PTR: Knoebels, KD & Busch Gardens

[cfc]

Hmm--Steve raises a very interesting point.

[sfne2005]

Ok peckahs....

You're right about not loving Knoebels. So what. But I do like KD, just not the wooden coasters much. BGE I really like. Apollos Chariot is great, Alpengeist is fine, Griffon is the shitz, Lochness is cool. So

^Just pulling your chain, officer. No need for the pepper spray . . . aghh!

[Guy T. Koepp]

Very funny TR! It looks like you all had a great time. Even with all the coaster hatin' going on.

 

Rich, you and James are like the Felix Unger & Oscar Maddison of the coaster world. Funny, funny stuff.

[larrygator]

^more like the Al and Peggy Bundy of TPR

[cfc]

^A coaster-enthusiast version of The Odd Couple could be pretty damn funny, Guy.

Wait a minute...I think I saw you guys there on Monday. I was working at Ranger Smith's Jeep Tours by Treasure Cave. I only noticed Canobie Fan though...I was wondering if it was him or not and I think it was. I think you guys actually went into Treasure Cave?

[sfne2005]

^Um, no...you didn't see us on Monday since we were back in Mass. Maybe you were daydreaming of Canobiefan like many other canobiefanboys out there

 

Thanks Guy, I would definately be the Oscar of the pair. And those of you with kind comments, I thank you...you too Corkey.

Maybe you're thinking of Saturday?

mmm Griffon, looks like an awesome trip, never been to Knoebels either. Thanks for sharing cant wait to hit up my parks down the road!

[DaveH80]

How was the floorless feature? I loved Sheikra as it was...so I'm curious if being floorless added anything else with Griffin...especially as Sheikra will now be that way. I like the 2 Immelmans Griffon has, the one on Sheikra was alot of fun alone, so 2 must have been sweet.

[cfc]

^The floorless trains on Griffon really do add something to the ride. It's a weird sensation to be floating over the access stairs when you're sitting on the outside heading up the lifthill. I think they'll be an asset to Sheikra, too.

[DaveH80]

That sounds cool, I plan to head down there this summer and ride it!

[pkd804]

Yeah, It might have been Saturday...I can't remember.

[sfne2005]

Yeah, It might have been Saturday...I can't remember.

 

Well if you think it was Saturday.....

Then here we are just prior to entering the Treasure Cave and almost leaving Canobiefan behind! Thanks Chuck for the photo.

[xproxmetalxheadx]

Wow Griffon wants to make me get up and go!!!! I rode Volcano for the first time on thursday, it was awesome!! I was yelling and cussing through the whole ride!!

[sfne2005]

James,

have you noticed the results so far of the poll???? Though not overwhelming, still a majority

[Canobie Fan]

All it shows is that 100 people DONT know the color black when they see it

 

 

 

Canobie "MY HAT IS BLACK! Fan

[redfoot12]

I voted black, James. But that was because I temporarily forgot which one of you was "James".

[Guy T. Koepp]

This is BLACK!

 

This is YOUR HAT.

 

Deal with it!

How long ago were those first two photos? Circa 2002? I will give you the fact that the hat was, at one time, black. However, now, it is a difinititive color of brown. Look at that last photo. Your hat is the same color as the wood pannel closet behind you.

 

The poll was, "What color is James hat?"

Not, "What color was James hat at one time when it was new, hadn't been washed a zillion times, sun faded, ridden hard and put away wet.

 

It is now dog shit brown.

 

Deal with it!
