YEah I have been slackin' sorry you guys, I will try every effort to finish. Hey I have been really busy, I will start posting the rest. Everyone wants the TGIF's pics. Casey" I will finish, I promise"Childers

I feel the need to comment on this, I just don't know why. LOL As most of you know, yeah I like to drink when I am on vacation (or whenever). But I have this thing that if a park has beer or whatever, Fantastic! If not it is not that big of a deal. I know some parks like to have a family friendly atmosphere and do not want alcohol at their parks which is fine. I have no problem with that, I can just wait until later. Case and point on the midwest trip, Cedar Point didn't have any alcohol, we had to go to Fridays' bar to drink. Not a big deal. You can do the exact same thing. You have City Walk with about 6 or so different spots to get a drink. Not really a big deal, besides it will be cheaper anyways. Besides it is probably safer for the scare actors that there is no beer at HHN... Casey"I could use a drink right now"Childers

You know, everyone is complaining about the beast....but I am gonna say right now, one of my rides on the beast was the best ever. I will never forget it. I was not on a wheel seat, Robb was sitting in front of me, with T.J. and it was one of the best rides ever:) Casey"I will never forget"Childers PS......Yes I was very surprised....I was totally caught off guard...but what a great night.

Yeah I have to agree on this one, Beast was a definate highlight on this trip.....I wonder if it will ever happen again Casey"is it time for another trip yet"Childers

^OMG Larry, now that was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay my two and a half cents on this thing..... Okay for all the Cedar point fanboys out there, I am not bashing your park this is just my opinion. The park was fine. It really reminded me of SFMM with all the coasters, not much theming and lack of dark rides. Don't get me wrong it was a fun park, despite it has it's own weather system, and the park management likes to close down the coasters due to a sprinkle of rain. Yes the weather was bad when we went and I totally understand that if it is a torential downpour they will close stuff. I don't care TGIF's bar was open, had more fun there most of the time while the park decided whether or not to open rides. To me for a park to win overall best park, you have to have all kinds of things, not only just coasters. You need great food, coasters, dark rides, kiddie park, great employees, cleaniness overall theming and such and I just don't see Cedar Point having the best in all of that. I have been to smaller parks that were WAYYYY better then Cedar Point. Esspecially over in the UK and Sweden. Alton Towers and Liseburg were two HUGE standouts for me that were really great parks. Okay next rant, the Voyage. You know I must have been on the wrong coaster or something, because almost everyone that has ridden this has said,"greatest woodie EVAR" All I have to say is, can I please smoke what you did before you went on this coaster, cause I have no clue what your talking about! Maybe it was because of my height or I was sitting in the wrong seat but this thing beat the HELL out of me!!!! I mean the first two drops were great, I was thinking in my mind wow this coaster can stack up to Balder....but then the first turn and all through the forest just tore me up. My legs and ribs hurt so bad halfway through this ride, it's the first time I ever wanted off of something right then and there. To me it was just so rough and over aggressive, I just didn't have fun on it after the first two drops. I thought Raven was much better than Voyage. Even Holiday world was a fun little park, I liked how it was layed out and was kind of quirky but I thought the rides and stuff that was there appealed to everyone, not just us coaster geeks. Bakali.....yeah it was fun, but Deluge...OMG so much better! Okay that is just my opinion.....you may now tear my stuff apart, just be gentle or I will find you! Casey"I miss Kennywood's FRIES!!!!!!!"Childers

Hmmmm....I wonder who has that picture. I don't know maybe the guy you keep picking on! It will be coming up I promise. I hope to do some tonight before I am gone for a couple of days in Vegas.

^^No worries, you will learn, you now know and knowing is half the battle!

You had some good stuff in there, good job. But when you are in front of Alpingeist and you said,"your first step to becoming a coaster whore." No that doesn't count. Credit whoring first step would be a kiddie coaster, big B & M's don't count... Casey"is still learning the finer art of credit whoring"Childers

YUP that one...LOL. SO awesome you guys got those pics, too bad no one got pics of the water stopping on the slide. Too funny, now we just have to wait for Cora's awesome rendition of the "Hot pink slide of DEATH!!" I for one cannot wait. Casey"Hot chicks in a boat is always good"Childers

I was thinking the same thing...LOL gawd that boat was so scary. And to someone who asked where the hot chicks were, they went down in the boat before us:) Casey"where are those pictures..LOL"Childers

LMAO, yes, yes I would look like that. Great picture, was wondering where that was:)

Actually Terrance, Carl and I were more worried about our feet then anything...lol. They had this patio looking thing built under one of the loops and as we watched the train come through, Carl and I just looked at how close peoples feet were coming to that thing, looked at eachother, and said, "ummm NO WAY!" It was just to close of a clearance, and I wanted to keep my feet. The height restriction was there for a reason, so I didn't want to take any chances. Casey"but I have the SFMM Deja Vu credit"Childers

Let's post some more. Here we are at Mt Olympus. Day 1. We were supposed to have ERT this night, but it was rained out. I mean really bad rain! This was the beginning of another TPR First- Casey's Makeshift Bar! Yes I walked a mile and a half, in the rain, we basically had to swim to the store to get beer and bring it back for my friends. If a hotel didn't have a bar, I made one DAMMIT! So here we go. Awww, we say goodnight to Casey's makeshift bar, and get ready for early morning ERT at Day 2 of Mt. Olympus. This was when the drama on the boards started! The "why aren't there more pics of other people, I keep seeing the same 10 people" post....wow they look serious! Sorry Ryan, you just get the empty bottles! Damn Cora! She really likes that beer. Vanessa makes sure she gets beer too. Cora has beer for the first time EVAR! I think she likes it! The TPR bag comes in handy. It makes a great beer carrier! After ERT was cancelled by severe weather. I walked in a lightning storm, got beer and here we have A TPR FIRST: Casey's Makeshift Bar! Even Jahan doesn't know what to think about what Dane just did! WOW DANE!!!! Trying to make some money from TJ...LOL Awwwww, Charlie and Chuck having a moment...but then we see this.... Chris says, "there are strange things afoot here at the Mt. O!)" We are all in the lobby getting ready to go to night ERT! On the bus ride, I become a tattoo, courtesy of Cora. This Gyro was awesome....so good! On the way to the Dells, we stop for lunch. Nothing like spinning meat!

Hey guys and gals! Sorry for taking so long to update, so let's see if I can make a HUGE update. Let's start here. Well I have to give a little back story or the pics will make no sense. On the way to Indiana Beach, we stopped off to get lunch, well there was a group of us that went to Taco Bell. While there, we found this little closet, that was like 6 inches wide. So what happens when you get TPR people together and a small closet...hmmm let's find out. Oh and Indiana Beach pics to!!!! Christiana shows us her battle scars, so far on the trip. OUCH! Some deep concentration, playin' Fascination! Wes is always prepared for rain. Robb and John taking a ride. Night starting to fall. Look we even had some special guests show up. It's Matt! AKA Mr. Taco:) Indiana Beach! This reminded me so much of Blackpool. Rides just crammed on top of eachother. "Charlie just get into my closet, it will be fun" LOL...okay enough closet pics, it's time for........ As Christiana goes into the closet, she finds a very interesting "apparatus". Chris is speechless!! See how small this closet is, but oh it holds some very interesting things!

^Hey Joe! Now you know what happens on TPR trips ends up on the TPR boards, this ain't Vegas baby! Joe I must say that is was really cool meeting you and I have to give a huge THANK YOU to you and all the all other guys from GCI! It was awesome that you guys made it out and actually ran your own coaster. I thought it was really cool. So thanks again, and hey you look good in pink! Oh and really quick: Dane you should be, because that is coming up soon!!!!!

^^No Christiana, I am saying that you and Joe have fanboys...what Psyclone said. Fanboys are always looking for pics of people who work for coaster companies, and really gorgeous women:) So on that note it's time for more photos, again I am glad everyone is enjoying these. I am having a blast reliving the experiences that I had during this trip. So much more to come!!!! But now I give you Beech Bend! Joe showing us how it's done. That's right monkey, check my lap bar! Vanessa is all ready for Kentucky Rumbler ERT!!! Hey Joe, theres no time for dress up...It's time for ERT and you're supposed to be checking lap bars!! ...the goats gettin' even more love!!! Awww Christiana, giving some love to the goats....and... Wes kickin back old skhool style! I really should have stepped on it..LOL and yes my foot really is that big and I am 6'8" DAMMIT!!! Chuck, "Hey you guys I don't like this!" T.J,"Hey Ryan isn't that your hat?" Ryan,'NOOOOOOOO!!!" These beautiful ladies, Vanessa, Cora and Christiana brave the Shock Drop. They had some swings...(OMG FANBOY ALERT) I see two guys from GCI!!!! But one of the main reasons we are here, Kentucky Rumbler...a GCI woodie! Here we are at Beech Bend, with one of the residents!
