DCody Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Holy COW-- I have not logged in here since all this went down! If anyone is still listening, thank you very, very much for all the congrats and well wishes! I have been an enthusiast for years but I just joined TPR last summer. I know I don't post a whole heck of a lot-- mainly because all you crazy credit whores are WAY more knowledgable about coasters than I-- but I'm going to try to come out of my shell now that I see this is such a cool group. Thank you again!
cfc Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 ^Well, look at it this way. Some of us are "way more knowledgable." Others are here to learn from those who are "way more knowledgable." And some of us think they're "way more knowledgable." It's up to you to figure out which is which.
steel Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Welcome back! Again, HUGE congratulations! I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that I'm very proud to have an Oscar-winner (and a deserving one, at that) on this site and in the coaster world.
darklingscribe Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 but I'm going to try to come out of my shell now that I see this is such a cool group. Thank you again! You should try one of the trips if your schedule doesn't get in the way. After 10 days with the same people up riding coasters from the crack of dawn till midnight. The sense of togetherness gets so strong that people cry when it's over and we have to leave.
Nrthwnd Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Ms. Cody - Actually, I hope you find yourself way more busy than you could possibly afford time to the site...... As said above, congrats on the win and best wishes for success on future projects. And if you're still in Vancouver - enjoy the great weather we've got right now!
BeemerBoy Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I know I don't post a whole heck of a lot-- mainly because all you crazy credit whores are WAY more knowledgable about coasters than I-- but I'm going to try to come out of my shell now that I see this is such a cool group. Thank you again! Yeah, and we won't ask you to wear million dollar shoes either....maybe just a TPR hoodie to your next Letterman appearance.

Thank you again! The only credit whores here are Jeff Johnson and Elissa Alvey! OK, I admit it...me too. I visited Sesame Place just to ride Vapor Trail. Now here's a crazy idea...Ms. Cody can join TPR on one of their trips and make a movie about it. That might be a bit scary too. Then again, Juno MacGuff can hook up with Nicholas D'Agosto.
DCody Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I visited Sesame Place just to ride Vapor Trail. That's nothing to be ashamed of. You should see me on carnival kiddie coasters with my knees mashed against my chest. I want to go on a TPR trip so bad. I only ever get to go to parks with GP-type friends. Although I must say they're very patient when I'm like "LOOK! A first-gen Freefall! Let me take 100 photos! Okay, now get one with me and the operator! Let's pretend it's the Edge!" [/i]
BarryH Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 ^I suspect you would get along with Joey and you both can drool over the 1st generation Intamin freefalls. No, they aren't credits, *ahem* Jeff Johnson! I'm sure there is space on one of the trips. Come on, you got to use the residuals from "Juno" somewhere!
ebl Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 A couple of years ago I rode a kiddie coaster at our local county fair because I'd never ridden any ride with a nine-car train! Is that pathetic or what? Some people say I have some sort of OCD. I didn't know Orange County had a disease named after it, but whatever. And thanks for being in our ranks, Diablo! Eric
larrygator Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 A movie about of TPR trip would be fascinating to the 25,000+ members of this site and NO ONE ELSE
FLIPDUDE Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Wow! I just discovered this thread. This is so cool! I had no idea she was a member of TPR, or a coaster enthusiast! I always wondered what celebrities are coaster enthusiasts(I think will pharrel might be, I'm not sure), but it's so cool to find out that this year's hottest movie-industry person is a member of TPR! I saw the interview on Letterman on TV, and I think I've seen another show she was on, too. I was thinking what a cool and interesting(in a really good way) person she is. Knowing shes a coaster enthusiast and a TPRer just makes her 5 times cooler in my book. I really wanted to see Juno, but I haven't seen my friends in forever and last time I tried to get them to see it, the person who's birthday it was decided we should all watch "I Am Legend" instead, so I'm still waiting for the next chance I get to see it! From the previews I saw everywhere and the rave reviews I keep hearing about it it should be fantastic. Tomi "shall now cease the fanboying" Zandshtein.
downunder Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I loved that Juno wasn't obvious, & very few movies have real heart these days. What's next, Juno's Final Destination, or maybe Juno v Jason - I think a feisty girl like Juno could that hockey masked freak to bed once and for all. I personally think Suspiria owns The Wizard Of Gore...
BarryH Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Actually, here is "Juno II!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIxX4fbjCQU

Wow, that's so awesomely sad and pathetic! Yes, you absolutely DO need to do a TPR trip! You would fit in just fine... --Robb
BarryH Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 ^I can see the crazy photos of Ms. Cody on a TPR trip now...
dandaman Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I wonder how many PM's from Oscar Night she has to sort through/delete en masse now. Ms. Cody: Just the mere fact that you've typed a sentence like "LOOK! A first-gen Freefall! Let me take 100 photos! Okay, now get one with me and the operator! Let's pretend it's the Edge!" restores my faith in celebrities.
BarryH Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 ^I have to wonder...when she says to pretend it's like the Edge, is she referring to the guitarist for U2?
SharkTums Posted April 2, 2008 Author Posted April 2, 2008 ^Barry if you keep posting she's never going to come back to the site, let alone go on a trip!!!
Nrthwnd Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I think you should let her know about the possible Scandinavian tour, next year. Just a suggestion.

I used to work Freefall...quite a bit of memories.
Bubba83 Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 OMG the Edge... I miss that ride I was one of the last few thousand to ride it when they had the counter up before they closed it.
