Token Yankee Guy Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Hey guys, finally got home in Connecticut with a internet connection so now I gotta sort through well over 200 photos of the trip since both Kyle and I took a lot of photos. Saturday - Knoebels Saturday morning I picked up Kyle at Bradley International, then after a quick Stop & Shop run, we headed straight down to Knoebels for PPP where we camped for one night and had a blast with Danny, Kristen (I got it right this time!), Kip, Neil, and another guy. Quick Highlights of PPP - Amazing PPP this year - 14 consecutive circuit runs on High Speed Thrill Coaster - PPP Pizza was amazing! I wasn't disgusted by it this year. Now onto the photos Heading into Bradley Interational Airport to pick up Kyle Somewhere on I-84 Westbound in New York heading out to Knoebels Driving through Scranton, PA (Wooo, The Office is based here) Kyle says hello After setting up our tent, we went right over to Knoebels Flying Turns is really coming along great Section of track for Flying Turns Flying Turns Continued Mmmmm, that looks like it's going to be a sweet ride Another shot of Flying Turns Wooo, I'm up and close with Flying Turns People signing the boards of wood Me signing the wood I left my mark on Flying Turns Kyle also signing the board Heading up the Skyride Everyone all together now "Awwwwww" On the decent of the skyride Looking down at Twister, Phoenix, and the rest of Knoebels We ran into the Neil. Uh-Oh, Kyle is scared of the pending ride in the Haunted House He was scared, awwww Pizza at Knoebels. OMG, they rebounded soo much since last year. The group from left to right, Danny, Me, Kyle, Kristen, and Kip Typical Phoenix shot of Knoebels The zombie lady (Who's a third grade teacher) hitted on Neil. Danny, Kristen, and Neil just wuv Pheonix The "Coaster Zombies" group was the greatest costumed coaster group that were at PPP Kyle and I Granny did not share her delicious food that was cooking in the station of Twister. Group shot Our group owned at the Flyers, they had to slow the ride down because we were all snapping. STRONG BAD! It isn't a Knoebels PTR without me sexing up the north pole. I wonder where Danny and Kristen learned how to pole dance Group Shot #2 Zombie got me tangled in her chains Typical hand slappage on Pheonix Ted was "Fat Bat" "I'm Fat Bat! I'm too heavy so I can't swing from building to building....so I just ride coasters to get my thrills" Sneak attack photo of the group in the station for Phoenix The clown seems happy for some reason Another great costume Me and the drag queen With high heels and amazing leg warmers Time for our 14 lap run on High Speed Thrill Coaster. Yes, it wasn't planned. The ride-op, just kept it on full speed and we went around 14 times. He almost fried the engine for doing it, so the next people in line sadly only got 8 laps. Kyle loves High Speed Thrill Coaster Going over the top of the lift hill Kyle and one of the peeps that hung out with us (I sadly forgot his name) on Power Surge Kristen and Neil on Power Surge We got our own car on the train Personal shot of myself on the train Typical Evening shot of Knoebels I wish I could drive a boat Kyle in line for Phoenix Sneak attack photo of Danny Sneak attack photo of Neil Kristen, Kyle, and Neil again in line for Pheonix Kyle attempting to start our campfire which failed sadly. and a shot of the flyers at night.
Token Yankee Guy Posted October 10, 2006 Author Posted October 10, 2006 Sunday - Six Flags Great Adventure After having a terrible night of sleeping, we got up at 6:30am and started driving out to Six Flags Great Adventure. Now, I found some posts that stated that the weekend before us was dead and the friday before sunday was dead. However! Sunday was really packed, even Rolling Thunder had a friggin line (at least 45 minutes). We were at the park from 10:15 - 6:30pm and we only managed to get four rides in, Kingda Ka, Log Flume, Nitro, and El Toro. Now for Photos. Walking into SFGAdv Hmmm, I guess every fountain is red oooo, the circus... Typical Kingda Ka photo I'm so enthusiastic about waiting for 2hours for Kingda Ka Kyle is also enthusiastic A train launching on Kingda Ka Crap, well I'm in the wrong line. Rolling Thunder and El Toro The line for El Toro went to the right and around the corner Mmmmm, very good taco salad I love taco salad's He's Back! Just like the Backstreet Boys What's a log flume? I've never seen one at SFNE Kyle almost got breast attacked by me Clown: I love children; come kiddies, I got candy and a merry-go-round, and Michael Jackson the girls of Driving Force are advertising new makeup mmmm, a train running like glass on El Toro
Token Yankee Guy Posted October 10, 2006 Author Posted October 10, 2006 Monday - Six Flags New England On Monday morning, we headed out early from my Nana's house to drive 4 hours from Pennsylvania back up to Connecticut so we could go to Six Flags New England. Of course we were an hour late in getting there because we were having printer issues at home so I had to borrow my neighbors printer. Of course we had to make a WAWA!! pit-stop off US-202 in New Jersey Representing New England Quick stop at the homestead of the Yankee Entering Agawam, MA. From that point, it's 1000feet to SFNE. Kyle on the tram My sister, Erica also on the tram And of course, me Decending into the entrance plaza for SFNE A few closed attractions at the park today Feels like Christmas the Main Street of SFNE is always decorated as The Graveyard for the park. Part of the graveyard Woooo! James got me some Rice Candy. I love Rice Candy James met up with us at SFNE I love the "Some Assembling Required" for the hot dogs at SFNE Erica loves the soggy french fries James and Erica love Cyclone soo much, they started climbing the structure Kyle: Are you guys tricking me into riding the back seat of Cyclone? Erica: Of course not. *thinking to self: hell yeah* Yeah, there was a line for Great Chase...But hey, we got two laps out of it without getting off. Pandemonium had a line... So we got in the "Single Riders" line Kyle and James about to get off Pandemonium Rockville, USA is turned into Roswell's "Area 51" haunted area SFNE relocated this sign so that it points towards Splash Water Falls entrance than Poland Springs Plunge old entrance. I heard that Thunderbolt should be getting some paint for the 2007 season The Red Train is on the storage track. I found out they actually rotate every season in using the two trains. Group photo in the station of Superman: Ride of Steel The girl had such a deer in headlights expression on her face. Walking out the exit of SFNE. Ok, I'm done now, you guys can post.
