Yesterday had some light crowds as well, longest line was superman at an hour and a half. Seemed like it had a lot of new employees learning the ropes yesterday.

Kara, That playground is amazing. And a life size candy land game, sounds like so much fun!

Looks like a great time on the Cruise Big Mike!

I love Mystic. It's a beautiful place. I remember taking a picture of Mystic Pizza and there was a car that just stopped so we wouldn't get the car in the picture. Such a lovely place. Thanks for sharing Big Mike!

^We can still give them a hard time about their coasters, just not their carousels, But what a fabulous story Kara! I love that the carousel is flat to the ground so everyone can use it.

^any time you want to come to PA, you can stay at my place and we can drive around the state, lol. Which parks in PA do you need Chad? I need like 5 more parks in PA.

^Thanks! I've got even more Knoebels pics from later in 2011 to pop up here as well. I love Knoebels.

^Of course. I wonder what he learned from Droopy and Puglee, did he many any mention of tips or anything? Though that may be releasing secrets

Random question, does this link work for anyone else? http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/daviddemarest/CaliforniasGreatAmerica I was checking out people on the first page here to see where they stood, so when I get paid, I can get another round of donations going, and I got an error when I clicked on their page.

^You were there, I can't ignore that. At the time we had a good time, I'm not going to not include something just because things happened.

Another great update Divv!

Can we say *wahoo* 2011 Coaster season! Last year was the coaster season that almost didn't happen. My health and I weren't getting along, and there was surgery, and recovery, and blah, blah, blah, but by July, I was ready to hit up Knoebels as a test run to going on the TPR NE trip. So here is Knoebels July 2011. Sign My travelling partner in crime, Laurie. The Phoenix from the Antique cars. Airtime Buffet! Chris taking a picture of me taking a picture of him. Got it? Ice Bat got to meet Droopy & Puglee! They probably made some super secret plans to take over the world. Group Shot! Mini Group shot, while people wanted to ride the Satellite. Of course Ice Bat had to get in on the action, how else can he figure out how humans work so he can take over the world? At this point, this is what Black Diamond looked like in July. Of course we know it opened in October. The I'm just sitting here learning how to collect dust, and mock all you coaster enthusiasts ride. On Ride Photo! Coney Island up next. PS- You know what to do if you want to see the rest of my 2011 adventures and beyond, donate to Coasting for Kids, link is in my banner. PPS- Also leave some love. I see page stats going up, and yet, I feel like I'm entertaining myself on here.

I need a telportation device to get to TN so I can go to Dollywood. It's beginning to look like more a 2013 or later trip here is going to be the case.

The ice cream palace looks beautiful! I'm now hungry for ice cream Thanks for sharing that Kara!

That looks like such a cute park. Thanks for sharing!

If I didn't start reading this thread this year, I wouldn't have all these new places to go, "oh I need to add to my bucket list" (ironically a lot of them this year, aren't even of parks, but it's the other random places you've been showing us, that make me want to go see the rest of the US. Birthday World seems like it's pretty cute for the younger crowd. The glow golf looks like it could be fun.

^totally awesome. Sometimes I wish I could have been alive to experience some of those insane coasters back then. But then I also realize they could be deadly, and don't want to risk it. But a time machine just to see them in action would be awesome.

It looks completely different to the night time TR's I've seen so far. But it still looks decent enough to keep people entertained, and moving through.

This is awesome Thanks for sharing! Love seeing the Old Coney Island post cards.

^Thanks Bobby.

Word. I hate being paid once a month too. It makes me crazy, lol. It's like I can only plan to do things in the middle of the months, because that's when I know most of the money will be available. I'll be donating to more people in the next couple weeks as well.

Kara, That train station, and stuff looks fantastic. Larry, Thanks again for the donation!

^ There are 24 hours in a day. Big Mike can post his update whenever he wants to within those 24 hours.

Yes for both days!

So my Forst Filesthread has been updated with Delgrosso's, Hershey Park, and Bonus look at the Bournemouth Pier. Knoebel's from July 2011 is up next, remember if you want to see my TPR NE trip pictures, and some reports from years past, as well as a TR from Great Adventure this weekend, donate!
