Just finished watching all of the DisneySea videos. Amazing. Hopefully I'll get to watch the Disneyland ones tomorrow.

Awesome, awesome update. I've just emailed myself all the YT links to watch when I get home from work. I am definitely saving up for a TPR trip to Japan.

Ok, new goal in life. Go to Japan, and go to the Disney Parks. Amazing updates. I'm only a few pages in, because I got behind, but what I've looked at so far looks fantastic.

You and me both dear.

It's also on knoebels website too. The news stations up there seem to be reporting the same info from the Facebook page.

Issue 5 is awesome, lots of pictures and extra videos.

Congrats! That will be completely awesome. And then here's to a 1,000,000 more

Awesome pictures!

Fantastic start to the TR I look forward to seeing more. It seems like Australia is a pretty awesome place to visit.

Just added a review for Knoebels. Man that 500 character thing was harder than I thought I'll have to go through, and check my photos, I've got lots of Knoebels pics I could share.

^Awesome. RSC is coming to washington DC again. I'm going to go. They are doing the sports one. I can't wait, till tickets go on sale.

With firefox, it loaded slightly slower than the rest of TPR pages. But maybe 3-5 seconds slower. I'm on my mom's computer which is windows 7, with firefox 3.6.13 as my browser. I loaded it in IE 8.0 and there was maybe a second difference between the two, but if you weren't looking out for load speeds, one would say they loaded at the same time. The only difference I notice is that the text on the ad in IE is centered correctly, while in Firefox the text is down just a little bit off the white box. Loading park pages, clicking both the same park in IE and Firefox, they loaded at the same time.

Back to work time now. But I had fun.

Just saw the changes too. Looks great

Definitely considering this, just working out some logistics of it since it'll be 2 days after getting home from the NE trip.

It looks amazing. Thank you for the fantastic report. I'm now looking into booking a cruise next year.

Great pictures and report. This whole expansion looks absolutely amazing. I need to plan to get down there sometime.

^ There's more to come and I'm sure you'll be in those pictures too.

My eyes maybe scarred for life from the Lady Gaga video. and you're right, I've never met Piers but he could so totally own that class. That ice cream looks amazing.

I liked the smaller parks too. I'm glad, Laurie and I made the decision to go visit them. Someday I'll get back to them.

You didn't miss it. I started it this summer, then I got busy, and realized I never resized the pictures for a trip report. Then I noticed I never kept up with this. So I brought it back up from the dead and am trying to get all my stuff up from last year so it'll be good to go this year And yes, he sat on a plastic lawn chair.

August 13-14, 2010 Next up we have the trip that almost didn't happen. The weekend before this trip happened my grandmother passed away, and the funeral was the following week. I had all intentions of not going on this trip, when my parents insisted, I go get away, and to be with a friend. Was I an emotional wreck that weekend, yes. Am I kind of emotional now thinking about this trip and it's really the first time I've looked at the photos since then. But I had did have fun, driving around Altoona, and eating good food and riding rides. My parents were right, I needed this trip more than I had realized at the time. Ok, enough with the sappy crap, time for the pictures. First up this entry is Lakemont: Stayed at the Motel 6 in the area. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't fantastic either. It smelled like smoke for a smoke free room. Where we ate breakfast. Said breakfast. Quite tasty. Sign! Made it. The road the park is off of was under construction. Missed the entrance twice, almost ended up at the ball park parking lot, but I found the right one to turn into. Leap the Dips. Main reason, I wanted to check this place out. Prices for last season (2010). I rode the Skyliner enough to justify the wristband. Typical self portrait. You can see I'm not 100% into it. Mini Golf. Didn't play though. It looked cute. Skyliner. I actually liked this. It didn't feel that rough, when riding in the morning. It also felt like it wasn't going to make it around the whole track either. But the afternoon, it was a whole different ride. The rest of Skyliner. Skyliner track. I think they aren't sure what they are experiencing. Walked around the back of the ride and there was just enough gap to stick my camera in and get a nice shot of the stadium. Track on the antique cars. Took a picture of Laurie driving her car. Since I was sad that OCMD, and Trimpers removed theirs I had hope of riding the one at Lakemont. But... Nope. Closed for maintenance. *tear* Yes, I like these rides. It was my first coaster at 5 years old. And yes, I'm aware it beats your brains around bashes your back like no other. But it's still a version of my first coaster. New ride, maybe this year? Ride parts. Look we're dorks, we're holding our Leap the Dips tickets. Lift hill! The guy pulling the break thing. Yes, I know there's a technical name, I just don't know it. Random old train car? It was sitting there near the train ride. Though it looks like old coaster cars too. The randomly cute guys who were the train drivers, and probably way too many years too young for me. Skyliner from the train ride. View of some waterslides at the waterpark. It wasn't very busy over there, if it was open at all that day. Nerd shot of Leap the Dips. Last but not least at Lakemont, we have me attempting the kiddie playground equipment. As it stands, Equipment 1, Me 0.
