Those guys are awesome. This may be one of the greatest aftershocks of the actual trip, being featured on ARN&R!

Looks good. Bring on the TPR trip when this is done!

I wonder if it was another Premier train wheel breaking off the ride like on Chiller. A few less people get to ride it now in the long run, I better sell my stocks of Tylenol, and buy more stock in Morphine for those in the hospital. I hope no one was seriously injured, no more so than a typical ride on that monstrosity.

The Indica was good for writing a PTR, but its time to savor. I think I want my birthday party to be held at Victory! The good stuff

That's cool. Its a small coaster, but it fits perfect with the park.

Mas fotografias! Awww, thanks. It was shore nice to get 2 more credits too, and lots of food! Where other parts are booming! Some parts of Ocean City's beach are really quiet and laid back "I've got my tub, lets hit the road!" And Johnson's Popcorn is the staple souvenir from every trip to Ocean City Grab some fudge for the road Credits achieved, it was back to food "I'm a bear and I want Robb and Joey to spin inside my tummy, har har!" They've even got a cuddle up For all you pirate ship enthusiasts And we can't forget about Dick! And have a monorail that circles the park They recently added a drop tower too And one more credit for Robb and Elissa (2 for Jeff Johnson!) ((4 if he rides it today, on his birthday!)) They've even got a permanent log flume And I don't think I've seen one of these since Knoebels got rid of theirs! An Elissa approved ride Lots of kiddie rides The ferris wheel can be seen from the Garden State Parkway Playland may have like 30 rides, but I prefer Gillian's assortment

And now, our feature presentation: Lots of dips and turns, and even a helix! And a tad different layout from the Joyride at PowerPark Really compact little thing, I wasn't expecting it to be located here Exclusive shot! (though most of these are probably since it just opened!) I approve Roomy with nice T-bars The trains are comfortable too, although a little coffin-y I guess they worked with Stengel and Intamin again on this project Surprisingly smooth, and fun Here's the newly constructed Runaway Train from L&T Cha-ching! Joe is probably crying now, knowing that this is where the City Jet used to reside OMG, its a Wacky Worm, another staple for a town called Ocean City Finally Wonderland was opened!

With a free weekend, I figured a good day trip was in order. Wasn't too fond of Knoebels with company picnics and a newly reopened pool, Dorney is meh, SFGAd is a big oh hell no, so when I discovered the new L&T coaster was finally opened down in Ocean City, I set my plans. Earlier this year you may recall I went down to OC, Maryland. While the places share the same name, I much prefer the Joisey one. Its not as redneck, the beach seems equally as nice (even if you do have to pay to get on it), and the traditional food is definitely worth the trip. So what if its a dry town!? Its actually Gillian's Waterpark. Never been in it Heehee, it looks like Gilligan's Island, but its not! Its kinda like Grotto's in Rehoboth, its just ok. Mack and Manco's is the most popular pizza in Ocean City SharkTums does NOT like this minigolf! I guess its what happens if you try to teach monkeys to make cinnamon buns, its a Jersey thing And Monkey Bread! WTF IS Monkey Bread?? But who cares about the coasters, lets get back to the food. Like Kohr Bros Ice Cream! They've also got a highly unthemed Flitzer I already got the credit, but I can still take a picture of the Vertical Loop for all my fans Oooh goodie, Pinfari looper, no Ocean City would be complete without one Like this kiddie coaster (yes, adults can ride) Castaway Cove is another little park in Ocean City, home to 3 coasters More minigolf! Good stuff, save some for later! While we're here, lets grab some Fralinger's Salt Water Taffy Ike's was a pretty good stop for lunch, though I preferred the lobstercake to the crab Guess I'll be calling off of work tomorrow! Here's my crabcake served with butterfly fries, fresh made The fruit iced tea was pretty tasty too Ike's was featured on the Food Network for its awesome crabcakes The red and blue monsters say "Hi Robb, please come eat us!" Oh yeah, and minigolf, which is probably why Elissa still doesn't have these credits, she's afraid she'll have to play a round with me Like many beach towns, you'll find a boardwalk with lots of t-shirt shops and pizza places The reason I came back is because there's 2 new credits for me at Gillian's! But they're not opened yet, so lets get food Welcome to Ocean City, New Jersey!

Nice drive home from the shore thru Philadelphia. Good thing I come home to great beer! Yeah, already feeling better! We'll start out with the Lost Coast's Indica

^^Awww crap. Folks, let's hope the message board and the Alvey's bandwidth can handle Dave's next photo TR! Looking forward to it

Well Lou was Dan's roommate (for the nights she was actually in her assigned room). What if she forgot he was there, or he came in while she was showering. Dan would probably have puffy eyes (and other stuff too!) Poor Dan, you know we love you!

OMG, that is the ONLY reason I came into this thread, to post that I can't stand that song. Everything from the beginning marching band crap to the spelling words cheerleader section, that song is the worst crap ever written. Keep writing crap like that, Gwen, and you ain't gonna be getting no hollabacks from the record company!

"Top of the World"- All American Rejects

Wow, Yarmouth sure brought out the pouty lips of Dan, didn't it!? Maybe the place was laced with sugar in the air instead of salt and it was his body's natural reaction to the foreign substance. I'd hate to imagine what he'd look like had he seen Lou (or any other girl) naked while on the trip!

As long as Tokyo can find a way to make the actual elavator "hallway" themed, it'll be lightyears better than DCAs. That whole thing just totally ruins the ride, IMO.

Probably Schiff, but it could also be a Molina & Sons, or even possibly Miler (believe it or not!). Though since its a trailer model, I'm voting for Schiff. Gosh, I'm a tool. I'm ashamed that I know my classic kiddie coaster creators.

I've put this off for too long. Its time for 90 minutes of pure enjoyment, DFH style. Time to put on my "O face" Yeah, this Imperial IPA is off da hook

I can't keep track of how many times I ride something, but so far this year I've ridden 88 new coasters, and have been going to at least 1 park every 7 days since March 18 (56 different park visits) and ridden at least 1 coaster each visit. Seeing how the season is only about half over, I may break 100 new coasters for this year, but don't think I can get 100 park visits in. Oh, and the closest park to me is about 45 minutes away, and I've only been there twice this year so far.

Time for another Wally inspired brew, that crazy Curve Ball he kept talking about! Check me out, I'm Okinawaboy11! Also my last one of these

You lured me in with promises of carp and I see none. I don't even see water! But I'm glad you finally got to your local park for the first time. Did the senorita you rode with pound it with you on the coaster?

Who knows, maybe the creators of ThemePark Insider are planning an upcoming trip to BGE (maybe they just want to get invited to media day for the dive machine next year) and they wanted to suck up. I bet if TPR had an awards ceremony every year, that'd get some major press. Balsamic Chicken at Mythos- voted best food in an amusement park McDonald's- voted best fast food chain anywhere Best of all, lots of us are extremely well traveled, and Robb and Elissa are very unbiased, so you wouldn't see SFMM getting Best New Ride for Tatsu or Hurricane Harbor getting best waterpark just because they live down the street from the park.

^No, you're wrong. The Beast is the best wooden roller coaster of all time.

The beaches are all reopened, though only the state beaches were closed. Why don't you just do all three areas at the same time? Clementon can be done in like 20 minutes, and its not too far away from the Atlantic City Expressway, which will take you back to the GSP to get to OCNJ.

Now Robb, when are you going to tell them to stop linking to your pictures and stealing your bandwidth or you'll have no other alternative but to ban them from all future TPR trips?

Yeah, the brewery may be a little odd, but the IPAs are pretty tasty. Speaking of breweries, hows Weiss Ass coming along, Wally? I had a dream last night that I found a bomber bottle of Weiss Ass Dortmunder Gold at a beer mart.
