PTR: Hector's 2008 adventures!
TheRapidsNerd replied to RCFreak's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Awesome update! Had no idea there was THAT much detail and beauty in the park. Enjoyed the random movie captions etc. Had a good laugh of the video too. Yeah, if I'm ever out in Cali, or you're back this way, we should hit a park. Comedy would insue. -
PTR - Thorpe park 7/8 May

Ben through the trees?! Now I've heard everything! Another good one. Enjoyed this one. Thanks for posting it. -
Cedar Point P:TR 5-23-08
TheRapidsNerd replied to CoasterExpert13's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Your pics are a very convincing arguement for going to CP. I may have to break down and go in the next couple years. Some good shots there. -

I'm enjoying these smaller park TRs of late. This is another good one. Some of the dark ride figures are pretty cool (severed head guy, creepy green guy in tower, pile o'bones lurching skeleton). Thanks for putting this up. -
Photo TR: Scott Does Beech Bend
TheRapidsNerd replied to Scaparri's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
True, however I enjoy them just as much, albeit in a little different way. Any time you guys would like to talk shop the door is open. Always up for hanging out with other coaster enthusiasts. No worries, eh? Back to point, you've got a good TR here and agreed that Kentucky Rumbler is a cool coaster. Beech Bend is definately on the do list, and this TR shows exactly why. -

Hey cool! You taught me about a new park tonight. Congrats on the first PTR. -
Knott's 5/24/08 - Pony Express
TheRapidsNerd replied to socalMAN123's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hey! Cool to see this one! Seems they're still working on the tunnel over Bigfoot Rapids. Gotta agree, that last shot is my favorite as well. You did good. -
First Donkeys, now Burlington Coat Factory
TheRapidsNerd replied to CHILLERLC1's topic in Random, Random, Random
Remember when it was "... & Guy T Koepp" for What's in a Brain? There's probably a good story behind this one, much like the others. -
Natatomic Fahrenheit Update
TheRapidsNerd replied to BigThunderMtn's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
On the bright side, it's a memorable day no matter how you look at it. Anywho, hope she still has a fun time despite Fahrenheit's cold feet. -

TheRapidsNerd replied to Scaparri's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
thrillerman1, thank you. This is a good tip, especially if I can work out a run to BB and SFKK. I also should've said hello while at Opry Mills not long ago. Yes, further good reasons to go back to Nashville and hit up BB. The place looks fun. -
no woodie at BGE..why?
TheRapidsNerd replied to cathyJ's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ahh, forgot about the nearby housing. Good point and I am now the wiser. So you can see Grif from the golf course. Let's see, sunny day, putting green, coaster in view...yeah, I could live with that. Ain't it great? Good taste my friend! -
no woodie at BGE..why?
TheRapidsNerd replied to cathyJ's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Could the hilly terrain and river at BGE be factors? Interesting point, that, until now, I'd never really thought of. You know, something like Kentucky Rumbler or Renegade would be cool there. Conversely, BGE has Apollo's Chariot, a B&M hyper, while BGA does not. Of course that could change in the next couple years. No woodie at BGE....(scratches head), now why didn't I notice that....(walks away mumbling into kitchen for some white raspberry tea). -

Cool report. If the gut would allow, Rumbler looks like soooo much fun. Enjoyed this. Oh really Tyler? NO coaster enthusiasts in Huntsville? Perhaps you should look again. -
Photo TR: Dominator Media day
TheRapidsNerd replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
You know, this is just a cool coaster and it's just fascinating that it's running again. A little wierd too, since I keep expecting to see the lake behind it. Just random thoughts running through my head at 2:30 am. Well done on the pics and coverage all. -
Photo TR: SFA & Kings Dominion
TheRapidsNerd replied to natatomic's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Those are some really pretty pictures. Well done! Thank you for White Water Canyon pic too. It's appreciated. Thank you Chuck! Been wondering why Shockwave's colors were changed. Man I miss SFA (formerly Wild World WAAAAY back when) an KD. Had good times at both places, even if it was many years ago. -
Six Flags Magic Mountain X2 Campout!
TheRapidsNerd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Now it can truly be said that X2 was intents. Looks like a good time and a fun campout. Glad you all had fun. -
Photo TR: KNOEBELS!!....with a side of WDW
TheRapidsNerd replied to BeemerBoy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Scott, another winner of a TR. Almost fell out of my chair laughing at this one. Great job man. -
This was an entertaining story. Had a good laugh. Also the story a post or two above about the kid who lost his mom, was pretty cute. The was a stunning Pocahontas at DL a couple years ago that left me staring. Luckily, I came back to earth, said hello, and was something of a gentleman. The kids who came up and diverted her attention didn't hurt either.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
TheRapidsNerd replied to raptorcrew2002's topic in Random, Random, Random
You know, I'll just go see the movie. It looks fun and has some interesting premises. Curiously, it reminds me of the stunt show and Marian yelling "Can't you take a hint?!" before punching a guy off a ladder. The whole Crystal Skull idea that this is based on, is an interesting read. Naturally, there's a lot of debate, but if you enjoy the supernatural or just a good legend, the subject is worth a look. So Tyler, are you hitting Rave or Hollywood 18 while in town? -
Hidden Mickeys
TheRapidsNerd replied to Teacups Make Me Sick's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Don't know if this garden is still around the Contemporary Resort, but note the shrubbery outline in the pic. This is from our family's 1992 vacation.
