I'm adding more to the list: ...you have rcdb.com as your homepage. ...you have two or more season passes. ...you have at least one season pass for an out-of-state park. ...you've been on a TPR coaster trip. ...you come back from your Paris trip. People ask if you visited the Eiffel Tower, but you said that you went to Paris only to visit Disneyland Paris. -

...you call roller coasters "credits." ...you say "Only if your name is Jeff Johnson" if someone asks you if a certain pseudo-roller coaster is a credit. ...you can name the roller coasters used in TV commericals and magazine ads. -

...you visit Cedar Point and you never pick up a map. You guide yourself around the park by looking at the roller coasters. -

Parks that don't allow just anyone to enter...
BarryH replied to cathyJ's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, Jeff Johnson can always say he's delivering mail so he can obtain the kiddie credits. -
Well, now that I've watched all of them, I will give my thoughts. I will leave mine out, since it is mine and I can't be objective about it. Besides, it is the bestest of them all! Pam & Brian Kanal's Knoebel's PPP I enjoyed this video. It showed off Knoebel's and their various rides well. Still, it didn't seem to memorable, other than the shot with the biker/pirates. It seems like the video was edited by first-time video editors. It's not bad, but it's a start and could lead to better videos in the future. The only part I didn't like is the POV jump cut around 0:25. 6/10 Dave Thomas' UK Randomness Other than the commerical starring me (Falafel's voice made my man parts act funny), I liked the video. It did show up the TPR UK trip very well, but there seemed to be too many shots of Derek and Nicole. Not that there's anything bad about it. It could have shown more of the roller coasters that we rode on the UK trip. During the video I was thinking, "Speed...again?" I would have liked to see some of the Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Thrope Park coasters, among others. Stiil, it was pretty entertaining and fun to watch. 8/10 Darren Bailey's TPR Midwest Trip If you want to see how much fun a TPR trip can be, watch this video! After watching it, I was so excited and I wanted to sign up for a TPR trip right now! Unfortunately, I am already semi-signed up for one now. It did show a lot of coasters and fun antics. Chuck's humping made the video a little risque, but the best way to deal with it is to cover the kids' eyes when you come to Chuck's parts. I didn't like the zooming in and out during some of the shots. Sometimes I think the camera zoomed in too much that you couldn't really make out what was happening, like in the night shots of TTD. This video needs to be a TPR trip promo! 9/10 Kevin Aglione's Cedar Point I wasn't sure if I liked the slo-mo intro at first, but I eventually got to like it. The best shot in the slo-mo part was of Maverick. As for the rest of the video, it seemed like a generic coaster video. To be honest, I felt bored by the video and stopped watching it 30 seconds before it ended. I consider this one an average video. 5/10 So in this round, I rank them (excluding mine): 1.) Darren Bailey's TPR Midwest Trip 2.) Dave Thomas' UK Randomness 3.) Pam & Brian Kanal's Knoebel's PPP 4.) Kevin Aglione's Cedar Point

I will have to have a little talk with Mr. Thomas and his girlfriend Falafel. No really, I quite enjoyed the commerical, but I look so fat in the video! You didn't get my best angle! I wonder if the "Sad & Pathetic" calogne will be a hot seller at Macy's? Maybe we need to market the product... I've only watched one of them, but I will predict the bestest one will be the Alton Towers video. I just have a gut feeling.

Halloween Horror Nights: Reflections of Fear
BarryH replied to dj snow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I remember seeing a show like that around HHN 1998. I can't remember what it is called now, but it had some witch who was carrying around a crystal ball. There were plenty of half-naked musclar men in the show. The girls sitting in the row behind me kept on going "Ohhh, yeah!" at the men and commented on the big buldges in the middle of the men's pants. -
^I bet that he thinks he can go to Adventure Island in Tampa, FL and ride the Incredible Hulk Coaster.

^Speaking of Japan, someone saw my Mitsui Greenland video on the Video board. He said that he never knew a park was in Greenland (the country)! Gee, I thought that saying the video was from TPR's Japan trip, the Japanese people in the video, and some Japanese characters from various park signs would have indicated Mitsui Greenland was in Japan!

I love Tokyo DisneySea! It's like IOA on acid. I remember our first day at TDLR. I kept on running into Lou's Scooby gang at TOT. First it was in the late morning in the Fastpass line. Then after the heavy rains in the evening, I saw them in the TOT line! I thought I would bump into them at TOT during the rest of the trip, but alas, it didn't happen.

^^Repeat after me... It's only a new credit if your name is Jeff Johnson. But this makes me wonder...will the Flying Unicorn and Dueling Dragons go down after Rip, Ride, and Rockit opens next door at the Studios? I think it would make sense, as people can still get some good coaster thrills while two rides are down at IOA.

SeaWorld Orlando (SWO) Discussion Thread
BarryH replied to disneygurlz2s's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm thinking like Robb...it could be a Mummy with sea creatures. Then again, it could be a coaster. As you go up the lift hill, you see sea creatures around you and a voice from the speakers tell you about them.
