ILoveRides

Thanks to the support of TPR members, Gary The Giraffe succeeded in raising $50 for Coasting for Kids! http://www.facebook.com/GaryTheGiraffe Gary is so happy!

^ It hasn't been officially announced, and I don't think anyone knows yet. Last year it was on Jaguar. But sign up anyways! It'll be a fun day with other TPR members regardless of what coaster it is. Obviously we hope for a good coaster, but we'll make the best of whatever coaster we get.

Huge news! Gary The Giraffe, the money donating machine, will now donate up to $50 total! He's crazy! All you have to do is "Like" his Facebook page. He will donate $1 for every NEW like he gets (everything over 41 likes). It's completely FREE to you! http://www.facebook.com/GaryTheGiraffe < "Like" this page! 1 smacker per like. No questions asked.

Can't afford to make a donation? Don't worry! Gary The Giraffe has you covered! Just "Like" Gary The Giraffe on Facebook. He's donating $1 for every new person that "Likes" his page (U̶p̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶$̶2̶5̶ Edit: Now up to $50!). It's super easy and super free!

^ Gary thanks you! $4 raised so far. http://www.facebook.com/GaryTheGiraffe Each new "Like" = $1 to Coasting for Kids.

Yep, you had to go and post it here too, just to further rub in that you saw the TIV and Sean Casey and I, well, didn't. I hope another network picks up Storm Chasers. It was the ultimate reality show. You can't get much more real than driving through a tornado.

By the way, I just spoke with Gertrude, and she totally wants to help out! If you donate $5 on my page, and then either PM me or post about it here to let me know - Gertrude will personally thank you. https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/DavidWavid/KnottsBerryFarm DO IT!

I'm in for Knott's! I'm pretty sure I can convince a few others to join the event too! I'm looking forward to spending the day with other TPR members. https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/DavidWavid/KnottsBerryFarm

Great update! This ride is looking amazing.

I know from the Gertrude TRs I've done that it can take a LONG time to put together a Photoshopped TR with a story line, and your TR is even more complex than the Gertrude ones, so I'm not surprised you put so much time into it. But this... Now THAT is some serious dedication. It crossed my mind when reading the report - "Did he REALLY shave?" But I just thought, nah - it must be Photoshopped. I can't believe you really went through with that!

ShushHHHH!!! I LOVE Captain EO. It's a HUGE loss when it closes!!! (Actually, in all honesty, I could care less if they close it in Paris. But when they decide to axe it at Disneyland California it's going to be a sad, sad day for me.)

Sorry ACE, Blame ILoveRides!!!!!! LOL!!! We can't all be winners! Gotta keep it interesting, and it wouldn't be interesting if every manly pose got approved. Maybe next year ACE!

Thanks for taking the time to post so many updates from the Klassy Kruise! It was tons of fun following along.

I loved the "Fun Ship Freddy" joke. Great TR!

^ There are supposed to be repeat pictures! It's part of his condition, brought on by the Revolution OTSRs.

HOLY CRAP! This is the best trip report in history. I'm speechless.

Here's a pic the ride operator took from the last train of the night... totally empty! The ride crew was awesome and hilarious too. It's probably the closest thing I've had to a TPR ERT session outside of TPR. So much fun!

I guess I really lucked out. I went labor day weekend a few years ago and there was no line on this coaster at all. I spent the last hour or two of the day just staying on the train and watching the beautiful sun set while repeatedly being blasted out of the volcano - I loved every minute of it. To date it's still one of my favorite rides.

Made the coaster wrap around a bit more, and a few other changes...

^ It's super appealing! But if he requests I can easily switch it for something else.

The video is hilarious! I've got to say for all the flak you're giving Carnival, the video makes their crew look AWESOME!

I'm between these two... The older version. I like its simplicity. Newest version. Not as simple, but does a better job of illustrating the tag line. (Note: The gallery images wouldn't rotate - I tried to pick ones that could last awhile)
