At least I'm exotic in some parts of the world. The south to me is classic literature like Gone With The Wind and To Kill A Mockingbird - not trailer parks, bad teeth, the klan, and pig farming (I'm trying to forget Deliverance). Also I really hope you get over your fear of flying because there is so many opportunities you'll miss out on otherwise. Though a cab driver on the midwest trip was very convinced about how teleportation was possible. Back to the reports, Leap The Dips was a funny little coaster, back row without holding on (I was filming a POV) was Jolt The Dips but the front was much better. To think, this would have been blowing people's minds early last century just like X, Dragster etc would be now. I wish I had a time machine to see what will be amazing in next century. Delgrosso's - it was all about the sauce because it certainly wasn't about the rides. I can see why they haven't bothered to put up the other coaster they have. Maybe some imagineer can come up with an affordable sauce theme for Delgrosso's yet to be put up ccoaster to pique Mr Sauce's interest - Sauce The Ride, Leap The Sauce, Top Thrill Sauce, Ride of Sauce, Sauce Runner; the possibilities are endless. A TPR competition maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 It's all about the SAUCE! I think Delgrosso's had the best kiddie of the trip & Tyler's puppet show on the bus was funny as Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Please tell me somebody got pictures or video of Tyler's puppet show. No kidding, when the last couple TPR trips are on DVD and Coasters in the Raw volume 2 is out, sign me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2Rox Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 WOWW!!! What a great trip report!!! Thanks for getting these out to us Robb, wherever you are in the world!! I had such an Amazing time on this trip! I'm having flashbacks everyday. Something always seems to remind me of the trip! Like cruising by the movie rentals at Block Buster and coming across the movie Juno, or passing by the pasta sauce section at Albertson's and for some reason South Park, Spiders and "Your Mom". Thanks to everyone who made this trip as Amazing as it was!! You guys are all Awesome and I Miss You!! I've come back a different person! A changed person! I think something happened to me on that Incredible stormy night, during the most invigorating thunderstorm I've ever experienced. Or Maybe it was the Great Behemoth..Night ERT, Eyes closed, wind in my face! I can't really say for sure what it was, but I do know that there is no amount of money that can pay for the lessons learned, experience gained and friends made to keep!!! You Guys Take Care!! Much Love!! Roxanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms13 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Awww.....with this update comes the end of the trip I was a part off. It's been the strangest thing after reading trip reports for so long to actually say I was there for one..and even see a few pictures of my self in there. ....Weird... I've said it before, but I'll say it again, while the parks and ERT was awesome, it was the people who made this trip awesome! I'd be down for a TPR takeover of anything, even a shopping mall! Mike, Matt (x2), Adam, Tony, Chris, you guys are awesome!, and here's hoping we can met up some time in the future again! If I didn't say you're name, you're not as awesome, but you're still cool.... .....Nooo, everyone on the trip was amazingly awesome! Thanks for the memories guys, and cant wait for a trip next year! ( I got a second job just to make sure I'm on a trip next year!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dws_57 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I was too far back on the bus to hear the puppet show. Instead we had flashing Leis, cameras, I phone, and a slight rave going on back there instead. As well as the spiders. The night was Sauce, Spiders and leis. What else could you want? awesome trip report for an Equally awesome trip. Dws. it's all about the sauce. Flightdeck world tour group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Clear Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 During the puppet show, I could hear a Depeche Mode sing-a-long going on in the back of the bus. How I longed to be there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginzo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 For Spaghetti Wednesdays did they use the premium La Famiglia DelGrosso sauces or just their regular sauce with the spaghetti? It would have been quite a treat if they gave you the premium sauce because that stuff is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Austin Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 when's the Hershey Update going up? Probably nearer the end, as it was one of the last parks we went to. Robb's still got 12 parks to do until he reaches Hershey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyyyper Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 And him being in China doesn't really speed things up. Just be patient, when it's done, it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 And him being in China doesn't really speed things up. Exactly. I've finished the Behemoth trip update. These things take me about two hours a night at the minimum to put together and unfortunatley the China updates will have to take priority since these are parks not many people have seen before. I had time at the start of the trip to do more than one update a night but now that we're knee deep into this Asia trip, I've got to put off the East Coast reports for another week or two. There are already plenty of awesome trip reports going on anyway... --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryB Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 ^Absolutely understandable!! I'm enjoying living vicariously through yet another incredible TPR trip. I'll look forward to the official East Coast update, but I'm also enjoying what everybody else is pulling together from the ECT. It just gives me something else to look forward to knowing there are more updates to come. Thanks for taking the time to do the Asia updates you are doing. Having now done an actual trip, I don't know how anyone posts while on a trip. I could hardly see straight by the time we got back to the hotel most of the time! (Except for maybe a couple of memorable nights in Williamsburg!) Thanks Again! Sleepy KerryB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinmac Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 ^That is so true... The China updates are great and I am absolutely enjoying the updates. I'm also really enjoying all the other ECT trip reports... If it would be possible to post links to them in the official trip report that would be freaking awesome. Now that I have been on one of the trips it gives me a completely new respect for just how crazy the whole thing is. Robb and Elissa put a ton into these trips and the fact that Robb actually manages to keep up with these updates is insane. I know I have mad amounts of respect for both of them now. I couldn't keep up the rate they do for so long in the summer. Heck most of the ECT I was ready to collapse when we hit the hotel (and most of the time I did).

philthephorce Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I hope I'm not irritating anyone, but I'm feeling kinda like: All the member trip reports were great but the whole thing still doesn't feel like it's "officially" in the TPR history books until Robb & co. do their thing. I'll admit that I'm even more anxious to see what's in store now that I'm absolutely certain that I won't do a trip in '09...and '10 is still on the fence. Sorry for being selfish. I'll go back to my corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 I will be doing the TR's and I'm so sorry that I haven't gotten around to it yet, I've just got so many things going on right now in my personal life that I haven't got much time. My "day job" has really gotten busy and my day recently has consited of - 8am - Wake up 9am - 7pm - My "Day Job" 7:30pm - 1am - TPR "Stuff" 1am - 2am - Go to bed And lately the "TPR Stuff" has been mastering two DVDs, working on 2009 trips, daily updates, TPR TV development, and most importantly, packing up and shipping DVD orders. I honestly don't get very many breaks for myself. It's either work stuff or TPR stuff almost 24/7. The trip updates take a LOT of time. Anyone who has ever done a trip report knows exactly what I'm talking about. I've just been very busy....sorry! And I know "Sorry" just isn't a good enough excuse, there just aren't enough hours in the day. I mean, we just released the DVD from our Japan 2007 trip...and trust me, if it could have been released any sooner, it would have! --Robb "They will be coming, I swear!!!"

Vffreak07 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 No worries, I went on a multiple park road trip and I took 1000+ photos, and gave up after the first 300 photos. It's a tiring task believe me. Like a couple posts before says "Take your time " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
televisedconfession Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Your DVD's are so effing good, that I think we can forgive you this once Robb. But don't let it happen again The newest DVD's are crack. They're amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
