Aren't you the guys that produce Unwrapped? I love that show! This is a tough decision, but Knoebel's does have the greatest pizza. You can't be a cheap price for a slice of pizza and a large soda for around 4.50, where as at Six Flags, it's almost 10 bucks. At Lake Compounce, they introduced a Panini grill this year and I went there for a Panini and it was very very delicious. By the looks of the place, they do make them right on site.

^ Can I get a one-way to California so I can get working? Good to hear you're safe Flipdude, it must be tough over there. -
Alright, I am finally able to upload the last update now since TPR was giving me issues in trying to upload photos the past attempts. Anyway, the last parks we hit were Busch Gardens Europe & Paramount's Kings Dominion. BGE had a great atmosphere and since it was a hot day, they had free water available everywhere. They even rolled out water coolers so passing patrons can get a cup of water. Paramount's Kings Dominion was another nice park that we hit after BGE, I wasn't able to get all the credits since it was hot and I was really tired. The only coaster I really liked there was Volcano. Two of the woodies were too violent for me, and don't get me started on Hypersonic XLC. Luckly the crowds were very light so I didn't wait long for this coaster. The only good points were the launch and the accent, but there was a point where my head was thrown back into the headrest giving me a nice headache, and after that was just shaking and hard brakes. ugh. Anyway, here are the photos Us going to the front row queue Good news Hypersonic XLC fans! Tylenol is now available when you exit the ride. This was my 80th credit...notice my facial expression for it. One of two trains launching. Italian Jorb! Now we're at PKD My mom sure loved the interlocking loop part of the coaster when she rode it about 25 years ago It wouldn't be an update without a coaster shot Don & Monica say hello another shot site shot Now for shots of the site from the skyway Just incase you miss the first teaser poster, they got the entire wall covered with them For all you "dirt pushing" lovers, here's a shot of the site for their new coaster Giving a shout out to Soren! You'd see me ski down a quad-diamond trail in 2.5 seconds flat Monica is stomping grapes ala "I Love Lucy" Apollo's Chariot. The helix almost made me black out more than Nitro's helix Escape from Pompei. It had some decent effects, plus a mysterious godly voice that says "No Camcorders allowed" while you're inside choo choo train First coaster to ride in the park. This is the same coaster that turned my Mom into hating coasters. She rode it about 25 years ago. Here we are at Busch Gardens Europe And to finish the TR. Don starting our camp fire a traditional way....using lighter fluid Lookout part III Lookout part II Looking out over the park part I The Effiel Tower. It's like I'm in Paris...excpet this one is smaller and blue

**Busch Gardens Europe & Paramount's Kings Dominion on Page 3** Hey guys, we finally managed to secure a wireless connection, so I can finally post the first batch of photos from our trip. We're currently outside of Fredricksburg, Virgina at a KOA for a couple of nights. So far, I hit Knoebels by myself on Monday, then on Tuesday we did SFGAdv, and today we just walked around DC. So far the trip has been a blast and it's a lot more fun to camp compared to staying at a hotel which is a whole lot more expensive. Anyway, here's the first batch of photos Monday's Photos Flying Tigers got a canopy now Can't beat Knoebels food. Slice of pizza & a large soda for 4.50. Better than at a Six Flags where you require a 4 year loan to pay for dinner Flying Turn signage That box must be for wood Another Shot Another shot of Flying Turns Flying Turns is looking swell Knoebels put up a 2006 flood water level sign Traditional Knoebels shot Arrival at Knoebels Bangor, Maine! Represent' Drive starts out by heading through Hartford, CT

^ hmmmm, sounds like a good reason to have the handicap thingy. I think all Arrested Development fans did something to their bodys to recieve handicap parking
-
question.... whats with the handicap thing on wes' car? Just curious.

It's big enough that two planes can take off at once at two different runways

awww, I'm sorry about your dog. When I was young I watched my dog be put down. It's a hard thing to go through when loosing a pet since you cherish them as being apart of your family. Also, little side note, I believe that pet's do go to heaven, because sounds crazy as it is, when I went to a pyschic to do research for a psychology paper, the psychic told me who was watching over me, one he said was a yellow labradore that I owned, which was my old dog Luke.
