Nice Europe Photo TR. I'm really missing the trip right now. Keep posting photos.

The only way I'd wait 5 hours for anything is if its an awesome ride thats closing forever, or if its a good ride at a faraway park that I've been to, don't have the credit, got all the other crappy credits and other cool rides in the park, and won't be returning to that park for a third time for a while.

Not counting relocations Flashback @ SFMM Psyclone @ SFMM Spellbreaker @ Legoland CA Treetop Racers @ Adventure City Hurricane @ SCBB Speed the Ride @ Las Vegas Villain @ Geauga Lake Double Loop @ Geauga Lake Big Dipper @ Geauga Lake Disaster Transport @ Cedar Point Son of Beast @ Kings Island With Relocations, you can add DejaVu @ SFMM (Now SFNE) Invertigo @ CGA (Now Dorney Park) Tony Hawks Big Spin @ SFDK (Now SFM) Dominator @ Geauga Lake (Now KD) Thunderhawk @ Geauga Lake (Now Michigans Adventure) Head Spin @ Geauga Lake (Now Carowinds) Laser @ Dorney Park (Now Traveling German Fairs)

Giant Dipper @ Belmont Park on Friday Night.

Well if Outlaw Run and Hades 360 turn out to be big successes and more rides like that keep popping up in 2014 and 2015, then it'll be true.

I love hangtime. It's one of my favorite aspects on a coaster after airtime and the out of control feeling. I love the hangtime you get on DejaVu, the corkscrews on Viper, and I know everyones gonna disagree with me on this, but I think that there's some really good hangtime on the inline twists on a Volare. Surprisingly, I wasn't that thrilled by the hangtime on Sequoia Adventure. I mean, it was there, but it also got old fast and just bored me.

Here. Try and guess this park.

The Night Santa went Crazy - Weird Al

I'd definetly say that this would qualify. You're bungee jumping into an active Volcano in Chile. http://www.bungee.com/bzapp/volcano/index.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ7bJ5a1l2k Also continuing with the volcano theme, you can also sandboard down an active volcano in Nicaragua.http://www.madeincentralamerica.net/2011/07/climbing-and-sandboarding-cerro-negro.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1QbXAUtpfA

16/20. I got lucky on my score since I guessed on half of them.

2012 Divertical @ Mirabilandia Wodan @ Europa Park OzIris @ Parc Asterix

Looks like a great ride. Sort of like Manta @ SWSD meets a Booster Bike. Really hoping to ride this on the TPR Scandinavia Trip in 2014.

Great Photos Joey. I love seeing these Photo TRs of rarely talked about parks. Hopefully, I'll eventually make it to Brazil and check these parks out.

Revolution @ SFMM

Circle of Life - Elton John

Mt. Olympus definitely gets my vote for worst park operations. Only one train is running on everything despite the long lines, and employees still aren't trying to make the line move faster, instead taking time to play on their phones or talk to each other. Wasn't impressed at all.

Saw Andrew W.K about three weeks ago.

I consider Iron Dragon a legendary coaster because there are now only four Arrow suspended coasters left in the world, Flight Deck (Kings Island),Ninja (Six Flags Magic Mountain), and Vortex (Canada's Wonderland). As for the "legendary" status of Silver Comet, it was based on the Comet coaster from the long gone Crystal Beach theme park. If Silver Comet is considered legendary because its based on the Crystal Beach Comet, then surely the Comet @ the Great Escape would be legendary considering it IS the Crystal Beach Comet just relocated. As for legendary coasters, I'd say these are legendary. Cyclone @ Coney Island Matterhorn @ Disneyland Magnum XL 200 @ Cedar Point Batman the Ride @ SFGAm Millennium Force @ Cedar Point Comet @ Great Escape X2 @ SFMM This doesn't really count since it hasn't been built yet, but if Woodies with inversions just pop up like crazy after next year, then I think we might be able to add Outlaw Run @ Silver Dollar City to the list.

Lights - Journey

Pleasent Surprises. Space Mtn @ DLP - Not nearly as rough as I was expecting. Steeplechase @ Coney Island - Was expecting it to be lame after being dissappointed with Pony Express, but this was a really fun ride. Cobra @ La Ronde - Much smoother than I was expecting. Plus it has some good airtime. Scandia Screamer @ Scandia - Way faster and more forceful than I expected. Not just a credit whoring coaster. RC Racer @ DLP - Originally thought that the idea of a non-spinning Half Pipe would be lame and boring, but I actually had a lot of fun.
