Stand-up coasters hurt my crotch, and I don't have boy parts so I can't imagine how much it hurts for the guys. I liked Mantis MUCH more than Skyrider [PCW] or Shockwave [PKD], but I'm still not sure if I like it or not. It's a different ride experience, which I guess can never be bad. The only time I ever really liked a stand-up was when I was finally tall enough to ride Skyrider at PCW [i kept measuring myself on the test seat every time I visited the park for about three years until I could finally ride]. I don't think it was so much that I enjoyed the actual ride, but that I was excited to finally be able to ride.

What board do you read first? Donkeys or Random, whichever I'm in the mood for at the time. How often do you visit? A few times a day. I'm jobless right now so I have no life and need things to amuse me, although I'd still visit at least once a day if I had a life. How many pages through each board do you read? Usually just the threads that have been replied to since I was on last. If I'm really bored I'll go back a while and read topics that were posted before I joined. Are there certain types of posts you read more than others? I like the photo TRs a lot, especially when they actually have photos. The retro ones are neat, that was an awesome idea. The photo contests are awesome too. Otherwise I'll pretty much read anything that interests me or grabs my attention. Do you do anything else besides reading the forum? I check the main page to see if anything has been added, watch the videos, I haven't gone through all the TRs you guys posted so I'll go through those sometimes. Tell us anything else you want about your TPR visits! I really like that you included a random board in your forums, I also like the atmosphere..it's a lot more laid back than a lot of other forums I've visited and there's a lot less arguing/opinion wars. People here are respectful, while still able to poke fun at other members, voice their own opinions, and have a good time. Basically, your website rules at life. Wow, I sound like such a suck up.

Thanks Everyone seems to think Lenore [the white-ish] one is cuter, but she's the bad one! Causes so much trouble and always steals Rory's toys. Sugar Gliders are awesome pets and their babies are way too cute, but apparently they can die of loneliness so if you only have one you have to keep it with you a lot. Too bad your partner doesn't like them. ^^ Lucy's so pretty. What kind of dog is she?

I was searching for videos of coasters while planning a trip to a bunch of parks, and ended up here. I didn't join the forums until more then half a year later though.

My crew.. Cornelius. He looks like a pissed off old man all the time. I took this right after I got him, which is why he's in the tiny cup. Playing with some mice and a squiggly thing. Snowie, my little old lady. Rory hanging out in their cage. Lenore playing with a wooden ball thing. My chinchillas, Lenore and Rory, taking a nap together.

Most painful - Son of Beast. Most fun - Millenium Force at night.

I need to remember this when/if I have kids.

I'm sure none of these parks are the worst, but in my experiences... PKI - nobody knows how to walk and they block all the walkways so nobody can get by. Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot..it's not that hard. PCW - especially in lines for rides smaller people can ride. The stupidity of some parents amazes me. The row you get into is the one infront of your line, when the ride is over you have to line up to ride again, the seat belts are there for a reason..put it on, when your kids act like morons STOP them. Also, an abundance of rude 12 year olds dressed in basically nothing who think they rule the world and you must cater to their every need. IOA - I only list this park because an old man pushed me in the line for Jurassic Park. Also, some guy freaked out when he saw my boyfriend's lip rings and told him it was wrong to have piercings in his face. But otherwise I have nothing, so I shouldn't be listing this park.

It sounds like a bird was riding on the train with you The video is definately not as bad as you're making it out to be, especially when you get the view of the park with all the lights.

Here's my incredibly small collection of coaster globes.. TTD, Volcano at PKD and MF. Please excuse the chinchilla dust on the desk, I need to clean.

Taken on Shivering Timbers at Michigan's Adventure where they don't put the name of the ride on your onride photo..or at least not on mine.

Wish I could've ridden Smurf Mountain, it sounds awesome PCW really has developed a lot over the years. I didn't realize it either until I looked at these pictures. It's too bad they don't really have much more room to expand since it's surrounded by houses and such on all sides now. :?

:shock: :shock: :shock: I thought the video was just...wow and then I got to the end with the cow milking the cow and I have no idea what to think. There are kids there..and their parents bring them there. Wow. I can't imagine seeing all this in person.

Dragon Fyre at PCW.

A few more pictures, these ones are from 1987. There's Thunder run in the background. The Fly is now where part of the Antique car track used to be. Since there weren't really any coasters in this TR, here's me riding the Tivoli coaster at Marineland a few years later. Scooby doo, my brother, some random kids, and Wild Beast in the background. Another shot of the cars.

I was leafing through some old photo albums a while ago and found a bunch of old pictures from PCW, which back then was only CW. Since we're posting retro trip reports, I figured I'd post these. The quality isn't great and the pictures are kind of small, but my scanner sucks at life so it's the best I could do. The pictures are of Hanna-Barbera Land - most of which is gone now, the kids area is now full of Nikelodeon themed rides - but you can see a few coasters in the background. I was only 7 months old when the 1984 pictures were taken, so I don't make an appearance until later in the TR. My family ditched me for the day and went to Canada's Wonderland. The swans are pretty much the same, except they're more colourful now. Snail themeing! I look pissed here because my brother ruined the picture by being in it. The Smurf ride! More boats that go around in a circle ride! These are cars and they go around a track...that's all I got. The carousel in Hanna-Barbera land has characters like Dino, Yogi Bear, Scooby-doo and some shark to sit on. Apparently I was very excited to ride Dino. 1986, time for my first trip to Wonderland and lots of kids with bowl haircuts! Here's my family infront of Wonder Mountain. I'm pretty sure these cage/rocketship/lock your kids up for a while so they can stop bugging you things are still there. My cousins on the airplanes, which are still there. If you look hard enough, you can see a tiny bit of Ghostercoaster in the background. Boulder Bash!..or something like that. This was my favorite ride when I was little, I was sad to see it go. The boats that go in a circle ride. More of Wild Beast in the background. My mom and my brother on the choo-choos. You can see part of Wild Beast in the background. Most of the rides in Hannah Barbara Land were Flintstoned themed, like these eggs that go up and down. My brother doesn't look too happy about being in a dino egg.

I'm terrified of these.. http://www.rcdb.com/ig1671.htm

http://rcdb.com/id195.htm I went on this several years ago while on a family vacation and completely forgot about it until a few weeks ago, I've been trying to find more pictures of it but nobody really seems to have heard of it.
