Can't wait to see City Museum! It was nice to be able to check out the arch, and TPR does it the right way. You go in, go up, and get out. Not much more to see after that! -

^I forgot how incredible hot it was! The nice escape from the heat was one of the best parts of the cave. Awesome pictures Divv, especially the food! -
Awesome update and captions as always! Bum Hummers!?!? What the hell were those? The Australian zoo looks so awesome, I just hope I can visit sometime in the next ten years

I can't believe I missed the supermarket takeover, but I guess its a good thing because I already had about three bags of snacks! Are you crying in the picture with the Doritos? I thought so That chocolate pudding at Lambert's was amazing! I never thought pudding could be that good. -
Great stuff! I love how many places have a licensing agreement with Disney How was the food at the parks?

Definitely going to pick it up! Still dying for Spongebob Squigglepants to be released! Only a few more days! I noticed that amazon has a Thor: God of Thunder 3DS version to purchase, but no release date. Any plans? -
Food and Fatties of Middle America!
jray21 replied to jray21's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thanks for all the comments! It's time for another update! Part One! Today we visited the incredible, Undercover Boss featured, Silver Dollar City! This sister park to Dollywood was amazing! They had absolutely incredible food, awesome rides, and even more incredible food! This was one of best US parks I have been to. The employees were extremely friendly, and the TPR events (ERT and tours) were absolutely amazing! There really is no better way to visit a park than with TPR! Silver Dollar City also has the best collection of double entendre signs I have ever seen, and Russel's answer to the question during lunch was the single greatest answer I have ever heard in my life! Anyway, on to the pictures! (Silver Dollar City was so amazing there will be two updates!) Time for my first ever visit to Silver Dollar City! Hmmmm, 1880, 88 mph, coincidence? Head to the rides first? Hell no, FOOD! Unfortunately, they weren't open yet Mmmm, getting it all ready! Just a small second breakfast! Delicious Cinnamon Roll, pecan pastry, lemon pastry, brownie and two cookies! So we have food, and now a Fatty!!!!! Holy crap, I HAVE A MOOB ;( My plot to get Dan in a diabetic coma and let the gAyCErs have their way with him is going according to plan. While waiting for "Fire in the Hole," the ride, not Dan's bathroom visit, we stumbled upon the Firemens Cemetery! John has adopted Barry M. Deeper as his official Pornstar Alias, complete with the tagline, "We will be the last to let you down!" Fire in the Hole was still getting set up so we decided to head over to Powder Keg! I was really looking forward to this ride and it absolutely delivered. I do not understand why more parks don't have this! It was incredible! The explosive launch building! This was the Ace train. They were too heavy and blew up the ride. Due to all the UFO abductions in the midwest, Fire In The Hole has to make sure that they specify that the flashing lights are strobe lights. Too many people would crap their pants and start crying before this sign was made. Too dark for pictures in the ride, so I give you the outside of the ride! They did have this cool dog though! Don't worry Bryan, he is well taken care of and just uses the cage to sleep Yeah, I'm sure the white trash americans have all used the tongs. I think I'll pass. Freshly shaved and peeled skin for you to take home! Nothing says American like pork fat that you take home and fry in FAT!!!! Hurry up and finish cooking, it looks delicious! Even veggies look amazing at this park! (Your welcome for the veggie porn Bryan) I understand the "Low Carb" means no potatoes, but do you really need to add a tortilla? Either way, it looks delicious! It really is there, just ask Becky Thatcher! Barry M. Deeper takes a stroll through beautiful Silver Dollar City! Please don't drink the water, but...... ...make sure you go down the tunnel and get soaked in our not safe for drinking Disney California Adventure colored water ride! This chef serves up a mean skillet! Oh Mylanta, it's going to be one of those days! Next up was Wildfire! This ended up being a lot better than I expected! Great ride! Now compare this flying through the trees ride to Scream at SFMM and tell me that theming really doesn't matter. Watch out for the trees! One side... ...and then the other! White shirts, check. Black shorts, che.....crap. Russ! Awesome picture of Chuck! TPR upside down! I'm sure he gets all the chicks with that shirt! Crap, now what am going to do with my Bunsen Burner? I'm definitely not going to waste a weeks wages of $1 for a locker! They took off the 'RS' at the end of the sign when they heard that TPR was visiting I swear, the bee yelled "Down with King Alvey and Long Live ACE" before it stung Kevin and tried to kill him. I guess this is part of the now defunct head chopper log ride. Just remember to not drink the water! I don't think that kid likes it! Barry M. Deeper shows the proper hand technique. Squeeze gently, don't pull! Catawampus' cousin? Study this picture, there is a pop quiz coming up next! Ok, GO! You have three minutes to label all the parts! It's a really fun ride, but it had long loading times and a very short cycle time. Awesome, they even gave him a lazy eye! TPR takeover of The Giant Swing! Weeeeeeee! Amy tries the Barry M. Deeper technique. That has gotten many people in trouble Up next was Thunderation, another awesome surprise, but it was a little rough. Amy and Dan may look like they are facing forward, but they are actually facing backwards! Bryan is still disturbed at having to find all the parts on the previous 'fatty' picture quiz. Dan waves goodby before the cars crashed together. More parks need to have this! Nice sign, but I have no clue what it was for. Time for some credit whoring on the Grand Exposition Coaster! Look at the intense layout! I grab another quick bite to eat before we head down the cave! Yes, they have an actual Cave you can explore in the middle of the park!!!! Stay tuned! -
Great report and pictures. These type of reports/parks are my favorite. I love seeing the out of the way places. Can't wait to see more!

Awesome report, video, and pictures! Looks like they made an incredible ride! Can't wait to see how those trains will do in the states. Congratulations to Gravity Group for an awesome coaster, and to TPR for awesome professional quality video....and Twister Twins! -
I thought that was just a winter setting? I seem to remember when I was a CP (a friend worked at Splash, but I could be and probably am wrong) that they would do that in the winter, and then crank it back up every summer. I hope they didn't completely get rid of it though, because I do like the Oh Crap moment like Robb mentioned.

That was absolutely amazing! I really thought that when they announced WOC this is the kind of thing they had in mind. They did an awesome job! That is definitely a show I would stay to watch. -
The Bryan and Adam Show Thread

What an awesome report, I'm so glad it's back! Can't wait for the next installment in two years! I wish Disneyland would bring back their flavored churros (not jelly doughnut type), but I guess I was the only one who liked them. -
Food and Fatties of Middle America!
jray21 replied to jray21's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
After an interesting past few weeks, it's time for another update! Today was a full day at Worlds of Fun, and then Lambert's!! We had some awesome ERT, and were found worthy enough to walk in the presence of Prowler! After another awesome day we headed out to the world famous Lambert's, home of the throwed rolls!!! It was so amazing, and the servings were enormous! Bryan, being a vegetarian, thought he'd be safe by getting a salad, but after he saw how many vegetables were killed to make his salad I wouldn't be surprised if he goes normal! Seriously though, that salad was the largest single serving of food stuffs I have ever seen. Anyway, on to the pictures! After an incredibly late night, and a Wafflehouse hangover, I was absolutely ehausted. Nothing that a Rooster Booster and a Donkey Kick can't fix! Now I'm wired for another long day of gaining another two pounds! These nasty creatures were out in full force. They were a lot louder then I've ever heard them before. I think I'll pass on trying that seat out. Ice Bat and Robb have some intimate time. We had ERT on Patriot! They heard TPR was there, so they put on a show! Cloudpoofing sounds like what Dan did the entire trip! Hello, may name is Joey and I'm a credit whore. I am so ashamed. TPDave is proud of his world famous credit whoring. KidTums really is the cutest kid! We all hang our heads in shame because of what we just did. Martin does his best Wacky Worm impression Crap, how did we miss this show!? "A Rosary a day keeps the demons away." Obviously not, since Dan and Dave are sitting right behind her Hey, lets try the sit in a naked kangaroos crotch ride! Train rides are the best things to do in the middle of the day when all the ride lines are long. What a terrible ride. Wow, just like the real one! I don't know why these shirts aren't selling I was so tempted to kick one of the piles. The best picture of the trip! They will throw eggs at you and laugh if you use the chicken exit. Robb is trying to catch one of those delicious cicada bugs! They definitely are related! Michael and Katherine are not having nearly as much fun as Robb and KidTums Take another picture and I'll show you how far up your A$$ that camera will fit. Lunch was all you could eat hot dogs and brisket! It was pretty good! And then I saw this shirt Through these pearly gates we get to meet Prowler! Divv was doing his GQ pose for all the ladys.......and gays. Run Divv Run! I wonder why this sign is here. This has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Miles has to check and make sure his heart is still beating because Prowler is that amazing. Amy touches the almighty Prowler. Nick gets to 'know' Prowler...in Bible terms. Having just experienced electricity for the first time last week, maybe Prowler was a little too much for him. It can even make you do the O face. Dan is thinking naughty thoughts No teeth, a Fatty, and a 'what the hell kind of shirt is that' all on one train! I think that little boy/girl (?) just had a stroke. Please don't crap my pants. Please don't crap my pants. Please don't crap my pants. Don't you wish everyone used Dial? After visiting and being one with Prowler, our lives are now complete. Dan and Bryan have an intense staring contest while Elissa thinks, how old are you two? I peed my pants and when into convulsions after taking this picture. Bryan is that good. Amy decided to use the meth addict strategy. Who needs seat belts when wedged blubber can hold you in even better! Artsy shot of the fat man and his camera For Girls......or John. C'mon Oliver, that's not the proper way to take a TPR picture. That's more like it! Gears and Grease for you real coaster nerds. Hello Travis and Jenn! I see TPR'ers! Even with a big guy in the front seat, the two people in the back were so huge that the boat stayed leaning way back the entire ride! My pilgrimage is now complete! Camera nerds! I wonder how many people have been murdered at this nice little rest stop? For all you ravers, they have E at this exit. Even better, they have Lambert's! Two thumbs up means don't use the bathroom for at least 30 minutes. But before dinner, we visit the cheese store! I hope these were made in China with real cats! Well Kristen, you said you wanted a Kitty, and this is a real kitty. Kill the cats! Yep, this definitely is the mid-west! This random mannequin head scared the crap out of me as I walked by the car. Bryan and Texas made the best purchase of the trip Tons of throwed rolls, molasses, and huge sodas! More throwed rolls, oh, sorry Dan, molasses, oh, sorry again Dan, and huge sodas! Little fried Okra! I was hoping they would be delicious, but they are still Okra, and still disgusting! This picture does not do the portion sizes justice. This is not a plate, it a frying pan! It was huge, and they would come by every few minutes and dump a ton of sides on your plate as well. Amy got the Chicken and Dumplings, and ate quite a bit of it. We caught Dan sneaking a roll with molasses like a meth addict. Even the chocolate pudding was amazing. Bill Cosby would have been proud. Phase One: The food is amazing and there is so much to eat! Phase Two: I can't stop eating these awesome potatoes, but I am pretty full. Phase Three: I am so full I am going to throw up, but I'm so close to finishing that I have to keep going. Thank you Lambert's for an incredible dinner. We arrive in very odd Branson for the night. No 'W'acancy due to the Roller Coaster Tour Company People Group Gathering Convention Meeting They had a bunch of tourist traps that I bet they spent a ton more money on decorating the outside than they did on the actual attraction. John Wayne, Elvis, a Tranny Marilyn Monroe, and a clown thats been punched in the face? Unfortunately for many TPR members, this was NOT a gay bar/show Nothing says Missouri like the Titanic! And nothing says the Titanic like wooden creepy ghost horses! -

What an awesome report! Amy doesn't talk too much (I know, huge surprise ) so it's nice to actually see everything! Incredible captions as well. So how was the world's tallest drop?

Well, obviously there won't be any food left if ACE is there first! Sounds like an awesome day! I wish I could join everyone. I can't wait to see all the videos, it looks like an incredible ride.
