-Oblivion-Alton Towers -Eejanaika-Fuji-Q Highland (Had to think about this. Even though the experience might be Crap. I'd still like to get to Asia.) -Boulder Dash-Lake Compounce -Fahrenheit-Hershey -Beast,SonofaBeast- Kings Island -Volcano-Kings Dominion -Superman RoS: SFNE I'd really love to ride them all!!!

Well, For me A park I haven't been to would be Hershey and the ride, Fahrenheit. Plus I love Chocolate!! A park I have been to would be Cedar Point and the ride, Magnum. Plus I love CP!!

Thanks to Fuji-Qoo, all my dreams of riding Eejanaika are Ruined, the bubble has been popped, the idea out the window.. Seriously though, Eejanaika was on my list of Coasters I have to ride, but if it's just like X2 with X2 better and the park is that bad, I'll stay on the West Coast any Day!

Love It, Love It, Love It!!!! This TR put a huge smile on my face!!! Thank You I will now be saving for my flux capacitor. My Suzuki will be Amazing!!! It's OK Tyler ! GET to Blockbuster!!!!

Gran Torino ----5 Stars This is a Very Good Movie!! It's a must see!!

It really is too bad if they are taking it down! This is what it looked like this past summer in Aug.

Thanks Everyone!! I'm glad you guys are enjoying my trip report of my Crazy Summer!! Just in case you were wondering that picture that fry posted is me and my camera! Olympus Stylus 720 SW!! These would be my last days in New York and the last days of my summer trips! After SFGA!! Night View of the 27th Floor part 2! The next two days were all about experiencing New York. There were some spots I really wanted to hit up!! I love the architecture of the buildings and how a really old building can be right next to a brand new one! I Love New York!! Like this photo of the Champs store in Times Square!! This is the coolest Sun Ever!! I took this inside the Hard Rock Store!! From here I got on the subway and headed downtown to Lower Manhattan! One of the places I absolutely wanted to go to was the restaurant of the World Wide known Chef Anthony Bourdain from the Travel Channel's Show, No Reservations! This is one of four Brasserie French cuisine restaurants. View from my table! I had a three course meal and it was Amazing!! But the best part was dessert! OMG!! This is Strawberry Sponge Cake! Which was and has been the best dessert I have ever had! I wish I could remember the name of the sweet dessert wine there! Thank You Mr. Bourdain. Heavenly!! I just enjoy this picture!! Trinity Root by artist Steve Tobin. Stands in the Courtyard of Trinity Church. This sculptor was inspired by the remaining stump and root of the 70-year-old sycamore tree. The tree protected St. Paul's Chapel from debris during the collapse of the twin towers. Trinity Church! The Sphere, which stood in the fountain of the World Trade Center plaza now stands in Battery Park! The tip of Manhattan! Statue of Liberty!! Could be the Queen of all statue credits!! Ellis Island!! This is the main room where the immigrants would wait to be checked in. I had a good time at Ellis Island! View from the ferry heading back to Battery Park! The New York Stock Exchange!! It was night fall so I headed back to Columbus Circle! The next morning was another busy day of sights and Coney Island!! I took the D Train from Columbus Circle to Coney Island, Brooklyn NY. which is the last stop for that train, it took about an hour to get there. I saw this vending machine on the street! Anyone care for a hot dog!! Coney Island Beach! Oh there it is!! This was a very nostalgic moment for me! I couldn't believe I was seeing this for real!! Well.. The Cyclone was also my last coaster of the trip! I rode it three times back to back!! Astroland!! I'm so glad I had the chance to be there this summer!! Wonder Wheel!! After Coney Island I was back on the subway heading midtown! NBC Studios! Here I took a tour! It was cool! I got see the studio of the Conan O'Brian show! The infamous Radio City Music Hall!! I took this shot at the Museum Of Modern Art! Took the subway back to Times Square! This one's for you Elissa! I walked in and had some fries, In your honor!! I believe this is the largest McDonalds.

Back at the apartment! View from the27th floor Part 3!! Marcos and I having a Brooklyn Lager! My favorite!! This is my last photo. It might as well say Good bye New York! I found myself on a plane, going home! and I remember being real sad! It was difficult to grasp the idea of heading home. I had been on the road for so long. I saw many places and many things, those of which I had only wished and dreamed of! As Six Flags posted above, I rode the oldest operating Coaster, the tallest and fastest coasters. I rode the iconic Cyclone! The Amazing X2! The newest of 2008, Behemoth! I rode a coaster in a Thunderstorm and saw Niagara Falls from the top of a drop tower! Looking back now at all of this, I realize that something changed me! I came home with wider view and perspective of the world! It was Crazy! I am deeply humbled and grateful to have had these opportunities! And the best part about it all was making new friends and meeting all of you! Thanks for everything! I can't wait to see what the Summer of 09 holds for me and you! I'm so excited for the West Coast Trip! Much Love my Coaster Friends! Roxanne

Thanks Jayson!! Boston was a great time! Hey Chris, I know what you mean. I can't believe I did all this in one summer!! After Boston into Manhattan. I wandered around completely overwhelmed by everything New York is. I am grateful to have a friend, Marcos, that lives in New York. I called him up and said, "I'm going on a coaster tour and I'll be on the East Coast. Can I come over!!?" He Said, "Hell Yeah"! I Love New York!! This is my second visit! I knew that I would be near New Jersey. So it was a unanimous decision that I should meet up with the TPR East Coast Crew!! Thank You to everyone who made this possible! Marcos, Brad, Robb, Elissa and everyone on the East Coast Trip! Thanks for letting me hang with you !! It was a great!! Arrival into Manhattan from Boston!!

The next day was my tour of Boston. Boston had also been a destination that I wanted to visit. Thanks to expedia I booked a one day trip from Grand Central Station. It was very short, but very nice. We left the station at 7:00 am and arrived into Boston at about 10:30. Here are some of the highlights and best photos from that day. Samuel Adams, cousin to John Adams and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The building behind him is Faneuil Hall where town meetings were held. Old State House. The Boston Massacre took place right in front of this balcony in 1770. Faneuil Hall Marketplace. "Gateway to Boston"! Had me some Boston Clam Chowder!! So Good!! Had a Sam Adams Special Brew at the Hard Rock!! Original inspiration for Cheers TV Show. Sadly we didn't stop to go in, just drove by wishing we could. Harvard University!! I never thought I'd set foot on this campus!! It's the oldest University, founded in 1636!! Harvard Library!! View of the Charles River from the bus! Well that's all I can manage right now, my computer has been giving me problems all night! Next up: Some Sites of New York plus SF Great Adventure with TPR!!

Sesame Place! At one time I believe there were a total of three Sesame Place Parks. I remember my parents taking us to the Sesame Place in Dallas. Two out three parks is not bad at all!! Strangely enough I didn't take too many shots here, but this is what I have. Vapor Trail! TPR Peeps on Vapor Trail! Was it fun guys??!! Hey Guys! Here we are kicking it at the Elmo Show!! That little kid on the left is getting down!! Luke's documented Sesame Place Credit!! After Sesame Place, we parted ways. This is where some of us would say goodbye. I very badly wanted to go on the East Coast Trip but it wasn't possible. So instead of going home I decided to stay a few days in New York!!! I prepaid for my Amtrak ticket from Philadelphia to Manhattan. Everything had to be planned out. It was pretty insane, but completely worth it! 30th Street Station. Philadelphia Amtrak Train!! On my way to New York City! Life is Good!! Thanks for checking out my ongoing trip report!! Stay tuned everyone Boston, New York sites, SFGA and Coney Island are coming up....
