You just answered your own question http://www.themeparkreview.com/photos/bakken/bakken.htm

Robb has an obsession with food John has an obsession with breaking rides Barry has an obsession with his camera

I think the best seats are in the back row on the outer edge. As for Python, it's an Arrow, not a Vekoma (not that there's a difference)

The best I've been on would have to be the Banana at Liseberg.

Painful: Corkscrew at Alton Towers - First rode it back in 1999 in the front and it wasn't too bad. Rode again on the UK tour and I was left with sore shoulders for a few days after that. That and Ninja at SFOG Fun: ERT on Grand National. If you have a big enough group to take over both trains, everyone pays more attention to the racing and hand-slapping than the ride itself.

He's still upset with them pulling out the Schwarzkopfs

If anyone is actually reading this, I'm nearly done with posting everything Next stop: Balder (and the Banana!) One of the staff members explains that the balance of pressure in the tanks was off and that it would take a while to fix. At least we got the credit though "Thank you for calling Intamin technical support. Your call may be monitored for quality assurance. To speak to someone about Monorails, press one now. To speak to someone about our roller coasters press two now..." "For assistance in buying one of our c This is why the ride is so great! We went back for ERT on Thunder The Intamin curse strikes again The "realistic Arrow Ride simulator" I remember riding one of these in a fast food restaurant in Auckland Is this an acceptable amount of water? Thunder Coaster is a lot of fun when it is wet Another shot of the park Does Utgang translate to "Danger: Vekoma Ride"? Although it wasn't too bad in the magic seat #100! Ow ow ow! What's with that sad and pathetic kid on the Frog Hopper? The ride starts with a GCI style first drop Another shot of Thunder Coaster Robb paying around $3 to fuel his Coke addition Be sure to leave your sticks and ECT in the station There is also a powered coaster for those who are sad and pathetic The park is built on a hillside with some good views We actually got Dan to ride this one Best ride ever! Thunder Coaster When they knew Robb was coming, they upped the price of the buffet to $30 There's some "hair time" on this. Not as much as Balder though Speed Monster...through the trees! I need to go there some day to get my Dog Fart credit Elissa loved the escalator ride that penetrated the Intamin ride Yay for another COUNTRY credit! Yay for another bridge credit We land in the middle of nowhere. As soon as we get through customs, we see the plane take off again. I guess we're stranded now. Exclusive Ryanair window seat POV! The seat backs on Ryanair reminded me of the seat backs on the Vekoma Junior Inverteds Can't think of a good caption for this. This is our plane OMG! It's the Blue Screen of Death (why don't they just switch to Linux?) It came to the point at which Nigel slowed down to 40mph so we could boot the non add-on people off the bus

Attractions we might see: The Evil Monkey in the Closet ride Quagmire's Theatre (nobody under 18 admitted) Expedition: World Domination Druken Clam restaurant

Do I smell a new Photoshop contest coming up? DUDE! Pound it!.......*burp*

I'm assuming that there's something in the station that mechanically locks the restraints on the cars (since they are usually unpowered)

Items you might find in such a bag: Pocket Lint A used TPR wristband A strand of Elissa's hair (but only for those who win the big contests) An expired ticket to Knott's Berry Farm A lifetime membership to the video store on the corner of Lincoln and Olympic An empty cigarette box found in the parking lot at Six Flags Over Georgia

Even SFOG has Disney Merchandise, just down from the Mr. Six merchandise. Erik Johnson was confused too. Note the Goliath merchandise in the background

Even Six Flags has free water fountains to use (the ones that work are the best). In the UK, since I'm too cheap to buy a drink, I'll usually ask for a "glass of tap water" I've noticed that a few of these mishaps have happened on rides that TPR visited on the UK tour (I have seen Camera of Doom in the vicinity of the Runaway Mine Train). Fortunately there haven't been many fatalities (aside from the ones at Disney)

Being an English class, you might want to fix a few typos, such as "Another key point id like to point out" and "I think even im alone I could probably hold a conversation with myself" If you don't fix those, your teacher might want Casey's number

Rides that I have some appreciation for: Balder - Need I say more? Every seat has insane airtime Grand National - If you have a large enough group to take over the ride, it's a lot of fun Kumba - While it is considered old for a steel coaster, it's still smoother than other rides half its age. Thunder Coaster - Proof that even Vekoma can make a good woodie Nemesis - Smooth ride, good theming Lisebergbanan (aka. the Banana Coaster). A capacity monster and it hugs the terrain well. Hopefully it can recover from its recent 'mishap' MIB - A good shooting dark ride with competing teams and spinning cars. Unlike other shooting dark rides, the targets are targets and not little colored lights. In addition, the "sad and pathetic" line cuts the wait significantly Peoplemover/TTA - A 'fun' and relaxing ride TOT at Disney MGM - Fun ride, especially the launched drops and the horizontal motion of the cars. S&S Screamin' Swing - I enjoy these rides, the longer the program the better. Other notable rides Matterhorn - First tubular steel ride The original Corkscrew at Knotts - Sure it's an Arrow, but it was the first modern inverting coaster and paved the way for the B&M and Intamin rides of today Jungle Cruise - We saw more animals on this than at Animal Kingdom. Many cast members do an excellent job at narrating the tour Shoot the Chutes - Wets both riders and spectators. Also good for trying to get Dan to ride (or tackling Ryan and holding him upside down in the splash)

That is amazing so far. How many sets are you going through to do this?

Anyone know if Elissa's got that McDee's credit? I was able to visit BPB on the UK tour, and was able to get all the credits, including Space Invader. Also, the park map said that the log flume was in its last season.

Thorpe Park I had visited Thorpe Park in the past, back in 1999. Back then, the park was a disappointment. All the rides kept breaking down, and the only true credit was X. I wonder what's on the menu now? Of course, being an Intamin ride, it's not without a fatality Zoom zoom zoom! Sorry, you can't ride yet. Some guy just took a picture and the ride went haywire So far: One stabbing, a broken Intamin Rocket, a minor B&M inverted breakdown, a day without power, a dead bird...have I missed anything? ERT on Nemesis and Stealth It's an Intamin ride. Anyone can fit on one, right? "What was that?" "Some naked guy with a hat on" "What did he do?" "He pounded me!" Back in 1999, Thorpe Park was known for its water rides. Tidal Wave was still under construction at the time Somebody looks like he was pounded The sign of excellence Another ride on Colossus, this time through the "sad and pathetic" line Since there were no donkeys, we took the train back to the park. (I unintentially caught Stealth on the top-hat while taking this shot) Here's one for Elissa We were unable to get our cow-tipping credit This is where McDonalds comes from. Got milk? The park skyline The farm has cows, sheep, and goats These are the poor dummies that have to ride the coasters every morning The park has a train ride to the "Thorpe Farm" The flume has a double dip drop Somebody had an accident on the flume ride You don't get very wet on this water ride This is the "Wildest ride in the wilderness". At least when Robb is on board. The flume was the same as it was seven years ago, only this time it didn't keep breaking down The Sky Swatter was another S&S flat ride Pay no attention to the people on the ride; the Carousel will be open later The signs really help to prevent people from climbing (or putting wet clothes) on the rock These people have the right idea Bad news: Well, there is no bad news! Good news: The buffet price has been reduced today Rush is an S&S Screaming Swing. They were only running one side, and the program was weak (at least compared to the ones at Wild Adventures), but we had our express passes. New for 2006: It's 9/11 - The Ride Being in the Navy, Chris is right at home Ha ha ha! It says "poop" More Intamin goodness. I wonder of people flying out from Heathrow can see an "X" on the roof of building in the background Kids are great for getting those hard to get credits, and getting to propose to each other too. She said no! (Great idea Chris!) Is this supposed to be some sort of "gay marriage"? I thought Chris was already married There is a lot of "hang time" in the heartline rolls Next credit was Colossus Vertical loop goodness through the trees! After Stealth, we hit Nemesis Inferno This staff member was holding up the queue for the first ride of the day This is what happens when you take your phone on the ride First new credit: Stealth. If you want to ride, you need to get a hands free kit for your cell phone, and don't drink and drive. Elissa warned us that this place would be just like a Six Flags park Where do we go to get on that ride? The last park of the UK portion of the trip

I think you may have started a new era of Photo TR's.

I believe that new versions of PHPBB have an option to allow the user to identify text in an image, and simply enter the text to confirm. It's designed such that bots have a difficult time reading the text.

Elissa also had her own show, which I shared with some of the peeps on the UK tour! I've posted some pictures of both Robb and Elissa in this thread. They even made it all the way to Soren in Germany I believe this was the scene in question "Stupid Knott's Berry Farm!"

There are few racing woodies that match the Grand National. When we had ERT, half the fun was the hand slapping (because the tracks are close together and there is no divider). I know that riders can slap on Kennywood's Racer, but I don't think there are others. Of course, being mobius woodies, they have to race. A mobuis racer would simply not work for any Six Flags because of this.

Nice easy one: Who has a fetish for vertical loops?

Found a key in my mailbox today. I went down to the parcel boxes and found TWO official TPR packages. Thanks Robb and Elissa. I'll be sending the check with my UK photos/video I've never had a guy like this grace my TV screen Who in their right mind would make a DVD 69 minutes long? A cure for my need for Dog Fart coasters, escalator rides, and more! The second package was a little harder to open. Fortunately I had my Balder hammer handy The first one contained a "discontinued" Donkey shirt!

Cannon Ball?
