First thing that came to me. Chris "I can do better" Connolly

No problem and I'm sorry if I offended you two guys. Pro Tip- The Internet isn't real Chris "hugs and kisses" Connolly

Seriously SETGO guys.. I could really use a wish right now... I mean your help.. please?

Can you help me with explicit instructions on how to jump over the fence and find the track? I keep looking for it, but I can't seem to find a fence that has roller coaster track inside it.. Location and instructions on how to phsyically climb over a fence would be a great help.. Thanks!

^^ LO effing L .. That should have been your first post G.. AMAZING

You beat me to it! I know that coaster all too well... It's not Superman Escape in Australia. Its trains have a slightly different front with no air holes. Storm Runner at Hersheypark on the other hand has a similar front. I'm thinking this photo was a reference to the Hersheys store from a few pages back. Stargate's marketing team are apparently huge fans of photoshop and intamin.

After looking at the pictures of Robb & Elissa skiing, I think they are in New Jersey at Zannadoo.

@Big Dipper80.. We've established (I think) that those photos are of Wonderland.. Which is a park inclusive to the dubai creek/ childrens city park area. Check out Dubai Daves trip reports and you can see the parking lot with the black and white lines on the curbs.

-Searching for Bin Laden now.. If he posted photo daily updates somewhere this would be much easier. @DubaiDave- You are kind of playing vicariously through me.. I've now seen all of your trip reports and they have been great help. Namaste. Chris "I did find waldo though" Connolly P.S. Send me photos of your lost dogs, relatives, or escaped prisoners. Since today is my day off, I should be able to find them by dinner time.

I'll answer your question in the form of a rap 1.My hunger pains are sticking like duct tape/ Let's hit up Magnolia and mack on some cupcakes. / No doubt that bakery's got all the bomb frostings. / I love those cupcakes like McAdams loves Gosling. 2. Bleeker Street in the Village. NYC For people speaking about the cashless payment system, Atlantis Resort @The Palms Island offers it as well. Which they clearly went to (look at the reflection of the dorway Elissa is standing in front of).

You went to StarGate.... The picture of elissa in front of some random doctored in intamin was taken outside on the fence of stargate 4 (source: a really small picture on the themepark guy site. The picture of that crazy green low slung entrance is stargate (rcdb).. The ride that dubai dave and elissa are sitting in with over the shoulder restraints is the originally named "roller coaster" which is a visa spinning coaster (rcdb). (sources: my mom, two fortune cookies, and my dog told me)

The difference between the two sets of pictures are that the first set was taken using an iphone 4 with HDR turned on, the other was taken with an iphone 4 with hdr turned off or a lesser camera phone (3gs or something worse). Also the red escalators lead up to adventureland.. as seen in the update before.

@bigdipper- Regarding the skyscrapers.. I felt the same way as you .. I don't know exactly where that ride is, but after a bunch of googling, I'm pretty sure its in shajar looking at dubai.. Google eye of the emirates and look at those photos.. I'd like to hear your ideas... @sspazz- Thats the same logic I've used to come to some of my guesses.. keep going!

pretty sure the aladdins in qatar was wrong.. and I'm thinking the snakes are actually in the sharj'ah mega mall.. the eye of the emirates coaster was just a guess based on the skyline.. probably a few more.. also can't promise you've been to sega republic yet either. I think that abandoned theme park is somewhere in shari'ah and very tough to use the internet to research (the one I thought was aladdin).. Also I spent a good 15 minutes trying to figure out the buildings in the first couple pics.. (assuming they were in shajar or qatar or even oman and I found a couple that looked like sharjar but others looked like dubai). So I didn't guess on those pics.

Seriously guys.. I go to theme parks and don't even know the name of the coasters there. Ask about me..I'm going on my second TPR trip and I don't even know all of the parks we are going to.. So yeah.... I believe in all of you! Also. I've realized that at least two of my guesses are completely wrong.. So, please don't take what I say as gospel.. It definitely isn't.

C'mon TPR.. I'd like to hear your guesses! please?

Here is a complete guess.. The Whackey Worm, in one of the top pictures is located at the base of, or near to, The Eye of The Emirates ferriswheel. I'm basing this guess on the skyline view seen behind Elissa in the picture as well as the pavement patterns matching the area around the Eye of the Emirates.

I also believe they went Antic's Land. For two reasons.. Dubaidave went to both during a trip report and they are relatively close, but my main reason is that the picture of the guy holding the crystal ball that robb is standing next to, closely matches their mascott.. http://www.anticsland.com/ Edited to say that the figaro's pizza (you bake sign) is also located in the mega mall.

Another indicator they went to adventureland is adventure land has a ride called asteroids that matches the drawing in the third (?) picture. http://www.adventureland-sharjah.com/ Click thrill rides then click asteroids

You went to Sharjah and probably Adventure land because the McDonalds matches the one posted in Dubai Daves trip report. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21154&p=108890#p108890

I'm sure you went to the dubai mall, as a google search shows the only Fujiyama in Dubai there.. I believe you went to Sega Republic because,the picture that says "dino dash" looks to either be from a video/redemption game the manufacturer has confirmed is there or alternatively it might be a sign from the "Wild tours" ride.. As the lettering style is similiar. I believe the snake pictures are from the creepie crawlers floor of the Dubai aquarium which is also located in the dubai mall. Figured this out after reading as much as I could about the dubai mall.
