Toboggans. Also, Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake. That thing looks like it's going to fall over any second.

Those were supposed to be two separate rants But hey, it's good that someone else agrees. I feel bad posting in here without a rant, so...why wont anyone think of the albino squirrels?!

Why is it that nobody can understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?! I think I must speak my own very special language.

F YOU!!!

^^^^I didn't mean not to say anything, of course you should! The going back and forth "shut up" "f you" thing is what I was referring to. It just seems pointless to argue like that with someone who obviously isn't going to listen to what you have to say. As soon as it turned into that I would've just left it to the CM and followed it up later like you're doing. That's all you can really do. Again, I'm sorry you guys had such a negative experience.

The line jumper situation really sucks and I can understand why you're frustrated about it, and maybe I'm just being passive here, but I really don't think you guys were right in getting into the "shut up" "f you" argument with the 13 year olds. You didn't really say whether they said anything directly to you guys or if it was just to the CM..but I think I would've went to someone higher up to deal with it rather than get into a yelling match infront of a bunch of kids, especially your own eight year old. That's not really an example I'd want to set. The girl definately wasn't right in swearing at you, and the CM should've done something about it, but there really are other ways to handle it. Anyway, I'm sorry you guys had to deal with that on your vacation and I do hope they get the line jumper situation under control.

Oh no! Fanny's Fudgery has been replaced

"I pledge to uphold the objects of the Albino Squirrel Preservation Society, to foster compassion and goodwill towards albino squirrels, and to dedicate myself to the protection of all squirrels, especially those that are albino." Who knew albino squirrels were such serious business? Hershey Park needs to start a chapter and have an 'albino squirrel camp out and feeding party' now that one has been spotted. SAVE THE ALBINO SQUIRRELS!

I loved London and I loved this TR [even though some of the pictures weren't working for me. Is it just me?]! So were you guys not allowed outside at all for the entire time you were at sea?! I would go stir crazy inside a boat for that long! It sucks that some of the rides were closed and that you couldn't get a fast pass at Alton, but it looks like you guys had an awesome time anyway. I wish I had seen the plague rat puppets while I was in London, those are hilarious!

The drop and the splash? Some people are easy to please The ones with bridges you can stand on to get completely soaked as the boat splashes down are kind of neat. Those bridges always seem to have a huge crowd on them. I used to love Timberwolf Falls and its accompanying splash bridge at Canada's Wonderland when I was younger. I think this is like the boomerang thing. A lot of enthusiasts hate them and think they're a waste of space, but they always seem to be a big draw at parks. If people like them, parks will get them. Plus, they don't really take up that much space.

^ Have you not seen Carnosaur?! Best dinosaur movies ever. Sorry Jurassic Park, you just can't beat dinosaurs played by people in rubber suits. I can't choose between the choices you gave, so I choose Meg since it's a little of both. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450459/ Prehistoric shark! Awesome.

I think Paul was trying to get one when we were there on Saturday, but they asked him to put his camera away. At least someone found it for you on youtube! It really doesn't do anything, but if they had the Niagara Falls themeing they were originally planning [and maybe a little lava or something to go in that 'volcano' they took 20 years to build] it'd probably be a little more interesting.

My cat was diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer last year. Because we caught it early we are able to treat her with a tiny pill twice a day and a round of chemo every three weeks [chemo is MUCH easier on cats than on humans, and it comes in easy pill form] and she's healthy and happy. Anyway, rant part..people are constantly telling me that I'm crazy for treating her because giving a cat a pill twice a day is OMFG WAY TOO MUCH WORK!! Keeping my cat happy, healthy, and ALIVE is too much work?! You would not believe how many people tell me they'd rather put their cats to sleep than give them a pill even once a day. I understand that not everyone loves their animals as much as others do, but why even have the animal if you aren't willing to take good care of them? It'd be different if that animal were in pain or were suffering, but looking at my cat, you would not believe she were sick at all [or almost 16 years old]. I am not crazy, you just suck!

Buffalo smelled like rancid hot dog water and popcorn. AHKlfsaljngalsmaslfhlsclgagla.gjnsa. Thanks to Tom, Paul and Nicole for making it a great weekend. We hope to see you again soon and maybe some more of you TPR peoples! Tom is befuddled by this American money. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for.. "I miss Derek!" I liek phonez~ HI DEREK! Paul really needs to work on his boob aim. Jer reppin' the TPR. Recognize! Tom...uhhhhh....well, we don't know what the hell Tom's reppin'. Where can you see lions? Only in Kenya! Come to Kenya we've got lions! The buffalo absorbed these childrens' souls. Paul shows off his pretty pony purse! I lost on the SUPER HAPPY FUN SLIDE and that makes me super happy sad slide. "Look sad! ... That's not sad, that's British!" When they realized we were headed for Silver Comet, the clouds came back! Jerks! But at least we got one awesome ride! Don't do crack. Hu hu hu! We met Micole, and suddenly the clouds disappeared. Jer bought me Monsters Inc Pez! OH BOY! Poor Tom had to settle for this chocolatey treat. That guy and his family found a way to ruin all of our Falls pictures. Thanks jackass! DUELING BOATS! Jer wanted to put that theory to the test using that baby as a guinea pig. Conclusion? One should obey the posted signs. Apparently it's dangerous to jump off the cliff into the frigid waters below.

shesaidboom, 307, Carnage, Shockwave and niiicolaaah go to places, and do things, then take pictures to document them!!! So day two consisted of a trip to Marineland, Martin's Fantasy Island, Niagara Falls and the Anchor Bar. But you already knew that, so on with it! Basically, Jer got two new credits, pushing him close to the 200 mark ["Yay!"], and everyone had a good time! On with pictures! Dolphins, not pigs. Except Tom's, his can be a pig. Next up, Niagara Falls, Martin's Fantasy Island, and the funniest picture you've ever seen! BEE BEE. "LOVE ME!" Poor whale just wants rubbies. GIVE HIM RUBBIES. "You're next!" Oh noes! They've got him cornered! Deer food wasn't enough to satisfy this hungry chap. He had other things in mind, like Paul's peener. Paul already made the Deerschwitz joke, so ummm..Deer Park? Even Sky Screamer isn't safe from the Leafs and Sens rivalry. Also, HI PAUL! SO MANY TREES! Dragon Mountain has a great location and makes use of the terrain quite well, unfortunately the lack of themeing makes it rather boring. The papier mache volcano leaves a lot to be desired. Somehow someone lost their shoe under the track. This kind gentleman had to risk his life to retrieve it. NO ROBIN HOOD! Sky Screamer - THROUGH THE TRACK! Jer thought Dragon Mountain was interesting, but only the first time. Mmmmm ice cream cones and Corn Pops! Part of a balanced bearkfast! Marineland is full of pervy, malnourished bears. Marineland's main attraction is the endless pathway of NOTHING. We were greeted by protestors upon arrival at Marineland. Some of them made use of Marineland's free parking, I guess!

The staff at North York General Hospital wear Crocs instead of shoes.

EW WHALES!! Your stroller has no eyes, haha! I love it. I showed my version of that picture to a few people today and they all thought we were sitting on pigs. Pigs are not grey and they have ears!! And what are pigs doing at MARINEland?! I guess the Corn Pop eating bears aren't so marine either. Jer and I will post our nearly identical pictures tomorrow, including the one of the deer eating your balls!

Silver Comet at Martin's Fantasy Island.

Thank you for posting this. It's good to see people spreading awareness like this, especially since bipolar disorder gets misrepresented a lot. I'm glad that you were finally able to figure out what was going on and get off the prescription that should've never been prescribed for you. I'm sure that helps a lot. I read this a while ago.. http://www.matthewgood.org/2007/04/hospital-music/ Some of it's a little depressing, but it's honest and maybe you'll be able to relate to some of it. The guy who wrote it was misdiagnosed with depression and recently found out he is bipolar, like in your case. It might be worth a read if you're interested. Good luck with your appeal meeting, I hope everything goes your way.

The one I took in the Anchor Bar that made Nicole cry!

Here's mine!!!! Jer and I were going to post all the Marineland, Martin's Fantasy Island and Anchor Bar pictures today, but there were like 200 to sort through! We'll get them up on Tuesday night. I really want to post that picture of you and Tom! Jer should have brought his camera to Wonderland so he could take pictures of Paul taking pictures of me taking pictures of Tom taking pictures of things, but we'd usually just end up taking the same pictures so he didn't bother. At least we have the Anchor Bar pictures! Me taking a picture of Nicole taking a picture of Tom taking a picture of Paul taking a picture of me.

Very creative idea! Great pictures too. Epcot looks gorgeous.

AWESOME!

shesaidboom and 307 take pictures of Non-German Tom taking pictures of Canada's Wonderland! Featuring Paul :o! Non-German Tom is fresh on his way of a three-week mid-west/northeast coaster trip, and his second stop on the tour was a weekend in Canada with Carnage, shesaidboom and 307... Now, we've already done a photo trip report of Canada's Wonderland, and really, there's only so much to take pictures of. But now, we've added some extra ZEST to your plain old PTR: it's a PTR from over the shoulder of a foreigner!!! "EXCITEMENT"! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Go nuts for donuts! Vortex...THROUGH THE SUPPORTS! Tom takes picture of guy holding sign. Ooooooooh! The Bat actually had decent loading times today, a rarity. Must be a "British" thing. the ultimate credit whore move: STEALING A KID. Tom takes a picture of Taxi Jam in preparation for... Silver Streak was the most difficult credit to get today. Our favourite picture of the day. Here's a REAL head chopper! I don't know. It was grad night, which is why there is all that crap in the background. Sledge Hammer EATS YOUR FACE. Psyclone and Sledge Hammer have perfected the art of the synchronized breakdown. Tom takes picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of Too much sideloop for one shot. I do not like this caption. Here's a picture of Tom's signature shot. FOUNTAINS. Tom does not count this as a credit. It must be a "British" thing. Hot Shockwave on Shockwave action! Tom takes a picture of the Fly. Why is Jean-Claude Van Damme playing Guille on Street Fighter? He's like the least American ever. This is the most airtime Tom got in the park. Tom - "Dragon Fire looks like John Deere!" Garbage can taking picture of Tom taking picture of Skyrider. The garbage can and Skyrider have a lot in common, hu hu hu. Here's a picture of Tom - TAKING A PICTURE OF SKYRIDER! :o Also, Paul and Jer filling out the background. Oooh Ahhhh. Here's Paul and here's Tom. Our captions are hilarious!!!

I've had an earring ripped out on a coaster, although it was because I smacked the side of my head on Jer and not because of a restraint. Either way, it was not fun! It makes sense that they would have warning signs, I've seen several people come off Top Gun at Canada's Wonderland with bloody ears. I've never actually seen anyone enforce the earring rule though.
