Part 4: Martins Fantasy Island! After our many rides on Ride of Steel, ( and I guess a few other rides,) we next headed off to a little park called Martins Fantasy Island, which would have a few surprises for us! Notes: -Silver Comet is great!, but will break you're ribs if you don't brace yourself on the final turn! -Gosh darn do I hate trims! -Never underestimate a log flume! -100 feet tall isn't to scary, but I imagine 300 is! Guys, I think you're doing it wrong...you really should be sitting down! (Behemoth Bash Next!) One of the worst mouses ever. Seriously, every trim stopped the car, and we spun like once! Ever the ride operators said it was pathetic! (and that means something!) One of the best tilt a whirls ever, followed by... One of the strangest magic carpet rides ever, as halfway thru it tilted forward, going into floor less mode. This freaked me out more than flight! My personal favorite prize...a cheese grater! And of corse Robb got lots of video! Everyone tosses their balls (get you're mind out of the gutter!). The whole point of the game is to get 5 across, in any direction...and win some great prizes! And now for the best game of the trip...I Got It!!!!(and yes, as you can tell, there are balls involved..) Are you guys ready for you're ride on the silver comet? ...and especially ignore these people who looked like they just jumped into a pool! Seriously, this was the craziest log flume I have ever been on! A whole wave of water poured into the boat not once, but twice! Nothing to see here, just your average log flume...look at it, it's not tall, you cant get wet...it only has two hills...ignore the ride attendant having to pump water out of the log every time it came back to the station... Flight. I was told that several people found it scary, but I found it more relaxing. Of corse I am a little messed up in the head.. Pretty standard carnival ride, but without the pain that is usually associated with them! Most boring swing(ish) type ride ever! They had reprogramed it the week before, so now all it does is swing back and forth, without spinning. Life is just boring without spinning... Martin's has a little lake running through it, where you could go canoeing. But last time I checked, we weren't called canoe review, so I kept walking on! Are you guys ready for this interesting little park? After passing over a little magical bridge, we arrive at our next park, Martin's!

Down to $3.59 here!

That's a mighty big statement there. And I mighty will stand by it! ( ) Cameron has the number one movie of all time, and is spending close to 3 years just on the special effects! He already spent years on pre production! And with a budget around 250 million, and many people saying that the special effects are the most groundbreaking of all time, I tend to thing it will to good! (Sorry about my little rant there!) Just Saw Mummy 3: The Quest for a Good Script. What the hell happened to this movie? This was the only disappointment of the year for me! The action was boring, the script was very bad, and the humor was horrible! At least sommers could make you laugh while having some decent action! And the Yeti's were horrible! (it saddens me to say that!) Seriously, the prolouge was to long, the climax was just CG fighting, not entertaining. This is the only movie lately where I actually checked the time! 3/10

Yep, use to be called Superman: Ride of Steel, but Six Flags ran away, so they just plopped off the superman logos! They still pop up once and a while, though, like the exit gate!

From what I heard, yup, and it doesn't seem to be going up any time soon!

<----Favorite picture of me from the Behemoth Tour, wondering what just happened after getting of the wettest log flume ever!

Part 3: Darien Lake We next arrived at darien lake an hour early, to get ERT on Predator and Ride of Steel. The rest of the day, we worked on getting credits, eating, and getting to get to each other more! Some notes: -Ride of Steel is now my favorite steel coaster, beating out maverick. -Predator, in my opinion, is not rough at all, at least toward the front. -Motocoaster was cute, but that's about it. -Viper looks pretty, but like some people, will beat you up when you try to find out more! -SLCs continue to earn their name of pain, but today's was smooth compared to Wonderlands! Holy crap, they're getting a 500 foot tall, standing coaster! You heard it here first! (Martin's Fantasy Island next!) Bye, Ride of Steel. I'll miss you. Please write! There's something shocking in there, I wonder what it is? It broke! We had perfect timing! Because of a delay on ERT, we got these handy things. And as soon as we got off the train on Ride of Steel..... Having a little fun with your hotdog, Elissa? Someone yelled out free food, so we all ran to get it! But little did I know, going up the lift, that it was going to be the roughest ride on the trip! Yeah, even rougher than Mr. Rogers! (but with less loops!) ..and some are excited, so it must be good! ....and there people riding it... Hmmm, it doesn't look that bad.... I think this tame log flume was trying to tell me that this was the only one I needed to ride today. If only I had listened! Mind Eraser, AKA: Mind Eraser! My attempt at an artsy shot of the ferris wheel. But we're not here for ferris wheels! Motocoaster: Cool, but not very thrilling or re-rideable. Now a real motorcycle on that track would be thrilling! Everyone skips poor predator, heading for the main attraction. Darien Lake, you have no idea what's coming toward you! As we arrive, I find my new love looking back at me.

There was a gum tree in line for the powered coaster an Canada's wonderland. It was right below the loading platform, and right under/around the tree, was a walkway! I was surprised people were still using it, considering everybody was spitting onto it!

Holy crap, that came out of nowhere. This is very sad I was a fan of his. A great person taken way to early

All that's really been released is that both of those pics are fake. Not a single image has been released. They are being very secret about it. But it WILL be one of the biggest movie of all time! James Cameron is back!

Part 2: Seabreeze! After our very long, but fun first drive, we arrived at our first park. Seabreeze is a little park, but it has some great rides! It is home to four credits: a kiddy coaster, a spinning coaster, a wooden, and the bobselds, which I have no idea why it is spelled wrong everywhere! -Jackrabbit is a very fun little wooden coaster, with a tunnel! -If you try to get on the kiddy coaster, security WILL be called! -Bobselds is unique, and fun, but nothing thrilling. -Never underestimate a log flume! (this would happen again on this trip) I end this part with this poorly timed photo, to signify the end of my chances at at photo taking career. Darien Lake is next! The guy in the red shirt is more scared than the people riding! Now how often do you see a merry go round with rocking chairs? And red ones at that! Seabreeze bucks, authorized by Mr. Breezy himself! I really want to meet this breezy guy. You guys liked it, right......right? Bobselds, one of the strangest coasters even grown! Seriously, If you value you're stomach, which I think most people do, brace yourself on this ride! Whirlwind, a ride where you have an excuse to ride without your hands up! Music Express, one of the best himalayas I've been on. But the Theming was just off. The jukebox didn't work, and somebody had crashed their car into it! For some reason I took a picture of the swings. Maybe it was the inner child in me saying ride it, but I doubt that, because my inner child likes coasters and pizza! What park doesn't have a midway? Tony with his camera, which is a sight which would be seen may times. Many. As in every time you saw him! Jackrabbit, a fun coaster, but not as good as the real jack rabbit, kennywoods! The TPR gang descends upon seabreeze. Can it handle this crazy group of people?

How's it going fellow TPR'ers. .....That's great! I recently attended the TPR Behemoth/ Ravine Flyer II Trip, and had the time of my life! While we had everything from thunderstorms to power outages, a crazy amount of memories were formed. And some were captured on film! Over the next few posts, I'll be showing you what went down on this great trip. So lets begin! Part 1: The Crazy First Drive! (some notes) -There is no such thing as a long bus drive on a TPR trip! -McDonald's no camera policy really sucks, and the person who came up with it should be stuck on a vekoma for days straight! -Having three matts all sit in the same area can get quite confusing! -The muppet show reminded me how bad anything star wars can be out of the movies! Perplexed by the dollar Jesus! (Seabreeze coming soon!) Ehh.....no comment..... Elissa showing off a fry carton who really likes attention! And of corse where do you go on a break but McDonalds! (and perhaps Subway, BK, Arbys, or the dollar shop) Yes! Everybody is excited by the hour break! And Futurama!!! During our drive, we were entertained by interpretive dance, piano lessons, coaster videos... Our fearless leader doing his thing! Everybody's view for the next seven hours. Our very fruity chariot awaits!

Stanley made 2 of my top 3 movies, so of corse he is awesome! 2001 and A Clockwork Orange are flawless! It's very sad he was taken away from us to early But he left a great legacy!

Holy freaking crap! I have to say that the last six days have to have been the greatest six days of my life! Everything starting from the power outages, and ending with a crazy puppet show was amazing! Long bus drives were made amazingly fun by great people, and I most certainly met some great people on this trip! And I will never listen to Tainted Love the same way again! Seriously, every expatiation I had was extremely blown away! Ravine Flyer in the pitch dark, and thunderstorm, is the craziest coaster ride I have ever had! Thanks for everything guys, and cant wait for future trips! I'll be starting a photo TR soon! PS- ERT on the sauce factory ride was awesome!

Bounce- MSTRKRFT

A small, family operated park. My favorite type! Great pictures and report!

What's strange is when I was up there on the seventh, there were employees riding it. Maybe they were only riding certain parts, put there were people on it! So perhaps were close, but so far away!

That movie starts off with a huge explosion, to set the tone. This one starts with people walking across a field! If I remember correctly, the first one had several action scenes, culminating in an epic (to an extent) finale. This one has one action scene, period, and it's a small chase in the streets, on foot. And the finale, if you can call it that, just ended, when it was getting decent. I don't care if there is action in a movie, but this was fox's biggest movie of the summer, and it had nothing. The series had it's share of action. I think I need to re-watch the first movie today! The score was decent, nothing special, but it was great hearing the original theme on the big screen.

I sure hope they don't do that. Spiderman 3 anybody? All you need is one strong villain, and you're set! How many villains did spiderman 2 have? Batman? Fantastic Four...wait, bad example.

Oh god, I think I'm in heaven..... Or maybe I'm dreaming...someone pinch me..no scrap that, that would just be creepy... That cake's most likely extremely overpriced!

Combining pizza and a burger sounds like something that would never really work, but holy crap does that look tasty! My type of food! Now they just need to combine dippin dots and cake, and we will be good! (maybe they already did that, but I'm not sure ) Cant wait until part 2!

The X-Files: I want to Believe (that this is a movie!) I'm quite a fan of the series, and while I still need to catch up on the last season, I've seen most of the episodes. And that is what this movie was. An episode. And a good episode, but just an episode. When you bring a movie to the big screen, you need to go bigger, which is what the first movie did, but this one did not. They could have easily showed this on TV. Only two characters are back from the TV show, and I'm sure you know who they are. Acting is decent, but nothing special. I'll put it this way, there is only one action scene in the movie, and not a single explosion, so if you go in not expecting that stuff, you should enjoy it! 6/10

Ah, castles and coaster. The home of my first looping coaster. Brings back memories! Thanks for the TR! BTW- Completely agree on The Dark Knight! One of the years best!

Wow.......just wow! Those are some amazing pictures! The black and white one just blew me away! Keep up the great photography!

That looks like the best go-kart course ever! Period! Awesome photos and captions! To bad you didn't get a picture of the martians, or did you???
