Wow, this one hit me outta left field it was pretty obvious what they were up to when they moved invertigo and didn't add anything. Now, can I get a discount on my plat pass for one less park? Yeah yeah, I know the answer to that one. I didn't plan on ever going back anyway so I don't mind that the answer is no.

Final Installment! Let's get up close and personal with Mindbender! I'm talking REALLY up close! Weeeeeeeee! The second train was undergoing some renovations. As a result, the line for mindbender was upwards of 90 minutes. Through the trees! Did I mention we got close, close enough to reach out and touch someone! Loopy! Full of force, full of awesome. Transfer nerd shot! Rudie giving this oh sh!t section of the transfer track a complete inspection. Make love to it! That's the look of a man who is satisifed. Oddly enough, he had to burn one off afterwards. OMFG! This yellow thing makes Mindbender go vroom They were adding boats to the rapids. I must say, this is one of the better rapids rides I've been on. It got us wet, forceful, and fun! The Relax-o-nator! Arrow log time! I think this was the third one built. I wasn't going to ride Georgia Cyclone, but Sam talked me into it. We hit it in the magic seat and it wasn't too bad. But some of the expressions on these people faces tell me they had worse seats than we did. Hairtime OMFGFFFF! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arco was up and running, the park made good on their promise to try and get it up for us, and they delivered! So it was TPR Quest and FREE BEER time, we had singing, we had theft, we had fried pies and beer, and we had... Dogystyle? WTF? This quest business is really screwed up. Want to know how screwed up? You gotta show up! So quest was over, the park handed out goodie bags that put the icing on a cake that was already iced. Full of awesome stuff. I can't thank them enough for all they did for us! Now it was time for evening ERT! Ninja looks so good, but is sooo bad. Actually with the arrow trains, it rides pretty good. So we practiced for the water challenge. Empty? Go figure. Water challenge was awesome, we all got soaked, Robb was dumping water on people, but later got dumped on by Brad (Six Flags guru who set this whole thing up), but most important, we had fun! What, that's all? Yep, that's all folks! Hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did at the park. Next time, join us!

Here we go with Part 2 - Photo Walkback So after the mansion tour we had tons of ERT on DDD, Mindbender, Cyclone, Scorcher, and Batman! The drop was good. Looks like Adam was having a good time. Double shot! But the real reason we came to DSB was for Mindbender! YAY! This ride delivers! Ride manufactures today just can't seem to match the quality of what the pope of coasters could do. Full of Awesomeness! This is another reason we come to bash events, empty queues! Empty Trains! And an empty park, yea! I just like this shot, so I stuck it in. Another creation from the Pope. Best. Enterprise Wheel. Evar.. If you look close, you can see an arrow train and an arrowplane in this pic Everyone lined up for lunch and chowed down on some of the best food at a SF's event I've ever had. Om nom nom nom and this is what we had in our backyard while chowing down So it's photo walkback time. How many Club TPR shirts do you spot? I gave up counting, but I did manage to get this shot of GASM Shots you just can't get anywhere else but on a trip or at a bash! .... Nerds walking. Superman! Judging by the looks on their faces, the water challenge should be, well, challenging. GP just hanging out. Graveyard. Guys, NO! We are NOT touring the food warehouse! These nerds are waiting for... This! They raise chickens in here for that awesome chicken sandwhich we had at lunch. What's in here? Fresh vegies? The girl in the "Resource Protection" office was waving to us. Can some please explain what the heck resource protection is? Is it the prevention of employees from leaving? EPA office? Theft? Except for us! Wile riding his rocket on the wall of fame. Line for the mens room? Dude, you have to have all of your limbs to ride. Too soon? We got some cool shots of Goliath! The park let us spread out a good distance as a group to allow everyone to get the shots they wanted. No cattle herding here! This guy apparently thinks he's riding Mindbender. Choo Choo. The people on the train were like WTF? Zach was hanging with the park hotties. But you can see what I mean, they really let us spread out to take nerd shots. Dive! Dive! Dive! Noted! What used to be here? Hmmmmm..... Ok, so that's all of Part II. What? No Mindbender Porn you say? Well, I'm saving the best for Part III, the final installment.

I can't believe I missed the guest satisfaction scores banner! I think, however, I was too busy looking at something else...

So here it is, the awesome, the amazing, the epic Deep South Bash trip report! First of all I would like to thank everyone at Six Flags who worked to put on an event that, in my opinion, showed up their sister park, Magic Mountain. Their hospitality was over the top with Melinda, the parks President, stopping to chat with us while she was out walking in the park. Mindbender still beats Shockwave. Dare Devil Dive I thought to be a little tame versus what I was hoping it was to be, but is still a solid ride that is packing the public in with 2 hour waits. The ride crew on DDD was on their game pushing trains out as fast as the GP would let them. While I'm not a total fan of lockers, this is a ride they may want to consider it on as the ops spent most of their time trying to get people to put their crap up. Overall, this is one event I would love to see happen again next year. The time of year brought lighter GP crowds and the weather was awesome! If you didn't attend this event, you missed out! This will be a longer PTR than I would normally do because this place was so awesome and we all had such a good time. I'll start off with the Haunted Mansion tour! Yes, we got to walk up into the scenery and get personal with the animatronics! Enjoy! Oh, and if you are in any of these photos and would like an original fully watermarked copy for your collection, message me with your e-mail address and I will send it to you! Up before the sun to attend one of the best TPR events of the year! The park teased us the night before with Goliath, and they continued to tease us as they added the trains and tested. These guys are all lined up to get their tickets at the ticket booth. From the parks newest employee! The gathering of the geeks. Robb just asked eveyone if they would like FREE BEER and wine. Looks like majority rules. "This lanyard has magical powers, is very durable, and if you lose it, no FREE BEER or ERT for you!" The pearly gates have opened and everyone is running to the breakfast table Good gravy people! NERD!! Oh. Wait. That's ME! And thanks to Jake for the assist on the photo! So after my #400 on DDD, we made our way to a Club TPR Exclusive. A walk-thru tour of Haunted Mansion! Membership has its privy's In we go thru the rear entrance Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh They let us walk anywhere we wanted as long as we didn't cross over. As you can see the ride was drained, but they had all of the effects turned on. So, since everyone gave me so much crap about not floating through the mansion back in May, I not only rode it twice, but also walked thru it, so there. You float from this way. I think. Basically we entered just after the photo op at the front of the ride. The middle dude was yanking on the front dudes pants trying put something long and round inside. This is a really tripped up ride. This is where we took that group photo posted on the offical DSB thread. My, what a big tounge you have We are all still taking it in, trying to figure out who dreams this stuff up. Open wide and say ahhhhhhh We got up close and personal with this attraction. But not near as up close and personal as R.D. did with Mindbender. Want to see how close, come back for the next part to see. This is where you turn and go into the creepy part. NERD SHOT! This dragon thingy... is controlled by all this Boat lift used to lift boats that are dropped off and pulled out behind those black doors. Yeah, true backstage tour. We went through the door and walked in here. Boom! This is the crew that sings the monster anthem Bye! But wait. There's more! This is the reservoir for Monster Mansion This boat was too scared to enter the mansion. Out the back of the Mansion we found Goliath waiting for us! Bunch of TPR members, I mean dummies. But not for us! The tour of Monster Mansion was Epic, but the park was just getting started! Part II coming soon where we will have some lunch, go on a photo walk back of the entire park, and more!

Being within walking distance to the hotel: winning! Morning can't come soon enough!

I suppose I should get myself to Atlanta soon.

That is a crane that is owned by the park and has always been stored in that spot when not being used. I'm not sure of its size, but they will need another larger crane for at least the lift, drop, and loop. And those "X-Flight pieces" are the frame of a tent that used to be where Little Dipper is. And they have been there since opening day 2010 Did you guys really think I was being serious?

Had a great day at the park today with fantastic weather and lighter crowds. Was prepared to buy a flashpass but it just wasn't needed today. Most rides were near walkon and those that weren't were less than a 15 minute wait. The best part of the day was getting to ride Eagle backwards and forwards all while racing hint:SFMM:hint. Iron Wolf's trains are gone and a crane is poised for action in the maintenance area behind it. A full TR is forthcoming one of these days so I won't bore you with many pics or construction pics except for two: Iron Wolf trains are gone! X Flight pieces on site!

Hades, it's a hellish jackhammer. I rarely get headaches from woodies, but this thing felt like getting pounded in the rear by Piers, or so I've heard.

Wacky Worm, hands down.

While I still refuse to post that onride photo of me, I will say that had someone chosen the Jersey Shore Whore option, I would have gladly posted multiple pictures of myself whoring, but since no one did, you guys may or may not ever see it ^ Eventually, yes! I will run a little wish granting contest again this weekend with more options, so stay tuned, wish granting will continue next week, there *might* even be a VTR option...just sayin'

It just keeps getting better!

^ Glad you liked it. Prowler when warmed up takes ones breath away, that's for sure, and Patriot, I could ride that thing all day, and have on occasion!

So someone wanted a little whoring for the third wish that I was granting, so, here it is This is Kiddieland in Pittsburg Kansas. Kiddieland is located inside Lincoln park where you can find a golf course, putt putt golf, and other park type things you would expect. I haven't located too much info on the park, but the gentleman who runs it absolutely adored the kids that were there and treated them all as if they were his grandchildren. (Yes, he was older) Looked as if he only had one employee and they rotated operations of the handful of rides on property. So, without further talk, here is a very short whorish report. Here we are, ready to whore. But first, lets take a quick look around. I couldn't fit These were some old school 40's rides And a do it yourself ride Do you like to do it youself? Well, on this train, you can't. Hmmm, what is that back there? Why yes, yes it is! It's a NERD SHOT! Oh yeah, and a kiddie credit. So no, I won't show the picture of me riding it. Sorry. Not gonna happen. Cost me $1.50 to get spun around about 10 times. The old man was having a blast with the kidos that were there. You know, it really was a neat, very small park in a small town that just was peaceful. Who knows, maybe one day I'll settle down in a small town, but just not anytime soon!

This new submission tool is crazy easy, so easy that not only a cave man can do it (*cough* jeff* cough*) but that I got carried away and double dipped on two previously submitted items. Must.refrain.from.submission.addiction. **edit** Robbalvey is showing as the top attraction for Bowcraft. I checked, I have no ride sign for that ride, Elissa, on the other hand, might

Seeing those pictures of the chasis testing makes me want to strap a lawn chair to it and go for a spin!

Much like in other fun activities, I prefer my hands crossed behind my head laying on my back.

^ Thanks for stopping by! ^^^ Checking the road map now, maybe I'll try to sneak up there this weekend!

Orient Express - WoF

The bumper cars are nice, but I bet no head on bumping will be in place. And a scrambler with music, that should be nice. At least they are listening, more flats!

^ Race the Trains!

This looks a lot like "X" at Magic Springs with the added bonus of a loop. I'm down with it! SF's is really getting some neat stuff for 2012, much needed neat stuff!

^ I got sound on the youtube videos, however you had to fastforward thru the crap.
