Disney now emails you the end of your Spaceship Earth ride. I'll be uploading it to TPR TV soon. http://parklink.disney.go.com/parklink/dis/pi/globekioskvideo/2009-01-15/ba24fe614cb4bb6d Also, notice the title of the thread has changed. -
Here's some pictures I took today. Not all that interesting, but it's something. I did get a nice shot of inside the building though. I change the exposures and contrast a lot so if anyone would like full resolution unedited photos, just ask. And here's that nice shot. Can anyone see anything in this? Ceiling, etc. Here's some ground. I know how you folks love your ground. Catwalks? Catwalk. I can't remember if this wall is new or not.

Update! The Bryan and Adam Show is back! Here's a little video I put together. Make sure you watch it. [coastertube]http://themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=15[/coastertube] I am proud to announce The Bryan and Adam Show: The Game! You can see clips of it in the new video. Also, I am still taking demands. Don't know what a demand is? Well, you tell me to do something, and then I do it. Also: read the thread. Photo time. Some photos provided by Adam. And we split the wings. What a boring end to this TR. Thanks for reading! And I got cream broolay. Adam got a slushie. Then we went to Kona for some post-dinner dinner. So is this. This is too easy. "Take a picture of my shirt while I cup my breasts!" Adam takes his responsibility very seriously on Mission: Space. No, Adam. That's not Horizons. Then we went over to Japan for some foods. I got the Geisha platter. Adam got the Internment Camp Combo. Then you throw out your cell phone thing in here. They made me go and say that "danger is my cup of tea" to a poor cast member and they gave me a bag of tea. Oh also, Adam's doing something in this. Hey lookathat! SSE played into the plot of one of the missions. The bad guy was Scottish and wanted to hit the giant golf ball. Not making this up. TRAINS AROUND THE WORLD HAS GONE VERTICAL This is how you pose with something, right? Your Kimmunicator. For now on they will be referred to as the cell phone they give you. You go and get your Kimmunicator at one of these old fashioned wagons with touchscreens. After that debacle, it was time to go play with our friend Kim. Ewww Surprisingly enough, this was the end of the same sentence. After that we figured we'd take a picture of Adam mid-sentence. This was fun. They said they email you with the game, so The Bryan and Adam Show: The Game will be coming out soon! 2/3 of Bryan makes me 1/3 of sad. Bryan and Adam show in flight. Screw Kim Possible, this is awesome! Then you go to play your game. You can see me reaching to push him in this frame. Adam got way into it. Like a real game, there's dancing at the end. Here's a snippet of our running animation. The guy working this attraction was proud of us. Adam demonstrates how to do the obligatory "thumbs up while running in place" motion. Note: not an actual motion. Like having a mirror over your bed, you play a video game in this where you are the character in it. Hey look! New thing! I tried this but it couldn't answer my questions about this burning sensation I've been having recently. Then you get one of these things while the cast member still judges you. We had some extra time until we had to be there, so we went around Innoventions for a little. You sign up at these things while a cast member judges you silently. In honor of Guy we did the new Kim Possible thing. This one. -
I know it isn't a contest, but you win for best TR ever.

Construction update! No track work today, and the crew wasn't really present. This track isn't special. Thanks for reading! The flat spin. And this is the turnaround after that into... I think this is one of the sections of the wing dip. The drop after the mcbr. I went to go see the rest of the track, and there's only 12 pieces left! I hope that helps. I have no idea what these pictures show for magnetic vs regular brakes. I hope this helps anyone wondering about the brakes. Fap. They put on some insulation (I think) today. Here's a nice height comparison. I can't help but wonder how it's going to make it back to the station after an E stop. Really quiet today. Slightly different from yesterday's. You can see the wing dip taking shape. I finally found a good seat on the Sky Tower. This looks familiar...

Here's a short little update for today (12/4) Here's a closer look at the wing dip support. Thanks for reading, everybody. These supports make no sense to me. That tall one in the foreground is right before that really short one on the right that you can barely see. That's for the wing dip. It's like a station drive-by. This guy was sanding down the transitions. Mystery yellow tarps. See? They're doing lots of work on the station. You may not be able to see, but there's 2 sets of brakes on the mcbr, and it's clearly longer than a train judging by the size of the maintenance shed at the bottom. Anyone know why? It's going to be crawling through here. As you can see without me telling you, it's super low to the ground. They were still building the support for the track piece they put on. Now, I'm no engineer, but that doesn't seem smart to me. This is the end of the flat spin and the start of the last turn. This ride is called Manta Roller Coaster.

Hey guys, I wasn't planning on doing an update today, but I simply needed to. Adam and I went to Sea World to grab some construction pictures. Enjoy. Many pictures provided by Adam. This is the last known photo of Adam Roth alive. We'll miss you, bud. Thanks for reading. Oh my god. It's happening again. This is just too easy. Do you see the pure joy on his face? And so it begins. His idea? A cupcake. Now, I present to you: Adam v. Cupcake. Uh oh. That look means Adam has an idea. I wonder whose arm that is on the bottom right. Here's Adam sneaking into my headshot. I like this picture because it looks like I photoshopped the guitarist in. Adam broke rule #1 and 2 of living: never make eye contact with or take a picture of the homeless. Push! Push! -
I know how you boys like your construction: extra constructiony. Here's your update for 12/3. Check back tomorrow for another update! As always, don't hesitate to ask for full-res versions of my construction pictures. Thanks for reading. It's getting tough to fit the whole ride in frame now. This is that last turn into the brake run. Don't expect to see much more of this, it's just because the on ride photo is there. They're doing rock work at the bottom of the pretzel loop. This will be the equivalent of theKumba corkscrew shot. I hope this ride doesn't suck. That would suck if it sucks. This fella was painting the track on the end of the segments. TPR exclusive shot. They've been working on that station quite a bit since we last met. This will be right after the last flat spin. All our favorite concept art characters are up there. These are the new signs for Take Flight 2.

You have arrived at the Universal and Downtown Disney TR for 11/25. ALL of these photos were generously provided by Adam. Please direct all hate mail to him. I won't be able to fulfill and demands for a while, but I am still accepting them! 2 seconds after this photo was taken, Adam died of diabetic shock, and he wasn't diabetic. The end. I had to go to Goofy's Candy Co to get some stuff for family and friends, and Adam decided to make this monstrosity. The camera adds 10 pounds. And 3 feet. I can has force? Over at Pleasure Island, we put on huge fake smiles upon seeing the Jews represented. He told me to gently caress his legs. So I did. Uh, Mr. Banner, I think your fly is unzipped. I call this "Roth Crossing Into Mexico" Hi Cameron. No, that's not sweat, we went on Jurassic Park. WHAT ARE YOU DOING THE PRIZE SLOT?! Aaaaahahhahahaha Move over. Harry, there's a new boy in town, and his name is Dryer. I call this "Roth Crossing the Delaware" Stupid Mythos refusing to serve us because we're Jewish. Adam says it's because they closed at 4:00, but I know their tricks. The Lorax dons his gay apparel. I said that. If you're playing along at home, this is when you get annoyed with me. Adam got...intense with the tree. Seuss Landing is damn charming around Christmas. Over at the Hard Rock Cafe they had a really big guitar hero controller without any buttons. What gives? I just blue myself. Do you really need me to come up with a caption for this one? Adam ran into a TPR friend. I forgot his name. Internet, huh?! This is the part when Jack tried to give Adam a back rub. He wouldn't budge. Officer Woodpecker spots us. Run. Like. Hell. We went to go see T23D, but were stopped by this police blockade. I forgot that this place existed. Nice to see you again, old chap! Let's start this off with a bang and show construction of the future whopper bar thing. Yep. -
And here's my Cliffsnotes version of Adam's update. Dirt sure is fun. Thanks, folks. No clue what this is. Station (maybe) Drill, baby, drill! (Don't kill me) Gotta see where you're goin'. RRR will be coming through this. Looks like we found the stage framing in the most secretive place: right in front of us.

Construction update! Stupid auto focus... The left thing one is where the catwalk is. To me this looks like that's a catwalk near ground level. Is this a sign of some of Harry Potter being underground? See? They've covered up a lot of the cinder blocks already. Also, no scaffolding. Demolition has ended!

Hello, friends of TPR. How are you this evening? Have you checked the mail to see if your DVDs have come in the mail? Oh, you say you haven't ordered them yet. Interesting. You have me confused, because you're reading my review, and you know I'm going to have nothing but praise for the new TPR releases. You're still reading this, aren't you? Oh well. Theme Park Review Coaster Expedition Volume 11: Japan-A-Mania Two (TPRCEVXI:JAMII) My first TPR DVD was the first Japan-A-Mania. It was pure awesome. This is an improvement. Robb and Elissa have gotten crazy good at this. Notably, the editing has gotten significantly better. I'm not saying it was bad, it was just very sharp this time. If you guys enjoy TPR, and you wouldn't be reading this if you don't, you need these DVDs. It puts the energy of a TPR trip inside of your living room. All of the idiocy of TPR on 2 discs, and only $10! I'd like to also make a note of the 2nd disk--the ride footage. There's some crazy dark ride ridethroughs that I loved. They're absolute insanity. Theme Park Review Presents Roller Coasters in the Raw Volume 2 (TPRPRRCitRVII) Okay, I have to admit I was skeptical of this DVD set and I haven't seen the 1st one. I'm just not that into POVs and plain coaster footage. It's not my thing, I prefer the antics. But if you like POV footage and some super rare shots of some amazing coasters, this is your DVD. You can't get any better than this. It's like the TPR DVDs without all the R! So, if you only have enough money for 1 DVD set, go for Japan-A-Mania, but Coasters in the Raw is not one to be trifled with. Do yourself a favor, go for both.
