If you have photos of a non-kiddie ride that is not in TPR's Park Index, please submit that also. The list of what we need is not complete, only based on rides that appear on my personal park maps. High quality photos, please (not blurry, distorted or out of focus). -
It will only be your last ride of the day if you have motion sickness and are stupid enough to ride. If you get sick from spinning rides and you decide to ride a coaster that you fear will make you sick, then you deserve to have it be your last coaster of the day. Are you also going to come to the defense of people with vertigo that can't enjoys ride with height? Are you also against the animal exhibits that people with animal phobias can visit? How about the park serving food items that diabetics and those with food allergies can't enjoy? How about the people coulrophobia, kinemortophobia or sanguivoriphobia who could be traumatized during HalloScream?

Favorite Defunct Roller Coaster/Ride
larrygator replied to GrapesLie's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think I've mentioned Nights in White Satin previously in this thread, but Myrtle Beach Pavilion also had a another very good dark ride in their Haunted House. -
I have not watched an inning of MLB this season. Every year I have less interest in watching professional baseball

Elissa looks quite terrified in some of those pictures. -
La Ronde Discussion Thread
larrygator replied to Skyscraper's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well that would be interesting (and great for LaRonde). -
If you are visiting WTC1, do not waste your time going to the top of the Empire State building also. Other NYC things to visit: While there is a charge to take the ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, you can't also take the Staten Island Ferry through New York harbor and get views of the Statue of Liberty. It is suggested that you avoid leaving Manhattan between 4PM - 6PM as the ferry boats are crowded with commuters during Rush Hour. Greenacre Park High Line Fraunces Tavern Federal Reserve Bank Walk over the Brooklyn Bridge Bronx Zoo Walk around and explore Grand Central Station (just not during Rush Hour) Of course there are dozens of museums, some small one some are huge here is a link to some of the smaller ones that are free http://www.ny.com/museums/free.html are with suggested admission If you are going to visit multiple big museum and tourist attractions investigate the CityPass http://www.citypass.com/new-york If you have specific interests this website gives interesting itineraries http://www.nycgo.com/itineraries

That cycle is a lot tamer than the cycle they run at Wiener Prater -

Park Discussion Thread Directory
larrygator replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Let me re-phrase what Adam said. We don't create Park Discussion threads because someone wants a place to discuss the park. We create them in an organic manner. When enough news stories have been posted on TPR over the years (whether this be articles on new rides, ride removals, accidents at the park) a moderator will merge the threads together to create a thread. Over the years there have not a lot of people posting about changes to DelGrosso's to warrant a Discussion Thread
