Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
alilstronger replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I am excited for them to add to the water rides. I am huge water park enthusiast and I think their water park is pretty mediocre. Every time I go I do not spend much time there because its always so crowded - even during the week. But this is my experience and perhaps I went on bad days. -

I finally went and saw Pitch Perfect. OMG this movie is hilarious! I love comedies when it does not seem forced and the things they say/do in the movie are things that people would say/do in real life. Rebel Wilson is my new favorite actress and I can not wait to see more and more of her. It was finally nice to see Brittany Snow back on the big screen as well.

The "Pleasant/Unpleasant Surprise" Thread
alilstronger replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Pleasant Surprises: - Mighty Canadian Minebuster - Canada's Wonderland: I went into this coaster expecting nothing and at the end it became one of my fave woodies - Silver Comet - Martin's Fantasy Island: I honestly was not expecting this coaster to be any good at all after walking through the park and seeing they mainly only have carnival style rides, once on it I really enjoyed it and wish we would have had more time there to get multiple rides on it. - Skyrush - Hersheypark: I went into it not expecting anything because it does not look as high as they say it is. After the first time I rode it in a front winged seat it instantly became my favorite steel coaster. - Tennessee Tornado - Dollywood: I read online how short this coaster is and I hate when coasters are really short especially if you have to wait a long time in line. I regret thinking that. This is one of the best steel coasters I have ever ridden. I am a die hard Arrow fan boy and this coaster did NOT disappoint. - Vortex - Kings Island: From just looking at it, it looked painful. I rode it because its a Arrow and I instantly fell in love. It was not rough at all to me and I could not stay off of it when I was there for 2 days. - Sledgehammer - Canada's Wonderland: I had such a awesome time on this ride. I know this was a prototype and prone to problems but it ran all day when I was there and I would love to see more built. Unpleasant Surprises: - Wild Beast - Canada's Wonderland: I thought this was a terrible coaster all around - Leviathan - Canada's Wonderland: I was super excited for this coaster with it being the focal point of the Leviathan tour this past summer but I just did not see the hype over it. After the first drop it was quite boring in my opinion. - Griffon - Busch Gardens Williamsburg: I just do not like this coaster. I just simply find it boring. - The Beast - Kings Island: There is A LOT of hype over this coaster and I went into this with these high hopes - I even made it my 150th coaster. By the end I was bored and did not want to ride it again. I am not into long straight aways and that is what this coaster has. The big helix's did nothing for me at all. I like quick/sudden turns, high banked turns, and LOTS of drops - probably why I prefer the twister woodies over out and back ones. - Predator - Darien Lake: I waited 30 minutes for this coaster because it broke down and then they decided to put the other train on the tracks. I wish I would not have waited for this coaster. I like rough coasters but this one was even too rough for me. -

Don't say that!! I used to think I did not have the money. Than I really thought about it and started saving a year in advance by putting $20-50 away every time I got paid than I would have enough. Also instead of taking my taxes and spending them on impulse purchases I save I used that towards my trips. Also Elissa is AWESOME with allowing you to make small payments for a trip every time you get paid or every week. She has many many many options to get people the opportunity to go on a trip if they really want to. Also if you are worried because you won't know anyone there is no need to. EVERYONE is so nice on TPR trips. I made several friends the first day of both trips I have been on.

ChrisHanKwansivus Gift Exchange 2012!
alilstronger replied to Brandy524's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I wanted to give up a updated list of what I like since all I said before was gift cards and got crap for it I know it was all in fun though. - Total Disney obsessed with Stitch as my fave character - Movies - horror and chick flicks - Music - pop and country - Clothes - size extra small/small shirt - Amusement park related items - Fave color is blue - Love eating out - Reading - books celebrities wrote mostly - Love Lauren Conrad's books -
Do not worry about not knowing anyone on a TPR trip!!! Everyone is nice! I have been on two and have made friends from all over the world that I keep in touch with pretty regularly. The only awkward day for me was the first day but after you find "that one" person you click with the rest of the trip is amazing!

I have a pic from this past summer when my best friend Matt and I (blue Hollister shirt) went to Six Flags America. This was his first park since he was 17. Lets just say he now is a Club TPR Member and already has his season pass to Six Flags for next year. I got him HOOKED! Matt and I

I watched The Opposite of Sex Friday night. This is an older Christina Ricci film from the early 2000's. Also this was my first time seeing it and I thought it was pretty funny. I love Lisa Kudrow and she was hilarious in it.

We didn't do that last year. As far as this year, I don't know. That would be something for Elissa to decide. EDIT: Just tried and it's fairly easy to search for a member (and I will include each person's username when I send you their address) and then just look at their posts and see what they posted in this thread. Pretty much the same amount of time/work it would take to find them on a private board. Six of one, half dozen of the other. Just the one thread worked well last year. But again, that's Elissa's call. I just organize the addresses. Sounds good! Thank you -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
alilstronger replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I really hope Anaconda comes out. However, I will say I LOVE the first drop and the first loop - after that it sucks. It would be neat if they left that huge pond there and whatever they put they include that under water tunnel. I would love to see a twister woodie but that is me. I know they have 3 woodies but I can never get enough of them. -
It seems to me that Gotham Ops are the best. Also, is it true that the train at SFA is the same one from Astroworld? OMG that train is SOOOOO old looking. They have a much BETTER train just sitting there next to the train tracks behind the go karts. It is just sitting there decaying away. I do not understand why they do not use it. The one they are using is so rough and very uncomfortable. When I was there on 10/27 we kept hearing this noise that sounded like a cruise ship taking off but it was the train. The horn on it sounds like a horn on a cruise ship. But in reality their train ride is not worth it. There are no nice views or anything from it.
