^ It was awesome! Check out our update and you'll see we loved it: http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=310&linkid=4742 --Robb

CLICK HERE! for the FULL UPDATE! ...And now! For the grand finale of "Where in the world are Robb & Elissa III!" We are now at our final destination...back home. I hope you all enjoyed following and playing along. As a nice reward to all of you, here is a brand spankin' new TPR video of the Mindbender at Galaxyland! [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=mindbender_15br_vny6[/coastertube] Mindbender Video including forwards and *BACKWARDS* POV! We have also posted our FULL UPDATE here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=310&linkid=4742 5 pages full of photos from Nick Universe, Galaxyland, and our freezing cold adventure! And now I want to award all the people who figured out where we were based on the photos and clues! X2coasterfreak was the first person to guess "Minneapolis St. Paul." here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=710997#710997 bdstrom was the first person to narrow down the first location based on the photos here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711017#711017 ParkTrips first mentioned Edmonton, but he's disqualified since he kind of knew a while ago that we would be doing this eventually. sillytrixx was the first person to give us details about multiple photos here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711278#711278 Wes was the first person to prove one of the photos by using another photo as reference: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711284#711284 Wes was also the first person to figure out Edmonton based on the clues here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711359#711359 But since Wes disqualified himself because he's a good sport and doesn't really NEED a bag-of-crap Chroniq was the first person besides Wes to put all the pieces together here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711495#711495 and here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711500#711500 and also to prove that Chroniq has no life at all, he also posted this: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711509#711509 and then to follow up Chroniq's lack of social life he proved to the world that he's also a stalker by calling us here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711591#711591 (Don't worry, we don't actually think you're a stalker!) And then finally BeemerBoy was the first to post that we'd be going home here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711604#711604 All of you will get BAGS OF CRAP so PM me your mailing address! And now, for the full update, click here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=310&linkid=4742 THANK YOU all for playing! Hopefully we will do this again soon! --Robb

Nothing

Or maybe I'm just jetlagged and still up getting caught up on things due to the time change?

Don't ever underestimate the willingness of a park owner to sell the park to a land developer if the price was right. Just because you and I love the parks and the coasters doesn't mean that Cedar Fair wouldn't jump at the chance for the park to be paved into a parking garage or a football stadium if it made sense to the bottom line. --Robb

^ I think the event is very good for someone coming in from out of town who wants to get on a few different coasters, meet up with a group who all have the same interests, and just hang out and have a great time! If you also make a "long weekend" out of it, (maybe go visit Knott's, Disneyland, etc) then it makes it even more worth it! --Robb

There are no refunds, sorry. Once you register and pay, we have to purchase your T-Shirt and your event admission and we do not get refunds either. You can send cash if you want to, but remember sending it can be risky just in case something happens.

Cedar Fair 2009 = Six Flags 2005/2006

Thanks.

Ok everyone. Here is the last clue for today as I won't be able to post again until tomorrow most likely. I hope you can figure this out! BTW, if someone can figure out that wings & Blazin photo I'll give you bonus points! --Robb Here is the last clue for today...

So I'm very impressed with some of you! So yes, the reveal on the first two destinations are: Stop #1 - Mall of America and Nick Universe Stop #2 - Edmonton Mall & Galaxyland Stop #3 - ????? Where are Robb & Elissa going next??? Below are some photos from our visit to Edmonton Mall & Galaxyland and some clues for where we are off to now! "Enjoy!" That is if our plane can actually make it here! Ok everyone...keep guessing...where are we heading next? Hi Lou! We will be seeing you soon! All there is to eat in our terminal is TOAST! Seriously...it even smells like TOAST! Hmm...we are going to need to purchase at least one of these currencies! "Please take the picture quick so we can go inside!" "It's ok, we'll make it...our vehicle is really an Autobot!" There is supposed to be an airport out there somewhere! Here we are on the motorway trying not to die! We are on our way to the next destination. You can see anything out the window because it's nothing but SNOW! The ride still has the original "accordion restraints" that Schwarzkopf put on the ride. I had heard the ride was very rough, even heard it called "Zonga II" but out of about 16 rides we had, I think we only hit our head once or twice. One thing to remember though, it avoid potential head bashing, make sure these restraints are down as far as they can go and you won't hit your head. Yeah, it may be tight on your shoulders, but that's MUCH better than getting a concussion! Seriously though, this Schwarzkopf really lived up to the hype! I had heard how intense it was, but I didn't believe it. Well, BELIEVE IT! OMG! This ride is totally crazy. And backwards...we're not even TALKING about the backwards part! Um, that gets REALLY close to the roof! "All public writings must be written in English and French!" Ohh, those crazy Canadians and their elephant poo! Ahh, I love Canadian McDonald's with their cute maple leaf! Robb is still here. "This photo will really throw them off...oh wait, the background looks too much like a store...hmm...." Joey had never seen snow before, so this was a culture shock for him. Oh, yeah, there are these loopy things. Three of them. And each of them are classic intense Schwarzkopf loops! Yes, this IS a backwards car you see and backwards Mindbender was seriously one of the most intense coaster moments of my life! We could only ride it once. It wasn't rough or anything, just very, VERY intense! And yes the picture is blurry because it's nearly IMPOSSILBLE to get onride photos since the coaster never lets up speed! The ride is just HUGE...it's insane...especially for being in a mall! Mindbender did NOT disappoint...OMFG! The ride was totally amazing... We were here to do a little bit of filming for the park. So those of you (I think only one...or was there more...) who guessed Galaxyland, you are right!

Yay! We just got a phone call! Now not only do people know where we are...but they are STALKING US!!!! CREEEEEPY!!! Hopefully that person will post his findings soon! Ok, now it's off to the airport to our next destination! --Robb

Hmmm.... If you are so sure of where we are at...CALL OUR HOTEL ROOM! Better do it quick because we are about to check out and head to our next destination! Here's our hotel room number....

Hi

^ It is true that up to 6 people can use one Q-Bot, but you have to pay the 6-person price. You'll see the 6-person price is much cheaper than if 6 people all bought thr 1-person price.

^ That is very, VERY interesting!

I received a phone call and email from Neal today and he wanted me to inform everyone of the discount for Extreme Passholders. What you were told today at the office was incorrect, and if you contact Neal he will make sure you receive your discount or a refund for the discount on your next visit. Here are the details: On another note, these prices are very comperable to other Six Flags parks. Note the prices at SFMM: And now the prices at Six Flags Great Adventure -

wrs28330 did a great SFMM update here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711403#711403 Here are a few of the Terminator photos from that update - The "signature shot" The turn around at the top of the lift is complete. Not much change here, as they still need room for equipment. Work on the entrance bridge continues. Yup The popsicle sticks slowly decrease in numbers. A few more shots from Cyclone Bay. Hello sexy blue wall! Say "hello" to your new brother! Time is ticking closer to West Coast Bash! I will see you there! Note - if you haven't registered for West Coast Bash yet, do it here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/store/index.php?categoryID=9

Oh...I hadn't noticed that was in the picture...oops!

I don't think that they would make it that obvious... Or maybe we would! "Enjoy" --Robb

Hey guys, We were doing some work on the store this weekend so you might have encountered it during our changes. For those of you who have paid for the iPod downloads manually I have marked your order as "paid" and you should be able to download then now. For those of you who have an outstanding order but haven't been able to pay via PayPal yet, please sent your payment to "store@themeparkreview.com" via paypal.com and I will mark your order as "paid." And if you haven't gotten RAW on your iPod yet...what are you waiting for?!?! Click here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/store/index.php?categoryID=10

Good photo spotting! I hadn't noticed this post before. Well done! We are now at the location of our last destination. So sad this trip is so short...or is it? How long are we going to be here for? Could it be a day? Could it be a week. Below are some more photos from Nick Universe, then a few new clues as to where we are now! I hope you are enjoying this contest! Well, wherever we are, they certainly knew about our visit! So TPR...where in the world are we? Maybe I should text Lou while I'm here. Oh! That's where! Ahh, wings...but from where? Oh, c'mon! That's TOO obvious! Why would I post something THAT obvious? Why would I? You guys have seen this clue as to where we are now...but below are a few more clues...and I'll be honest, this one ain't going to be easy! "You guys go on ahead...the two of us need some alone time." Tumbler spotting!!! "Hey guys! I'm here too!" Go ahead...touch the Intamin track...TOUCH IT!!! You know you want to! (and if you want to, send an email to Dan touching the Intamin track...you won't get anything for it, but he LOVES to get emails from you) mrt0ad13@aol.com "Yes, it's true...my seat is all wet!" Intamin never seems to dissapoint. We got the "other" Eurofighter credit in the US (and it was pretty darn cool too!) "Hey look behind me...there are 'swiss flags' all over that pineapple!" Yup, we made a stop at Mall of America's Nick Universe!

While Wes wasn't the first one to guess it, he was the first one to make a guess based on something in the photos and could back it up! Yes, our first stop was at Mall of America's Nick Universe. But where are we off to next? Any ideas? Maybe some of these clues will help you! This photo was taken just moments ago...two of my favorite candy bars! But where did I get them? Keep guessing! Once again, I will post this. Figure out what this means and you'll know where we are now! But now where are we? and why do people LOVE to stand RIGHT BEHIND Elissa while she's eating? (Do you remember that photo I'm refering to from my FaceBook? Have you checkd my FaceBook? Perhaps there are more clues there?) Where in the world are we? During our layover at MSP, we make a quick run to Nick Universe....to pick up the TWO credits we needed! Good eye, Wes! You figured out where we were based on the photos!

We are finally at our next location! Took us a little while to get here...not too long, though. Has anyone figure out our first location yet? There are a few photos than should be a dead giveaway, but I haven't seen many people pick apart the photos. Should we post more photos from where we've been, where we are, or both? Also, if you can figure out that "Swiss Flag" (LOL) photo...that's a DEAD giveaway of where we were, and if you can figure out where we were, then the "23" should help to figure out where we are now. Good luck everyone! --Robb "Posting from a MacBook." Alvey

You do not need to bring anything. Everything will be waiting for you on the morning of the event. --Robb
