The add ons are just what they say "add ons", they are in addition the the cost of the trip, and in addition to the parks already on the trip. So, pretty much you pay extra for parks before and after the actual trip. If you have the time and the cash, the pre and post add ons should be pretty awesome.

I remember that day now, Robb had been invited to preview the new tunnel of love edition of Jet Stream. He wanted to take a couple to see if it really was as romantic as he had heard. So, he invited ILoveRides and ILoveBunnies to ride. Oddly, ILoveRides said there was something he need to do with Gertrude and it couldn't wait. I gladly volunteer to fill in. The ride was romantic and ILoveBunnies got a little carried away, I was able to fight her off. When we returned, we were both amazed and confused at the non-vegan act that was playing out before our eyes. When we returned, we found Gertrude and David had found a "tunnel of love" of their own.

WOC was kinda awesome, I would rate it as good as Fantasmic, but I'm not really into shows. Of course, the fact that my kids loved it, means that I will have to see it again. Did not dig the whole line up and wait thing.

I remember that day, we snuck away for the technical rehearsal of the new tunnel of love, ILoveRides was worried about getting his camera wet. ILoveBunnies got a little carried away, the ride was very romantic. ILoveRides flew into a jealous rage and tried to scare me with a manly pose. Fortunatly for me Big Mike was there to handle the situation with his patented UPS fatality ( Unattach Persons Skull ) and we lived happily ever after. FATALITY!!!

^I'm sure that's not it, let me look for the real one.

Prince Desmond keeps and eye out for ILoveRides.

I uncovered the REAL, unshopped version of that picture. Take the tunnel!!!

This is what ERT should look like, maybe minus the rain gear, or not, the rain was kinda awesome. That's one snazzy shirt, wish I had one. Oh wait, it's free! Thank you Knott's! This is how big a hot tub would have to be to accomidate acers, or this is a new gravey reservoir for ace events. They didn't totally demolish the restaurant. The rain was kind enough to wait til the tour was over to pour on us. Ok, tour over, rain, rain over, group photo. Ok, clench and squish, lot's of TPR craziness, hang on, waiting for Snoopy...and awesome he's got a WCB shirt on too. OK, craziness, throw Snoopy in the air, kids in the air, etc.. Wait for it, it's coming, ok Silver Bullet train [click] and we all have a photogaraffic pimento of the time you played the grand prize game, or something. Wait, another picture for the local paper, and now everybody mob Snoopy for photos. Ok, let's ride stuff, and we did. Lunch, it's raining, time to poncho up! Chicken, Burgers, Pie, Soda, all four food groups. Quest, Brittneys losing, wait she won one, and another, and another, she still lost. Oh wait, shes still gets a prize, awesome! Yay, I got meat relish! Q and A, funny, educational, KILL YOURSELF!!! Wow he really did answer all our questions, I feel dirty. Now it's really raining, wanna see my catawampas? Museum, pick up group photo, text Robb...are we rained out? They are closing the park early, but we get ERT on Supreme Scream, Sidewinder, and Log Ride. Well, one ride won't hurt, why is David not getting off, oh we are riding again, hey Chud, Chaz, whatever, and again, and again. What happened to one time? How did we get on Supreme Scream, I hear Robb, aww hell, he's taking a picture and I'm on the wrong side, one more time...that's enough of that. May as well hit the log ride once, since we are soaking wet already, for once one ride is enough. Hey it's Robb and company, man we all look tore up, let's all go home. I think Robb is trying to mount Snoopy and show him his own version of "doggy style", probably because of that sexy shirt. Brittney made a comeback at the end of quest and got an awesome gift basket. Judging from this picture, I think she has a future as a Price is Right model. My question was if he liked Mrs. Knott's thighs or breasts. He said he's a leg man, which is funny cause his are so short. The start of night ERT, only the manliest of men braved the storm. Oh and these two pansies were there too. Brittney gave me meat relish, I like it, but it did stain my underwear a little. END REPORT

Ok, Xcelerator tour. I was way to excited when I found out this Cushman actually runs and the guy who gave the tour has driven it around the park. Winner winner Sheen dinner! Bring me Dr. Clown shoes. The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning. This would make an awesome paper weight. BFH They actually bolted xcelerator to my head, true story. C’mon bro, I won best picture at 20. I wasn’t even trying. I wasn’t even warm. I am on a drug – it’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body. I’m not bi-polar, I’m bi-winning. I win here and I win there. 1 nerd, 2 nerds, 3 nerds..... I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars. I’m an F-18, bro, and I will destroy you in the air and deploy my ordnance to the ground. Dying is for fools, amateurs. I’m shakin’ a tree. I’m shakin’ all the trees. Awesome tours, thanks Knott''s. Time for ERT, Ghostrider not as brutal as the last time I rode, I'm gonna actually ride it again, and again...ok, that's enough of that. Headed over to Silver Bullet, sprinkling, raining, it's closed. Sidewinder is open, yay. Rain stopped, Silver Bullet open, I'm gonna ride it, and again, and again, maybe one more time...ok thats enough of that. Hey look at the cool WCB Windseeker shirt, I'm gonna get one, I got a coupon. I am now wearing two WCB shirts and a Club TPR jacket, or as Elissa would say, I'm a dork. Time for the Windseeker tour, hey it's Brittney, David is on Silver Bullet...and he's not getting off, um I'm gonna leave, I got a tour to take. Hey, it's David and Brittney, no I wasn't ditching you again, I was just running ahead to make sure they didn't start the tour without you, really. Pictures comming, last set I think.

So, very little sleep, short drive, coffee and hello Knott's Berry Farm. Parking lot's pretty empty, but again, I am not first! Looks like rain, got a poncho in my pocket and my Club TPR hoodie, which is still damp from last nights ERT, Superman, Tatsu, X2 in the rain, man that gets me wet...no really I got soaked. Check in get my packet, one pink bracelet, one gold Wonder Woman bracelet, freebee for a Ghostrider picture, 5 buck group shot, freebee for a t-shirt, oh I am liking this already. A little sprinkle, but Robbs handing out ponchos cause we can do this wet, or we can do this dry, but it's gonna happen, may as well have some protection. Hey look, it's Brittney, she's wearing rubber boots like she's gonna clean up after the horses on the stagecoach. Let's get started with this log ride tour. WE ARE WALKING IN THE FLUME!!! The sensor says "SIT DOWN!"... Now, I got a little lazy with the captions, so I figure Charlie Sheen worked for ILoveRides report, so I'll make it work for me. If I didn't have a caption, I just filled in with Charlie Sheen quotes. Get a packet and a poncho, cause it's rain or shine. Pink wrist band for the event. Also a gold wistband for lunch, it was very "Wonder Woman". Waiting to "nerd out" on our Log Rid and Xcelerator tours. This dude gave an awesome tour of the Timber Mountain Log Ride, so I forgive him for wearing that tie. Walking on this side of the train track was kinda awesome too. I'm such a nerd. Hey, that dude is awesome, wish I could some day stand in the log flume. I've always loved going face first into the bush. The tours already awesome and we haven't even gone inside yet. [A.A.] was written for normal people, people that aren’t special. People that don’t have tiger blood, you know, Adonis DNA. I’m grandiose. Because I live a grandiose life. I’m not aw shucks… because I’m gnarly. Marry a tree. My other marriages didnt work out so I’m going to marry a tree. Resentments are the rocket fuel that lives in the tip of my saber. I always wondered what was on the other side of this door. Take the tunnel!!! That's not water in the flume, it's urine from when wet our pants the moment we knew we got to walk in the flume. What is so bad about being under bridges, anyway? Bridges should sue Anthony Keidis for defamation. I am battle tested bayonets. I’ve got a 10,000 year old brain and the boogers of a 7 year old. I always wondered what it would be like to be a log, now I know. xcelogerator Usually your floating by too fast to really see this. Don't these people know they are supposed to "Sit Down!" (CBS) picked a fight with a warlock. If you’re a part of my family, I will love you violently. These tanks hold gravy for ace events. Tours over, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Ok, next up Xcelerator tour.

^ ^^Awesome, working on resizing Knott's, should be up by morning.

Damn, if I'd known you were heading to Pacific Park I woulda went, still don't got that credit. I hate the beach, which is why it took me forever to get the Belmont credit. Kong is pretty awesome, I would love to see it as a stand alone. I love the studio tour, but I've done it like 100's of times and I really can't take more than one ride. I think I'm heading out there today, maybe, or Sea World...Pacific Park?

ILoveRides must die!

Ok, last set for SFMM day. Having a Six Flags day. Cody won't stop running, dude why are you chasing thing that are not going anywhere? Let's ride Apocolypse, lines too long, nevermind. Let's ride other stuff, yay. Ok, almost time for Q and A. Cody wants fries, I want a Coke, Dan has his fingers in his ears, cause he will go deaf if he hears Superman. Look it's everybody out front of the theater, time for group photo. Oh no! It's raining, squish together and smile like your not wet and cold, lot's of TPR craziness. Q and A is awesome. Lot's of questions answered, you shoulda been there. Look it's Robb's crack, you soulda been there. Ok, gap between now and ERT. If there's a gap, it's time for a nap. Tram, car, plug in my phone that's almost dead. Sleeping, awake, hey I'll wash the windows just in case the rain get's nasty later. Ok, I'm up, jump the tram. Hey look, it's David, Brittneys taking a nap. Let's ride stuff! David is supposed to be meeting the Bebe's. Lemme see, six people and I'm 7, I'm ditching these guys. Cody want's to ride X2, oh no real rain. Let's hit Scream and Batman before they start closing stuff. Scream strobe light kinda lame, but running amazing. Robb says Batman is awesome, let's ride it. Superman in the rain really hurts, let's ride it again! Tatsu, X2, where did everybody go, I've been ditched. Hey look, it's the Bebe's and ILoveRides...hey where did you guys go, I was looking for you, really. We gotta do Knott's in a few hours, so lets get our group picture and leave. A few pictures. Going up. Is it just me, or does it look like Cody's trying to pull my brain out through my ear. Somebody has delicate ears that can't handle the noise from Superman. Oh wait, he's flipping me off isn't he! Special celebrity appearance by Robb's a$$ crack. Took me a year to get that shot...DON'T ASK! Gotta give um props for the props. Really if the Q and A get's any better, they will have to take the show on the road. I see Batman surrounded by the fog of awesomeness only WCB can create. Fog makes it awesome. Winning! Still gotta post Knott's day.

Ok, Goliath tour. And yes, it was a "nerd off". Wallpaper for nerds. This guy thinks he is at Knott's, good luck finding Xcelerator. I like my coasters, like I like my women, fast with lots of curves, and it helps if I don't have to wait in line. I'm surprised nobody spit on us. I like my coasters, like I like my women, high and ready to go down. I'm kidding...no really I'm kidding. Best part of the ride. HI, I'm Caesar and I'm a coaster dork. See, even I take a good picture once in awhile. I think Goliath is flirting with me. Oh yeah, we got that close. Take the tunnel! Goliath, special "Escape From Nerds!" edition. Nerds in thier natural environment. Just a few more from the Q and A and night time ERT still to come.

Um, ok ERT over, let's do stuff, and then we did. Yay lunch, with Big Mike and Chuck. The conversation pretty much went: Coaster? Coaster. Coaster, theme park, coaster. Oh yeah, theme park, coaster, coaster... Just a few random pictures. Coaster porn. Ohhh, so sexy! Something is wrong with that kid. Yup, we rode water rides in the cold, cause we aren't just enthusiasts, were friggin' TPR. Gotta be at WCB to get this shot. Ok, I think next will be the Goliath tour, but I ain't making no promises. I still need to see what I took pictures of.

^Thanks, nice to know your expectations are so high, that it's virtually impossible to live up to them. Ok, the Bite 2 tour, cause if she bites you twice, that's love. Anyways, it's one of the permanent Fright Fest mazes. We got to do it with the lights on, which I never do, cause nobody want's to see that. I did not get great pictures, but then when have my pictures ever been good? Ok, headed up to Bite 2, Alex rides Superman, misses the tour. Hey lets go in with this group, oh wait, Brittney just elbowed us out of the way, guess we will get the next one. Hey look it's Neil popping outta the wall... A little history lesson before the Bite 2 tour. This would look awesome in Prince Desmonds bathroom. Da da da da da da da da....Batman! If this is torture, chain me to the wall! In case you were trying to figure out where this is at, there's The Laughing Dragon. Sock it to me! Yeah Dave, come on man, open up I think the cops saw me! Ok, so next I got a few random shots from the day and since all the good shots have been taken, they will most likely suck.

Ok, so here's my photo trip report for WCB. It's not great, mostly because of so many pictures already being posted. I mean I don't want to bore you with the same shot everyone else has, or a crappy version of a good picture somebody else took. I also will try to stay away from the standard shots, meaning stuff everybody has seen a picture of a million times. Ok, report part. Woke up 4:30, left a little after 5, stopped to air up my tires and get a drink. Got to SFMM, aww hell, I'm not first. Unknown to me Joey Ray is taking a picture of my car, stalker? Park, jam everything into cargo pants, put on ClubTPR hoodie. Say hi to Robb, somehow Chuck randomly hears "month" during the conversation and thinks it's my last name, he directs me to the other line. Get my packet from Chuck, cause my last name turns out not to be Month. I know I just read which wristband to wear in an email or something, but I'm retarded and have to ask Robb, Robb takes my picture holding the correct wristband, awesome! Picture with Big Mike, awesome again! Look around to see who's there, find Chaz or Chud, whatever that guys name is, which is cool cause he's on the NE trip with me, awesome. Find Cody and Kevin + Alex is three and me 4, instant group. I see iloverides and guess what, he loves rides, awesome. He also keep looking at the geese around the park as if they should be doing something more entertaining. Robb shoots another picture, damn I must be sexy today. Niel comes out and says welcome to enthusiast day, um no, this is WCB! Cody has a plan to attack the donuts first while they are not expecting it, mission accomplished, the didn't know what hit um. Oh, hi Erica and group who we ate breakfast with and then attempted to ride Goliath which was broken, so we didn't. Is everybody following this? Goliath stuck on the lift hill, let's ride scream, and ERT is on! Um, yeah that's how it started. The moon was supposed to be like the closest in 18 years or something, so I took a picture of it, and oddly it looks like every other picture of the moon I've ever seen. Little did I know that at this very moment, someone was taking a picture of my car for thier trip report. Stalker? You decide. Aww hell, I wanted to be first! Now if there were only a giant sign to point me in the right direction. The Big Man makes a west coast appearance, and I was able to fight my way through the crowd of hotties and get a picture. The Rays working hard even though there is nobody in line, Dan explains that the rain is his enemy, while Jeff Jonson tells us about once being attacked by a pterodactyle. That's right, actual TPR celebs handling your package. This guy thinks he's at Disneyland for a 1/2 marathon. Buddy only thing we are gonna marathon here is X2! Can you spot the vegans who exploit helpless geese? "Gertrude, it's either WCB or the Chinese restaurant, now staple these manly arms to yourself." Then he said "welcome to enthusiast day"...Dude! I'm here for WCB! I convinced myself that if I drank the orange juice it cancelled out the donuts. Why must young people run to things? Theres no line Kevin, STOP RUNNING! X2 will do this to you sometimes. Lame! My son wants Thomas back. Hope we get this for night ERT! Yeah, we did, in the rain, and it was awesome! Ok, that's it for now, gotta sort through stuff to see what else I got.

Wow, awesome trip report, it almost feels like I was there.

As always, this is great.

Started working on a TR, but man I took a lot of pictures. Gonna try and post some things other people have not, I mean the TPR post were pretty complete, but I got a few original shots.

Great trip report. Night ERT in the rain was awesome! I mean I heard some people saying that if Xcellerator wasn't running it wouldn't be worth staying for, but anyone who left early missed out on one of the highlights of the day. I know it rained on and off all day, but I got multiple rides on Ghostrider, Xcellerator, Sidewinder, Silver Bullet, and Supreme Scream, caught a ride on the Log Ride and Calico MIne Ride too. Have not had this much fun a Knott's in awhile.

^Credit whore!!!

^^LOL!

^^^Yes, I did Knott's, I didn't see you and the Robb posse around for a good part of the day, so it will be interesting to see what you guys were up to all day.
