Mike Austin Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 ^I used the "pause and rewind Live TV" feature on Sky HD for the very first time in my life. I just saw a couple of people, then thought "Hmmm... they look somewhat familiar", so I rewinded the programme and it was those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2Rox Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Watching those shows are so much fun! How cool it was for you to catch Robb and Elissa!! I want your TV now, it has some great features! I wish there was a coaster show on every week, like they have food shows on almost every day! I'm so pumped for this summer! I can't wait to see everyone again! Girls of TPR, WooHoo!! plus Neil! Hopefully will get some good spins in, add a very wet log flume, can't wrong with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printersdevil78 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 ^Isn't that surpurfluous? I mean, how is Neil not a "Girl of TPR"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillgeek Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Haha that's a great picture of them! I think i saw that too but it was a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Like I said on the China trip: Scandinavia sounds sooo good. I've only been to some of the Danish parks and Liseberg in Sweden so lots of new credits to be had. I'll make up my mind this weekend. West Coast sounds interesting too ...

U2Rox Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 HaHa, You guys are too much! I miss the good times! Jayson are you in for California?? I still think about your sushi candy! My mouth waters just thinking about it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryB Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 ^Roxanne, I am so looking forward to hanging out with you on the WCT! I enjoyed meeting you when you joined up with us on the ECT, so now I'll really get to know you. Can't wait! (I guess I should wait for the actual participant list before I get too excited...but that's impossible!) KerryB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printersdevil78 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 ^^Oh, I sent my deposit in for West Coast within hours of the trip's announcement! If everyone is nice to me on the trip board, I might consider bringing candy sushi and butter cookies again... but I'm not flying cross-country with a Smith Island cake! Delicious though it was, that thing was a pain to transport even just driving a couple hours to Philly. I'm holding out for more Tim Tams and Cadbury chocolates myself....

U2Rox Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hi Kerry, It was cool meeting up with everyone during the East Coast Trip. I'm going to do my best to make sure I'm on a plane to California in Aug. That will be a flight I do Not want to miss!! Jayson, you just made my day! OMG!! Sushi Candy, Candy Sushi!! If you can imagine Homer with Donuts (insert here)!!!! I'll be extra nice to you on the boards just to experience that again. Crazy Puppet Show, 2 (The Remix Tour)! Ha ha, should be fun!!

spacemtfan Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Question: I keep hearing about Q-Bots in other trip reports. What are those and will we use them on any of the trips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrancew_hod Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 ^Think of them as fast passes that cost a lot, but move you though the rides fairly quickly. If the trip goes through a park that uses them, they may purchase them so that the group has a chance to ride all the coasters. Sometimes the park may be so crowded, this may be the only way to get all the coasters in. I know they came in handy when we did the Midwest trip.

hyyyper Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Q-bots (or any sort of flash-quickqueue or fastpass) are heaven when it comes down to large parks. 2 hour queue? Not for you, I know these things spice up the price of a trip, but they are soooo worth it. Being able to take it easy on an already hectic trip and not having to stand in line ruining 75% of your day waiting is so good. To bad you get smacked with your face in the gravel if you visit a Cedar Fair park... Speaking of which, on the WCT, will we get (unlimited) express passes at Universal Hollywood?

SharkTums Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 ^We most likely won't need it (and we will not spend a full day at Universal either), but as always, expect some sort of cool perk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemtfan Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 ^ What about the Texas Trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Emails just went out to EVERYONE who I have received deposits from to date! If you sent in a deposit and did not receive an email, EMAIL ME ASAP! Get your deposits in NOW!!!! If you're planning on sending in a deposit, give me a heads up email cause I'm trying to figure out if we'll need lotteries or not for some of the trips! Thanks!

coasterdude5 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've searched but I can't find how the lottery system works... could somebody explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've searched but I can't find how the lottery system works... could somebody explain? You buy a ticket and if the numbers on your ticket match the numbers they draw you get rich! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 The lottery could be referring to this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lottery I'll be sending a deposit for the Deep South trip. I'm on the fence for the Texas trip. I'm sure this has been answered, but will there be a special "luxury bus" for those going from the Deep South trip to the Texas trip?

SharkTums Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 If more people sign up for a trip than I have spots, we will have to draw names to see who can go. I wouldn't worry too much though, because I don't think we'll be over on most trips, and on the ones that we are it should only be by a few and then with drops and changes someone on the wait list will probably make it in! As for a bus from the Deep South to Texas...No. We looked into it, but there are no parks to hit, it would take a while, and was almost as expensive as just flying!

coasterdude5 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 ^ Thanks, I figured it was along those lines. I wanted to make sure you didn't have to pay extra for "lottery tickets". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Do you have an end time for the Texas trip (i.e. time expected back at the airport)? (For working out flight possibilities back home). I know this will be in the more detailed itineraries, but we need to pick a day to take our trip back to Australia pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrzyjames Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I cant decide between the Deep South and Texas trips. It's not too late to send in a deposit right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
