Eric & Kevin Experience The Disney Dream
jray21 replied to live2tell75's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Of course it was! Awesome report and pictures! I had a lot of fun at Atlantis, but the day was too short so we missed a bunch of stuff. Can't wait to see the Castaway Cay day! -
Awesome stuff! Glad to see the updates. Can't wait to see more! One of these days I will have to join you. Maybe since we're so short they will only charge us one ticket!

^Amazon had a deal where you get $35 in coupons on 3DS games, and a free accessory (mine was about $10), so it made it more reasonable. It really is a fun system, and I really like the 3D effect. I can't wait to try our Robb's new Sponge Bob game for it!

A Random Icky Question
jray21 replied to Solid Gold's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
After seeing that picture, I am now a night showerererer. If they were Prowler trains we would know that they are burn marks from the sinners who are sent straight to hell, but as they are not Prowler trains, I also say Hymens. -
Awesome looking event, especially the personalized drawings! Finally, a game for the 3DS that I'm actually looking forward to! All the other releases so far have been pretty bad, so I can't wait to get it! Can't wait! (Yes Amy and I are losers and each got one, but it's are so much better than I thought it would be)

Awesome report! I love the captions! Can't wait to see more.

Food and Fatties of Middle America!

Sorry, Kristen! I'll make sure to bring another stuffed animal for her next time I visit Hmmm, a TPR Santa Claw perhaps? The drop is a lot better than it looks. ERT that night really was a ton of fun, but exhausting. I will definitely have to get the pecan waffle next time! -

Food and Fatties of Middle America!

Time for another update! Today was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for any coaster enthusiast, a pilgrimage to the Almighty, Wonderful, Amazing, Perfect, Unbeatable, Extreme, Holy, PROWLER!!!!! Our pilgrimage first took us through Adventureland, and we had an awesome time there. It was very hot, but suffering is what part of a pilgrimage is all about! Goodbye Boondocks Bate's Motel! The location of the one of the greatest events in TPR history! It really was called Boondocks! This majestic flower pattern is 'A' for Adventureland! For some reason, Dan and John always went to the bathroom together.... with smiles on their faces. Johnny Knoxville greeted us as we entered. This is the tree that almost got me into Dave's greatest pictures of 2010! I was looking at my phone or camera and was heading straight for the tree. My wife, thankfully (for me, not for Dave), warned me right before I was about to hit it. Dave was so bummed and had his camera all ready and everything! I have to admit, it would have been an awesome picture. TPR tests out the Chicken Shack! The line for The Underground is TPR approved. Too bad The Underground was too dark for pictures! The show selection was incredible! By far the best show selections I have ever seen ! CrunchiCreme. Interesting name, but how can it be 'when available?' Are these items seasonal up North? I guess Jack is famous here. Looks like the garden frames need a little more 'garden.' Dan gets fingered before riding the Tornado. They are trying to go for the 'classic' look. As in Chernobyl theme park classic look. Nice layout and location. Of course, to some people this isn't that much better than a parking lot ;| I think this is where DCA got their idea for the color of their water. Ace must have been here. This one is for Chuck! Outlaw was a fun ride. Dave is still annoyed he wasn't able to get the picture of me bashing my head on the tree branch. The water park was small, but pretty modern and nice. Weeeeee! Twisty! Saw Mill Splash was very short, but on this hot of a day it was worth the wait. Although, we never did figure out if the urine smell was the water, or Bryan. I think their faces sum up the ride. Martin is happy because he got wet, and that he can now add another patch to his jacket! And that folks, is how it's done right. Pork Tenderloin? Hmm, I wonder what it is. Too bad, I was thinking it would've been more of a BBQ style sandwich, not a chicken fried pork thing on a bun. Wasn't bad though, just thought it would have been different. Can you guess which one of these things is not the like others? They totally need someone twitching on the end of the rope, and I have no clue what the boot is doing on top. Dan doesn't smile when he's on a ride, but he does if there are little boys around!? Hmmm.... This is one of Amy's favorite rides. He loves his job. Amy does her Bride of Frankenstein impression. Dan eats his necklace while Jake wonders who the creepy man taking his picture while hiding in the bushes is. Heading to the Clubhouse for some VIP treatment! Time for lunch and some delicious Coke! This is probably the most 'greens' I had the whole trip. Instead of throwing up on the rides after lunch, we decided to play some games! KidTums wins a Tiger! It was really hot, so we decided to hit the water park. You get some awesome air on the red white and blue slide. So I have to be exactly 48"? And what about the green tubes? I guess Iowa has a big foreign population. You can't really tell in this picture, but this was the largest single tube I have ever seen. It was almost double the size everyone else's tube. This lady wasn't 'fat,' but definitely not as small as she looks in the picture. We had a nice time at the water park! Time to head back into the park. If I only had a pole and a fryer! Are we going the wrong way? The ferris wheel was nice and relaxing, and gave us some nice views of the park. Ok, so some views were also sad. This was the location of the big fire they recently had. A 'mini' 1 row Top Spin. Nice view of the park. Michael and Colin (and the rest of the GP) do not seem too impressed with Falling Star. Luckily the wheels stayed on for this Space Shot, unlike our adventure in Alabama! I hope that is only dirt on the cable, and not fraying. I totally should have bought this for Jewy. We had a great day at Adventureland, but now it was time to meet some of KidTums' new friends on our way to ERT at Worlds of Fun! Kidtums decided to take some self portraits. We have about 50 on our camera We all just about lost it seeing this guy as we walked in. Holy Crap, Elissa's Dad is on the ads! We've made it to the Holy Land! Robb blesses each one of us so we don't burn in the presence of PROWLER. Joey, did you see her? Did I see wh.....Oh, wow. Holy F, there's another one coming! She could totally kill me if she wanted to. That was a LADY!?!? Dan is surrounded by bubbles and young children. He has never been so happy in his entire life. Time for the Boomerang. Gotta get the credit . What am I doing! Time for a quick ride on Mamba! Yay, we're one ride closer to Prowler! Spinning Dragons was.....Spinning. There is no way this has been walked on in years. The walkway was so warped and bent. We are all waiting to be allowed into the presence of..... PROWLER!!!!! THE SINGLE GREATEST ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT EVER!!!!!! Each person reacts to their first ride on Prowler in their own way. John was blessed with the gift of light. The Flying Dutchman actually flew. I was crying too much to actually capture the miracle. It's so beautiful. Words cannot describe it. Prowler was like forbidden sugar to Dan. All ready for their ride on the greatest coaster........EVER!!! Ashley is now officially a man. PROWLER is so amazing, it undid Elissa's pants! After such a blessed occasion (ok, so Prowler was good, but not nearly as incredible as people made it out to be), we were all too awake to go to bed and decided to have a TPR takeover at Waffle House! John likes it Topped and Country. Amy likes it Covered and Chunked. I got a small plate Chunked and Country, toast, and a FIesta Omelet.... and of course, a Waffle!!!! It was delicious! -
PRINCE DESMOND'S BIG DIPPER COASTERS
jray21 replied to PRINCE DESMOND's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have a heart, and did my part. I helped save the Big Dipper Coasters! Before I was depressed, life was horrible, and all I could think about was Gravy. Even my cups were ruining my table, and ruining my life. I never rode the Big Dipper, and was extremely happy someone was going to save the single greatest ride ever in the history of mankind. I had no money, so I spent countless seconds thinking about it being saved, and my life seemed to have a purpose besides calculus class! But then everything went terribly wrong, and it looked like all was lost. But Daisy cheered me up and told me that the nice man in Nigeria who always tells me I won the lottery turned out to be the real deal! Too bad I didn't respond to his emails earlier or I may have been as rich as him. Anyway, he worked tirelessly to save the coaster, and he had a much better plan and website with dancing Mujabubukins! When he posted that he had saved the coaster I knew I had to help! Unfortunately, it was not the full coaster. However, I like to think that the cork in the coaster was a part of the original wood, and the ink is part of the original paint. If I think about it hard enough, I'm sure it will come true. Just ask Kat! This one of a kind TPR envelope just arrived. I wonder what it could be? It's too small for a Coaster Expedition, and also too small for a Bag of Crap. It says take a picture of the label, but I have no clue why. Must be a Nigerian thing. Praise Mujabubukins it's them! Me and Kat saved the BIg Dipper Coaster...s What beautiful craftsmanship, just like the original ride! The Big Dipper lives on, and saves my table! My life now has meaning again! All praise be to Prince Desmond and Mujabubukins! -

Wow, that's incredible! Great job. I have also liked it, but you should edit your first post with the contest link so more people see it! Good luck! -
TPR's Official Australia Trip Update Thread!
jray21 replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
They probably didn't as I wasn't there to buy out the bakeries -
What is your deal?! You always post the most random and pointless posts here. You keep throwing out the same ideas all the time and we understand what you want and what you don't want. Oh, and it's called FireFall, not FireWall. It really didn't bother me, and I totally agree that they need a coaster, not another flat spinning ride.

jray21 replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^^That's not a fact, that's an opinion. Just because they don't have the biggest and best rides in no way means they are not 'decent.' And i'm sorry, but if at even one person disagree's with you, and I bet everyone on the trip would, then your opinion is wrong when compared to anyone else's. That's why it's called an opinion. -

I could only dream of a place that has Joey's and StingRAY's! Awesome report. That zoo looks amazing, especially the Kangaroo exhibit! It totally looks like what you would see from behind a fence in an American Zoo. I really hope there is video of someone getting kicked in the nuts by a kangaroo, but if there was, I'm sure it would have already been posted. One other thing, was the Elephant's name Bimbo!? -

Those TPR cowboy pictures are hilarious! I bet Jake shed a tear seeing all of you in cowboy hats I also am a lover of flowriders! It's so nice not having to wear a wetsuit, paddle out to the waves, paddle like mad to catch the wave, nasty sea water, creatures, etc. Awesome report! -

ERT on Big Thunder would have been awesome! Seeing people glaring at you while doing ERT is the best! Steel Eel on the 2009 Texas trip was like that for about an hour! There were only 4 of us riding it for about an hour while the line got really long and they looked like they wanted to kill us! I definitely witnessed it, and it does make sense. -
