Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Vtafro replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
At this point, however at another point in time they may do some digging.(here) -
Both parks are outstanding. Silver dollar city, for now(it gets the unfair advantage of being on the texas/midwest tour). However, another trip to pigeon forge and i could see it switching(a water park, water rides that were closed, a couple new credits, the craziness of pigeon forge(boat ride, zorbs etc)). Although unless a rmc shows up at dollywood(thunderhead is amazing but no outlaw run), i think SDC wins.

Cedar point for coasters, but WDW has theming, awesome food, and is just an immersive experience. The water parks at disney also are worlds ahead of CP. My last trip to cp was actually relaxing since only gatekeeper was new. So disney, but CP is definitely a fantastic amusement park. Also disney needs more than 1 day where as CP can be completed in 1 day.

Why is this still in existence and speed is in pieces? -
How do you watch your movies?
Vtafro replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
How many DVDs or Blu-Rays do you purchase each year? 5-7 How many digital downloads do you purchase each year? 1-3? How do you purchase digital downloads? (iTunes, Stream, etc) tpr... Do you download directly from iTunes to your device, or iTunes to your computer, and then transfer to your device? Depends Is a 1.5gb - 2 gb file "too big" for you to download to your device? No Which reminds me I need to use the tpr store credit... I see blu-rays in my future. -

That looked fun. Going into coaster withdrawals, with the season ending; a san francisco trip thought was cancelled due to CGA's last weekend being in october. Oh well. -

60, I agree it's just a list; it contains my least favorite coaster. -
Knoebels Discussion Thread
Vtafro replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If it does indeed open this weekend, I'll have to see about making a special trip to check it out next weekend since I have off (would rather be at BGW and KD instead of ACEr Fest this year). I was starting to wonder if anyone has heard of it possibly opening this weekend. Hoping for the best! Will also be attending next weekend, hopefully not as crowded as PPP, not sure saturday or sunday however though. -
Was hoping to be lucky enough to grab some on ride pictures, but alas i wasn't on any of the trains that you caught, since i too was there opening day. Great PTR, never gets old remembering/looking at knoebels.

Works, anyone know why the keyboard isn't native?(looks like iOS 6 and previous, not ios7; am using iOS 7.0.2) Feel like I would use this if in an area where I don't have good service, or for use when traveling abroad and having a limit on data usage, otherwise I prefer the full site at least for now. Thanks for the hard work

Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread
Vtafro replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Went to kennywood for the first time saturday, had a great time, 7PM-1AM actually was a nice time frame for a haunt event. The lines weren't bad(with the clear exception being haunt attractions) but their VIP coaster tour(fast pass) for only 10$ was really nice and allowed for a more leisurely paced time. Got to ride my first bayern curve, and kangaroo flat. Will want to return to try out the rapids and flume plus the missed kiddie credit if possible. Really was impressed by Phantom's Revenge, guess i wasn't expecting much from an arrow/morgan frankenstein but very awesome. Also Jack Rabbit's Oh $h!t moment was unexpected, backrow ride was excellent, not cyclops airtime but wasn't expecting anything like that. Great park, great rides, ride operators could use a mathematics class though. Also not sure if it's been posted or not GIANT EAGLE is selling $27 dollar tickets for this event, plus you don't have to wait in line at the park open since nothing was open until 7:00:00. Great times, will be back. -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
Vtafro replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember why I don't ready comments on facebook now. I can't believe someone would go out of their way three times to put down a park. I actually enjoyed this park when we stopped there on the midwest trip and don't really agree with her at all. -

Photo TR: Marcel's first TPR adventure and MORE!
Vtafro replied to FreeFaller's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Marcel keep going with this tr, bringing back so many awesome memories. Also why can't every park be silver dollar city? -
That's interesting, my ride on GateKeeper was much smoother than my ride on X Flight. I guess may have been due to the outer seat ride on X-flight and an inner seat ride on GateKeeper. Although I wasn't the only one who thought this. 1. GateKeeper 2. WIld Eagle(I enjoyed it, I understand this could be seen as less thrilling) 3. X Flight
