Any picture with food and Ice Bat is automatically one of the best of the year!

Started Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks (then I'm all caught up for Skyward Sword), and Mario Kart 7. It's annoying that the data for Mario Kart 7 is only saved for one person. With my wife and I sharing the game, it screws things ups. I also need to get off my butt and sell my Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword LE with the gold wiimote! It's going for about $120 on ebay!

Thanks! And you are the first entry, which means, you are winning so far!!!! A lot of people also forgot to wear their teeth that day

FINALLY, THE LAST DAY OF THE TRIP!!!!! After taking way too much time off, it's time to finish this trip report! Our final day of the trip was Valleyfair in Shakopee, MN! It also turned into DOMO day! You can read more about DOMO day here, but remember to visit this report when you are finished! Anyway, thanks again Robb and Elissa for an INCREDIBLE trip! We have a ton of fun, and met a lot of awesome new people! TPR is truly the best way to do a vacation! Thanks for following along on our trip! On to the pictures! By the way, THE CAPTION CONTEST TO WIN A COOL PRIZE IS IN THIS UPDATE!!!! Look for it in the pictures below! Welcome to Valleyfair! I wish more parks would do this. It saves so much time, and lets the ride ops not have to be the height police Behind the scenes of a group picture Yeah for the TPR sign! Sorry Joey, hand them all over. Wild Thing greets you as you walk in That’s a pretty big looking lift hill This could’ve had amazing airtime if it wasn’t so slow! Still a fun ride Chuck is ready for the first ride of the day! Wild Thing ERT is always a good thing! Yeah, you’re one Bad-A Number One Mofo on that coaster Steven’s hair fits perfectly with the Wild Thing theme First stop after ERT? FOOD! These were cooked perfectly! As long as it clicks, you can ride! Watch out Amy, it’s trying to eat you! Is this a food, or something obscene?! We must have had six orders of these this day. When they are fresh, AMAZING, when they aren’t, TERRIBLE! Excalibur causes you to go through all the stages of accepting death! Xtreme Swing was a lot of fun, but too short. Weeeeeeeeeee The guy in the blue shirt just crapped his pants Robb wins a DOMO! Not to be outdone, Jake and his intimidating posse win one as well Time for a snack. This time a corndog that tastes like it was heated in a microwave Time for Steel Venom! The ride would be so much better if it actually went into that cloud of death! I love the faces people make! Jake is being an irresponsible father and almost lets Domo fall We had an awesome Taco/Burrito Bar for lunch! Dave is so excited for the Bathroom ERT he is going to be having tonight! I grabbed some more Funnel Cake Fries as a pre-lunch snack A special guest appearance by the now retired Colonel Ohoompapa! The Yellow Jackets were included FREE with our drinks! Amy is one of the few TPR members responsible enough to babysit Domo We each got one of these awesome magnets as a gift from Valleyfair! Thanks! Out with the old, in with the new This is going to be an Awesome Show...I mean, accident waiting to happen! There are microwaves, and then there are microwaves. Domo posing for a picture This is what Valleyfair thinks of the Universal/DreamWorks partnership. If you were ever wondering how they wash and clean the wheel bearings, well, now you know! Power Tower is a standard S & S Tower And….drop It’s better when you can’t see anything because of your hair Two classics. Yes, Domo is already a classic. Renegade was an amazing ride! Two tools in a field We had an awesome walk back tour Neil was a little creeped out by an adult (questionable) male walking around with a stuffed toy. No clue what the dude in the pink shirt is doing, but the one in front forgot to protect his ‘family’ Renegade definitely was the surprise coaster of the trip for me. Fun drop! The kid is like, “hell yeah, but since I'm riding alone I don't want to draw attention to myself." I think someone just had a stroke More fun faces Renegade zooms behind Amy I agree! Brian is a.......Great Guy! No Robb, don’t eat it!!! Quick, show us your best "What do dumb Americans look like" face! Is the lady in blue sitting on a seat divider? Chicken Nuggets, microwave quality, Cinnamon Roll, delicious! The family raft ride went through some really nice areas Olivier is too exhausted to move anymore. He is still there to this day. :'( One of the elusive credits of the trip Many tried, but all failed. TP Dave will get it anyway he can! Corkscrew was rough, but there are a lot worse! They seemed to enjoy it. Now that’s safe! Good luck you two! Robb and Hanno are thinking, “Why the hell did we do that again?” I see some TPR members in line for a credit! Corkscrew’s Corkscrew Nice people shots. Corkscrew is in a really nice area ***Ok, here is the caption contest! Best caption for this picture of a couple of no teeth mid-westerners (as decided by me) wins a special prize!*** Here is the prize! This was called a “Cassette Tape.” It was used many, many, many years ago to play music! I’m sure they are going for a ton of money of the Antique Roadshow, and it is signed by Leslie Hall and other Famous TPR members!!! I mean, this is Priceless!!!!! Heeeeyyyyyyyy! They were stuck in the shrub maze for hours How easily we TPR members are amused. Domo decides to be a farmer Pizza on a Stick = Circular Hot Pocket with a cold center on a stick Chuck always knows how to get the girls. Video to follow! Twisty!!! More fun faces DO NOT TOUCH OUR DOMOS!!!!!! Whoooosh! Dan is so skilled that he can even keep a perfect pose on the launch Next up is our farewell dinner; so naturally, it’s time for a milkshake! It was delicious! Dan was feeling a little anti-social at dinner. Buffalo Wild Wings is always amazing! TP Dave and Michael attempted the Atomic challenge. TP Dave was crying for quite a while! Why So Serious? Swings at night are always fun! And now it’s time for our final ERT of the trip, RENEGADE! It was running so amazing that night. Seriously one of the best ERT sessions ever! And then we came home to this! What the hell were our cats doing while we were gone? Did Angus McNasty stop by while Chuck was away?

That out and back that looks and feels like it's 30 miles long is terrible! Congrats on finishing it! I definitely have to go back for the marathon soon. I need more Goofy medals!

Everything looked amazing! Thanks for making my day!

QFT! Hollywood Tour was definitely one of the best parts of the Europe trip!

What an amazing thread! Daily updates of Ice Bat! It's only day six, and already there are even some amazing food pictures! Can't wait to start every day with Ice Bat.

Awesome news! So excited to go. Amy and I are getting our tickets today!

Yeah, so I am a nerd too - 3DS Code - 0688-5275-4791

That Chicken Waffle Sandwich looks amazing! Thanks for the update, looks great!

Awesome updates. I agree, this is the best project for 2012! Can't wait to some of the final results.

I got mine, and it was.....AMAZING!!!! Seriously the best present I have ever gotten! Thanks so much! PS - (I sent my gift out on time, I hope my secret santa got it in time). Brand name batteries! A FLYING SHARK!!!!!!! Once I get some helium, I will definitely post a video! Nice traditional card...... Oh this is so TPR! I really want to know how this card was made because it doesn't look computer printed at all! Thanks again Secret Santa!

^Awesome! BTW, how do you upload directly from the 3DS to TPR? I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I'm on the final level. I forgot how awesome this game was!

So excited for this! It seriously is the highlight of the year for us. The event is absolutely amazing, and we have never been disapointed. Still have a few airline miles available so no cost for a flight . Car rental should be pretty cheap, and I am really looking forward to a possible hotel takeover! Can't wait!

I got my package yesterday, and we sent both of our out. Buying good gifts was a lot tougher than I thought it would be!

Can't wait for the area to open!

Great pictures. That was such a fun trip. I could really go for some White Castle right now!

Got mine. Sending it out tomorrow!

Amy and I are in, sending the PM now! Sounds like a lot of fun. How much do you think a tin of PROWLER mints would be worth? At least $100 right?

Got in line again and saw these people talking about TPR and Robb catching the person!

That was awesome! Thanks for the pictures and video. Definitely one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. I want to win a person too. I have a lot of work around the house that needs to be done!

Right next to AngryGumball! Only 13 more hours left

I'll take one of your hands if they are too much of a burden! The bags of IAAPA crap are amazing!

Awesome report! I'm about to finish with work and am dying for food (I know, surprise), and the cupcake looked amazing! It also reminded me of the Cupcake Cupboard
