^ "Excuse me, sir, can I pay my shints here today?"

No... hopefully this summer though! (Btw I meant you planned a coaster without any seriousness in doing it, literally just coming up with a random itinerary for the fun of it. I know I'm a complete dork) Do you like comedy sitcoms like The Middle, The Goldbergs, Modern Family, etc.

One week from today I'll be seeing Endgame! Excitement! (And no spoilers, I promise)

Yes, I didn't get over my fear of bigger rides (meaning bigger than 140-150 feet) until I rode Raging Bull in July 2015. Have you ever planned a coaster trip just for fun?

Traded in my LG G6 today for a Samsung Galaxy S9

Apparently Twisted Timbers just closed a few minutes ago due to something flying out and hitting a rider. Anyone at the park to confirm this?

^ Agreed. Boss is super underrated IMO, I had a *REALLY* good ride on it in May of 2018 with lots of ejector air and it was really smooth (thank you rain!)

^^ Well, I mean, who DOESN'T hope that Schwarzkopfs are preserved

LOL! Win!

^ My reasoning exactly. I understand the position of those who choose 2019 to be the result but I think things would be simpler if we followed the same pattern.

I think since the last one was called the 2017 poll and only included coasters through 2017, this one should be the 2018 one. Also think back to polls like the Mitch Hawker polls; those results came out a year later (early in the next year) but were still named after the past year, if that makes sense.

Yesss! Sorry to ask if you've gotten this a lot, but will we be seeing your Top 10 and Bottom 10 again this year, Robb?

Oblivion - Alton Towers

^ Tripsdrill is also incredibly beautiful, relaxing, and has a very underrated drop ride.

Looks like this is going to start the 2010-2013 debate again... is this coaster wood or steel?

^ This was my second ever visit to Disney, my first being in 2015.

Edit - This wasn't supposed to come out yet and the formatting is all off. Enjoy it as it is now but I'm still fixing the formatting and attachments. Thank you! I would've used that opportunity, and everyone with the band program noticed it and wanted to as well, but the main band director told us that for the purpose of keeping track of everyone, we weren't allowed to leave the hotel in the evenings. But as you can see in the main post, I rode it on Thursday. It was pretty good for a hotel in the Kissimmee area. There were some problems like the elevators and toilets, but otherwise it wasn't bad place to stay for a few nights. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 1: Sunday, March 24th (Part 1) - Disney's Animal Kingdom Starting early in the morning with the arrival at the hotel, our couple of hours to get ready for the day went by before I knew it, and soon enough, we were loading up the bus at 9:00 AM, with wonder in our eyes ready to take on the happiest place on earth! A couple of you asked about Fun Spot Kissimmee, and while I didn't visit the park on school time, I grabbed a couple shots of Mine Blower in the early morning. Mine Blower from the hotel lobby Love the layout! Thursday will be so much fun once I ride this! Finally, we were on property, and for the first time since my only other visit to Florida in 2015, I was back in Disney World. I love Disney parks as many other enthusiasts here do, and of course nostalgia reasons as I just mentioned made my heart skip a beat or two as I approached the Animal Kingdom parking gate. Approaching a Disney parking gate for the first time is something that needs to be experienced to describe Once we parked, unloaded and met up with our groups for the day, we took a look at wait times to see if Avatar: Flight of Passage was plausible, but an already 170 minute posting turnt off the hype for the ride for my entire group. As much as I hate to say it, I was in a group of non-enthusiasts (it is a pretty uncommon hobby, as you all know) so they didn't quite get why riding this meant so much to me, and unfortunately, majority rules removed it from our plan for the rest of the day. In hindsight it makes sense, as there was more we wanted to do at Hollywood Studios so we planned to have more time there, but it does sort of hurt that I need to wait until my next Florida trip (whenever that may be) to ride it. Let's still make the best of our day here at Animal Kingdom, even if it sacrifices Avatar. Once we got to the park entrance, the next piece of fun began. Actually getting into the park. Luckily, this problem was only experienced on the first day of the trip at Animal Kingdom, but bag check, security, and ticket scanning was extremely chaotic and disorganized. Bag check had an excuse as they were a bit understaffed and there were some families with complaining children that slowed down the process, so it isn't something I can entirely hold against the park, but it was frustrating. It took about 20 minutes just for me to get through between the time I got in line and the time I got to metal detectors. After a while, we did all make it into the park, but seeing a bunch of other familiar faces from our school enter the park a lot quicker than we did was still painful to watch. Once we got into the park, however, like all Disney parks do, our mood changed and we were enamored in the natural beauty of Disney park theming. This tree... thing was pretty cool. A little creepy, especially for the children, but it's cool! Oh, Tree of Life... is it in your power to remove groups of people from your almighty park so my friends and I can ride Flight of Passage? With Avatar off the table, our first order of business was Expedition Everest. I wonder how Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong Disney feel about this area? God, I love this park's atmosphere. It's so beautiful and relaxing and peaceful. "Shh... I know you're frustrated from bag check, but please don't tell my boss I'm not at Kilimanjaro Safaris. I just need a break." Sorry for upsetting you, Kings Dominion fanboys... but this trip report needs the obligatory mountain photo. All right, let's actually ride something now! Although Everest was posted at 45 minutes, it's better than three hours for Avatar. Everest has one of the best themed queue lines you can find for a roller coaster. There were also a surprising amount of people from my school in line for Everest, so it was cool getting to see so many of them ride. So yeah. Everest really is a great ride in my opinion. The coaster portion it is pretty decent, but by ride I mean the full experience, meaning the moment you step in the queue through the moment you exit the gift shop. It tells a story about, well, an expedition to Mount Everest and the way the concept of the ride was executed is excellent. 4 out 5 stars for me. Okay, back to your regularly scheduled Disney theming goodness. There wasn't a whole lot that my group really wanted to do before park hopping, and two of those rides were both in Dino-Rama, so that was our next stop. "I've been posing as the entrance for this annoying area for years..." Primeval Whirl broke down when we got there so we moved on. I needed both credits though so I was hoping that it would get fixed up soon. Yay! First Intamin ride of the trip! "Ha ha! Disney will never one-up the size of the mighty Sue!" (Only Chicagoland enthusiasts will get this joke)

^ Okay thank you! I just wanted to update my coaster count after my recent Florida trip

For current Club TPR members like myself, whenever I try to login, it takes me back to the homepage instead of my account page. Does anyone else have this error?

Love that! Good job! Which coaster car models are you planning to make in the future?

^ Yeah I thought that too, but I think it looks better. It's the same color scheme as SFOG's and the Intamin Hypers now.

That park is surprisingly well themed and man Pyrenees looks like such a fantastic Invert.

Having just ridden SheiKra for the first time this past week, I can safely say it's a good bit better than Valravn. Even though Yukon Striker has the vest restraints, the size should give it at least a passable amount of floater airtime on the drop and through the inversions. I'm very excited to see how the opinion of the ride unfolds over the course of this season!
