Six Flags Enthuseast Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) I'll skip the typical crap I normally say at the beginning explaining my situation and just get right to the photos. EDIT: Since I broke my camera, I'd like to ask anybody if they have suggestions for a new one I should get. Thank you for your feedback. How can you tell if you're in California? Look at the license plates! (and the amount of cars on the road) How's it goin', Buzz? Lots of very interesting clouds floating around the bay that day. Hey, that just rhymed! We just happened to be passing SFDK.... ....because we wanted to check out that Jelly Belly Factory that TPR did last year! Pretty colors! Do you like jelly beans? Then this is probably your place! We liked this shirt, so we bought it. This 'sample fudge' was pretty good. However, the salespeople were really high pressure, so we only got 2 small blocks. Goodbye psycodelic Jelly Belly world! On a sidenote, as the sign on the top right says, they were selling Belly Flops for $30 for 5 bags. They were really big bags, and we're still pigging out on them to this day! Can you tell it was bright that day? Or that I was facing the sun? "Due to the amount of Belly Flops I may be about to consume, it is very well be possible that I will be able to fit onto Medusa tomorrow..... Yay! First official 'in-seat' credit!" Jelly Belly truck credit! 2nd part of update to follow. Thanks for reading! Edited May 31, 2010 by Six Flags Enthuseast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatdaddy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 That looks like a cool side trip, i am planning to go there next time i hit those parks. Those bellyflops are great, 'til you get one that tastes like ass. They sell um at the 99 cent store for, um, 99 cents. Good report, something different.

robbalvey Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Belly Flops really are the best things accidentally invented! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) ^Absolute truth! Right onto SFDK. "Ok, because this is a SERIOIUS event, we must make a checklist of all important items needed for the day. Me: Check. Camera.... well, duh!....." "....complimentary SFDK parking pass: Check......." ".....directions to SFMW: Check...... wait..... SAAAYYY WHAAAAAAAT?" "....Krispy Kreme for breakfast: Check...." ".....and iFly Indoor Skydiving, just incase boredom or something that causes the dimension to invert makes us to want to do something other than the Tony Hawk Water Challenge: Check. We're all ready to go!" We spent too much time eating doughnuts! We're gonna miss ERT on this sexy, Swiss beast! Indeed, it is VERY sexy! As is this. No LIMs for us today..... Or ever. Also sexy.... but this ride lives up to the song 'You Give Love a Bad Name'. Park Entrance Sign whores rejoice! We got here late and missed the dolphin show. But I took advantage of this time to take a few shots of Medu..... CRAP! WE'RE MISSING ERT!! Only 150 ft tall.... but 150 times better than Scream! IMO. After 2 rides on Medusa (not only did we arrive late for ERT, but I also happened to be in the train that stopped on the final brake section during the little e-stop), 1 on Kong, and... I think 1 on Hammerhead Shark, I got back to taking pics. Yet another Vekoma ride that gives Love a bad name. I really don't get the name for this thing... Scat-A-Bout..... WTF? Wwwwwhhhhhiiiiiirrrrrrr...... pssssstttttt........clunk!.... Some hot looking Boomerang curves. 2 Vekoma trains, 1 shot! SFDK's Skycoaster is one of those weird looking, wide ones. Skycoaster sign. This one is pretty expensive, but thanks to SFMM Fanboy's mom, we got 2 rides for the price of one! This is what happens to you when you eat all 5 large bags of Jelly Flops in 1 night! Wassup, Hanno? "Hello, I'm Mrs. African Elephant!" "I am able to stand on 3 feet with no problem...." "....I have very large toes....." ".....2 teeth......." ".....a long, bendy nose....." ".....and really big ears!" "I am also able to stand ontop of a small stool....." "......lie down VERY gracefully, considering I weight so much...." "....hold lots of sticks with my trunk...." ".....and ride an Intamin Giant Drop! I'm practicing for when CGA gets its own little animal park!" "Phew!...all of these moves are tiring me out... I could use a snack." Guy:"Wow, that thing just walked right in front of me and took a bananna from me! That's nearly as cool as getting stuck on Medusa!" Elephant:"Medusa e-stop>>>>>me eating. Trust me, it gets kinda boring after a while." See 'ya later, ........ uhhhh....... Captain Lee to th rescue? Lucario:"Who are you?" Bumblebee:"That yellow 2009 Camaro from Transformers." Lucario:"Hmmm.... So it seems like SFMM Fanboy has been inspired by Six Flags Enthuseast to bring a sorta 'Not-so-Flat Stanley' to parks, too?' Bumblebee:"Yup." Lucario:"So I guess we're like rivals or something?" Bumblebee:"Let's just shut up and watch the show!" Lucario:"Agreed." Lucario:"All of these people...." "....against this elephant?" "No Vekoma-Brace-Position can prepare all these TPR members for the kick in the a$$ they're about to get!" Bumblebee:"Glad I told you to shut up and watch?" Lucario:"YES!" "Hey Elissa, strike a pose.....SNAP!....Thanks!" Let's all be good sports and make peace with that hecka-strong elephant who just seriously dissed on us all! Ha! Kong just got stuck on the lift hill.... Medusa:1 Kong:0 A better full view of Skycoaster. Skyrate picoaster! Boomerang goes right the heck over the path, allowing you to get good shots like this! And this. 2 Vekoma trains again! Did it just stall there? No it didn't. Don't get your hopes up so easily! The show I missed.=( V2.5 'through the trees'! V2.5, brought to you with limited tree interuption.... ....by Minute Maid! I rate BAB a 6 so far! I had to get my obligatory 'Palm Tree Shot to prove to friends that I was just in California' shot. LIMs ahoy! This was the final shot taken by my camera, as it got caught around a picnic table while I was carrying it and it fell to the ground. R.I.P. Kodak EasyShare: 2004-2010 =( But this still means I can get a new camera that takes WAAAYY better pictures! Once I get a new camera, I'll show off some of the pictures I got at CGA on a disposable camera. Thanks for reading!

atem122 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hahaha, they have that exact same free fudge sign at SFMM! Hooray for unintentional amusement park tie ins! And nice start to the PTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatdaddy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I really don't get the name for this thing... Scat-A-Bout..... WTF? Well scat = poop, so i think they are implying that after you ride it you may have random unpredictable bowel movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFMM fanboy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 LOL to the whole Lucario Bumblebee thing. I would love to see more SFMW (cough) SFDK pkototos if your camera didn't die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 ^^ LMAO the pictures of your moms are so funny. Your moms all like "I'm having a good time, yay." ^ Your mom looks like she is trying to figure out exactly whats going on. LOL! My friends Dad was kind of similar about WCB, and he didnt even go with us. My friend told him we were going to a roller coaster enthusiast event and he said "There are actual roller coaster enthusiasts?" Anyway, awesome pictures even though the report was not finished, but I have always enjoyed your trs in the past and this is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Here's a video of my mom and me on Xtreme Skyflyer at CGA the day after SFDK. I'm having trouble uploading it to TPR, so I'll post the link to it. EDIT: I'm sorry it's been so long, but I finally got a camera that can take decent pictures. I'll post them soon.
