ok... this wasn't while I was at a theme park or anything, but it was sort of near a tourist attraction in Scotland. scene: I'm on the train to Edinburgh, and the train is pulling into the station which is right next to the Edinburgh Castle. American Lady: Oh wow that's such a beautiful sight! Me: Yeah it's one of Scotlands greatest landmarks. American Lady: It's so convenient how they built the castle right next to the train station. Me: .....yeah, you should have seen the invading armies who turned up via train. the whole car laughed, the American Lady joined in and said... American Lady: I wonder if Braveheart rode on these tracks. yeah, it was just sad then and now she's part of a funny story. i hope she learnt something on that holiday! afterwards i realized that railways were the main reason as to how most citys were born in the US...so I saaw her point of view. Still...Braveheart on a train and England invading Edinburgh Castle via the London Express is hilarious to hear.

thanks for the pics. it's a shame the park doesn't utilize their theming more into their rides, but the surroundings are great.

thanks for the pictures. that moon swing looks great, and the main street reminds me of an outdoor market place. interesting theme for some of the rides.

i remember going to Dollywood years ago with my father, we traveled all the way from Chicago just to go back there and have a fun weekend. checked the web site and everything to make sure the park would be open, and it said it was going to be, but alas when we got there it was closed and not a person in sight. ruined the whole purpose of the trip. i'll end that story by saying that Pigeon Forge isn't the most exciting place on earth either.

thanks for the pics, the detail is really good quality. hope to get to this park sometime next year!

i agree to break it down by park, but i would have to say that overall my least favorite ride is the new Journey into the Imagination. I miss the old version, the innocence, the creativity, and the music. any of you younger ones ever wonder what's at the top of those winding stairs at the ride exit, inside the glass pyramid? the original interactive play area "The Image Works," that i loved oh so much! on ride video. - part 1 - part 2 - part 3 part 3 shows you the interactive area too at the end of the video.

quality trip report, thanks for sharing the hilarity! -stu-

this is why i hate living in the UK, since i miss out on all the fun it seems. thanks for the pics and have a great time!

hey thanks for posting these pics guys. i used to live in Chicago for 10 years, before I moved back to the UK in 2005...so I really do miss it, especially the city. SFGAm has always had a really rubbish Fright Fest....nowhere near as good as any of the other parks. thanks again! -stu-

i could never drink that much beer, but the pretzels looked interesting! thanks for the pics, and glad to see you had a good time!!

thanks for the pics...i havent been to this park in ages! *$2*

i think fantazy land looks better.

you're right, the ground below Goliath really does look pretty bad!!

coming in 2008 to SFMM, Parking: Adventures on Concrete!

looks like a fun day out was had by all, nice TR. you should 'put out the vibe,' a little more often.
