Cyclop's insane section, and Blue Fall.

I just got to ask Santa a question! I asked him if the TPR prizes were in yet... Maybe Tomorrow!

^I see tons of places for Invertigo . Thanks for all the updates. I miss the Ultra Twister at Korakuen (La Qua). I remember going on that as a kid and it scared the crap out of me!

Well, I better get my pick up truck ready for Top Gun.

Amy and I failed again, but we should get our prizes from earlier next week! We also met HauntFreak in line and he said he would be joining TPR so he better be on here soon!

It was an incredible trip! Andrew, Alfredo, Amy and I headed to Paris after the trip, so there will also be a review of Disneyland Paris, and a video or two as well. I was way too exhausted to watch any TV! I actually don't even remember turning on one TV the entire trip! I guess I misses some great 'shows!'

Looks great! Thanks for the pics. I really really need to get out to China.

He asked? As long as there was no watermark on it I would have just stole it!

Amy and I are heading out to see Legally Blond this weekend. I hope it's good!

Some photos don't need watermarks because no one in the world would want to steal them. A sneak peak at my "Middle America Food and Fatties" Photo TR. It will be offensive. People with no sense of humor need not view it.

Just saw this posted on Mouseplanet Sorry if it has already been posted: Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, they close an entire land at Disneyland. I know the e-ticket is closed for re-furb anyway, and it is the slow season, but it does seem a little much especially with whats going on at DCA.

Last official day of the trip, but there are still 3 more days as a group of us as we head off to Paris and Disneyland Paris! Up next is Efteling in the Hanno land of Dutch! Derek was awesome again and gave us another guided tour! Like all the other parks in Europe, this place was incredibly themed and awesome! The ERT on George and the Dragon was incredible. Robb was filming, so we were 'stuck' in the front row for about 5 laps! It was awesome! It was still incredibly hot, but much more tolerable. The hotel was really nice and close by, and we had a massive TPR takeover of the restaurants. We were also introduced to the most greatest breakfast condiment ever.... De Ruijter Chocolate Sprinkles! They were so good and perfect with toast and Nutella! The park had some really cool stuff, like Spook Slut, the pooping donkey, and awesome billboards (see below). That night we had an INCREDIBLE farewell dinner, and an AWESOME night at the bar with Piers....but those photos will be posted later On to the photos! THANKS AGAIN ELISSA AND ROBB FOR AN INCREDIBLE TRIP!!! Our Paris side trip is next! On our way to ERT on a nice calm morning. Isn't it supposed to be a Bull in a China shop? I guess this works also. Oh, that nerd group is here? But it's not that fat nerd group. Ok, then we can open this ride. What a fancy start to a fancy day. I think this was a measuring device of some sorts The line for De Vliegende Hollander (?) had you walking through pubs and the loading area was like a wharf town. Very cool. TPDave is ready to go! Sitting in the boat with the Kitty of Death. Little Sploosh. This was a little odd. You had to be over 120 cm (3.9 ft for us Americans) to sit in rows 1-4 & 9-12, and 110 cm (3.6 feet) or taller to sit in rows 5-8. TPR approves of George and the Dragon! The magical skills of Robb! Hello (with an accent)! We approve! George and the Dragon gets a double sleeveless thumbs up! The race is on. The dragon was incredible, and breathed fire! AAAAAAAAAHHHH! DRAGON! Hey, its Bob the Ride! Bob recommends you don't trip. Or maybe he's trying to get you to trip by having you look up and read the sign instead of looking where you are going. We approve of Bob! Now that's a vending machine! The permanent yawning rubbish bins. SF needs to get these and have them yell, "You have a heart and did your part" every time you throw something away. I wonder if that's one of the Santa Claw balls. I will be displaying mine like that. We decided to take the scenic route. No lines, perfect. Puss in boots....and a garter belt? I didn't know there was a Santa Pope. Amy in front of Villa Volta. That entire house was just for a Mad House! Incredible! This warped ride was called Dreamflight. This ride had fairies, animals, trolls, and ... Aliens?!?! What else would you expect in a Fairy ride but a naked alien taking a shower. Drew and Alfredo pose for a shot. Also, a nice view of the ride system. For some reason they just seemed a little creepy. This section was just as uninspiring as Spaceship Earth's section. This 'room' was pretty cool and had these floating buildings. More creepy anorexic fairies and old pedophile trolls. I think this old man was from Villa Volta, the Mad House. Pretty good pre-show. Unfortunately, Andrew got his face stuck yet again. There were a ton of different pathways that you could get lost in. This was another odd seating chart. 2 adults, or 3 kids, or 1 adult and 2 kids, or 1 adult and 1 kid and one... child molester? Melissa enjoys Slug the Ride. Family shot inside the slug. This was the view from the kids ride! Best kids ride in the world. I'm sure this ride is Big-Mike approved. *Sob* All I wanted was a Diet Coke and not a Coke Light. *Sniff* Is that too much to ask? I think Alfredo likes this ride just a little more than Andrew. That is one ugly baby. And this ugly thing looks like the baby from Dinosaurs (the TV show for us older folk). I would love to live in a house like this. A cock, pussy, bitch, and ass all in one picture, and it's not porn! Piers does a super fancy pose in front of Vogel Rock. But then he remembered he is extremely shy. TPR gathers together for lunch! There were some similarities, and some differences, with Dutchanian food. It was still very good, and this was just my 'bread' dish! Everyone, except Doug, was really excited for Carnaval Festival. For some reason an employee sat on that box the entire ride. Carnaval Festival translates to "It's a Small World With Huge Noses" You can see how fascinated everyone is! Grandpa? Slippage, and it's not even the Superbowl! I loved this theme. It's called Monsieur Cannibale, so your the main dish! This maze area was pretty fun. Alfredo just barely made it past the acid trap. Another random employee riding a bike through the park. Just a reminder that on Fata Morgana, smoking and food are required, as is a game of grab ass. I think I found Osama. This would have been so much better if it did a massive roar. Your are so close to it as you go around the corner that I'm sure some people would jump out of the boat. We want the red head. We want the red head. I think those two nasty things hanging from his face are supposed to be hanging from somewhere else. Next up was Derek's world famous SPOOK SLUT! Creepy Jacob Marley ghost. RIP Queen, we will honor you with a song on the Middle America Trip! Spook Slut was like a moving diorama, with a really cool soundtrack. This thing haunted my dreams for weeks. I don't think they could be anymore clear. I think more places should use these signs. The best quarter machine in the world. This was Andrews favorite place on the trip. The railroad models were quite impressive. Much better than WOC, and no waiting for hours as well! The most elaborately themed carousel 'area' I've ever seen. Robb, but not Disney, approved! The exhaustion of the trip is definitely setting in. The 'fairy tale' area had a bunch of familiar stories like Hansel and Gretel. and Tangled....I mean Rapunzel. The dragon would scare the kids when they touched his treasure. I don't know the goat lady story though. ...or the story about the man with the long neck. Thanks for an incredible day Efteling! If you can't tell, we have hit extreme exhaustion. Melissa and Eric are about to backhand me. Face frozen yet again. Even Alfredo is finally too tired to smile. The beef carpaccio was amazing! I got three full portions because some people at my table were too leery to try it! Win for me! Eric and Derek have a farewell drink! Because the land of Dutch is so far north, it was still very bright at 10 pm! And yes, that is an AT&T iPhone that works around the world. Piers started drinking a little early this evening, and he also won (I think I remember correctly) a bottle of wine. He was already starting to phase out. And he had a nice conversation with KidTums. But KidTums was a little scared at Piers' different tipsy voice. And this was just the start! More Piers pictures soon!

I usually head down to LA a few times during the off season. As for local things, I try to get out SCBB. Also, flying down a mountain at 70 mph on a snowboard is pretty coasterish.

On the Europe trip even the River Raft Rides had no restraints! It's too bad stupid people ruined '12 people boats' on Splash Mountain.

Here's my 'watermark.' Is this too much? I just don't want anyone to steal my pictures. Sponge Bob's Coaster was a lot of fun!

Thanks for the trip report! They did an awesome job with this. I'm definitely going to buy some stuff!

Quick Question. Do you get an email when you win? I won, filled out the form and submitted and was wondering if I was supposed to get a confirmation email.

YAY! Finally won! I got a big yellow spiky ball. Filled out the form and everything. Do they send a confirmation email?

I was so jealous you won Robman! The rules say something about only winning one prize, but you at least get bragging rights! (Hopefully the three balls will be considered 'one' prize )

Just failed again! I really suck at this. Met two TPR member in line though. Robman (who needs to post more ) and Big Dipper 80!

^Way to pick a fight Jake! The ride looks great, I can't wait to ride it. I still laugh thinking about all those alignment and 'bolt' comments way back.

I got a message saying they had to do a massive reset. Oh well, now I only have a 2 hour wait versus 6 more previously. Now I can fail for 6th and 7th time.

Looks great Robb, can't wait! You guys have been doing a ton of work, thanks!

I really do love those shirts. I lucked out with a bag of crap about two years ago that had a bunch of shirts in it. I have about 15, and I wear them all the time! Those and my stupid joke shirts
