Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
odene497 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think these restraints are fine. Sure, plain T-bars are cool, but if these will allow more people to ride and save even one person from being thrown out, then they're worth it. I don't see how padded flexible straps are going to be a huge inconvenience. I'd prefer the feeling of security. -
And the one at Darien is a LOT better than that crap at SF America! And it's true, trackwork on Predator has given it a somewhat enjoyable front seat ride! Regarding this slide stuff, a flow rider sounds cool. I usually skip the water stuff, but this and another slide complex might make it all worthwhile.

Club TPR is Coming in March!

This is going to be a horrible incentive for me to live out of my car and travel the country/world. MUST USE ALL PARK DISCOUNTS -
Club TPR is Coming in March!

Sounds great, I'm excited! The perks are incredible, and you guys definitely deserve some financial support for the upkeep of the site. And LANYARDS, NEAT. Maybe I can even hang it out of my pocket like the cool kids do. -

Very cool! Well I wasn't around then, I love seeing my home park in its earlier days. Thanks! -
Coaster Expedition Volume 13 is HERE!
odene497 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is excellent. Thank you SO much for everything. Now I'm all giddy, and can't wait until August. -
TPR's New Forum UPGRADE!
odene497 replied to Hhappy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I didn't really follow along much with the whole process of changing over to the new system, and when I'd first looked at it I was a bit put off, but I tend to not like change for a lot of things. But it's grown on me quite a bit, and think overall it looks good and was well done. -
Wonder what your reaction would be if it was your mom, your sister, your wife or your daughter? Thank you, Bob. I'm glad there's some people in here that get it. Actually, he pretty much did imply that it was funny. And like Tyler said in the rest of his post, it's the conditions of the situation that are amusing, in terms of the guy. No, I don't think the man violating the woman is funny. I think it's funny that there's this douchebag guy, on a ride, who couldn't contain himself and had to grab a boob. I think that's funny, because the guy is that big of a douche. I'm laughing at him. I'm not that much of an ass.

I love coffee. I greatly prefer iced over hot, and a little chocolate in there is nice. I love coffee Nips candies. Or any other coffee flavored thing. The best coffee I've had is some of the stuff we bought from a little family plantation in Kona, Hawai'i.

Those are pretty. At Enchanted Forest up in Old Forge, there are two slides called "The Shadow", named because you can see the silhouette of the people going down them. But these are definitely more clear. I always thought actual clear slides would be neat, more from a rider's perspective, but someone brought up how dirty they'd get. These look nice.

TPR's 2011 Trips Questionnaire!
odene497 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I noticed there wasn't anything listed, is there going to be any sort of add on for Spain? -
TPR's 2011 Trips Questionnaire!
odene497 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, the Japan trip looks incredible, and I may even be able to afford it! I'm leaning towards that, but otherwise, Spain looks great too. -
Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain Park PTR
odene497 replied to crazydaveh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That looks pretty fun! Stone mountain is very cool, done both the cable car up/hike down and vice versa. What do they say? The horses nostril can fit a house? Or maybe a car. It's big. -
Moreys Piers Discussion Thread
odene497 replied to LcHg5265's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Interesting. Morey's is such a cool place. Even if their coasters are a bit meh, the flats make up for it. -
A Credit that may just not be worth it..
odene497 replied to antmcmullen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That looks amazing. I've always read it that people like coasters because they make you think you're risking your life. Well, most feel completely safe, so rides like this add a boost of excitement! -
Club TPR Membership Card - VOTING!!!
odene497 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Overall, I really like n7's. The only thing I don't like about this final version is the cartoon roller coaster/drop tower, I really preferred Kumba. rcrider's is really nice. Something about it is very TPR to me. Jds03. LOVE the colors in this one, however I understand how the picture could have printing issues (But it's so pretty!). The logo is great as well. I know that whatever the card becomes, I'll either love it or grow to love it. It's been really neat watching these designs be created, and will be even cooler when I have one in my wallet. -Nick -
TPR's "Coaster Footage" DVDs Being Retired
odene497 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
When will Roller Coasters in the Raw Vol. 3 be in stock again? If I'm going to finish off my set, I might as well do it at once. -
OoOoOoOoh. This could be cool. I've sorta missed all the Looney Toons crap at Darien Lake, the park is pretty bland. As long as the park can get some proper care with the occasional upgrade, I'm happy. And, if they hurry up and do this, then I'll already be covered with my 2010 Six Flags pass. Thanks for the info!

I used to be afraid of the high dive. So no, I haven't really cracked into the world of cliff diving, not to say I never will. I just never liked the hitting the water part. I'm also a nose plugger, which would be a no go if I were to do a higher jump. The coolest place I've seen it done, however, was at the southernmost tip of Hawai'i (Southernmost point of the US, as well), And that was maybe 60 feet into some nice blue water. There was an Indiana Jones-esque ladder hooked to the cliff to get back up.
