niiicolaaah Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Funny, Rich, that's what I thought when reading your UK trip report last year! Why don't you give him a chance to post the rest of his pics before you judge? Maybe you'll find them a bit more interesting.
ParkTrips Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Jesus got laid in the tomb? It must not have been good which is why he left the chick after 3 days...

Rugged One Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 HA! We were flipping through the Carnival Stripper book there in the sellers room. Definitely some *ahem* interesting stuff in there. Nice pics of driving through the park. It was definitley an added perk of the event.
bulldogmom Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks for the pics- looks like a good time. The Holy Place looks totally creepy- so does the pic of the naked Ferris wheel for some reason. I laughed out loud on the "table sex" photo! (now we know how tables are made)

Why don't you give him a chance to post the rest of his pics before you judge? Maybe you'll find them a bit more interesting. Come on Nicole, you know you meant to say "that's what I thought too"! Besides, I was just giving Jimmy a hard time. Funny you'd be sticking up for him though Oh, and I never did a UK trip TR
Jayjay719 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Parks look creepy in the offseason! Thanks for the pics though. I'm looking forward to the LC.org tour that I will be attending. Maybe my first photo trip report??
Canobie Fan Posted March 5, 2007 Author Posted March 5, 2007 I'm looking forward to the LC.org tour that I will be attending. I'll also be on that tour. But im kinda mad its the same day that SFNE opens this year!... Guess I'll have to hit SFNE after the tour :-\(Been to the 05 and 06 LC.org tours as well.)
Guest Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I'll be there too... I did 06's and it was a lot of fun. I'm also probably heading over to SFNE afterwards for a few hours...
crazyrider06 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Nice pictures, hope it wasnt too cold for you, looked like they still had snow there. Thanks for sharing!

I'm looking forward to meeting you. It's my first tour so I'm looking forward to it.
gmoney422 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I don't know what's scarier...Holy Land USA or that creepy park in Egypt, Fantazy Land !!! G "I guess Holy Land closed during their Fright Fest" Money
Nrthwnd Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 ^ Well, isn't it nice to know, there's enough creepy dead (or near dead, alo Egypt?) parks to go 'round for everybody in this little ole world of ours!!! Even Holy Land couldn't cut it by the mid-80's hmmm? Sad. Thanks for (shudder) sharing first part, and the NorEaster get-together.
apollo210 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Ok, I'm bumping this topic (if two days counts as bumping). Thanks James for giving me nightmares until I forget about unHoly Land. The whole place looks creppy and all of this 'Jesus is with you" stuff is crepping me out! Well nice photos of Lake Compost, a park that is going to be closed if I decided to go to it this Octobor. -Stephen "Am I sure I want to meet up with you at Canobie's opening day"M PS: I'm pretty sure the Lake opens a Halloween event yet the website doesn't mention a thing about it. Well does it hold an Octobot event?
Guest Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 The usually run all the rides on the weekends till like 11, and Haunted Graveyard till 12 in October. If you do go, I suggest you stay for some nightrides on Dash, as that's when it really runs amazing.
FlyingScooter Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Looks like someone used the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch on HolyLand. great pics
