Haha, it's just one of those TPR things. When you type l.o.c.k.e.r.s it comes out lockers Just like if you type X.D it comes out XD

Also, here are some noteworthy things that do not relate with the photographs Great places to eat: Mythos: This one is in Islands of Adventure... This place is great... Try the Pad Thai! Epcot World showcase: So much, so little time... Come with an empty stomach for this one! I would recommend Italy or China... When we were in China we ate at the Nine Dragons Restaurant... Pretty good! Downtown Disney: Basically a giant food court. Great things to do: Cirque De Soliel: Pretty awesome! This is amazing! Like a giant 2 hour acid trip. This is a must do! Seuss Landing: I don't care how old you are, this place is cool! My favorite rides from the trip: -Montu -Manta -Rip Ride Rockit -Kraken ...This TR took three hours to put together so make it worth while and leave me some feedback!

Hey TPR.... It's been a while since I posted here, so you might not remember me. Here's a few of my other TRs to refresh your memory... Cedar Point: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=51522&p=774003#p774003 Six Flags Great Adventure: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=51542&p=774463#p774463 Busch Gardens Europe Behind The Scenes Coaster Tour: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=52072 This current TR however, is something different. Over my spring break I took a trip down to Florida, and crammed every park I could into seven days... I am only fourteen, and I am trying to improve my photography, so any tips would be much appreciated. Comments or questions can go in this thread of in my inbox. Necessary.... Our first day (Universal) was rained out at noon, so I only got a couple picture in IOA... More pics later in the TR The IOA theming is pretty intense... Oh. Dear. God.... I NEED AN ADULT!!! The Incredible Hulk is still awesome. One thing I did notice is that it seems to get noticeably rougher every time I ride it... The Incredible Cobra Roll... Seen here: Poseidon after a long night of drinking. Harry potter is going up fast! Leave it to IOA to make something THIS badass Next day was Busch Gardens Africa (Tampa). This has gotta be one of my favorite parks in florida. At the moment, we are in Egypt Sigh.... Only in America... And so, as the prophets for tell: The weird looking bird thing will balance a watermelon on his head while the dude with the tiny umbrella hat watches And then the Pharaoh presented milkshakes to the bird man. And all was well... SCARY BIRD MAN APPROVES OF TPR One of the things that makes montu great is it's high speed dash through small tunnels. Small spaces and near misses really help build the illusion of speed and danger on this coaster. Yes Seen here: A train full of feet. I absolutely LOVE these high speed rolls! ... This camel actually (no joke) stuck his head out and was nuzzling me... I swear, for I second I thought he was trying to bite my ear... These things are seriously all over the place. I don't even know what they are. All I know is they scare the hell out of me Crocodile or Alligator? YOU be the judge.. Flamingos SheiKra is next I don't care which one came first. I live in Virginia, and to me this will forever be "Red Griffon" I must say, I do like SheiKra's splashdown a bit better. I was walking when I took this shot. My whole group was tired of me taking pictures of everything and were getting impatient, so I didn't get too many good SheiKra pictures HA! ONE immelmann? Pffff.... HA! EIGHT across? Pffff... (I am TOTALLY not Griffon biased) Kumba REALLY caught me by surprise. I wasn't expecting to like this one at all, but I actually really did And around... Have I mentioned how obsessed I am with cobra rolls? Kumba is one of those coasters where the lift hill and the first loop make sweet sweet love. Indeed Necessary Wild peacock. This wasn't caged, it was just walking around the park free... Seaworld was day three... And let me just say, Manta is AWESOME I liked Manta better than ANY B&M flying machine I have ever been on. Ultimate Flight can suck it! This pretzel loop is literally breathtaking. The first drop is incredibly unnerving. The near misses are what make this coaster. It's hard not to flinch swooping through the bushes! Aah. You just have to ride it. Nothing like a nicely twisted B&M track. ... First drop .... Aah yes Kraken. One of my favorite floorless coasters... ... ... ... ... These last few tunnels are probably my favorite part Back to Universal... Rip Ride Rockit is a blast. Bit of advice: If you have the chance, go single rider. I've never seen standby under an hour One complaint is the constant breaks. It could really do a lot better if the ride wasn't interrupted every four seconds This vertical lift is most excellent And the drop isn't half bad either. Aah, yes, the non inversion inversion. Quite interesting.. Not half bad... Bravo Maurer-Söhne! ... Back to IOA Dueling Dragons is still pretty unique... I'm an ice fan myself. Fire is still awesome though... Damn... PELVIC THRUST! I really love this launch into a roll... Nice surprise for first time riders ... I TRIED to get a non-blurry version of this shot, but it just wasn't gonna happen with my crappy little Nikon Coolpix... Well, that's all for now. Hope you enjoyed! Give me some feedback!

Damn I don't think anyone has said Manhattan express yet! That's a surprise!

Okay, I officially hate this thread now. Revolution is one the greatest rides ever built. Sure, it sucks now. But it could be completely fixed for less money and effort than it would take to tear it down. /Yeah, I know. If I hate it, I should stay away. //Continue to talk about your least favorite coasters in this poorly concieved "taer it down!" thread. Don't hate the thread for one post

Yeah, as much as it is these people's fault that they got hurt, it just proves that the harnesses are easy to get out of, which is NOT a good sign. I think the dude who died got flung out around the helix. Ouch...

Why so much hate for Shockwave? I love that ride. It is so much more fun that B&M, and I love the airtime the backseat(coach) gives! Definitely would have to go with both Hurlers as they both gave about the same kind of nauseating headache when they were over. Here's some reasons why Shockwave should come down 1. It hurts 2. It was supposed to be sold, but no one wanted it 3. The harnesses are really unstable (or at least seem so) 4. The trains stop for like 4 minutes before pulling into the station 5. It kicks you in the nuts 6. It killed 2 people 7. ^Seriously! 8. No one rides it, the lines are almost never long

If you did that it would be a good idea to go into witness protection.

But you do have to take into consideration It's historical value as a coaster

What i had in mind is a scenario where you could give the park more space to build newer rides. there's always gonna be crappy rides that are just space hogs, that's a fact. We can't control what parks can and cannot do, so why not just think out loud. I thought it would be kind of a fun thread idea. And, it may be cruel, but some of the pain these coasters are causing to everyday people like you and me is more cruel than anything we could do to it. --- alex

best. post. ever.

I guess mean streak was better in the olden days

Ooooh, OP i feel very sorry for you. GASM is brutal. Mine was Loch Ness Monster at BGW

I am a cross between a laugher and a whooper

If you had the power to tear down one roller coaster, what would it be? Mine would probably have to be mean streak at cedar point. No airtime, rough, and just takes up space in a great park

I was 9. Five years ago. 'Twas the Big Bad Wolf

Texas giant needs some el toro touch up

Thanks for the support! I guess I am not really confident in my ability to take decent pictures... I just try to stride away from the stereotype of how the typical 14 year old is expected to act on an online forum... I think I also have a fear of sounding cocky so I deconstruct myself instead... My next trip report (unless something goes terribly wrong) will be an all park inclusive mega trip report to florida. I am going to florida over spring break and visiting pretty much every park down there. Those pics will be up hopefully later this year. Money is kind of tight right now, and I am saving up for several different things, none of them involving rollercoasters. But I will probably have more up here soon. Thanks for the feedback! ---Alex

Correct me if i am wrong, but is this park not currently under water?

Well this sucks What a shame It somehow went right from six flags over Georgia to six flags under water

Wow... One of the most detailed TRs I have seen on this website... Looks like you had a good time... Looking at a picture of Texas Giant made my spine hurt . The Bugs Bunny ride looks like it could use some love... I usually tend to be not that impressed with S&S rides that shoot you up... The drop down, the part that matters in a drop ride, is dwarfed in comparison... The rise slowly and freefall model is much more thrilling... Now if they could only make a perfect hybrid... That old shuttle looks interesting. Lots of neat dark rides and the like... Overall, great TR! ----Alex

Hahahaha, awesome... It seems like every time I see pictures from China I spend half the time saying "What the hell is that?"... Damn those Chinese bouncy rides of death!... Glad Kidtums seems to be having fun... ----Alex

^Three... One for her, two for both of her boobs. They seemed to enjoy it

The perfect formula Boobs+roller coaster=awesome

^ Six Flags America. But I warn you, it kinda... sucks.
