinschroder rcrider n7 lightguy84 JMarcase Jds03 jcrouse J man Immelman ILoveRides hyyyper DKR CoasterLine Chroniq Calaway Park Angry_Gumball AlmereStars aljh22

Photo TR: Drayton Manor (Page 19)
robbalvey replied to Jerrykoala2112's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Two things I love seeing - lots of pics of Liseberg and photos of random unknown parks! Thanks for posting these! Also, I loved the pics of the GIANT Sulcata Tortoises! OMG those things are MASSIVE!!!! --Robb -
Walt Disney World Epcot Discussion Thread
robbalvey replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I also very much miss this area of the park. I really thought the entire pavillion was well done and all the attractions were great! Cranium Command will still be one of my favorite "Epcot Shows" and I think I'm most bummed out about losing that one. Body Wars was my favorite simulator (not sure why), but I liked it a lot more than Star Tours. And Making of Me was...well, funny for being very serious! --Robb -

What's the newest coaster book?
robbalvey replied to thrillgeek's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Seriously though, I really think one of these books hasn't been printed lately because as soon as the ink hits the paper, it's outdated and all the up-to-date information is online. It's really hard to compete with the Internet on something like a reference book that is already out of date as soon as it hits the store shelves. --Robb -

TPR's "Coaster Footage" DVDs Being Retired
robbalvey replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes, that is correct. The coaster footage disc takes me an additional 2-3 weeks to put together, and most of that footage is duplicated on "RAW" anyway. Most people say they seem to prefer RAW to the Footage discs, so why do double the work when that time could be better spent creating something new and different? --Robb -

We have posted sample segments from them on the store order form, but here are three of them so you can get an idea of what they are like.

And now Elissa's mom is looking just a little bit nervous! BOOBIE RAPE!!! Yeah, this is another sexy looking threesome! Big Mike wants a little Elissa alone time! Screw that!
