^Yesterday, Tuesday the 8th.

Crosses fingers on making this on TPR front page. A long time ago, in a place extremely near by grew a fire, of which burn down the bumper cars. Games now shall be played where bumper cars once stood! Parking signs here are hilarious, the All Day going up to 6pm? Man were some people psst during the night. The new Birds-crapping-on-your-head ride! The new Black Hole across from AtmosFear! So after hitting all the Water Slides at Ocean Oasis Water Park, we hear something testing above! The Great Nor'Easter is back in operation! So while we wait to ride it, we decided to play some in-queue chess. Early morning SLC-smooth action. In front of the line and five minutes before opening, Dustin found a balloon and it happen to pop from the noise of the coaster, haha. Some of the new signage. Morey's is really treating this upgrade as a entire new ride. Still time to grab 8x rides on AtmosFear before riding GNE! Man I am really fond of these Freedom-Lestor Trains! And the log flume was amazing like always! NOO!! Don't go in the hole! You don't know whats in there! But now that the new-super smooth Great Nor'easter is open, we can enjoy the ride! Only thing I noticed today was the seats would be jammed up and down causing weird and unpleasant vibrations. (NOTE THATS WHAT SHE SAID) The more and more I look at this picture, the more captions that comes to my mind. Coaster porn. After a ton of rides and hours in the water park, it was time to begin our quest for food! After a twenty minute walk.. we made it. Food Count: Hot Dogs - 3x Burgers - 2x Chicken - 1 1/2x Salad - 1x Pizza Slices - 2x Drinks - 8x Got to love free food! And the after math of the ketchup. Back to the first pier of the day for more Great Nor'easter! This SLC is probably the most photogenic one I've seen. And you can get under it at any given spot! Man, these captions are setting me up for more That's what she saids. More taking control of the atmosphere. And even some Doo Whopper! Pink car leaves the station. HAY! IM ON A BIRD THATS GOING TO HIDE ME AND FEED ME TO ITS LITTLE CHICKSS!!! Log Flume was still fun for the entire day! And when the afternoon blue in the sky, the Nor'easter sticks out so great in pictures! ALL SLCS NEED THESE TRAINS. One last shoot of it. Anime-weeds as flowers shot. This is something unusual. The main entrance to Morey's! We are just that cool that we get our own banner. After missing out of Sea Serpent last time, I finally got to hit it today. It felt the exact same as last year, but those breaks always get me dizzy. Still the smoothest boomerang I've been on. They closed the line right after we got in due to staff going on break, so we had basically the trains to ourselves. Dustin and I in the front, Dad and sister in the back. So afterward, a huge thunderstorm hit the park and closed everything! About thirty minutes we sat in the car, and finally it cleared up, leaving a huge rainbow. Its hard to take pictures of a rainbow, haha. Don't worry Great White, we're coming! No comment Here we are! Sorry train, no love for you today. Here is where my pictures begin to suck as night-time comes in. Great White was AMAZING after the rain! Ejector EVERYWHERE! And it was so smooth. Great White as seen from the even clownage maze. And we finish off with Bench: The Ride!

Yes, I couldn't believe last night that I was willing to debate that it was as smooth as a B&M... I thought at myself so strangely as if to say Vekoma... has a smooth and comfortable ride. And good chance you say me there; I was the fourth rider on it in front of the ribbon cutting, and taking ton of pictures for the event for my site. And Jay, the piers are close enough. They are about a good five-ten minute walk in between, but thats why god has given us the tram car!

I can say without a doubt that it is everything but hell now.

Let me just say, I had a surprise call to go to Morey's around 2pm and had nothing to do so we went. Was the strangest yet one of the funnest trips I've had at the park. The new Great Nor'easter is so SMOOTH! Rode it at least 10 times and felt perfectly fine... in the back row! I notice that Red train is smoother then Blue train. At night, the ride is even better. I also rode... the Sky Swaflipper or something similar to that name. I don't know what I was thinking, but it was surprisingly fun as anything and the view was unbelievable. Though I will say before the ride I was so freaken scared, haha. Now to the pictures. NOTE: All pictures are actually stills from my video camera cause my regular digital has something in the second screen and had to send it in to get it clean. Your car ride entertainment! What fire? There was never anything here. We are currently building more fun for you, not less! ZOMBIEEES!!!! Yum, the new smooth trains! The restraints feel like a B&M's flyers actually. Look ma, the old queue-linerabob is gone! Step one: Unzipper Mmmm, finally can ride without my head feeling like a brick hit it! No love for red train when we got there. AtmosFEAR! Best drop tower with narration... to bad it's narration was turned off today! That's what she said. Hey Dark Knight! Grr -- I'm Dante from Dante's Dungeon, give me a cookie. REMEMBER THOSE SIX FLAGS? Ian said, "That's what she said!" The view of a butt of a car. Wooooooooooo. And backwards! Look ma! We are ridin'ss a'h ride! On the tram car. COMING SOON?! Oh wait.. Yay for Morey's operate it yourself rides. Sadly, a ride I never got to ride today, but I'll just ride it next week. A sea of people. I Spy Waldo. FOOD TIME! Ton of ACER-people around.. Ian wants his kool-aid! YES! Almost a hour in line for food, and we have made it! MMM, the oddest mix of food ever created, but yet so delicious. They are about to get owned. My jewish senses are tingling! To the next destination! Group shot! Group Shot #2 Kelsey! This kid looks like he is either high or eyeing down Kelsey Hey, we are at UNIVERSAL! Ah, they are stuck on the lift. LOL -- they should retheme this to the new Dark Knight movie! Yes, Great White is open! I had some AMAZING rides today on it, all in the back. What's the ticket for?! S&S SCREAMIN SWING! Group shot! They look so innocent. NOTT. Grr, I'm a Great White, I'm going to eat you! Look, no more sea of people! Yum, and 99 cents! Ah, AtmosFEAR at night is so freaken pretty. Their new rethemed Graviton. Hey Six Flags, Hey. Amazing. The LCD station is awesome too! And Finish off with a night shot of the train!

Dear god; hope the Trims are on.. Actually I really did not notice or see any trims during my entire day there. I don't know if it is just cause this was my ride on it on this year, or cause they were off?

^Everyone with me was there first time.

I'm just WAY to use to Moreys and Six Flags prices.

^Yeah this should had been one of my smaller trip reports cause of the size of the park. I got a little carried away with Photobucket.

I guess the only part I'm having trouble understanding is why you would ride it nine times if it sucks so much. I agree with Mechanic. Now, granted, it does seem like there wasn't a whole lot to do but if the ride was that bad it doesn't seem like it should take 8 more turns to figure that out. I thought I covered this, I was with a group with at least ten people (basically a lot of my sister's little troop thing cause it was Girl Scouts Day) and basically everytime they wanted to ride I went with them, as well as the fact I was at the park from 11am-7pm, and the park has only one coaster. http://rcdb.com/ir.htm?model=330

^When you are there for over ten hours, and it is the only ride you are going to go on, you are.

Well -- for my first time in over ten years I suppose I visited Clementon Park. It was for these Girl Scout event and my sister is in it so I got in for free with it. Lets just say this about the park, you can basically fit the park in Great Adventure's Parking Lot, and still have room to park. Out of all the rides, at least eight of them where closed. The park is over crowded and looked more like a Carnival then a amusement park. Hell Cat, or whatever it was called was the only ride I rode for the entire day there. I rode it nine times, but it was indeed one of the most PAINFUL roller coasters I've ever rode. I can't imagine what it would be like without the trimming, but it was up there with some of the worst rides in history. I also grew annoyed at them saying it was Steepest Drop on a Woodie in America.. Now to pictures. Greeted with some rides in the parking lot.... coming soon? Looks like fun but.. I'll soon learn my lesson.. The station is WAYYYYYYY up there, and a pain in the butt to climb up all those stairs. Grrrrrrr, I'm the Clemodog, get away from my coaster or I will bite you with my fiberglass! Closed #1 No lines... or wait the park hasn't opened yet! This is the only true nice area in the park. Just in case you forgot where we are. Closed #2 This park is CHEAP! Literally, like almost Knoebels cheap. Except for the fact that Knoebels is a amazing park. HEY SIX FLAGS! Dear god, time to ride Identity Crisis: The Ride The queue begins in a small tunnelish fenced in area. Red train would receive no love today First riders today, unfortunate for them Woo, 6 Flags! More flags, more fun. The only plus of this ride is I can say I've ridden a S&S Woodie.. A FLAT, open?! This area was nice. The new play area for Splash Water sticks out and unlike the rest of the park is clean and nice! TIME TO RIDE THE FERRY! WOOO. Nevermind, Closed #3 I hope the new management of the park makes the rest like this. Lazy River = closed #4. Arg, I'm the Koolaid Pirate. Give me yo' fried chicken. Where oh where is the Jackrabbit? No tube-lovin' today. NOTED! This one actually goes backwards.. Hey Roller Coaster Tycoon! This part of the park is little nice, but still dirty. This goes out to Tsunami.. J2... Puma.. Hell Cat.... Iron Cat the Ride! This picture looks like it could pull off a cheap imitation of Voyage... but it doesn't deliver at all. The most painful air time.. EVER! Swings were open. I could make this in RCT3! This place was CROWDED!! Closed #5 WTH is this, a fair? Log Flume was closed, pshhhhhhhh! Gabe is crying over the pain Noooo mommy, I don't want to ride the mean cat! He's single ladies, make sure to PM him about how much you want to ride HIS coaster! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Getting close to the thing. That doesn't seem safe. Ewewewew, get the windex out! At least the logo is nice. POV of if I was on the train! YAY, free soda. Maybe this day is getting better.. Josh texting his friends about why to drive away from this place. HAY DER RYDARS! "Ugh -- my head feels as if I was hit by a thousand of pointy bricks" Yo-yo-yo, this is the ride op rap. Even the life can be painful! 0 FLAGS! 6 FLAGS! More Flags, More fun! OWWWWWW, it broke'd muh nose! Super Josh commands you to back away! Well making a BBQ next to a wooden roller coaster, this will be safe! ACERS BACK OFF, it's mine. B) NASTYNASTYNASTY What you mean I will be pregnant at the end of the ride? NERD ALERTTTTTTTTTTT! The best part of the ride; the brakes. Our BBQ cook! She likes hot dogs. OUCHHHHHH! Brownies! The coaster looks so bad! And it hurts worst. Hi, I am a random elephant. Take me home and take care of me! PLEASE! Picnic Table partay! 90 degrees! There faces say it all. OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW. Woot random exhibits with nothing in them Yay for stripper Pizza! Yay for a good part of the park! The lake. Thats not all they have to apologize for. Lets line up for the Pizza that really delivers! Ouchhh. Tel me; how is this fun? Just spend a few bucks more of gas and go to Six Flags! Josh is skinnay! DRINKK MEHH! Closed #6 RIP JACKRABBIT Stray Cattle goes moo. That looks painful. Hangtime.. a little to much. This picture sums up my day. Oh, and a themed McDonalds to end the day? I'm American, so I am fat! End this day with a sundae on Sunday!

The white makes the news boxes pop out more, very nice touch. I always enjoyed this site's simplicity and not being all graphic"ed" out. Some sites need it, this doesn't. Great work guys.

^Unless they cut me out of most of the clips, I should be in the show, haha. I was interviewed with Dainan Rafferty too for the show, and on the RPOV you see me clear as day in the 2nd row. So hopefully, though you never know! I'll keep you guys updated, right now all I know is between July and August.

^But then the picture wouldn't had came out right.

Here Robb, I'll put this one up for you.

^Sadly this time, no Toro. I was only in the park for Ka..

They asked A LOT of questions. Name Location How many times you've been on Ka? Favorite coaster? Coaster count? Favorite part of Ka? Is Ka scaring? Also Ka in the background broke down during our interview!

El Toro - BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! Kingda Ka - Front Rolling Thunder - 2nd Row Medusa - Back Skull Mountain - Back Nitro - Back or Front, both good Batman - Back GASM - Front The rest truthfully doesn't matter which row you sit in. You will still have a enjoyable ride.

First off, I would like to thank Angel, Jenn, Travel Channel, and the entire Kingda Ka crew for the great day! Also as well Travel Channel! I was invited as well as Dainan with some many familiar faces to be filmed for the new Travel Channel show, "Exteme" which will premier as Extreme Thrill Rides featuring: Millennium Force, Beast, Kingda Ka, Fahrenheit, and more between late July and August! Today was great; though extremely early! I actually woke up earlier then I would on a school day... god sakes but it was great and fun! Rode Ka a TON of times, tried to force a rollback (didn't work out so well..), got to see the public come in from a different stand-point, and act like Homer Simpson on Ka! Anyways to the part you guys have been waiting for... the photos! Waking up at 5:30 isn't the best time to wake up to start summer.. We were greeted by Scream Machine when parking this morning! Hoorah Arrow! The mom showing off some support to the site! It's Dainan-Kya! Ah -- the reason why we are there, to ride Kingda Ka over and over for some people who travel around the globe! Or the free breakfast, but in retrospect it was all good Scream Machine just looks so good in the morning, doesn't it? Four trains! Hoorah! All ready starting off the summer good. The POV camera. I love the amount of duct-tape since after all, what would we do without duct-tape? I felt as if we should be at the Simpsons Ride Media Day, with all these free donuts and Dainan being the donut man! HEY ACE! One of the many nice people I met today! My dad and sister ready to ride in the early morning! Hey; only three more hours till the park opens to the public! No, not a soccer mom; a coaster mom! DUMBOOO, NOO!!! The great staff and crew who made this day amazing! He is about to get his 100th on eatting break-run fins! NERD PHOTO!!!!! Yes -- for the shoot they filled up only the last three rows to ATTEMPT to get the train to rollback on film! But it didn't work, and then a empty train that no one payed attention too DID rollback! You had no idea how puzzled everyone look! Dang Intamin and there non-rolling-backage. (That's for Dan!) Ohhh ohhh baby; now thats a train! I'm Kingda Ka, big whoop. Wanna fight about it? Oh yeah; riding Ka at 8am! Time for some Ka! Dan, me, Dad, and sister getting ready for our second lap on Ka! Moving the POV camera next to me. Eatting some Ka-donuts on Ka! They were great donuts -- Angel if you are reading this; what kind where they?! Dad and lil' sister showing some Ka lovin'. Anime Style! What is this, Theme Park Review?! Giving a thumbs up for such a great morning! Thanks again Six Flags and Travel Channel! It was a great day! NO JOSH!!! DON'T EAT THE OSTR! Camera crew is working there magic! The hosts were extremely friendly too. HEY JENN! I now pronounce ey' the Holy Ka-donut! Angel, seriously, these were goooooooood. ^_^ Angel and my mom chit-chatting! I can't tell if he is about to sneeze? Interview times! Oh wait; Ka has now opened to the public! That's what she said! More filmingage (Again -- DAN!) HEY COASTER-net! Interview time! Dainan and I being interviewed. Ohhhhhhh, spectators. Such a fun time. Once again. THANK YOU SIX FLAGS! It was great! Finish off the THEME PARK with some more Arrowness! (Sorry, Dan.) Discovery Bay was still closed. The box is talking to me? Oh, it's just Jesus and Buddy! I can do that. Hmm, I'm getting hungry. Yum -- this food is just as good as Best of the West! I got a handstamp to get back to the park and I see this? If you know what this is, please tell me! So far I am guessing it is either a form of Texas or Spongebob gone demented. NOTED! Representin! Discovery hasn't changed much since Opening Day. A sick view of the Wave Pool! I see Amanda! Again; thanks so much Six Flags & Travel Channel for the GREAT day! Was truly a fun time, got to meet a lot of people as well as see some very friendly faces! I got on Ka about... truthfully I didn't count, but more then five without even getting off! Hurricane Harbor was fun as well! http://gadvonline.com

^Heading West to Hershey after my BGE trip in July. Sadly due to gas prices, no way I'm heading any more west for Knoebels and Flying this year.. even my baby Phoenix.

^Knoebels' longest wait was fifteen minutes top for Phoenix, and it was also only running one train. That park was so dead, it was crazy. So not use to it with the parks I normally visit. Hershey on the other hand was a 45min-hour worth of waits. Though the woodies were only 1-2 train waits. Great Bear, Storm Runner on the other hand were like a hour worth of waits. Still not bad though.

Since most of you have never seen this, I went to Knoebels and Hershey last year. Had the time of my life; Knoebels even made it to my number one park and Phoenix was my 100th coaster. Well here is the report from that awesome time! Now I have 166 credits and a new camera, so the pictures aren't the exact quality like the rest of my trip reports, but still decent! Well enjoy. After a four and a half an hour drive, we made it to America's middle of no where park: Knoebels! Cheers for no metal dectors and security freaking out cause you got a camera! Cheapest park in the world, I love it! Woah, the main reason why we came to Knoebels. To see Flying Turns under construction still! Coming Soon: Josh the Ride .rowls:. Alright, this ride took my expectations and threw it, I mean it threw it out of the window. This baby was SO smooth, so much air time, such a great layout. Blew me away, actually making me come back to ride it five more times. It was almost my 100th credit and is third on my top ten. This is like god's own coaster. 0 Whats better, the no seat belts, that no staff checks the restraighnts, or the no airgates? Ugh, looks so awesome! Hey, heard of this ride called Whirlwind? Yeah.. thats gone! Train ethusiasts, here you go! Haha, the name does not even live up to how twisted this ride is. Alright, this ride might be one of the best looking coasters I've ever seen, and a tad bit rougher then Phoenix but it was still amazing. My fifth favorite woodie. I swear this ride has like ten different logos for the name. Such a beautiful coaster. Knoebels likes wood. We got wood. This is for all the lift chain ethusiasts. Thats me on the buttom left on Looper. Thats me, attemping to get back upright. We got stuck inverted, ah I loved it! Dude, I told you they got wood! I love parks in the middle of no where! Close up on train for you guys. Don't believe me about the air time on this bad girl, look at the girl in the third row. I just love the look of this coaster, I just don't know why. Truly one of the best rides I've ever ridden. Worth's the trip to the park itself. No bumper cars can come close to this! I hit a car so hard, that its metal frame came off! Unbelievable. Me knocking off the metal frame on the yellow bumper car. Thats me jumping all the way on the left. Finish off Knoebels one last time with the best woodie in Pennslyvania! Now to Hershey! Hour and a half later that night, we got to the Hershey Lodge! Its only 7:30pm too. Just some of the 14 Hershey products I had over the three days. So it was 8pm, and the park was still open and I had nothing to do, so I took the shuttle from the Hershey Lodge over to the park for the last hour! I got there at 9pm, exactly one hour till closing. Hershey goes so far out as to theme there trash cans! First ride of the night, RIGHT AFTER coming from Knoebels the same day. Grabbed back row with a ten minute wait. Sweet! A other area of a theme park themed after my backyard: Alantic City... Next morning, I came to the park 8:30 in the morning to try out Sweet Start! Sweet deal. Comet Hollow was open early so we grabbed walk ons on both Superdooperlooper and Comet. DUDE! Like, its a ghost town... me like. First morning test run. One of the best inverts in the world. Don't blaim Intamin, blaim Global Warming! This ride is still incrediable, but seems to have gotten a bit rougher since the last time I rode it two seasons ago. First public train out, front row. Very picture-istic coaster though I should add. Its like Alantic City! Except colorful... clean... and yeah. WILDCAT! The new trains have helped the ride out SO MUCH! Now I can actually say I enjoyed it. Its only rough now at the buttom of the first drop and the last turn. Moved up actually to my top ten woodies as number 8! Yo kid! Move your hand. My baby. I rode this thing 12 times total, six on both sides. 5 times front, one time back on both sides. Two train wait really for the whole day! Ride 1 of 6 on Thunder. Dude, this thing in person is just HUGE! Of course, my homeland follows me... <_< Its in the zoom. I still do not get the theme of the ride, but it still has a sweet name. GREAT BEAR! I spent the whole night trying to find all those stars to make a bear... didn't work out! Thats a big invert. Broken down. E-vac time! -Insert your own caption here- Happy 100 to a special someone... -_- I know im Jewish... don't have to be jealous. The kissing tower is actually stuck on top of the tower during this picture. It would be up there for about two hours. Eatting kisses. Hershey! Anyone know one of my cat's name is Hersey? Yup, and the other one is named Smores. I really love this picture. Yum. I really like this picture. Sweet deal. Haven't I said that all ready? Its the cookie that thinks, its a fruit. Sadly I realize I never filmed in this spot... :mellow: Such a beautiful park, and yes the Kissing Tower is still stuck in this picture! LIGHTNING RACER! My first ever credit.. yup it was my first ever coaster back in 2000. And finish off with me kissing the logo to my ride. Well thanks for checking out the pictures. The whole trip was fun! I got my third new favorite coaster, Wildcat moved up on my list, Knoebels became my favorite park, rode these kickass bumper cars, and my new favorite park food. Well thanks for reading!

Your night-time pictures are gorgeous.

Guys, the Zoom Phloom at Morey's Piers is the best in the world! Haha. I can't really think of a worst flume, though Saw Mill at GAdv hardly EVER gets me wet..
