coasterrider1998 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well this summer I traveled on to ThrillCoaster Tours for the summer. A camp that inspires young people to have a good time traveling the country and staying in a safe enviorment. Although we did have the Best Director, the best part about it was the other campers. I felt like I was in a TPR group. So with out further adu...here are the pics! Day 1 and 2: Let's Try To Get Some Sleep! From Left Tor Right: Steve (Enthusiast); Becca (Crazy Woman); Justin (Enthusiast) Becca and Steph are telling the coaster papparratzi to stay away. Since we went to this mall in Flordia, we found this awesome escalator ride...! Although this one didn't have the fancy lights. Damn! WhooHoo! A Bus as a mobile home for the next two weeks. High Five!(We did stay in hotels though) Yeah, we were that tired. YAY! Kraken from our hotel...we spent 30 mins just trying to get a good angle. 3 Enthusiasts, 1 Room...The possibilities are endless! Me... after a 21 hour bus ride! See the red sweatshirt, she actually followed orders when we said jump. Just Kidding! MORE TO COME! /Cr98\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shavethewhales Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 And where was this when I was a kid? The only trip my parents ever sent me on was to boy scout camp.... Quite an odd concept for a, erm, whatever it is... but I would have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I looked at the camp on their website. It looks pretty expensive. How did you raise the money to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterCrAzY505 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 ^Honestly i dont know since my mom is a single mother...I paid for $500 but I am breakin our bank this year...I'm goin on the midwest and Cali trips ! With everything you get the camp is totally worth it. You stay in extremely nice hotels, eat at nice resturants and honestly I have some great new friends (sounds cheesey i know). If you could go I would definately reccomend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillcoman Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi, My name is Ira Gordon, and I am the president of ThrillCoaster tours. This tour was created for people who love to go to amusement parks, and spend the entire day riding different roller coasters. People come to us from all over the country to experience this tour. We are traveling to California this year to go to SFMM before it possibly closes down. We have an arrangement for anyone who is coming from outside of the area where I house them with a family of a participant on the tour for the weekends during the tour. Please consider before we sell out!!!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could go I would definately reccomend it! I SOOOOOOOO wanna go. But I can't. I wanted to go on the 'Get to the Point' Tour because 1)It was the cheapest 2)It was cedar point 3)mmm. Chocolate I showed my mom and the FIRST THING SHE SAID was "There is no way in hell you can go on that! I'm not paying $1200 for you to go ride roller coasters." I told her that if she can help me, I can raise the money. But she won't. Oh yeah, she's a single mom too, and she spent all her money on me and my sister for Christmas.

coasterrider1998 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Continuing On.... We left IOA for the day and spent the night at our hotel talking about the awesome day. We gathered up our credit counts and went to sleep. Waking up to... Day 4: USO and amazing airtime. Uinversal! Oh man Robb never bring Dan in here. Ok I'll tell you about the airtime now. I was sitting in the back row on ROTM and when we were launching out of the tunnel I recived so many neg G's. It was awesome. Even more skyline! More Skyline! We are probably walking to E.T. right now. Universal Skyline or Midway. Let us take a moment to remember... ok done. This shot is awesome and MIB: Alien Attack was too. Jaws! AGGGHHH That is the definition of bad driving skills. So Scott and Jesus how do you feel about going on ROTM? Greatest Themed Ride in Universal.

FLIPDUDE Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 uhm... as a person that has been on ROTM in CA, I must ask... how the heck does being in the back row during the launch give you airtime?? its a single car, going through a flat, horizontal movement?

KrakenKing Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 The Mummy at USF is an inclined launch like The Hulk, but at the end of the launch, instead of going into an inversion, it dives down into a drop and into a turn, giving airtime. Going over the crest of the hill you're going about 25-30mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going over the crest of the hill you're going about 25-30mph. Oh. Technically the most airtime should still be at the front row, though. I was confused because the mummy at california has a regular, horizontal launch, followed by an elevated banked turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrider1998 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Both Rides differ. ROTM at USO does give a lot of airtime at the top of the crest. It was sorta 1/3 floater and 2/3 ejector. It was midly strong. But I can't make comparsions but I will know which one is better next year when I got to Cali and make another huge photo TR! Day 5 Comming Soon! /Cr98\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
