coastercrazed49 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Nice Pictures you guys. Meteor looks like a good family coaster. I have never been to that park is it very big? Wow that Toboggan ride looks insane and dangerous. Keep it up.
jimbobcoaster Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Man, this trip looks so amazing! I really hope I can get on one of these sometime, they look like such a blast! Im jealous of you all
TexTitan01 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Great report, Robb; I really enjoyed Little Ammericka, even though it was only meant to be a surprise bonus park on the way to the Dells, I had alot of fun. That toboggan though....it scarred me (ohhh...the SQUISHING...) Again, great TR; I cant wait to see how the rest of them come out!
Spookbaby Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Man, lucky TJ!!! I'd like to "clench and squish" with Casey any day!!! Of course, I might have to fight off his harem...
Guest Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 The park was really small but pretty cool. The RollOPlane is really really fun (one of my favorite flats now). I also spent some time talking to one of the park maintenence people, who said he learned a lot from building Meteor and it will help going into a project as big as Comet (for those of you who don't know, Little A-Merrick-A purchased the train from the Lincoln Park Comet to be used on a full size replica of the ride). Speaking of, he also mentioned he just pulled out the Comet train to see what it really needs, so I will definitely try to return when they build that.
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Nice pics Robb! Good to see you are doing the updates again! (Don't stay up too late now. Ya hear?) And I can't wait to see some pics of the new comet. I saw the original one a few days ago and it looked like a pile of sh!t with no lift.
Airtime&Gravity Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 ahhh, the "coaster of death" Good photos, but I don't know what to think of the park. It is ghetto, but it seems to cater to families really well. It is a family owned park, and while I could understand minimal theming, the whole park is on what was some persons farm. There seem to be no midways, and the rides are scattered all over, kind of like the ghetto Walibi park in France. However, they seem to have many "classic" rides, and it appears to be a good family park. Also, I'm surprised they have manual brakes since I thought building codes would require a "new" coaster to have air brakes.
steel Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Wow, it looks like they've improved the park a lot since '05. LOVE Little Dipper. Total awesome. I really want to go back there some time. It was like 300000 degrees outside when I was there.
rabid disney Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 wow great photo of brent brent is my Sydney staff member but want i want to know who is ya friend dude
spaceace12 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 So was "Would Casey fit in the coaster" as good everywhere as it was there? I wonder how well he fit on Lost Coaster.
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Very cool, you guys got to ride a brand new coaster I had never even heard about! I really like junior woodens and think they should be more popular than they are.
Spookbaby Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 So was "Would Casey fit in the coaster" as good everywhere as it was there? I wonder how well he fit on Lost Coaster. Casey fit into Tobaggan. He can fit into anything.
BarryH Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Great photos! Well worth the wait! I'm surprised you got to ride Little Dipper. When I visit WI, I'm riding it for the credit. Cha-ching!
CaseyFish Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Okay I just got home I promise to talk about what I fit into what, but believe it or not, I fit into meteor with T.J. and I fit into the Tabaggon with Robb!!! There is proof. Lost coaster had plenty of room in it, I had no problem with that one. But yeah I will post all my stuff later, including the girl who was taking all the money from TPR trippers to ride the kiddie coaster, she made some good money!!! So yeah give me a couple of days, also yes there are more "clench and squeeze" pics coming soon, just for you Laura...LOL Casey"pics to come soon"Childers
Airtime&Gravity Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I don't know if it's my computer or the site, but I have to hit refresh for it to appear on the main page. Is anyone else having this problem, because it is just chance I came across the update. The update is not on the main page, but when I refresh, it appears. I've done it a few times, and the same thing happens, so it was not a one time thing.
thecoasterkid Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Robb, you left out one of the best parts of the Little A-Merrick-A visits! You and Casey cramming into the toboggan coaster! I've got video of the entire effort as well if it's alright to post. SQUISH!
SharkTums Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 PLEASE POST IT NOW!!! I am still confused as to how this was possible, and how the little car made it up to the top of the ride! I was having visions of them having to be cut out of the vertical lift due to the car stalling!
ms13 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Ahh, the kiddie coaster is still the coaster of death! Thanks for the update!
terrancew_hod Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Meteor was a nice little coaster and I thought I was gonna die on the toboggan! Luckily I shot a little pov documenting my pain! Hopefully I can actually make it home to work on it! Terry
CaseyFish Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 ^LMAO thanks Elissa, Yeah I wish I had a pic of Robb's face when he said,"Hey Casey, I think I can fit in there with you" This was one of THREE times that Robb came up with a GREAT idea! Yeah his ideas almost made us DIE!! Yeah I would like to see the video, because I don't know how we even were able to fit. Oh wait I know,"Clinch and Squish"
robbalvey Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 Robb, you left out one of the best parts of the Little A-Merrick-A visits! You and Casey cramming into the toboggan coaster! I've got video of the entire effort as well if it's alright to post. Ahhh!!! Awesome! I'm glad you posted that pic! I was looking for a photo of that, but I couldn't remember who was on the platform at the time. I looked through about 10 people's photos and couldn't find one and gave up. (I'll sort through all the photos for the big updates though....) But yeah, post the video! LOL!
WillMontu Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Here are some pictures But not without injury! They made it! The point of no return Finally Let's try this again It's not closing! Robb has the bright idea of joining Casey in the cage Casey getting in. Will he fit?
robbalvey Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 Ok, this has to be the worst picture of me EVER!!!!
EuroTre Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Ooh. Meteor. I would really like to ride this little baby and get a POV. It looks cool. I'm glad that Daryl showed you guys a good time. He is very cool.
Nrthwnd Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Toboggans are evil, evil things! Welcome back you guys. It all looked like a great tour for you and everybody in it. See you at the end of the month.
