robbalvey Posted August 23, 2009 Author Posted August 23, 2009 Busch Gardens Williamsburg update was posted... Â http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=42&linkid=6556 Â Griffon brings out the best in everyone! Â Backstage tour of DarKastle was VERY cool! Â --Robb
ernierocker Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Whoops, looks like you snuck an update by me on Sunday morning. Â Busch Gardens was an amazing day. It was fairly crowded that day, but with the Quick Queue and ERT, we pretty much destroyed the park. (Kind of like Busch Gardens is destroying Big Bad Wolf ) Â The Rapids spray zone was amazing. Especially, the machines facing Apollo's Chariot. If you could man all the sprayers and with the right timing, you could own some people.
Gav Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Fantastic photos inside DarkKastle, those 4-D dark rides are one thing that have always fascinated me. Â Did they explain exactly what the car does to make it feel like you are falling?...That's one effect I have never been able to get an answer on.
robbalvey Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 ^ The car doesn't really do that much. Tilts down a bit, but it's mostly the visual experience of the film and set that your in during this part of the ride. Â --Robb
hobbit Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Elissa sitting on the best place for any divecoaster!!!
philthephorce Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 ^^^I remember the tour guide telling us that they decided on a pneumatic system to make the cars tilt, as opposed to a hydraulic system similar to that of Spiderman. It makes for slightly milder movements, but as Robb already said, it really depends on how well the visuals sell themselves that make you think you're moving more than you actually are.
bull24471 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Ok maybe I am reading the BG report . Why you all saying demolition and enjoy your ride because it will be your last time to ride on the Big Bag Wolf???? Just Curious .
SharkTums Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 ^Because it's been announced that the ride is coming out soon, for most people that was their last ride on the coaster.
wlmoorer Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Looking at the pics from BGE are getting me excited about the IntimidaTour...ive always wanted to get up to BGE and next summer I'll finally be doing it!!!
jedimaster1227 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 ^Busch Gardens Williamsburg treated us incredibly well on the East Coast trip, so I have no doubt you'll have a fantastic time with TPR on the IntimidaTour. Â The park has a great line-up of rides, shows and other experiences, so I'm sure your experience will be a great one!
robbalvey Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 Get ready for a MASSIVE EPIC TPR UPDATE!!!! Â 50 pages! 15 parks! 1,000 photos! New videos! Â Â TPR's MASSIVE EAST COAST UPDATE!
hyyyper Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Holy sh.... Â Wow, I can't believe I forgot how awesome this trip in just 1,5 year. Thanks for putting these PTR together, and (again) thanks for the trip! Â Just amazing.
krazekiddd Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 There are two things of importance from here. Â First, you said the word Massive. Â Second, "I think I just saw Jesus". Nope, I'll never get over that one. Ahhh the memories.
Mike Austin Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Oh my God... Memories! Some not so good, but mostly awesome memories. Â This report has sooo put me in the modd for doing yet another trip! Someone had better drop out the Mid-America trip soon!
rollin_n_coastin Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Now that was pure MASSIVE nostalgic goodness. Â Robb, just amazing, thank you! Â Cheers Jason
Speeddeamon128 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Fantastic update Robb this just made my day Can't wait for the DVD!
jjune4991 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 woah! big, huge update! nice! Â and, whenever I'm at BGA, the tortoises are always making babies! I guess they know there aren't enough of them so they need to do something quick!
odene497 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Ohhh this trip was amazing. Seriously a life changing experience. Thank you SO MUCH for putting this all together! Can't wait for Mid America!
kenshinmac Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Amazing amazing update. It delayed me getting out the door this morning because I just wanted to see as much as possible.  Thanks again to all that were on the trip... Truly I am now a TPR trip addict because of all the fun I had on this trip. Both the shorter trips I did this year were great as well with another amazing group of people.  Thanks especially to Robb and Elissa for the amazing organization and generally being willing to put up with all of us weird people  I can't wait to see the DVD now... Sadly snow on the ground here now with a little more than 5 months till coaster season in CO again.
tanthonyam Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 If you guys hate SLCs so much (Six Flags America) why do you continue riding them?
robbalvey Posted December 8, 2009 Author Posted December 8, 2009 ^ Because we love to hate them! Â See: Â Offspring - "Cool To Hate" Erasure - "I Love To Hate You"
Dailey Enterprizes Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Well I just killed some time between classes and reviewed the whole update! Out of everything I enjoyed the shots of the lightning over Clementon. Weather shots always fascinate me. Great pictures and videos Robb!
jedimaster1227 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 ^^^Some of us are just desperate for credits...
