JimmyBo Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Well, I decided to leave my video camera at home (he's been very bad lately) and steal my friends digital camera. This is my first photo trip report and I usually only carry a video camera so this picture taking thing was new to me. This is the awesome goodness that is SFMM with TPR peeps and a kick @$$ party afterwards. I'll let the photos speak for themselves, Enjoy! Part 1: Again, left side...totally weird No one has every seen or ever taken this picture of Viper...and I mean NO ONE! Well, Batman was stuck on the lift hill but John's not here....... interesting Wow look at the view. And note Casey putting his stuff down because Ryan is about to get tackled! So how many people can we fit in the elevator? Not enough.....it didn't turn into a freefall ride and some of use were sad Next we all headed to the Sky Tower to see Casey tackle Ryan at the highest point of the park WTF? The left side is running? I've never been on the left side before So we all heard that Superman was running so some of us ran up the hill to it...some walked and some had to be carried Weeeeeeeeee......... Goofy face? Check. Signature Move? Check. Doing Batman? Check This is Derick...he's special Next was Buttman...running very fast today Riddle me this...what minor just pounded the Riddler? Other than it totally crushing your balls, Riddler's is a graet ride and still my favorite in the park Kristie and I goin up zee lift hill Next was Riddler's Revenge...and again, one train wait Vertical Loop Goodness! Derick's happy now Then we all ran to Deja Vu. One train wait + Casey being able to ride = awesome After the awesome ride on Tatsu, some of us collect our Flashpasses from Elissa who was so nice to give up a ride on Tatsu and get those passes for us. Yay, Tatsu through the trees So we all run to Tatsu as the gates open and most of us got on the first couple of trains For those of you that don't know...this is Bugs and you have to wait till he gives a thumbs up before you can enter the park. Why? Cuz he's Bugs...duh This guy is sad and pathetic. Almost as bad as Barry but don't worry Barry Hom, you still hold the trophy on being totally sad and pathetic And what better thing to be welcomed to than $15 for parking. Want me to bend over now? Finally after two accidents, LA traffic, a ticket, I arrive at Six Flags I guess it's against the law to sing in your car during traffic in LA. Booooo ticket! One thing I do to make time go by, Car Karaoke Yay, everyone loves LA traffic! Especially when an accident closes three of four lanes...WooHoo! So this is where I'm headed from San Diego, or as Ron Burgundy calls it "Whales Va......" you know the rest
JimmyBo Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 Part 2: Fanboys and Fangirls welcome! And here we are waiting for Joe...cuz he loves his Schwarzkopfs so much Vertical Loop....AAHHHH!!!!! Through the trees makes it look so fast...but it's not. Banana Coaster is better and poor Joe had to settle with Revolution Revolution, it's an ACE thing or something or other So no Goliath Jr. credit...what about teh kiddie playhouse? Casey almost got in but after telling the employee that he was taller than her on his knees, she wasn't amused and kicked him out Little did she know, Kristie was about to get yelled at for sitting sideways Hey, at least Casey got this credit About that much So how much leg room does Casey have in the huge canyon blaster cars? Next up, Canyon Blaster...is that a ketchup bottle in the front seat? Looks like Goliath JR. conquered Casey...until next time "Don't piss off a 6'8" UCLA basketball player" Then some employee from the petting zoo came over and started laughing...she was a true Casey fangirl After the ride op said Casey could ride after he stood up, the ride op changed his mind Begging and pleading to ride the kiddie coaster Up the stairs on his knees and still over the height limit And now it's time for Casey to conquer Goliath Jr. Helix of doom, death, and occasional "black-outtage" Going up zeee lift hill This is Goliath, it's tall and fast and people black out So the Alvey's left us and we all headed to Goliath (after munching down on Turkey legs and sushi) Yep there it is...the look of someone in extreme pain (while Kristie is braiding her hair in the background) First drop of total death and doom and extreme pain ahead This is Derick...yep...he's still special Goofy face? Check. Signature move? Check. Doing Colossus? Check. Kristie and the vertical loopage Yay first drop signature shot! Going up zeee lift hill Next was SCREAM!!!!! AAHHHH!!!!!!! Weeeee.....through the trees and getting sprinkled on by mysterious water Goofy face? Check. Signature move? Check. Doing Ninja? Check. Next up was Ninja.....HiYA
darklingscribe Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Awsome. It looks like everyone was had a great time. I'm sad that that I couldn't make it. How was the DVD of the UK trip?
JimmyBo Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 I ain't done yet Part 3: More goodness This is X, he's been a bad coaster and been put on timeout and no one is allowed to ride him. Finally on Viper and why not make the last two ride and two most painful rides in the park But thanks to a restraint getting stuck open...it was only one train operation Next and last ride of the day...Viper! Why are these people smiling on this ride...IT HURTS!!!! Just kidding, it's not the oldest but sure as hell feels like it as you can tell from my wonderful face of "I'm in extreme pain!" This is Psyclone...the oldest ride in the park Good advice No comment except........ Couple things in this shot...notice the big blot of water on the lens thanks to Casey for splashing us with water> Notice Ninja in the background (you're excited). What you dont know is that we got yelled at for rocking the boat and splashing Jet Stream...Flashpasses are the shizzle But at least you can still drink a beverage on the ride Casey had trouble with keeping his feet in...when you have to sit sideways, you need leg room Gold rusher...keep your arms, legs, limbs, feet, and any other body part you may not want to lose inside at all times But yay...We rode Tatsu again. Great ride and an interesting fact from our sad and pathetic guy in the beginning...it has the worlds largest preztel loop on any coaster of it type! Someone was top of their class And we saw this line...yay. About 50min wait for Flashpass for Tatsu mainly because the ride ops need help...serious help So we decide to go back up to Tatsu and use our Flashpasses
JimmyBo Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 Part 4: Party Time! Thanks again to everyone that made it out and to Robb and Elissa for planning an awesome day I want to thank Robb and Elissa and everyone else that made it out...I had an awesome time and I bet everyone else did And there ya go...Kristie or as only some of you know her as "The Hoffman Girl" I leave you fanboys out there with these next two pictures...no comment needed Well, Ryan was actually pushed...and tackled...and thrown...and jumped in the pool After food, some of us jump in the pool Casey, Tackle Derick! Jeff is special cuz he spilled his dessert everywhere...way to go Jeff, way to go This is Jeff Johnson a.k.a. too many nicknames I don't feel like writing Come on Chris...you know you want Casey's pepper... Here's the real party Chicken Wings: "Oh No, no now" Fire Sauce: "Yes, another victim" Someone's stomach later: "Oh god, WHY!!!!" I'm the angry cook that's about to make firey @$$ exploding wings...ARRGGG FOOD!!!! WHo's first in line? CARL!!! Who's ready to party!!!!
CoasterCrazy Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks for posting the pictures! It looks like everyone had fun.
Carnage Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Looked like a great time. Wish I could have been there. I hear Ryan was bleeding at one point? And pics of that?
TheStig Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Somebody needs to tell her that she has the gum rotting disease called GINGAVITUS!!!! Nice PTR, the party looked fun! Hopefully Ill make it to one in the future, I better start walking now... Colin C
robbalvey Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 LOL! Yeah, I loved the various different colors of plastic dracula teeth Elissa was able to score! --Robb
gisco Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 You have my approval on the pics you posted of the Hoffman girl, unlike some people who will remain nameless ....... Derek!!!!!!!
pvcoasterguy Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 ^ LOL... Nice TR! There can never be enough TR's of the Alvey meets/parties. They are always entertaining.
kennywood!007 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Awesome pictures! You got some great pics from SFMM. And the party looks like loads of fun.
ParkTrips Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 You have my approval on the pics you posted of the Hoffman girl, unlike some people who will remain nameless ....... Derek!!!!!!! lol, awesome Nice report 8)
Golfie Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Woah... the Alveys have a pretty sweet house. I wish I could'a gone. What did you do with all the 13-year olds? Lock them in the closet? I see none there. Andrew "Pretty sweet house smells FUNNNY!" C.
ParkTrips Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 That's not actually where they live! It's the community center sort of place for their appartment complex. Also I think the party was 14-or-so + unless you had a guardian.. anyone have a photo of 5 of us squeezing into the living room?
TheStig Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 anyone have a photo of 5 of us squeezing into the living room? Lol that reminds me of something, we took a fieldtrip to this science place and they had a phone booth there. We crammed 9 of us in it, it was awsome, then one of my friends puked. Colin C
robbalvey Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Andrew "Pretty sweet house smells FUNNNY!" C. Why do you keep saying our house smells funny?
TheStig Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Maybe he left you a present in the sink or something, just a guess. Colin C
jamesdillaman Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Robb, You probably get used to the smell, as you live there... Just a thought -James Dillaman
DerekRx Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I didn't smell anything out of the ordinary at the Alvey home. Cept for maybe the smell given off from blank DVDs and the such. Smells much better than my current hiding spot, that's for sure! But I gotta stay clear of the rampaging Hoffman Girl's dad!
Golfie Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Andrew "Pretty sweet house smells FUNNNY!" C. Why do you keep saying our house smells funny? BeCAUSE!!! When I got my T-Shirt, DVD, and pen, they all smelled funny. Since the last place they were was your house, they probably smell the way your house did... So therefore, your house smells funny. In a good, fresh sorta way. Andrew "I'll stop now" C.
CoasterFanatic Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Pretty sweet house smells FUNNNY! It might be your upper lip.
