I'm gonna go with Arrow as I feel that if it wasn't for Arrow, there wouldn't be an Intamin or a B&M or any of the other major companies (except for Schwarzkoph). They may be bankrupt (thank you SFMM), but their innovations with the first steel coaster, first suspended coaster, first hyper coaster, and first 4D still stand with us today.

Overrated

It's been way too long since I last posted in here. I gotta come up with more random crap to say in here. My life hasn't been random enough.

Dammit!! Now I'm hungry!! I gotta make it to this event one of these days.

Definitely Outlaw Run. The other RMCs I've ridden (New Texas Giant & Iron Rattler) were fun and all, but Outlaw Run is my 2nd favorite coaster.

Superman: The Escape back in 2000.

Kong @ Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

All right. Sorry for the long delay. A lot of stuff has been going on and I've fallen behind. Since my last update, I went on the TPR Scandinavia Trips, and in case all the other great Photo TRs from everyone else haven't convinced you yet, let me join in on the choir and throw my hat in the ring. The TPR Scandinavia Trip is the best trip I have ever taken. I've done several other trips with TPR such as Middle America, the Northeast, and Italy & Europe in 2012, trips with other coaster groups, and solo road trips halfway across the United States. Those were all fun, but Scandinavia is still easily my favorite trip. First off, this is my favorite part of the world that I've been to. Second off, there were just so many great rides on this trip. Balder, Piraten, Tornado, Helix, the list goes on and on with great ride after great ride. And don't even get me started on the theme parks. Europa Park may still be my current favorite park, but so many of the parks on this trip (Liseberg, Grona Lund, Tivoli Gardens) easily make my Top 10 Parks. And finally, Robb & Elissa put so much effort into making this the best trip ever. There was so much ERT, so many perks, so much included, it was hard to keep track. So thank you again for running such a great and successful trip. I'm sad that the trip is over, but hey, now I get to re-live it through all my photos. Onto the Photo TR. YAY!!! THE SCANDINAVIA TRIP IS HERE!!! On a random sidenote, United Airlines SUCKS!!!! I gotta find a new airline to fly and get miles with. But whatever. EXCITEMENT!!!! Oh crap!!! I knew this part of the world was cold, but not THIS cold!!! Yay!!! I'm here!!!! I totally buy that they're the happiest country in the world after seeing how its run. Story Time. A bunch of people on the trip were on the second leg of my flight from Newark to Copenhagen. So afterwards, we all were buying our tickets for the metro. I was gonna buy mine and some Danish Woman walks up to me and asks if I wanted her ticket. I said "Sure. Thank you" and saved myself some precious Kroner for this trip. But getting on the metro, I didn't see anyplace to give anyone our ticket. No check, no nothing. I know in Rome, they just checked on the metro, so maybe this worked in a similar way. Either way, I'm just glad I saved myself some money. I spy with my little eyes a Starflyer. Yep. That's where we'll be staying for the next couple days. I'll see you in a couple days Tivoli Gardens. Today's just our Copenhagen day. Our day to just explore the town, embrace in all of the goodness of Europe, and do normal touristy stuff. Ooh!! It's the mythical sword in the viking statue. He who pulls it out shall be crowned King of the Doucebags for vandalism of a perfectly good statue. So that's what happened to Full House. Everyone just ended up in Copenhagen. Hey, I'd move here too. I remember bringing up Copenhagen during an old conversation about the best place in the world to move to. I stand by that comment from whenever the hell I made it. We need more Happy Walls in this world. Ross, perhaps if you stopped drinking, you'd realize that not only does she not allign with your orientation, but she's not even real. She's just a picture on a peice of cardboard. Find a real guy dude. Dammit!!! When I said "Let's drop anchor here", I just meant lets stop. I didn't mean literally dropping an anchor here. *facepalm* I gave into the advertising and had a Carlsberg. Not quite as good as the German stuff, but certainly better than all the popular American brands. Just relaxing by the harbor with a beer. Life is good. Ok. Time for another Europe vs. America comparison. Open Container Laws. I LOVE the green light on drinking in public here!!! Really wish America would relax their open container laws. "Cut the chit chat Kevin, grab your beer, and let's hit the town!!!" "Cut the chit chat Kevin, grab your beer, and let's hit the town!!!" "I just checked all of your resumes and you are all the sorriest excuses for guards I have ever seen!!! You all make me ashamed to be Danish!!!" But seriously, the Changing of the Guard was pretty cool. Yeah. I'm in Europe all right. I see you Ropes Course Building. I'll have fun in you later. Dammit!!! Who's idea was it to go through this tiny little hedge maze!!? You see that puny little statue right there? One of the biggest tourist attractions in Denmark. ♫Someday, I'll be part of your world.♫ Bah. I don't need to be here. There's a Little Mermaid statue over at Scandia I can see. While this may look like just some hills to roll down, it's actually one of the best preserved military fortresses in Denmark. See, I'm not lying. Read for yourself. Ooh. Pretty Windmill. I love Europe. I really do. One of the more famous churches in Copenhagen. Hey, I may hate religion, but they do know how to make good architecture. A group of us decided to head out to the Steakhouse by Tivoli Gardens for a good meal while other people wound up at a 7-11. Some people did go to Noma, one of the best resteraunts in the world, but I'm not gonna fork out $250 for dinner, so I went with the Steakhouse group. Gotta admit. This was a really good steakhouse. Even if I did order the cheapest thing off the menu, it was still delicous and I'm glad I joined everyone. "Hey Everyone!! I found the Red Light District!!" Rock on Copenkitty!!! Rock on!!! Well, its been a great first day in Copenhagen. Looking foreword to the Bonus Park tomorrow. Thanks for reading and feel free to leave any comments you have.

Happy to see our first elimination from the game, and I'm especially happy that it was my least favorite Six Flags park, La Ronde that got all its points removed. Onto the next round.
