SeaWorld San Antonio Discussion Thread
bert425 replied to apollo210's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
it's like year round Mardi Gras coaster. (maybe SW just bought the paint in bulk for Apollo at BGW, and had leftovers?) -
great pics Boldy & bill. glad you had such a great time. in my opinion, InvadR is a night time ride. it's good during the day (and the views of Le Scoot and Alpengeist are fantastic). . . but when we rode it at night during the 2018 TPR USA trip? It's so dark you can't see the track in the tunnel. . it was freaking insane, and would gladly wait in a longish line if that's what it took for an evening ride. I LOVED it at night, and iven

Mega trip(v.1) photo trip report.
bert425 replied to thrillrider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
LOL.. glad to see I'm not the only one who takes pics in BGT bathrooms (tho I took pics of the mosaics in the toilets by Montu). that Cookie Monster shirt is awesome. . I totally would have picked that up! great pics, and congrats on the kiddo graduating to big-boy coasters - including 1st UpsideDown! Scorpion is a great one for the first time. Did you get to ride Falcon's Fury? I paused for a moment at the $25 parking. what??? That's nuts (and Six Flags price gouging level). . .I don't recall us paying for parking at all when we went to BGT a couple of years ago. Hmm. . wonder if it was included in our 4 day passes? (that also included a day at SWO). -
Parks people NEED to go to
bert425 replied to RoxasBraveheart's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Knoebel's Busch Gardens Williamsburg Cedar Point are must do's - as are these parks still on my bucket list: Dollywood King's Island (for the Beast) Six Flags Magic Mountain and very good, and well worth the trip: Busch Gardens Tampa Disney Parks (of course) Six Flags Fiesta Texas Six Flags Over Texas Six Flags Over Georgia King's Dominion Carrowinds -
thanks for that non-spoilery review, Robb. one thing I am wondering.. are there any "deaths that stick" coming out of this? or does it all wrap up in a nice bow? (not asking for specific spoil. . just wondering)

Mega trip(v.1) photo trip report.
bert425 replied to thrillrider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
agreed with you that the throwback shirts are amazing. nice pics.. . and looks like y'all had a very pleasant rental space for a week or so. I'm LIVING for this woman in the lower left tho. . . you can read her mind: WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU TAKING MY PICTURE???? LOL -
What is your next park?
bert425 replied to onewheeled999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
SFFT (again) this Sat -- with my Spouse! (he knows I need a day away from my laptop, since work has been *nuts*). hoping that even tho should be a gorgeous day, the park will be slow due to many of the target audience being at the movies to see "Avengers: Endgame" regardless, we'll get lunch and at least ride the carousel .. and see what's up with Joker, Hustler rehab, and ChopSix. -

My biggest regret from Philly is that we didn't get to do the prison tour there, as I love that kind of stuff. .and as you note, it's very interesting stuff. fair enough on your disclaimer, I misread your intention, and will edit my above comment. my apologies. -

bert425 replied to xVicesAndVirtues's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
that prison museum is super interesting, and added to our list for when we eventually make the trip to Dollywood. really nice pics, and great report -- even the mini-golf with minimal theming looks fun, that "train" is charming Edited to remove remainder of post, as I misinterpreted the intent of what I was responding to. -
Weight Management Support/Enouragement thread
bert425 replied to bert425's topic in Random, Random, Random
stayed on track, even with a large Passover meal on Friday night at the Seder (yes, including deserts). but I kept up with my daily walking, and weighed in today at 208. so down 10lbs total in 3 weeks. -
Taylor's Coaster (and Food) Adventures
bert425 replied to Taylor Finn's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Six Flags Fiesta Texas not theming "Pirates of the Deep Sea" to Slutty Morgan seems like SUCH a missed opportunity now. great report -
^ "Avatar" falls into category: "I don't give a crap about". . BUT. . . also wrapped filming (today, I believe): "Godzilla vs Kong" yep, filming wrapped a month before "Godzilla: King of Monsters" even opens. GvK has a great cast, and I'm sure it will take them a while to get the FX work done. . but wowed they already finished the filming.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
bert425 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
is the Fastlane+ good for all 3 days? if yes, jump on it immediately. that it includes meals and drinks is a great savings too, but if FL+ is for all 3 days? it's a steal, grab it. and as a Hotel Breaker's guest, you get early entry too. -
"it was meh" then you say you rode it 9 times. if it was "meh" then why ride it more than once, no matter how short the line is? go look at the Wallabys or Flamingos, or Hippos. . or you know.. ride something "better" (Kumba, Cheetah Hunt, Scorpion, Shiekra, Montu, Falcon's Fury, Stanley Falls, the skyride, etc. . ) and it's absolutely hysterical that you think bill is a "troll". . .
