Hhappy Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Oh and where did that picture come from??

Goliath513 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Great pictures of BGE! It makes me want to go there so bad! Many of those on-ride photos are priceless! John Some interesting facial expressions of me, especially on Roman Rapids and Log Flume. That was sure an amazing day after our previous day at SFA.

cfc Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 a bear and a camera.. The bear used to have a mylar balloon on a pole, too--but they took that out a long time ago. Great shots of my home park, Hanno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillgeek Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I can't get over all of the priceless facial expressions from everyone! But hey, since you're all members of TPR aren't you suppose to put your arms up and not be scared out of your minds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 it's time for another update. Day 7 Kings Dominion what do i rember today about this place.. the woodie's were fun (and a nice test for my shoulder... ) otherwise.. there wasn't much i remember.. although one thing comes to mind... something about a fastpass discussion.. anyway.. i'll just give you some pics. going down... That's all for this update.. going up the drop tower.. i believe i spot some familiar faces?? best part of the ride.. (if you are sitting on the left and have a "hard" shoulder) sorry... food fountains (and water) need some love.. i have to check how many of these i've been on.. but each was different due to working effects and power of the launch etc.. random people on dominator.. volcano.. kiddie woodie.. nice blue.. mouse and woodie.. Dominator time to get up the tower.. only today.. hmm i guess this one needs some love... mouse... yes.. we survived.. come on.. sit down.. for the kiddie credit.. always smiling sorry about this.. but this picture just shows a nice example of some sort of sleep shortage... Germany?? smiling is allowed.. back outside.. i guess they sealed it a bit of for Halloween or something else to be created there.. closed.. so that is how they do it.. this was not bad at all.. especially since the sun started the shine pretty strong outside and it was pretty cool inside.. inside.. aha scooby... time to check out some other parts of this place.. this ride was an interesting experience.. starting up... that's why they call it volcano? trying to find a decent angle for some pictures.. i would look P@$$*& too if one of my arms was missing... plenty to look at.. next ERT stop.. scary?? that's more like it. what's up with the hands on the legs?? happy riders.. next train... Full TPR train during ERT no more rimples.. first stop of the day... in the afternoon it was running better.. another ticket.. another day.. the other side of the road... what happens if people arrive too early at a park.. and stop for some drinks and other stuff..

Mike Austin Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 My face hurts. King's Dominion was easily my least favourite park of the trip. Just... everything about it was absolutely crap! And even more annoyingly, the Scooby Doo coaster is supposed to be the best coaster in the park, and I didn't ride it. Still, great photos Hanno!

terrancew_hod Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I wasn't ready! People in the office were wondering why I was belly laughing! Robb are you trying to drop it like it's hot? That's my territory! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I was looking at the earlier pictures thinking 'It was a shame I missed that drop tower it looked cool.'. Then I saw the last two photos and there is me on the drop tower! Then the memories came flooding back. Strange how you forget things. Great photos as always. - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikazewatermelon Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Nice Pics, do you have any idea why some of griffon's seats have two restraint belts while the rest have only one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyyyper Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Nice Pics, do you have any idea why some of griffon's seats have two restraint belts while the rest have only one? Those seats are bigger to make sure "oversized load" can ride too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrock23 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 That was such a good morning. Of course, that's when we only saw KD from the outside. And we didn't even get to see the toy plane/Jolly Dave shenannegans that went on there. Or was it a missle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachman Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Once again Hanno, you never cease to amaze me!!! Busch Gardens Europe was the most up-kept, clean parks I've ever been to. It was like Disney with Beer and some great coasters. I had a great time there. -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillgeek Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yeah....I was hearing that KD was a disappointment for you guys. Sorry to hear that. Great pics as always however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan462 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Great Photo's. Those shots are better than most on-ride photo's that the parks sell so I could see you easily making a little side profit there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hanno, AWESOME shots and a top notch setting. Epic win. Period. EDIT: Thank you for including the Roman Rapids shots too! Yes, those water cannons disguised as statues are way fun. Got some great pics and vids of people getting doused by those. Being on the recieving end is good for a laugh too.

krazekiddd Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hanno....amazing shots, especially of Griffon, one of my favourites from the trip. Oh and where did that picture come from?? I guess I deserve that for some of your candid pics on my Photo TR Really, I can't remember what Scott was reaching for (again..) that time and why I was simultaneously trying to move away (...again) lol Woah! I just saw the BGE update and totally don't remember what I was doing in that photo! I was probably going to tickle you again since that was just pure entertainment.

Mozart67 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I totally agree with Elissa. I would so buy your ride and trip photos, Hanno. Really well done and the shot of the people on the Drop Tower was birilliant, although the jury's still out on Robb's Humpty Butt dance. Thanks for the photogs!

Hhappy Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Well here we are again, the trip report ain't over yet since there are still more parks we visited during this trips.. and more parks mean more pictures.. Anyway... Day 8 Morey's Piers We started off with a filming session on one of the coasters and then moved from one pier to another until it was time to leave for the next park (more on that later) To me it was a great day, i got everything done that i wanted to do.. and i think i did get some decent pictures.. what else do you need? There will be a lot of similar pictures in this update.. but i did not feel like choosing at the moment so.. Enough said.. picture time i'll leave you with this picture.. next stop.. Clementon.. station.. how much to ride?? sorry.. too much.. let's continue.. looks cool from the "outside" respect for this life paintball target.. it was time to head back.. the swing.. and off course.. Robb had to check this out as well.. i might as well try something while waiting for the next riders.. Looks like Jahan is having a great time.. there's no need for any comment now.. the following will be some happy faces on a swing thingy.. i'm wondering if she knew what was going on.. did you lose your phone again?? something else.. and yes.. we have proof of airtime.. next train... ehm.. somebody is thinking about another ride i guess.. they look so happy.. that's twice during the same day.. hmm is it joy or is it pain?? can i please get of this ride.... that's better.. i'll just give you a bunch of pictures.. i guess everybody that was there should be in it.. please continu riding this coaster while some of us take a walk around it.. for some other angles.. still searching.. searching for an angle... great white.. it looks like most people were awake by now.. thanks.. time to go to the next pier.. spot the difference.. waterpark on the pier.. and the ocean in the back ground looks nice.. been there.. done that.. checking out the view from the ferris wheel no hands up?? crappy photo of a bunch of tpr members enjoying a flatride.. it's almost time to check out the last pier.. oeps.. spinning round and round and round.. there's so much that can be said now.. but i will not say anything.. flat ride fun.. TPR line there.. i can't believe i'm saying this.. but this brought back memories from the Midwest trip... something is missing.. going down... next stop.. how nice of them good morning entrance i'm getting close.. i should have taken the taxi.. time to walk to the next pier.. this was not bad at all good morning time to check out the rest of the place stupid fence... in the mean time some oher rides had opened see? the sun was totally in the wrong place to get good pictures easy.. but yeah... it made some for interesting angles.. Bas is waving and TPDave is sleeping.. those seats must be very comfortable going up the lifthill looks like joy.. we will be going there in a couple of hours.. i'll just post a bunch of pictures from different angles from thi ERT/filming session... the new system on these trains.. and yes.. you can see it was another early morning for some.. this looked so cool all day.. and in the end.. i believe i did not ride it.. too much other stuff to check out.. First stop of the day.. trying a diferent angle... early morning can make some people very grumpy.. i see a coaster in the distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
