Went this past week, all the rides were walk-on's, and for most you didn't even have to get out of your seat for another ride. Weird thing was that the most people I saw in line were for Jaguar and Pony Express, both had pretty full trains. Ghostrider was running good (gold train, front seat, last car). I actually rode it twice with no bruises. Oh, and Silver Bullet actually felt a little forceful. Pretty good day at the park, but then it's always pretty dead during the week this time of year.

Hey Robb, if Piers jumped on you do you think you could beat him off? -

The Piers video's have to be included on the next Club TPR magazine, they may be the greatest thing Robb ever filmed. -

Honestly I love all the TPR trip reports, but this one is really amazing. Can't wait to see what else goes on, or at least what your willing to post. -
^During Q and A at West Coast Bash they said that some ride component was burning out on the return, maybe resistors or something I can't remember and I don't know enough about the ride to speculate. But it was indeed ride components that being burned out the was preventing the ride from running at top speed.

Knott's Haunt - 2010 Enthusiast Event!
fatdaddy replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Pretty much I called the girl and said "I would like to buy tickets for the enthusiast haunt event on the 3rd". She asked what club I was with, I said Club TPR. She asked if I wanted the 99 or 55 dollar option and then she took all my info and emailed me a conformation. It's that simple, and she was very nice, see you all there. -

Cool beans, got signed up. Can't go wrong for the price, and gotta see how scarey Robb can be. -
San Diego Zoo Gives Tortoises Some LOVE!!!
fatdaddy replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I guess my son didn't get the memo about not riding tortoises. Anyways, they just had a presentation at the school and the dude said you can get a free tortoise if you go to tortoise.org, I guess all you need is a yard with grass. Aside from that I'm glad they are gonna give the big guys some love. Kids love um, but I think a lot of people don't even know they are there. I dunno, my wife goes out and then somehow my son's riding a tortoise. -

Good thing I didn't buy tickets yet. This works out better, I mean I really don't need ERT at Knott's since I have season passes, and Knott's is literally a ghost town in the off season. The grub n ghouls option works best for me. -
The Official TPR Bag of Crap Thread!
fatdaddy replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Awesome, thanks, knew it was something cool. The randomness of the bags o crap is better than my Christmas stocking when I was a kid. (My aunt used to get home late, so pretty much I got random stuff she picked up from 7/11. Beef jerky, yum.) -

A question from a previous bag o crap, Robb what is this thing? It's like white nylon or something, looks like a piece of a cutting board, I dunno, you tell me. What am it? -

Do you have an iPad?

^^I think I feel about iStuff, the same way Elissa feel about Pepsi. But, it's not like my laptop is momochorme and runs on tubes. -
