dammie16@vt.edu Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 So when I got my new car last month I decided that it would be the star of my PTR's. The license plate is DAMIN8R and they don't say mini's drive they say they motor thus the title of the topic So I have been to KI and CP with my Mini but I haven't taken photos of either. I was too angry when I left KI but that is another story and I live so close to CP that I will get around to doing it eventually lol SO to start out I captured the fun I had at Waldameer! This park reminded me a lot of Knoebels except it was closer to civilization. The atmoshpere was great and very family oriented. A group of older folks (28-35 ish) actually got thrown out because they kept shouting "You're gay, and You're a Homo" off the mega vortex to their friends. I was glad to see they took the family atmosphere rules seriously! As far as rides they were all great! The only problem I had with this park was the operators. Except for the Ravine Flyer crew the operators couldn't seem to care less about life. I understand it is a mundane job but it is also your job to lie and be friendly to your customers! It was more of a "Get on, buckle in.....Welcome back, unbuckle get off" attitude. Now about RFII.......WOW this coaster is beastly. Very smooth and very fast. I have also never seen a ride that had such a drastic personality change after dark. It was absolutely insane at night. All in all it was a fun day. Here are some photos! Broken up into two posts the second post will be the rapid fire series of RFII. And in the end the DAMIN8R gets his first TPR Photo Trip report credit and his third park credit! THIS IS THE FREAKING COOLEST TUNNEL EVER. Seriously this log flume is my favorite of the generic log flumes because of this tunnel. He is so happy because water makes for amazing rapid fire lol Here are two rapid fire Log flume shots! I like this it was a lot of fun, Knoebels is still better though! Good old fashioned fun house! This, for being short, is a lot of fun! The best part is all the people think, since they know it goes right when it gets to the top, they will know get on and look up only to see they can't see the top with the wing that sticks out! LMAO We spun a lot too because I was always a single rider lol It was fun but not great. Steel Dragon my first spinning coaster of this type. Because you have a great ride but you lose your balls LOL I have decided to rename this ride to Marriage: The Experience. We made it! I see the light at the end of the tunnel, to quote Family Guy, "OH NO! I knoooow!" Willy Wonka's Boat Ride!!! The train has a tunnel and due to bulb on my camera I turned it into... This shot makes me dizzy lol Nerd shot? I like to think so. Upskirt Lift Hill! There was some great airtime on these babies. Right before and after NINETY DEGREEEES!!! Rumor has it Ravine Flyer III is an aquatrax and here is proof. That is my last Aquatrax joke I promise! Ferris Wheel upskirt through the trees! AND AN AQUATRAX!! OMG THEY ARE GETTING A NEW GCI OR GG WOODIE!!! This had some good speed I can't imagine the famous fat TPR train load lol Double Decker! I didn't really fit lol Then I got on the train to get more "behind the scenes" photos And got a new Angus burger, and was surprised at how good it was! Then i stopped off at a TPR favorite And yes I know that had nothing to do with the last picture lol Side note I kept yelling Ninety degrees on the ride and people kept looking at me funny lol Looking back from this spot Behind the SCEEENNNEESS I trekked ALL the way down this hill for you guys! I like this photo a lot too! another view Sexy curves Up close and personal! The steel structure for a wooden coaster was kinda awesome! Upskirt, i see london! This lot lets you get some great views of the Second drop. Overflow lot! AND it is blue, no it is not sad it is inanimate sheesh... Best road ever So...many...pics...through the trees... This is my favorite picture of all the ones I took! This is the ultimate TPR cliche photo. You have the mandatory sign shot and lift hill shot THROUGH THE TREES. My browser just imploded! Thanks to these guys for their awesome parking lot that has a view of coasters! Sign, welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dammie16@vt.edu Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 OK so I went up to CP today to finally take some pictures and here they are. Seeing as CP is a highly photographed park, these are what I got from Telephoto and rapid fire only! Two posts coming first is the TP lens and beginning of RF and then the second post is the rest of the RF. Enjoy! Part 2 of rapids fire is on its way! One of my favorite parts of this ride, though I kinda like the whole ride lol Rapids Fire Side action RF Park sign photo credit 2! We are upside down again! Even with this Mantis still delivers a pretty good ride Up close and Intamin 2 Lift hill shot! You know you have a good ride when everyone always has hands up! See? No airtime on this ride? I think not. The back row was a good ride today Want to know what it focused on? Try the bird that looks like it was photo shopped in! Stupid high tech cameras! This is still my #1 cosater I freaking love this drop! First turn highest point on MF! Most everybody who came around this corner had this look on lol Rapids nerd shot? I think so... Yeh you are about to be owned by water Waterfall! They enjoyed weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Lean forward and look at the drop! No water jets today though This is the only part that hurts a little. Again a bit blurry Up close and Intamin 1 Second best lift hill ever! Here is proof, best face award goes tooooo....... In the front its a 6/10 anywhere else its like a 4. Telephoto is not good for fast action when zoomed all the way lol At first I didn't like this but for some reason I do, maybe the color idk. Gemini! I like this photo Upskirt and personal! Upskirt Christmas!!! tree lights... Row twos faces are awesome So tall From the beginning of the line. You think she was forced onto this ride? Here is another hint Name the ride nerd photo! At least her friends enjoyed! Poor girl was subject to my photos lol Clean up on aisle 3 What a great view! When are we going to.... Through the trees is the only worthwhile thing in this ride lol I love this ride too! Front Spike, man I would NOT want to climb that ladder. Back Spike nerd photo First drop excitement? I think so... Supporgy and train shot We are upside down! I really don't know what he is pointing at lol Lift hill nerd shot! Mooo...wait Caw! Demon Drop!

cprocks22 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Great TR so far! Very nice pictures, and it is a lot of fun to scroll through quickly and watch the rides. I might be a little biased cause of the Mini, I've had my Mini for over a year now and I'm in love. Keep up the great TR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
