CoasterKings908 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Hmmmmm. This is Tricky I would have to say Disney In PARIS
robbalvey Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 I am just under the assumption that he wouldn't be spending his trip taking care of stuff like that. If he is London/Paris somewhere else he probably has other stuff to worry about. Or maybe I'm just jetlagged and still up getting caught up on things due to the time change?
Mike Austin Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Edit: I should read to the bottom of the page. Â I reckon you're at home.
Wes Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 They are going to Thorpe Park in England for the opening of SAW.
TPDave Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 ^ Yup, I figured it out because of the pictures of the chocolate bars...
televisedconfession Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 ^By God, I can't believe I didn't think of that. But, for argument's sake, do you think they might be going to Thorpe Park for the opening of Saw instead?
andyuk200523 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 My thinking on the saw thing is that they are already having riders on saw for TV appearances......quite a bit of media coverage in fact... Â ....for us UK peeps, check out Paul o Grady late this week or early next week. and all the local news channels at the end of the week, Oh and adverts have been filmed already. Â Â Â Beings as Robb and Elissa have a "special" connection with Thorpe, I am sure they have managed to secure a ride pre-open day. Â In a way it would be cool for them to ride early, but I hope they don't reveal too much about the ride, I want the full experience next week when I ride! I've already had to shut my ears to my mate who works at Thorpe, I don't wanna know too much!!! Â Sorry for going a bit off topic there guys.............wonder where robb is at the moment, would have thought there would have been a post by now.....he is probably reading all these and laughing to himself! Â Andrew
cfc Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Once again, I have deduced three places where "Robb and Elissa Are Not." Yes, I know you are all impressed with my deductive powers--sometimes, they frighten even me! Â Robb and Elissa are not: 3. trying to pull themselves out of this this grease trap after a bender at J. M. Randalls in Williamsburg. Where else are they not? 2. enjoying a brew with Bela Lugosi at Castle Dracula; or 1. increasing their knowledge of American history at President's Park;
sixflagsguy5 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I'm gunna go with Australia. There are a bunch of cool coasters out there.
robbalvey Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 CLICK HERE! for the FULL UPDATE! Â ...And now! For the grand finale of "Where in the world are Robb & Elissa III!" Â We are now at our final destination...back home. Â Â I hope you all enjoyed following and playing along. As a nice reward to all of you, here is a brand spankin' new TPR video of the Mindbender at Galaxyland! Â [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=mindbender_15br_vny6[/coastertube] Mindbender Video including forwards and *BACKWARDS* POV! Â We have also posted our FULL UPDATE here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=310&linkid=4742 Â 5 pages full of photos from Nick Universe, Galaxyland, and our freezing cold adventure! Â And now I want to award all the people who figured out where we were based on the photos and clues! Â X2coasterfreak was the first person to guess "Minneapolis St. Paul." here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=710997#710997 Â bdstrom was the first person to narrow down the first location based on the photos here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711017#711017 Â ParkTrips first mentioned Edmonton, but he's disqualified since he kind of knew a while ago that we would be doing this eventually. Â sillytrixx was the first person to give us details about multiple photos here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711278#711278 Â Wes was the first person to prove one of the photos by using another photo as reference: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711284#711284 Â Wes was also the first person to figure out Edmonton based on the clues here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711359#711359 Â But since Wes disqualified himself because he's a good sport and doesn't really NEED a bag-of-crap Chroniq was the first person besides Wes to put all the pieces together here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711495#711495 Â and here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711500#711500 Â and also to prove that Chroniq has no life at all, he also posted this: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711509#711509 Â and then to follow up Chroniq's lack of social life he proved to the world that he's also a stalker by calling us here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711591#711591 Â (Don't worry, we don't actually think you're a stalker!) Â And then finally BeemerBoy was the first to post that we'd be going home here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711604#711604 Â All of you will get BAGS OF CRAP so PM me your mailing address! Â And now, for the full update, click here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=310&linkid=4742 Â THANK YOU all for playing! Hopefully we will do this again soon! Â --Robb
Wes Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I'm still thinking you're headed to the UK to ride SAW...or maybe Australia? Â Awesome update! You guys kept me entertained during an otherwise boring weekend! DO MORE OF THESE!!!!
owen_john Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 The 23 could relate to a persons age who they may be meeting up with in the UK?
Wes Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 The 23 could relate to a persons age who they may be meeting up with in the UK? Â Yes, that is it! They are going to the UK! To ride SAW! With a 23 year old! You figured it out! Great job!
dusty588 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Hey Rob and Elisa. I live in Edmonton, and I knew that that one picture of the sign was from WEM. By the way, how did you guys like the mall? Â Dustyn
robbalvey Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 ^ It was awesome! Check out our update and you'll see we loved it: http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=310&linkid=4742 Â --Robb
whakojacko Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I second doing more of these, even if they aren't as far as Canada. It was fun trying to decipher the clues and how they related. Â I would hardly call canada far . Agree this was fun though...
the ghost Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 It's far for a short trip, and is pretty far from so cal, especially with a toddler at home. When my youth pastors daughter was two and we were at a seven day camp, he did not want to leave her at home for that long so he actually called another youth pastor that came to camp, and my youth pastor drove down the mountain(my camp is at the top of the mountain) with three days of camp remaining. Â LMAO at the Michael Phelps thing. Â BTW Elissa, do you like my sig?
andyuk200523 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Awesome......you got me! Â Have to say Mindbender looks great, one of the truly awesome coasters left in this world. Â Is it just a Mirror Image of the Drier Looping/Magnum Force from Flamingoland, that was a hell of a lot of fun to ride, they retrofitted the cars to remove the accordian restraints and replaced them with racecar 5 point safety harnesses, much comfort was had on it! Â With all these Schwarzkopf's being removed/closed/relocated from random locations round the world, it is good to see somewhere keeping theirs and looking after it! Â Good Trip Report too Robb/Elissa, keep up your great work. Â Andrew
robbalvey Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Is it just a Mirror Image of the Drier Looping/Magnum Force from Flamingoland, No, this was MUCH bigger and far more intense. I'd been on Magnum Force and thought it was pretty good (still prefered Bullet, though), but this ride blew us away...especially backwards! Â --Robb
TheRapidsNerd Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 De power of de Schwartz! That just looked wicked awesome.
televisedconfession Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 ^Hahaha "May the Schwarz be with youuuuandyouuuuandyouuuuuu..." Â You know what I love about Schwarz's, are the helixes at the end. This was interesting because it was an upward helix. Â Man, this looks great! Great film work too Robb! Glad the three of you had fun! Â Neil "Spaceballs the FLAME-THROWER!!!" Curiel
