My first TPR event, East Coast Bash! Night time ERT and marathon riding Dominator!

Tractors pushing dirt? Or poetry in motion? You decide!

My first "big" coaster was Silver Comet at Martin's Fantasy Island summer of 2000 or 2001. I was 8 or 9. Unfortunately the photos don't have a date stamp. Edit: I'm 20 at the time of this posting.

Everything is a cycle

I know the images and the POV doesn't do this ride justice. I know I'm going to be blown away when I see it in person!

Talon at Dorney Park. I enjoyed it alot. It's just too damn quiet!

I feel for the park owners, I really do. It sounds like both are looking to rebuild so that is good. Who knows, perhaps by 2014 or 2015 there will be something new.

^Do I spy a Redditor? This was just on /r/WTF Here is a Video for the Lazy

Tweets and Statements from some of the "Jersey Shore" Cast. It is refreshing to see that even the Jersey Shore cast has their priorities right. The boardwalks are probably the last thing the locals are worried about right now.

I have only heard good things about the City Museum, and a private buy out will make it even that more spectacular!

I'm surprised how well the Ferris Wheel held up. I wonder how many of these rides will end up for sale? Kinda like buying a "Katrina Car."

I vaguely remember Robb posting the POV of it months back... And the only reason I remember that video at all is because of Robb's, "my virginity just got eaten again" line. I just want to ask some of the people complaining, where you ever going to ride it anyway?

But I like trippy Techno music!

I am so glad I'm on the other side of NY right now.

I can't believe that thing exists! Let me guess, the stall was the best part of the ride! Still better theming then Six Flags.

Just so I can start thinking about travel (don't worry, not buying anything... just thinking) does the Midwest trip start or end in Cleveland? Edit: v Thanks!

I guess I have been a coaster enthusiast for about ten years, and I am still amazed how ride technology has developed in that short amount of time. I cannot wait until I get to ride this beauty!

Elissa, will you guys be doing the TPR trip phone in Q&A like last year? I think that worked out well.

For me, Wooden: Hurler Steel: Manhattan Express

Hmmm, not sure if that is a train or not. Either way, cannot wait for the unblurred photo.

Raptor at CP. Had a great ride on it too. It ran very very well that day.

The Casino waterpark combo seems to be pretty successful across the border. Fallsview Water Park appears to be doing pretty well, and it is built on top of the Parking Garage for the Casino I believe.

^ Allure is awesome! You will have a great time. If you happen to be Cruising to Cozumel I would recommend the Xel-Ha excursion. The price gets you admission to the "water park," but it is no typical water park. No slides, but cliff jumping, snorkeling, rope walks, and zip lines. An up charge swim with the dolphins and included Alcohol and Buffet! Have a great time.

I work at a University and I agree, go to the library. Usually a Librarian will help you step by step and find the resources you need because that is what they get paid to do, most students never take advantage of the library staff.

I have only ridden two floorless coasters, Dominatior and Hydra. Of those too I'd pick Dominator. Edit: Forgot about Griffin, so I have ridden three.
