TPR's Ever Evolving Park Index

[megametal]

I know it's nitpicky, but just figured I'd tell you in case it was an oversight. Disaster Transport at Cedar Point is closed, as is Roller Soaker at Hersheypark.

[DarienLaker]

UFO at Darien Lake is going under some refurbishment, I don't know how long, but it won't be operating this season (or even ever again!).

Here are a few things you might be able to use for Darien Lake

 

Sign for Darien Lake's Blast off. Will be open in a week or so.

Skycoaster has been renamed Redhawk.

Viper's new look.

Larry,

 

Here's a couple of photos of Waldameer's new Music Express. Hope they are sufficient for you. It is not an easy ride to get a good full frontage photo since the Scrambler is right in front of it.

View from the L. Ruth Express station.

Not the greatest photo of the Music Express but you can at least see the new LED lighting on the Scrambler.

I noticed the TPR Index's Gatekeeper section says that you needed photos, so I have a few from media day to donate. Enjoy

[Groteslurf]

Some pics of 'd Warvelwind at Toverland

[Godwyn]

Here is Giraffica from Holiday World for you.

 

Also, last year when I went to Beech Bend and got the Zero G pictures for you, they didn't have an actual sign for the ride. Well now they do, so here is that one also if you wanted to add it.

I'm making a trip to Michigan's Adventure next week so I'll see about snapping a few pics of the gliders.

Remember photos must be .jpg should not exceed 800x600 (Unfortunately, in the past many people have submitted photos that were far too large for TPR to use or in pdf form.)

 

If you have photos of a non-kiddie ride that is not in TPR's Park Index, please submit that also. The list of what we need is not complete, only based on rides that appear on my personal park maps.

 

High quality photos, please (not blurry, distorted or out of focus).

 

We are also not adding FECs (Family Entertainment Centers) to the Park Index. Our current rule of thumb is to include places that have 6 or more adult rides. Also, we are Theme Park Review not Water Park Review so we are not adding Water Parks either.

 

Of course any PTRs containing superior photos or entertaining captions and a variety of pictures including multiple rides and areas (Not just one or two rides/attractions) are always valued. Attention has been given to every previously submitted Photo TR. Don't feel discouraged if we can't include every one.

 

Photo in your PTRs must be downloaded onto the Theme Park Review server (not Imageshack, photobucket) for it to be included in the Park Index, that way we know a Red X will never appear.

 

Lastly, if you have to ability to scan your park maps, feel free to submit those for the years that all not already in the Park Index.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

Atmosfear - Knoebels

 

I know you didn't ask for it, but I also didn't see it in the Index. I didn't get a pic of the full tower.

[Ccron10]

I have two photos of the Safari Off-Road Adventure loading station at Six Flags Great Adventure. It features the ride sign on the building, but not a close-up of it. I plan on heading back in a few weeks so if nobody takes any before then, I'll snap a few better photos of the attraction for you.

As for the needed photos of Black Diamond's and Power Surge's ride sign at Knoebels, I plan on stopping by on Wednesday and I'll get them for you. If I remember correctly, I don't think I saw a sign for Black Diamond anywhere.

[Nrthwnd]

Larry - I got to Playland (At the PNE) on Monday, and looked all over the park for any signs of our newest ride, AtmosFEAR. Unfortunately, the sign closest to it was just the general warning sign that's on most of the rides at the park. But they do have a large sign at the entrance to Playland, for it. So I took a few, and hope these will do. Unless of course, they actually put up A - SIGN there, heh heh

The warning sign in front of AtmosFEAR.

The sign at the front of the park entrance.

A shot of the sign, with the attraction in back.

Larry, I saw you needed photos of CP's Dinosaurs Alive and I went ahead and paid my $5 to go through it and snapped quite a few photos of the attraction. Unfortunately they are all 640x480 as I forgot to change photo size. Just wondering how many photos would you want or need of the dinosaurs?

 

BTW I thought the attraction was pretty cool for what it is (and bigger than I thought as well) as I've never seen anything like it before even though the Cleveland Zoo has had dinos in the past (and has them again this year). Also you can get some pretty nice views of Millennium Force while going through it.

[larrygator]

^^Thanks Bill. I know it must have pained you to ride Coaster

640 x 480 is fine, I just don't want any really larger photos. 6-10 photos are fine.

[Nrthwnd]

Oh it was, it WAS!

 

Actually, I took my first turn in the back seat, in a long long time.

Did - not - like it - at all. Too much force on/at my frail body.

Middle of the train's always been fine for me, lol.

[Godwyn]

I seen there were not any updated sign photos for American Thunder (formerly Evel Knievel) at Six Flags St. Louis.

[larrygator]

^Ah, good catch!

[harper83087]

I have a bunch of pics of the Lakeside Gliders at Michigan's Adventure I'll post once I get settled now that I'm home.

[larrygator]

^OK, cool.

 

The list is dwindling, so thanks for the help everyone.

[Garet]

Hey Larry I got the new underland ride at lotte world for you in my korean park index update thread: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=64957&start=10

 

Sadly except for the 4d shooting ride they installed down there i don't know if it counts as a new land, it's just a cover put over the shopping malls restaurants, which makes it really confusing since its a shared spare with 1 entrance for lotte world guests and one for shopping mall users but if you accidentally go out the shopping mall entrance to use a bathroom or browse shops and come back you'll find yourself locked out of lotte world since they don't allow re-entry (there was no sign in english in the restaurants just at the park exit)

 

I'll maybe head out and try and snap pictures of everlands new safari ride later this year when the lines start to die down.
