CoasterFanatic Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Sorry to hear that the rain dampened your plans. We only wish that it would have rained a little bit at Mt. O as the coasters were running pretty bad on our visit last week (3 week drought). Hopefully the clouds clear and you get some excellent rides!
thefitness Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 EDIT: Probably not my place to say that. I was complaining at the complainers. Hope you guys will have better luck with weather!
Meteornotes Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 like people were playing Elissa bingo and I'm on a statue credit hunt! EVERYBODY should play Elissa Bingo! Or at least send the guy that puts the game together a lot of money. Hope the rain holds off for you guys. The Dells is a fun place. dt
larrygator Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Everyone on the trip owes Dave Thomas a big thanks for Elissa bingo. All Hail, Dave Thomas. Big Mike - maybe if you weren't so fugly there would be more pictures of you.
mcjaco Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 ^ The check is in the mail. Seriously, we got hit with some serious storms last night. It was impressive. Weather for Wednesday looks to be ok, hot and cloudy.
disneygurlz2s Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Are you going to tell me that person (the picture complainer) is actually ON the trip?? Jeez!! I can tell you all, just from spending one day with the gang on Friday, Robb doesn't hardly sit down, and with the heat and everything it is exhausting. I did an 18 hour day (with travel) on Friday, and it took me two days to recover. I'll throw in a postive comment just to balance from the negative... now that I have gotten to meet and/or see some of the travelers in person, it makes these reports so much fun to read. I can't wait to see everyone again this weekend. Be safe in the stormy hot weather! Shari
BarryH Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Are people complaining about the updates again? Have we not learned from the Spain updates? When I read another update complaint, I will be posting a photo of me wearing a Speedo and ugly-ass orange Crocs! Believe me, no one wants to see that!
redfoot12 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 If that picture complainer is on the trip I think the whole group should go "soap in a sack to Pyle's gut" Full Metal Jacket style! Edit to add: And how sad and pathetic am I? On coastercounter.com I'm adding credits day by day for the ones I would have gotten if I hadn't had to pull out of the trip.
Pufferfish Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 It really looks like you all are enjoying yourselves. I hope that the weather clears up for you. To all you complainers, stop it! If you really want more pictures or updates, you go on the trip and take the pics yourself. Let's see how you like running 18 hour days. Show some respect. Everyone is on the trip to have fun, not feed you whining babies.
TheRealTinkerbell Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 me wearing a Speedo and ugly-a$$ orange Crocs! NO, not ORANGE CROCS! ANYTHING but Orange Crocs! On a serious note, just like everyone else has been saying, people really need to be more appreciative of Robb and Elissa's work. Honestly, they are doing these TRs and mini-updates for us readers as a FAVOR! The least you(whiners, complainers, shenanigan lovers and selfish people) could do is thank them instead of abusing them. So, has Kidtums gotten her first statue credit yet? Seems like everyone has except for her! She needs to be included in the fun of statue credit whoring! I mean, she can't get any coaster credits, so might as well let her touch a few dirty statues...before Terrance does.... Jen "about to punch whiners in the uterus so they can't procreate" Raphael
robbalvey Posted August 7, 2007 Author Posted August 7, 2007 Here is a little update.... Rain cleared up today and we got on all the coasters with ERT on Hades and Zeus. Made our way around the park doing karts, credits, and other flats. Coasters seemed to be running quite well after the rain storm. We did the waterpark last night. 9 foot wavepool is amazing! We are off to Riverview and Timber Falls now and we will be back at Mt. Olympus later today. Wifi connection last night sucked so no pics. But I have lots of Indiana Beach photos and a Lost Coaster video ready to go! --Robb
Vffreak07 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Sweet! I can't wait to see TPR commentated 9 ft. wavepool pics!
ParkTrips Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 ^ No. The itinerary has been posted several times already. LoCoSuMo video? Are you guys trying to suck up to James or something?
mcjaco Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 ^ It was actually running quite kick ass on Sunday.
Rob.Lloyd Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 How was my number one coaster running (Cornball express ) ?
Hercules Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 I can't believe even MORE people are complaining than the Spain thread. People - get a clue!
mcjaco Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 As in it kicked your a$$? Perhaps. Although squashing yourself into a car with Ted, Paul and Casey, there's not much room to move in.
robbalvey Posted August 7, 2007 Author Posted August 7, 2007 So you're not hitting up Noah's Ark? It's not part of the official itinerary, no. We've had plenty of time in the dells if someone wanted to go on their own. My personal opinion is that other than Black Anaconda there isn't anything at that park we can't ride at most other water parks on this trip. We have 6 water parks already included on the trip and we felt that was sufficient. --Robb
benzo41190 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Will there be some sort of meet up time for SFGAm. Because I know there are plenty of people on here that would love to meet up that day....as well as myself.
CoasterFanatic Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 ^ ... and miss a day at the Wisconsin State Fair? I think that Afro dude from High School Musical is there that night. ^^ Sometimes I think that people forget that this site is THEME PARK Review. You could almost do a whole trip in the Mid-West based solely on visiting water parks. I actually lost count of indoor parks on way home. There are really that many.
benzo41190 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 No, they got rid of the Pinfari coaster and many large flat rides. So I only need to go once. And for SFGAm tomorrow, I will be there around 2:00pm. Is there anyway I can get a hold of someone at the time. Because I know that the groups don't stay together and some people might want to go to the water park if it is hot. Which BTW, Its supposed to be 90 and 74% humidity Wed.
JimmyBo Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Robb and Elissa, just wanted to add some love into this already annoying complaining immature "I want more pictures of me" crap. I LOVE YOU GUYS! YOU KICK @$$!!!!! Ok, have fun on the rest of the trip
