Great pictures and video! The quality was amazing! I cannot wait for your next report (wink wink)! P.S: What kind of camera do you use?

After looking back about 800 times, my final answer is 4 ducks! Great TR Big Mike!

Hey Big Mike! I have number two covered and I am sending my card in the morning!

Now onto our next photos: Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America! Thanks for looking!

Dear Title Fairy, Cane I have my custom title changed to "Griffin is Dreamy"? Thanks!

^^ We were even in the picture of him hiding it!

Big Mike, I have to thank you for that great day, and thank everyone else for making it great too! I hope to see you again soon! And yes, this was the first time meeting someone from TPR!

I wanted to make a topic to post random photos of parks that I've been to, so this is it! Six Flags St' Louis is up first! Thanks for looking!

Great Shots Jeremie! It's always cool to see photos from a foreign park! (BTW, thanks for the Lisebergbanan photos!)

^Well, April 5th this year, the park announced that they would be closed due to weather calling for snow. On April 4th, there was still snow in the parking lot!

It's even better when we fit five of us in the cup and have Cameron spin us! And yes, they could stand to cut down on the fog a little.

B&M's are NOT to be messed with! I think it started with me hiding in the leaf pile (it was nice and cozy!).

Shouldn't Cameron be holding you in his arms? You're going to be the one that will be wearing the kilt, poncho and boots if I remember correctly. Heck, I'm still waiting for the tube top and hot pants!

That was a great meet up and some great pictures... November 1st will be amazing! (we totally won on American Eagle, too!)

The Map Incident While we were wandering the park, I just so happened to have an SFSTL map. I began to stare at it, confused. A park employee approached the group and asked if I needed any help finding anything, to which I replied to her asking were "The Boss" was. She then looked at the map and found it, and explained that it was in the south end of the park. Then she got a little confused and asked if I had an old map. She had to take out a SFGAM map to compare the too! I had to explain that it was from another park and I didn't know that it wasn't from here. Next time I'll say, "Wait, we aren't' in St. Louis? How could I have messed that up? Well, I have about five hours of driving ahead of me..." A quick video that Jeremie took of the ordeal:

^ And Jeremie should post the video! (I might bring another map for the 1st)

^Yes, you were being scary. Very scary. We skipped Viper because it had about an hour wait. But was running great two weeks ago, so it shouldn't have changed much.

Today I made the trek to Great America to meet up with two awesome TPR members, Jo and Jeremie (and the squirrel, but we'll get to him later) "Have a GREAT day!" Orbit Orbit "...on a trip, in the grip, of the DEMON!!!" The Pit and the Pendulum Iron WERE-Wolf "OMG A SQUIRREL!!!"

It's always sad to see a park go, especially if you've been there before! Thanks for the shout-out Mike! Great Report! So THATS where the other side of tape was! I thought it only had one!

I think Sky Trek Tower is open, and Larry the Gorilla will be on Condor this year. STT is being repainted blue, which will look great!

This Sunday, anyone?
