Happy B-Day Joey! Remember, Bhudda says drinking to excess is okay!

Wow. All I can say is thank you once again to R&E. If it weren't for the UK trip, this was probably a park I would have never gone to on my own. If only the US weren't so litigious. The funhouse would be great at Kennywood or Knobels!

wrebbit, Don't worry about the roommate thing too much. Robb and Elissa do a great job of pairing people up. I didn't know my roommate for the UK trip until I met him on the first day and now I've got a great new friend. I'm bummed that he won't be on the Spain trip. Cameron, you better be on one of the trips in '08! If you're still worried about the roommate thing, I believe the single supplement was around $750 for the UK trip so you can figure something along those lines for Spain as well, maybe a little more for the Mid-west, since it's longer.

Ryan you are totally nuts! Keep it up. I agree that the video could have used a little tighter editing, but you can work on that next time. Keep playing, keep experimenting to see what works and what doesn't. Maybe by the time the Spain trip comes around we'll see some park videos "Ryan" style!

I really have to make it out to IB sometime soon. I think that and the Dells are the top domestic parks I want to go to, that I have not had the pleasure of visiting. Hopefully next year. Hey Cameron, are you up for ditching work for a couple of days next summer?

The layout itself is boring. But the worst part is that the restraints keep ratcheting down on you so by the time you're halfway through the ride, you may not be able to breathe. I'd much rather go ride the awful pirates ride there. There is plenty of comedic value in bad dark rides!

Yeah, ignore the SPAM, Post more Donkey Porn! (Just not the donkey show from Clerks 2 okay?)

Good god Ryan, what the hell have you started?!! Alright, one more time: Pound it!

Looks like me and the wife will be able to make it! I can't wait to re-live those "Casey, tackle Ryan" moments, now with 100% more water! Dude, you are so getting pounded. See you all there!

It was 112 as I was pulling up to my driveway in Corona, CA tonight!

My Dear Miss Louise, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Now where do I sign up for the spanking part?

For me? "Break Stuff" - Limp Bizkit or "Sabatage" - Beastie Boys

Oh no, my evil plan is backfiring! I was planning on riding and then breaking every coaster on the planet so that only my coaster count goes up. But it seems that other members of the UK trip have now taken on the camera curse! And what's worse is that rides I haven't even been on are breaking! Must re-think plan... I know, if I only had a some wire rope, a stick of used chewing gum and an iguana...

Wow, I rate my own button?! I feel...honored? Now, what can I break next?

Dude, relax, you're repeating yourself. It's okay, just take a deep breath and welcome to TPR fandom weirdness. PS. Consider it pounded.

I have to say that I too was really impressed with the Pizza Hut pizza at Thorpe. Even if their drinks fountain wasn't working that day!

Well now that kind of depends on which people, huh?

The power of the CAMERA grows.

OMG it was the funniest thing I think I saw the whole trip! If the cave had been any lower, Lou would have jumped right into the ceiling! Image a really bad, old, worn Halloween mask glued to a stick that just pops up (slowly) next to the first row of the boat. Before I can think WTF? Lou looks over, screams and jumps about four feet in the air. Classic.

See, the thing was, that they gave us these meal vouchers. But what they didn't tell us was that they were good in only one place in the park and that was at the Munch hole back at the entrance. We were at the back of the park. We were hungry.

^^ Lou, every ride you're on is a HUMDINGER! Don't ask, I have no idea what that means.

Lou, you can have my job. It's quite boring at the moment and you can always run downstairs and play a slot machine or two!

See, I told you I had a time delay on my camera! Hmmm, now if I can just figure out why the bus with all the add-on people on it didn't explode in a fiery ball of flamey goodness.

Well as we all make our way home and back to reality, I just want to say what an incredible job Robb and Elissa did on this trip. Everyone just had an amazing time from the moment we arrived until we HAD to leave. I think they both deserve a well earned rest from dealing with 50+ nutjobs for the last couple of weeks. I know I'm tired and I wasn't even dealing with any of the aggravating stuff on the planning side! Once again, GREAT JOB guys and I can't wait for the next one! For everyone looking for update and trip reports; just wait. Over the next couple of weeks I'm sure there will not just be updates from R&E, but Photo TR from most of us on the trip so hopefully we will be able to satisfy everyone.
