Again, it's all how you count. I would not count it. Just because someone's website counts that way doesn't mean it's right and vice versa! I know that Robb's count is much higher on Coaster Counter or some site then the records he keeps since he doesn't count relocated, powered, etc. There is no wrong or right answer to this one!

^Awesome! See you there!

LOL! I'm slightly disturbed that your girlfriend passed out and you just stood there! And then made her ride a Vekoma! Great TR though! I guess a lot of people were in the waterpark! -

LOL! Great Report... I love when security tells you something and it's so obviously wrong. I remember the same thing with Dragster: Security Guard: "the rides not going to open today" Us: "that's okay we'll wait" Security Guard: "that's pretty stupid, why don't you go ride something else" Us: "We've ridden everything else" Security Guard: "ok, but I told you so!" <> 3 hours later we got on the ride! Security guard actually came up to us later and said that he knew the ride was going to open but was told to tell people it wouldn't. WHATEVER! -
That's it, you're banned! Silly only Pepsi drinker on the site!

^ Yomiuriland = Easy, has its own station then take skyride to the park Summerland = Annoying, get off at one of two stations then take 30min bus ride LaQua = SUPEREASY, get off when you see Thunder Dolphin (from train) or it has like 4 different subway stations.

Wait that looks worse! Now it looks like his penis is gray and on upsidedown!

Photo TR: Robb's Trip Around The World!
SharkTums replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Hey Cerberus! Yeah I just talked to Robb on the phone and he had some quick points and will post a report tonight! - Cerberus was really fun and cool! - Professor Burps people knew him! - "you're going to hate me but the mouse was really awesome!" - Park was really crowded, yet only had 15 minute lines! - Travel Inn just got Wi-Fi YESTERDAY - Off to brighton! - Glad to be out of Portugal! -

If it wasn't for that darn lake, I think I'd like their waterpark more! Elissa "likes chlorine!" Alvey

More! More Caution tape going back down the hill. I doubt the ride is coming out this far, but with those markers near the restrooms/superman shop, who knows! There isn't even room to implode it though, and I can't see them spending the money to remove it when SFMM has left so many other rides/stations to rot away. It's kind of hard to see here, but there is dug up concrete...now maybe it came from the other areas they are digging up, or maybe we can finally say bye bye to the tower! There's a lot of equipment there...and there are some areas dug up, and let's not forget from a previous update there are markers literally ON the sky tower. Now I can't actually see them removing the thing...but this is a bit odd! Sky Tower is now becoming the storage area for the big equipment...but it gets weirder... Through the fence you can see that top piece of stairway still remains even with everything else dug up around it...maybe they will keep that area and they are just rerouting the path a bit? Another look at the newly fenced off Sky Tower/Old Pathway area. Here you can see last weeks picture, but now through a green fence mesh! In two days, they have now fenced off the entire Orient Express/Sky Tower area!

Ok, took a quick trip to the park yesterday and I'm still shocked at how fast they seem to be moving on this thing! Some other really interesting things going on as well! This ride is going to be BIG! I noticed more markers on this visit than in previous ones, and the ground is really starting to be torn up. Here are some pictures to show you what's going on! There will be two posts of pictures. NOTE: Click Here for MORE photos from August 2nd, 2005 - Trees Gone, Big Holes, and More Markers! This is looking towards Orient Express on left side. You can see they're digging up the concrete and perhaps running cables/electric/etc. They are digging all the way from the Ninja area to here. Work is still progressing on the Gardens. Everything now seems torn up except for a few trees marked for saving. Not sure if they'll stay there or move to another location. Here you can see another marker in that area I'm talking about. These are just elevation markers for now, but wow, this could be big! This is where it starts getting intersting. Here is a marker on the Ninja side of Samurai Summit near the bathrooms. Could the ride be spanning this much distance? And if it is, what will be the down time for the mountain this winter? Now we're on the rapids side of that same pathway, these seem to be the farthest out markers..maybe this is the rumored Dive Loop location? This is near the rapids, but on the SkyTower side, here is a marker coming down the mountain side. This is also a fresh cut in one of the trees. Still where the stairs used to be, more torn up concrete and some markers. Looking up at where the stairway used to be to get up to Samurai Summit. Remember from previous updates that this is where the Qwalk/Qbldg markers were. More work was done down by the games area near the rapids. The heavy machinery is gone as the stairs are completely torn up.

$250 for the unit, no game.

^LOL! The first thing I checked when we got to DLP was if that Chip n Dale sign post was still there! NOPE!! I think it was some other character pointing at Robb's crotch now!
-
Dude...you guys are awesome! I really like that one a lot! Did you find it somewhere or did you make it? You see a lot of Disney banners, but not often chip and dale!

Dammit, I totally wish I could attempt to draw! I actually just brought up MSPaint to try and failed miserable. BTW Wes, your poignant use of green really brought out the artistic quality to your report!

You can't miss Robb so you might run into us! Elissa "check the foodstands first!" Alvey BTW, do you know what coasters and rides they'll have at the fair? And also, do they have Elephant Ears?

Thanks for the kind words! We try to pick music that we like, and that we feel 'fits' the park. We also are always happy to take suggestions so if you or your daughter have some idea feel free to send them our way! As for the Donkey...gosh...there has been a thread about that too, it really just came out of nowhere and kind of stuck! Elissa "hope this answers a few of your questions!" Alvey

Really rough estimate...2 or 3pm? It really depends on if we do stuff in the Dells Sat morning or just drive straight to Little A-Merrick-a for opening. Sorry I can't give you a better answer!

Wow, I am so NOT giving you a piggy back ride now!
