The Official "TPR Europe Trip 2008" Thread!
sfne2005 replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Just some random thoughts: *The Kyle cutout is great! *Love the hanno photo....Lou seems so dramatic. *Some pretty interesting coasters. *Already sick of seeing Big Mike *There will be far too many responses that say "Looks like you guys are having fun", "Wish I were there", and "Where are the updates?" I want a tally of those who lose their luggage! -
Cool....at least he was a good sport for the camera.

This TR is missing a pic of Big Mike. Big Mike with a mullet would rock!!

I am a big Oreo Cookie dippin dots guy, but the smores blows them away! I need to know if this is a Great Adventure exclusive or do other parks sell this flavor.

I saw one person turned away in the station due to size. He was a chunky flabby fellow. There is a test seat out at the entrance....which could save you potential wasted time. -
^Oh yes, I am quite recognizable It's nice to see other TPR members around town.
-
Tanya with an A said she would. I will make sure she does. She's just not as nerdy as all of us though. And Larry, You know BiMike always tries to one up everyone...so I don't know why you even listen to him. His "date" was like those pictures from Spain.....non-existent.
-
Yes, yes she was. Probably the reason she put up with me and agreed to go to Great Adventure in the first place
-
I am pretty sure she was happy you couldn't make it....something about you stalking people to take bikini pics just freaks her out
-
Like for real! What's with the comp tickets???? And if its because of me...I want my cut beyotch.
-
I brought it, but didn't have to take much into the park requiring it. Locker policies = pocket vest in many cases....deal with it!
-
^Consider this your official one week notice that I will probably be back on this Sunday. You can ride with SteveC.....almost the same thing as riding with Christiana.....

So I made my way back down to Great Adventure because my friend Tanya hadn't been in almost ten years. Accompanying us would be Christiana (herblackwings). From now on I (and hopefully everyone else from now on) will refer to her as Derry...well, because she is from Dur-ee New Hampshire. Weather was great on Friday and most of Saturday. It rained for about an hour, in turn causing another hour or so in delays in opening the coasters. All in all, a good weekend. Good coasters, good people, good, uh, ice-cream.....yea, we'll go with ice-cream. More on that later. I didn't take pictures of all the coasters, besides, y'all know what they look like. I only took pictures of the wicked awesome ones BTW: The Dark Knight is a horrible attraction and addition to the Six Flags line up. The only odd thing about it was the lack of trims during the tight turning portion. Frickin thing flew through those. Basically it was Skull Mountain without the pumpkin and "Why so Serious?" being blasted every other second through the speakers. Nitro, you only got one picture because you were closed on Friday....but we still love you. Just prior to departing for home. Thanks Tanya, Christiana "Derry", Dave and Jay for a great time. TPR truly does bring people together. Sniff sniff. I am so totally kidding Jay. LOL at the random guy in the front seat. Who the hell are you? All the girls love El Toro. Just prior to the OMFG Dodonpa like ejector air. I got nothing. Everything is blurry after it rains. Everything but the train. So about an hour after the train stopped, we had to wait for the little yellow man to climb up, do a rain dance at the top of the lift, then climb back down before they opened again. Exactly. I say dirty because, well just look at it! All there needs to be are hand lotion pumps on the trees. And I hope those hungry men don't get what they want...at least not in the park. But the dirty old men are what catch Derry's eye. So we catch a weird thing occuring off the midway. Those are "living garden statues". Derry gets stopped by security for bringing her pet raccoon into the park. Derry: "But ossifer, I brings me pet coon whereevers I go!" The second day brought about a few guests to our party. Dave (Daveh80) and Mini-Jay (Eltoroextreme). I ended up taking pictures with everyone's camera here giving time for Batman to rub Tanya's back in a petting motion. Ewwww. S'MORES DIPPIN DOTS RULE! I have never seen them at any other park. And they are so so yummy. And yes, that is bits of graham cracker in there. That's more tolerable I suppose, unlike this stupid ride. It was horribly rough. I totally ruined this photo trying to be funny. But its the only one I have of us two, so I am including it. I had just ridden KK with Tanya. Derry was about to go solo. Tanya asked the ride op if she could sit in the empty seat. The look of victory on her face is priceless...as is Derry's, almost a look of disbelief. Tanya liked it so much she opted for a trucker hat. She likes El Toro and Nitro better, don't worry. They both loved it....and Derry wants everyone to stop bashing Kingda Ka....or she'll sick Casey on you. Front row is the only place to ride this one. Tanya thinks she is riding Kingda Ka in Japan or something. See? I warned you. You fed the beast twice now. I had asked Larrygator and BigMike to join us...but we were dissed. Hope you won some money Larry. Big Mike had a "date". Ha....maybe with one of his million fanboys. I am El Toro, I eat your sunglasses! I hope T-Express is awesome like this. But I finally got some front seat rides on this and say IMO, the front is where its at. You get a little floater air on the last few bunnies which I feel is lacking in the backseat. She shuffles a bit more than she did last year...especially in the rear of the train. See? El Toro bull agrees. Hotness all around. We make a B-line to El Toro. Even though they slow the train at the top of the lift, the ride is EXACTLY the same. Kidding. Seriously, it is still wicked good. Wicked ejector through the first half. Our arrival at Great Adventure. Derry on the left, Tanya on the right.

Absolute truth for once. This cannot be counted as a new credit. If you took your car and got it painted a different color and changed the model label to something else, it is still the same car. Same car with same amount of miles and same amount of wear and tear. Just because you drive it in a new place DOES NOT MAKE IT A NEW CAR! So not a new credit IMO.

Strange SFAM security encounter.

There is actually three sides to every story. Accuser's side, accused side and the truth. -
I loved Eejanaika too! Such a good ride. I am definately in the minority by saying I had a good two days there. Also loved Dodonpa and Fujiyama as well.

Was the alpine slide taken out? I didn't see one when we were there. -
