Hhappy Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Time flies when you are having fun... Just a couple of weeks after the europe trip it was time for me to fly to Philadelphia to meet up with familiar faces and friends for yet another TPR trip. After a nice flight, getting to the hotel, some food and a good night of rest and sleep it was time to meet up with everybody else and start this Trip. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for yet another great trip. Anyway.. as you might know by now.. i do take plenty of pictures (most of the time) and the following is a selection of those. These are (as usual) posted in the order that they were taken during the day's. Enough said hope you enjoy them. Behemoth and Ravine Flyer II trip Day 1: Seabreeze Day 2: Darien Lake Day 2: Martin's Fantasy Island Day 3: Behemoth Bash at Canada's Wonderland Day 4 (Part1): Marineland Day 4 (Part2): Waldameer Day 5 (Part1): Idlewild Day 5 (Part2): Lakemont Park Day 5 (Part3): Del Grosso's East Coast Trip Day 1 (part1): Sesame Place Day 1 (part2): Coney Island Day 2 (Part1): Six Flags New England Day 2 (Part2): Quassy Day 2 (Part3): Lake Compounce Day 3 (Part1): Six Flags New England (day 2) Day 3 (Part2): Rye Playland Day 4: Six Flags Great Adventure Day 5: Six Flags America Day 6: Busch Gardens Europe at Williamsburg Day 7: Kings Dominion Day 8 (Part1): Morey's Piers Day 8 (Part2):Clementon Day 9: Hersheypark Day 10: Dorney Park Day 11: Knoebels I'll leave you with this picture.. i don't dare coming up with a caption for it so... and some information about the past.. Bobsleds scary?? This one came out nice... There were plenty of people at this park at this time.. Time for a beautifull sunset Time for some other photo's... looks like the kiddie was scarier for the adults (whoring it) then for the kids... More people having fun Now how many people can we fit.... it was flying... Jahan seems to like it while Dave.. well Dave is just being Dave... Back to Jack Rabbit... I think it was a nice coaster.. Lokks like they still enjoyed it.. The sun started it's final decent (for today) which created different light... yeah.. more tpr members.. owh my.. look at the effect on the structure after those "armpits" passed Some random people on the third credit at this park. Yes, another credit. Just in case you forgot where we are.. the "first" TPR "takeover" ehm.. was not sure about posting this one.. but hey.. it has something.. ehm... I guess everybody has this picture... I do like the "old school" station without turning/blocking stuff.. just depending on common sense.. And the present day.. why is everybody taking pictures of me taking a picture of something?? Interesting info from the past One of the first things you see after entering the park.. First park of this trip Our bus for this segment of the trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to enjoy the UFO Where are the bags going to with that person?? Total focus... Game time And part 2.. i'll safe everybody from all the other expressions during that ride... The many faces of Robb... part 1 But at least he got a "boob" credit for the Bingo no comment.... Just in case you forgot the name of the previous ride... Local??? or just enjoy another scream... Brace yourself... Is it joy?? those wristbands make it easier to spot other TPR members... aha, that was the name... Random people enjoying the... ehm... what was the name of this ride... ehmm.. Random people about to hit the brakes.. Motocoaster... i guess the park opened... Last train during ERT.. After sitting in the front.. let's try the back... Plenty of different expressions.. Next victims.. plenty of happy faces.. Almost back to the station... Let's get back to the ride of steel.. and well.. a picture says more then a thousand words... Happy faces... They have no idea... That's more like it.. in the distance... Nerd shot?? But first.. let's check out this Ride of Steel.. ERT started with Predator... Hmm.. OCC... Group gathering for the group photo.. What's that in the distance?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhappy Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Sorry for the delay.. but things have been pretty hectic here the last couple of days.. As promised the next update is about the second part of Day 2 Martin's Fantasy Island yes.. i guess everybody got it.. silver comet was flying and could only be captured as a blur.. pretty lights... the park is empty.. the sun i gone.. let's put on some lights and start ERT.. time for some fun on a slide.. What's this?? no comment.. Anything for a picture... ehm.. who gave this to Elissa?? I guess we missed a show... Let's take a walk through this nice park not really.. let's add some more water... thanks do you think that they are wet enough?? they are somewhere underneath this splash... ok.. here we go again... First drop.... After food.. it's good to.. test the logflume.. the more people the more fun.. Let's spin a little.. I did try to capture something beautifull... and here's the result.. did not come out that bad.... Full Tilt... everybody tries to win.. happy faces all around.. another TPR takeover.. and don't forget the brake run at the end... plenty of angles to try to get pictures... There's fun for young and older.. and there's pain?? there's joy... ok, focus.. i spot TPR members... it's still cold... can i eat it or not?? Nice hair effect at one of the turns... Some random people starting their ride... there's still light.. let's try to get some more pictures from the Silver Comet and it was not that "big" i guess this says it all.. How wet can you get?? This one looked like fun (looking back at the reactions of people on it..) scream or crazy mouse?? I've been spotted... Hi Erik, how's the view?? getting in the seat can be difficult?? Elissa is happy... since it did not spin... look over there... They seem to have fun... There's also a "spinning" mouse coaster... "don't feed Phil" ehm.. normally these don't just swing i guess?? Let's ceck out the woodie.. I totally liked the fact that it was possible to take a canoe and paddle around... Here's the entrance sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
