TexTitan01 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Cool TR. I thought it was Chang, but when did you go down thru Knetucky? because I saw airport pics in the beginning, unless you were picking up your parents. I've always wanted to goto wisconsin dells, Avalanche looks like my kind of woodie; I loooove me some speed and wicked airtime . Actually, I like all wooden coasters And you drove by Holiday World AND Beech Bend on your way back? Thats terrible...If it was me and my family driving, we wouldave never made it home.

Yeah we drove back with my folks.
Golfie Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Nice photo TR! We could've met up at one of the parks! It looks like you guys all had a great time. You only landed on the plane about 15 minutes away from my house. Andrew "I still haven't been to Mt. Olympus!" C.
coaster_maniac Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 THAT'S BRADLEY in that picture!! he's one of my 2 favorite SFGAm employees!!!!
Rollerholden Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 ... but life is not all about coasters....isn't it? Yes it is! That was a great TR Erik! You took so many good phorographs! I'm glad you found a nice "replacement trip".
Bob O Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Excellant report!!! The house on the Rock is a cool place to visit with a great selection of odd stuff, we always enjoy feeding money into the musical machines.
Erik Johnson Posted August 15, 2006 Author Posted August 15, 2006 Wow! Those signs and lines at Great America look really familiar! You must have gone just about the same time I did. Let's see, August 6-12? Yes we went to SFGam on the 7th. It was a Monday.
mr_teisco_delrey Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Awsome Kringle shots!!!! Sure brought the Dane out in me. My family was also from Racine. Like you, a Kringle fix is a must when visiting cousins and aunts in Racine. As for Chicago baseball, $cr#w the Cubs. GO WHITE SOX!!!
bgwfreak Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Awesome TR! And I thought I took a lot of pics. So did you not stop by Beech Bend? Rumbler is a great little coaster.
Guest Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 You Know whats weird? I live in Chicago and i've never been to the top of the sears tower . Man I gotta go soon.
pkdcoaster Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 How in Gods name do you drive by those awesome new credits. I know your arms were shaking going by the exits haha. Nice pics as always.

Wanted in a suspected plot to derail trains and kill millions of americans, take his shampoo!!!
MollyG Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Great TR, Eric! That House on the Rocks is something, isn't it? Definitely sensory overload but a must see. Looking forward to your video to see if it does it better justice than photos, but have a feeling you just have to go there to take it all in. MollyG
ECZenith Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I am also somewhat of a train/trolley enthusiast I suppose so I really enjoyed your non-theme park photos as well. I've yet to see even a mediocre TR from you, another one well done!
ryboe yo Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 AND THE AWARD FOR THE LONGEST AND MOST "WHEN DOES THIS END??" MEMBER MADE TRIP REVIEW GOES TO!!......... THIS ONE!!!! (i forgot the name of what i was commenting) great job...uh....people
Jack57 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 That was probably the best TR i've ever seen! Great job! This should have a ACE award for "longest trip report on Theme Park Review." P.S., where'd you get the TPR bag?

At least we are planning to hit those parks next year.

shesaidboom Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Awesome TR as always. I'm jealous that both Deja Vu and the red side of American Eagle were running while you were at SFGam. I must've picked a bad time to go since it seems that every SFGam TR posted recently has Deja Vu running
TheStig Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Thats the very same white castle that made me famous, right on Erik, right on... Colin C
arrowfanman Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Great trip report as always! As I can adult daipers, I can always depend on a good Johnson trip report! They're entertaing, informative, and well composed. -Jahan
