sfne2005 Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Just got in from another great TPR trip. Funny thing about being away for two weeks is that I didn't have to do much laundry as I received my lost luggage 8 days after the trip started just prior to leaving for Germany Thanks to those people who helped me along the way (Rich, Mel, Robb and Larry for the Superglue) oh and the orange shirt people for their support. Though I took over 700 pics, I will leave you with a few pics of people having fun, doing crazy things and pretty pictures of rides (mostly coasters with trees). So I saw a postcard of Ground Hog the ride in the shop and tried to take the same shot. It is also so hard to capture a pic. When you see it pop up out of the ground, you snap a pic. It reminds me of a ground hog. Don't let the fanboys kid you. It may look like Nemesis, but in no way is the ride intesity the same. Nemesis >> BM. Black Mamba is like a top 40 pop song. The more you are exposed to it, the more you like it. Troy, TROY! If anyone out there has this song on MP3, PM me please. Lougina, taken by Lougina herself. I love you Lou. I do really like EG though. It's a solid #4 on my list. The park treated us really nice as well. Except for when they tried to kick me and Emo off for voting SRoS higher in the polls. The drop is probably the best part of the ride. But the same can be said about Millenium Force. Ohh, I just compare EG to MF, ouch! Wash, rinse, repeat. I like this picture. Right click, set as wallpaper. Even JamminJ knows the truth. But I am not sure why James is smiling..... Wow, two smiles in this picture. Oh I know why, because they are riding the number TWO steel coaster in the world. SRoS SFNE > EG. Oh wait, they don't exist, so I'll post one of my own I want to see those Hoffman girl photos Mike! Hey Piers, I see your bald spot from up here. I can't decide if I like Christobel or Chrisderella better. Big Mike pic #3. High five from the lift hill! "Oh crap, I know I sent that train full of TPR members!" Would you believe Joe actually made it? I think he got an internship filing papers for Mercedes Benz. Ooh, more Big Mike pics! I mean, just look at Ed's hair! (just kidding Ed) Loved this coaster. Why can't someone build one that is just a drop and all of these bunny hills? There is so much airtime over these..... You had to be there to understand....but it was a reinactment of a cigarette warning. I believe Jeff Johnson smoked that same cigarette without him knowing it Man of many faces..... Superman rocked even though it was themed to a desert in the middle of a field outside the park. Its so purty here in Spain. I me, over there in Spain. I had such high expectation of this ride. I ended up liking Vampire in LaRonde way better. But the theming was amazing. Panthers on the kiddie....you dirty Hoares. I guess the yellow hat club took this ride over. The ever so elusive Karl finally caught on tape. BIG MIKE pics! Hope this counts to the tally. Eliot looks 5 years old, Steve must be cocked here, and wtf is JamminJ looking at? Nice pot shirt James. An uncommon sight nowadays. 1) seeing Robb and Elissa ride together and 2) the look of total apathy of riding. I think they were all paparazzied out by the time I took this pic. Terra Mitica could sure use more of these, and I am not talking about the SLC. ERT on Synkope < ERT on the closed Ball Coaster I'll leave this one to your imagination. Which is apparantly contagious since I would never do something like this in any other group. Mandatory TPR sillyness. I love the look on the girl's face standing behind Robb. Exclusive shot #2 of the super insane kick you in the balls airtime hill. Exclusive shot #1 exiting launch tunnel. It's TOP! Since we spent almost 4 weeks in Portaventura, I have a bunch of pics from this place...so here are some of FURIUS Baco. Piers offering Mel a piece of candy. And this ride kicked butt at night. Dragon Khan > Kumba. Woah, Elissa smiles for the camera, Moose is, um, creeping me out, Dave is thinking 50 ways of how to kill the ride op and Kyle totally ruined this pic. (Don't forget I want the onride of this ride please!) Yellow hat club queen and party boy mixing it up outside of Tomahawk. How's your camera Ryan? One of these four had a blood alcohol content lower than .08 and its not Steve. This was on the TV one night accompanied by the song.....its an inside joke, sorry. Maybe John is the reason I had a string of bad luck on this trip....you broke me you beyotch! Abismo had the best merchandise of the trip......the orange shirt! Buy two cervesas and get this crazy hat. Accent not included. Emoboy smiles like a frog while riding the one of kind kiddie. Hair matches the train too. Dave and Mary flaunting the fact we are in Parque Attracciones Madrid and the public isn't. Not a great picture by any means while in line for Taratula, but one of my goals is to put as many pics of Steve in as possible Turtle humping in spain. So there ya go...from the drop tower in stupid observation mode Isla Magica...I know, it'd be better with a train in it.
Canobie Fan Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 blah blah blah..... Canobie "Still bagless" Fan
sfne2005 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Posted July 14, 2007 Oops, I forgot one. Elissa having some Emo love on Troy. I want to know, is she grabbing his tongue?

Louise Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Great pics Rich!! Yay for the smoking bellybutton, I'd forgotten about that!!
MrMorgan Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Hey! I like your comparison Black Mamba=Groundhog. I can't tell you how many times I got my video camera out to shoot some footage, and then when they train came, it was from the opposite direction as I was pointing my camera. Know what I mean? I swear, Black Mamba can change directions just to fool you.
dandaman Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Lou's expression >> Robb's re-enactment. Great pics, Rich!
