I thought it was probably the worst coaster I've ever been on. I only rode it because I had to.

Nice TR, Eric. It's good to see the midwest trippers meet up after the trip. Plus, any day with 5 minute waits is a good day.

Well, having spoken to the owner while on the midwest trip, I know they're getting a family water ride, and another ride for the theme park section that she said was something she had always wanted. We tried to get it out of her, but she wouldn't really tell us anything else.

For the midwest trip, I brought $600 in cash, and just about spent all of it, although I didn't really spend much until we ended up spending so much time at TGIF at Cedar Point, and spent so much time at the bar. I also spent a bit drinking the last day at the Dells, so the motto is clear. Most of your money will go to alcohol. If you don't drink, you'll be fine.

I didn't get any bugs in my face, and I thought those rides were the best of the day, by far. Too bad it had been trimmed, I would have loved to ride it without all that.

Wow, this is great, both ND and Michigan are going down the tubes, while LSU just absolutely destroyed the Hokies. If they keep playing like this, there's no doubt they will pass the trojans in the polls. Not that it really matters, as long as they go undefeated, the BCS title game in the Superdome is waiting for them, and hopefully against USC. ND might not win a game for another month, which is just absolutely beautiful.

If I would have known how easy it was to get everything in, I would have made the trip over to Stricker's grove. Those last few Beast rides were awesome; luckily I was able to ride in the front at night.

Cedar Point had a rough start, but the bar saved us, and actually made the time a lot better. The park wasn't really crowded when it opened back up, and made the day much more enjoyable. Maverick was insane at night. The 2 days at Cedar Point was the highlight of the trip for me, and thanks to everyone who made it rock. Plus I've still got my flashlight.

The ERT was great, we were able to get everything in. And the Q-Bot saved us, otherwise we would have had to wait 3 hours for Superman. And our tattoos made the update, woohoo! I knew those would come in handy for something.

Great TR so far, can't wait to see the rest.

Nice report so far, can't wait to see more shenannegans. I had such a blast on this trip, and it was fun to hang with you guys for a while. VD

Great sketches, Cora.

These pictures are just incredible, Hanno. Keep em coming.

Great pics Hanno. I can't wait to see more of the same. It was nice meeting you while on the trip.

This is an older picture, but I thought I'd throw it in anyway. I'm about to enjoy a Sam Adams summer ale at the hotel here on the first night of the midwest trip, but that photo will have to wait a day. Dead Guy Ale

I really love those nighttime pictures. I've never been in the park when it gets dark.

These are some amazing pictures, they really let you see all the great details of each park and how much fun all you guys had. The midwest trip can't get here soon enough

At least something will happen, but for such a big event as Epcot's 25th the Disney Co. should have had something much bigger planned. Kick the year of a million dreams out the window and celebrate Epcot for the entire year, bring back retro merchandise, and even bring back Dreamfinder.

Fenway is the next one on my list, maybe next year. I just got back from a weekend trip to see the Cubs in Chicago.

Awesome TR so far. It's really helping me prepare for the midwest trip.

I play whenever I can, which is usually twice a month. I'd love to play more, but just don't have the time. My handicap is about a 13, and I have hit a hole-in-one before.

Nice TR so far. I've never made it up that way, but it looks really nice. All that congress stuff looked really neat.

311 with Matisyahu in Baton Rouge this past Tuesday. They both sounded great and put on good shows.

The surprise park on the first day of the Midwest trip

Give me the double and regular quarter pounder over the Big Mac. There's just not enough meat on it. Now if you put the quarter pounder patties on a Big Mac, I would probably change my mind.
