Nice job, Scott! Can't wait to see more!

I haven't been on here in a while. Can't believe I'm just now seeing this amazing report. Now I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for part two. Give us more!

I'm loving this thread already! We're thinking about heading up to Dollywood sometime next year.

Great pictures! Hope you guys are having a great time (which obviously you are)!

Great job, Scott! I'd need one of those ghoul-b-gone rings for myself though, I'm a big chicken when it comes to Halloween stuff.

Great pictures, Chuck! Love to see all the coverage of different parks' events.

Thank you! I'll let everyone know if I win! Just realized I never updated this! I didn't win. But Danny took home two awards: Best Set Design, and Best Director. So, yay Danny! I came to this thread to say that a friend gave me the Shrek the Musical soundtrack and I cannot get these songs out of my head. Me, Danny and the girls have all four been singing them for about two weeks straight. They are so infectious.

I hate that you missed it! It was great to meet you Saturday, though! Can't wait to see you guys again!

Nice photos so far! Can't wait to see the rest!

I'm glad I got to meet you, too! The girls were so happy to be there. They loved it! I hate that you guys didn't make it to dinner! But we will definitely have to run into each other again, not only for cake, but to ride some rides together! I wish we'd had more time to hang out but we spent most of our day in Bugs Bunny Land. Looking forward to seeing you again sometime!

Nice report! Glad you had a great time! It was an awesome day!

That is awesome news! We'll definitely be there!

Great to meet you, too! Hope to see you again sometime!

Nice report, Chuck! It was great to meet you! Hope to see you again!

Thank you! This comment definitely made me laugh. Seriously though, great pictures. The bash was a blast! Thanks! I was surprised that we weren't the only Alabama folks! You aren't too far away from us. It was great meeting you, too! There can never be too much awesomeness. Thank you! Yeah, Danny and I mainly just let the kids ride during the day and took advantage of ERT for ourselves. Worked out great for us. Hope to see you again! This comment definitely made me laugh. Seriously though, great pictures. The bash was a blast! Great trip report Brandy! This makes Kristin and I want to get little Bean on a trip as soon as he can crawl... Thanks! Hope to meet you guys at an event sometime! Thank you! And that would be awesome to get all the families together at a park! Thank you!

Nice report! It was great meeting you. I should have done my Mrs. Meers voice but I didn't think about it. And it probably would not have taken much convincing to get me to sing They Don't Know, but too late now! Hope to see you again soon!

Wish you could have too! Hopefully we'll get to meet at an event one day! Hopefully when your little ones are a little older we'll be able to get all the kids together at a park! The girls have talked about NOTHING else but the fun they had this weekend! They loved KT and can't wait to see her again! They asked me yesterday if she could come to our house to play. They can't quite grasp how far away she lives. Hopefully we'll get to meet up with you guys again soon!

Everyone deserves a break now and then! Don't worry, I'll be back to posting food again soon! I said it on facebook, and in my trip report, but I'll say it again: Big thanks to Robb and Elissa, and the Six Flags staff, for putting together such an amazing event! Hopefully I'll get to see everyone again at future events!

And more... The pictures taken with my phone are bigger than the rest. Sorry! After a much needed nap we headed back to the park for the add-on dinner. Nice view of Ninja walking to the pavilion. Playing games again at dinner. Brad (Six Flags guru; I really don't know his official title) answering our questions. Robb getting everything ready for TPR Quest. We didn't stay for TPR Quest because the girls wanted to ride a few more things before the park closed. They loved the bumper cars! I guess the girl behind us thought I was taking her picture so she smiled for me, but actually if you look reeeeallly close you can see Danny waving in the very back. We made to the carousel in time for the last ride of the night! The girls didn't want a horse. They opted for a carriage instead. "You have to hold the phone still..." Three times he tried to take my picture and end up with this. Canyon Blaster ERT for the kids? Then over to Superman for ERT. Ally was even scared to climb into the test seat out front. We finally convinced her that it wasn't a ride and wasn't going to do anything. You can barely see Cammy in there! Heading out of the park. It's so weird being here when it's empty. Panorama of the empty entrance promenade. The girls and the Tweety window. The front gate security guard offered to take a family picture. Thanks again for an incredible day!

More pictures... We met up with the Alveys after ERT for the kids to get some rides. Kristen rode this over and over to try to convince my girls it wasn't scary. Ally never did get on it! Cammy waving in a blur. Cammy and Kristen on the fiesta wheel. Frog hopper and Kristen is the only one with her hands up. Cammy's getting braver... Cammy finally puts her arms up as Kristen stretches like she's bored. Park President speaking to us at lunch. Behind the scenes tour! Lots of GASM pictures. We had a nice long walk around GASM. Nerds all stopping for... a train photo op! Train going up. Southern Star Amphitheater. More GASM. Trailers by Southern Star. Other side of Superman! Some kind of scenery. Stuff across the employee parking lot. Superman lift through the trees! There's a train through there! Green houses? I'm not really sure. Employee parking sign. Heading into the employee section. Signs in the employee area. More signs. Security booth? Oh no, there's a train heading right for us! At this point we dropped off the back stage tour and went to the hotel for a nap. The kids were so tired of walking they were almost in tears. See? As soon as they hit the bed they were out cold. More pictures to come...

First a huge thank you to Robb and Elissa and the folks at Six Flags for making this event possible! It really was an amazing day! I was so happy to finally meet everyone in person. Hopefully I'll get to see you all again! My girls were beyond excited to meet Kristen. They're still talking about everything we did on Saturday. Other than ERT, I really didn't ride much during the day, except a few rides with the kids. Mainly because Danny and I had to take turns riding and standing with the kids and that just took too long. But that's okay, I was mainly there for the people and the atmosphere and to make sure my kids had a great time (and they did). There will be lots of kid photos in this report. We spent most of our free time in Bugs Bunny Land. Anyway, on to the photos. Enjoy! View from our hotel room! Danny told the girls that the last few times we had been here Acrophobia was broken down. So then every time they saw it they called it "that tower that broke." Ally relaxing before dinner Friday night. Cammy not relaxing! Kristen showing the girls how to play a game while waiting for our table at Carrabbas. Good morning Goliath! An early, and chilly morning, but we were so excited! TPR members lining up bright and early! Freezing but still smiling! Smiling through his chattering teeth! Line to check in gets longer and longer... Such the gentleman, Big Mike let us borrow his jacket to warm up! Pointing to things through the gate! So ready to go in! Raptor Robb? Big Mike and Megan! Empty park is nice! Dare Devil Dive ERT. I was amazed at how quiet the ride is! Stage area beside DDD. I have no idea what I was saying. About to head straight up! Here we go... Post DDD smile! It was an awesome ride! Danny's turn! He looks very nervous before the lift! There they go! He loved it! Mine train. Waiting for Danny to ride Mind Bender.

Great coverage of an awesome event! Such a great time! Love seeing the different perspectives of the whole thing.

Wow, what a full day of events! So excited! Danny was reading through the schedule and kept saying, "We get to do that?" Today's my last workday this week. Can't wait for it to end!

Agreed. Those city shots are incredible! Same here! All the lights are just beautiful!

Wow, I'm honored me and my cake made #1 on your list! I have to make sure the cake is perfect now! Oh the pressure... Thanks, Big Mike! Can't wait to see you again and to meet Megan!
