Photo TR: Myrtle Beach Trip - In Progress

[CoasterFanatic]

Well everybody, I am back in good old Weirton, WV and here is the final update from my last night in Myrtle Beach, SC.

 

After a day at the beach we headed to North Myrtle where a stop at Hooters would become our dining event of the evening.

 

Catrina and Ang demonstrate that they love Hooters just as much as the guys!

 

Here is a picture of me with the world's smallest chicken wing. I am not making this up .... it was actually on my plate.

 

After our meal, Brandon and I learned a neat trick. If you walk to the front and just start clapping your hands, a buch of "Hooters" girls will come up for a picture.

 

Next we headed further north to the Myrtle Beach Grand Prix. This is a shot of us waiting for the "Indy" cars.

 

As you can see, helmets are optional on the "Grand Prix" track.

 

After a short wait, I am ready to take my cart out on the track.

 

Brandon gives the op his ticket for his second lap.

 

A shot of me waiting for the green light to start my first lap. These carts were a lot of fun and much faster than I expected. If want to see how you measure up, my best time was around 48.5 Seconds.

 

Not quite the greatest picture in the world, but here is a shot of that "only one in America" flat-ride thingy.

 

I didn't whore it up too bad (passed on the wacky worm credit), but I did have to get a lap on the Crazy Mouse.

 

At $4.50 a ride, this will be our only lap of the evening.

 

#207. Cha-Ching!

 

After the Grand Prix, we headed back to "Broadway" because Ang wanted to ceck something at the Speedpark and Catrina wanted to pick up some Hard Rock gifts. I figured this would be a good opportunity to demonstrate my super-human strength by balancing Rusty Wallace's #2 Car above my head.

 

My last picture of the trip.

 

Thanks to everybody for reading.

Wow, looks like you had a great trip, The Grand Prix is extremely expendsive, I don't know how they have been in business for these what 6 or 7 years now. The Top Star Tour is a fun ride, you just go all the way to the top of your OTSRs and its a little uncomfortable, but other than that a fun ride.

There is at least one top star tour on the fair circuit.

The only other Top Star Tour I was aware of was the one owned by Conklin. It usually plays at that huge fair in Ontario, Canada (brain fart, cannot remember the name for the life of me!)

 

[EDIT: It's the CNE - Canadian National Exhibition]
