Last month? Wow, it doesn't look "new" at all. I had assumed it was a photo of you from years ago, taken by one of your parents. Must be the B&W. Thanks... that's what I was goin' for! I thought it had an old feel to it, and I figured converting it to B&W would enhance that.

^^ Hahaha... I was thinking the same thing, but didn't have the balls to post it. Wait... was that a bit naughty also?

Here we go... If things go as planned... I will be driving one of these shortly. A 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon. Add a Thule cargo box on the top that I can throw my snowboards and travel gear in and a trailer hitch mounted bike rack, and I'm good to go! I have been driving this 2003 Mitsubishi Galant ES for the past 4 years. She has treated me well. She has taken me to 16 different states. I put A LOT of miles in this thing.

Age: Look to the left for my up to date age. Middle Name: Scott Pet Peeve: Where do I begin? Bad/Stupid drivers probably tops the list. Color of your bathroom: White, with a camouflage shower curtain, and tan and green accessories. Best Movie of ALL time: Dumb & Dumber! Best Song of ALL time: That one is too tough to answer. Best TV Shows: I don't have cable anymore. When I did though, it was Two And A Half Men, The King Of Queens, The Big Bang Theory, & Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Favorite Band/Artist: Alkaline Trio Favorite Ride at Disney Parks: Never been to the FL parks, but I remember as a kid my favorite at Disneyland was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Yummiest Ice Cream: Chocolate with Almonds... Mmmm! If you could eat lunch with one person, who would it be: My Dad (RIP). I miss when he would eat lunch with me on my breaks from work. Morning Person or Night Person: Depends. I pretty much like the middle of the day the best. Pets: Bunches of Fishies! Favorite Color: That's tough. I like earthy colors. I.E. greens, browns, tans, & blues. I'll add in Grays for good measure. Where you would go for fun (not an amusement park): Traveling in general, or to play Putt-Putt Golf. Coke or Pepsi: Ummm... Mt. Dew! Opinion about Peanut Butter and Jelly: Not together. Actually, I don't really like Jelly at all. I LOVE Peanut Butter though! Best Vacation Spot: So far, Florida takes the spot. Cook or Go Out: Go Out, for sure! Beach, Desert, or Mountains: Beach. P.S. I like this thread.

Another great update! Thanks for all of these random TR's that you do. I enjoy seeing all of the other things that are out there to do. I LOVE putt-putt golf, so those updates are right up my alley.

This thread cracks me up! I love popping in every once in a while to get a good laugh.

I have thought about this exact thing for many years! Glad to see someone actually did it.

Thanks a bunch! You are correct. That is Lil' Dipper at Camden Park. I just took that photo last month.

Everyone be sure to vote for Photo #11

Awesome TR, Big Mike! I LOVE Holiday World! I'm glad that you finally got a chance to ride Voyage. I must say that I'm surprised by your ranking of it, though. Not that I would argue with it, but it still surprises me. I guess it's due to other people's ranking after riding the other two. I have not ridden Balder, so I can't rank that, but I always have trouble trying to decide if I like Voyage or El Toro better.

That's a bummer you didn't get a chance to ride Avalanche (HellCat). It's a crazy little coaster, and it's size had me fooled. It is for sure one of the wildest and most out of control feeling coasters that I have ever ridden. Seriously. Anyways, thanks for sharing your photos. Glad you had a good time. I loved Mt. Olympus!

I entered this one here.

Definitely #6 And to think I touched that exact pole like 2 weeks ago.

^ Man, that's terrible!

What a beauty! For a second there when I first read the title of this thread, I thought it was saying that Laser was being built inside of an IKEA. Not that there would be anything wrong with that. I love IKEA, and I love Laser too!

Your TR's are just so much damn fun! The last 3 parks that you guys visited, I also just visited on my trip. It's cool to compare the similarities and differences in our visits, even though they were so close together. You guys had rain. I had BLAZING hot heat and crazy high humidity! I can't decide which is worse. I enjoy your TR's thoroughly, and will be keeping an eye out for any new TR's from the Bebe's. Thanks again for sharing! -Brian

Thanks, froggypheebs! Glad you're enjoying them so far. I had never really seen any photos from Camden before either, so it was a big surprise when I finally arrived. I absolutely LOVED their sign. I bet I took about 20 photos of just that, haha. I was surprised when I saw that Go-Carts Plus had a Disk'O as well. Although, it was a pretty nice little park. Hopefully they get a little more business than when I was there, cause it was super slow. Glad you LOVED BGW! It was by far my favorite park of the trip. I'll leave it at that so I don't spoil my TR, hehe. Big Mike, Thanks for the kind words, and thanks again for always being so awesome and nice. I'm glad that you're enjoying the TR's so far. I will indeed tell my Mom that you say hi. She knows all about you. I always show her your thread when she stops over to visit. She loves it too! Thanks again to the both of you! I'm glad someone reads them.

I spy.... 2 DUCKIES! Great updates, Big Mike. I've been trying to catch up since being back from my trip. I was only gone for like 8 days, and I just can't seem to get caught up! I don't know how in the world you do updates while on trips. Much respect!

I very much agree! I think I'd pick Dwight Yoakam first. Second, it'd probably be a tie between Kanye West, or The Charlie Daniels Band.

These are great photos! Glad you had fun. Did you go to the water park? It's a pretty nice water park. It's so nice that, that's where the majority of the people end up. Which is a good thing if you ask me. They can stay on the slides, and I'll stay on Shivering Timbers.

After Carowinds we were headed to Williamsburg, Virginia to find our hotel and rested up for Busch Gardens Europe the next day. Little did I know that there would be a little bonus park down the road from our hotel, along with an unexpected credit! Our third park of the trip was Go-Carts Plus. Go-Carts Plus 6910 Richmond Road Williamsburg, VA 23188 They have 1 coaster and adults are allowed to ride it. Here's a little Park Index love. (Well, I didn't see anything in there for it) Hope you enjoy! This is the last photo for this update. I felt like I was going to get stuck in there, so I half assed it. Hope you enjoyed! Next update will be Busch Gardens Europe, which was my most anticipated park of the trip. Stay tuned! You can't tell from the photos, but the place was super packed so we only had time to play one course. My Mom & I. Anytime we get near a Pirate's Cove we make it a priority to play at least one of the courses. My Mom & I both LOVE to play Putt-Putt, so we always make sure to play on trips. We opted out of playing at Go-Carts Plus for the price, cause I knew that we could play at Pirate's Cove for about the same amount, and it would be much better. After Historic Williamsburg, we ventured down to Wendy's where we had the worst service I've ever had at a fast food joint. After Wendy's, we headed to Pirate's Cove to play some Putt-Putt Golf. It was right across the street from our hotel, which was convenient. We wandered for a little bit to look around. I didn't take many photos, but here are the few that I did take. We then ventured into Historic Williamsburg so my Mom could hang out with Thomas Jefferson for a bit. They got along great! This sign was above the restrooms. I thought it was amusing, so I took a photo of it. After we left Go-Carts Plus we just drove around Williamsburg and did a little site seeing. We stopped at this general store to look around and waste some time. That's my Mom at the top of the stairs. This is the last photo from Go-Carts Plus. I followed this path thinking it was going to take me somewhere fun. It ended up being an observation deck for the largest of the go-cart tracks, and the putt-putt golf course. If you couldn't tell from all of the previous photos, the park was super dead. I apologize for all of the boring dead shots with no one in them, or without the rides operating. Now, the rest of the random attractions at the park. I like this one! They had a Disko! I can NOT do spin-n-puke rides, but for some reason these things don't bother me, which makes me happy cause I think they're super fun! The biggest of the 4 tracks. The 3rd biggest track. Boring circle track. The next biggest track. The smallest of the go-cart tracks. The lift. The train. The reason we're here. A little credit whoring. Park map. It was a clean little family park. I'd say most of the park is for kids. I tried to get a photo of everything, but I forgot to get a photo of the arcade. After we got rested up, we headed down the road to this little park. We arrived at our hotel and got checked in and relaxed for a little bit.

Retracked, Rebuilt... either way, the ride sucked. I know I'm not a coaster expert, but I think I've ridden enough of them to know what is rough, and what isn't. I'd put it in the top 5 roughest that I've ridden.

What an odd looking place. Very nice photos, though. Thanks for sharing!
