RCoasterny Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 This was the largest fan I have ever seen. It was bigger than most airplane propellers. Â This is actually made by an company called Big Ass Fans. Their company website is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Now it's time for a side trip from our regularly scheduled update. It's time for LESLIE HALL! Ok, so there is some food because it was snack trading night, and while there are not any 'fatties' in this portion of the report, there are a lot of BODY ROLLS!!!! Elissa arranged the most incredible and awesome special guest, Leslie Hall, to hang out with us for a bit. It was a ton of fun and definitely made this one of the most epic moments I've ever had with TPR. There is no better way to start this off, then with a link to the single greatest music video EVER!!!! Well, enough of my rambling, on to the report! Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1c2KzJbcGA Â *I just found a few more pictures and added them at the end* Nothing says a TPR bus ride like a little Yo Gabba Gabba! You can't be serious Elissa! We are really going to meet Leslie Hall?!!!!!!! It's like the twilight zone. We are literally in the middle of nowhere waiting for Leslie Hall. Leslie Hall has arrived! Rich approves of the Body Rolls! High kicks, high kicks, this is how we do it! I've heard the "Braid My Hair" song, now we need a pull my hair song! Mmmm, tasty! Robb gets some cat like lady musk action! She has the best facial expressions! Leslie Hall enjoys the worldwide assortment of snacks. Chew and... ...Pose! Those glasses are awesome! Hold on ladies, time for a snack first. Damn, these are actually really good! NOM NOM NOM! Only Leslie Hall could pull off a sexy pose with a mouth full of Snyder's! So do you come here often? We get smothered in Lady Musk! Leslie Hall meets one of TPR's most famous celebrities, Ice Bat! They became immediate friends. This picture has TPR written all over it! Leslie Hall even got a Dave smile! Dave uses his other hand the activate her tight pants! Robb stares at this picture every night before going to bed. I'm serious. These pretzel bites are amazing. So I can buy these pretzels at Piggly Wiggly? And they have different flavors?! The store is open for business! This is how Leslie Hall rolls. So how much for the vessel of shimmy? I'll take the stripping Leslie Hall pen, and the CD with the scratch and sniff lady musk sticker. (and yes, those were actual items!!!!) She's a cage of spandex! Rich practices his high kicks with the queen of high kicks! Russ' leg hairs quivered and screamed! Leslie Hall bends Robb over and treats him like a little baby kitty. Laura wants to dance in those pants! More vessels of shimmy! Not only was Leslie Hall there, but they also had Mello Yello! Not only did she sign Amy's shirt, but she rubbed it all over her body so that Amy would get some good lady musk on it! Trent has some personal time with Leslie in the corn! Look at those sexy beasts! Leslie teaches Amy how to do the awesome Shazam faces. This is how we do it! For Leslie, Travis definitely will bat from the other side! The poor Yocals at the Skoal Cellar Lounge had no clue what hit them. Thank you Leslie Hall, Elissa and Robb for an incredible unforgettable Glitter Hands night!!!

Meteornotes Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 This was one of the most epic evenings EVER. Between Leslie, the snack exchange, the lounge, and the locals hanging out with us, much insane fun was had. The only thing this report was missing were photos of the deadly swarms of insects that would attack us whenever we would step outside.

I really can't remember a time in my life when I have had that much fun. TPR is absolutely the greatest group to hang out with.  ^^We need Leslie Hall to re-mix that song!

KCForce Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I love Leslie Hall. I've been a fan for a few years now. She can actually rap really well. And I don't like rap. She's got a good singing voice too. She is a diva in my book. Glad others TPR folks like her, makes me feel normal....oh wait we're talking TPR folks and myself....all of us are far from normal...

coastercrzyjames Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for posting those photos Joey!! That night was a total blast, one of the best nights on the Mid-America trip by far!! I don't even remember how much I drank that night, but I consumed a lot! And seeing Leslie Hall was def worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyzoo Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 That was such a fun night. Leslie was so fun and crazy to hang out with, I still tell people about meeting her and taking all kinds of crazy pictures. Didn't we buy out all her merchandise from the back of her car?

larrygator Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 When I met up with TPR in the basement lounge of the Bates Motel, with no pre-knowledge of Leslie Hall I had absolutely no clue what the hell was going on. Quite surreal and scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Time for another update! Today was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for any coaster enthusiast, a pilgrimage to the Almighty, Wonderful, Amazing, Perfect, Unbeatable, Extreme, Holy, PROWLER!!!!! Our pilgrimage first took us through Adventureland, and we had an awesome time there. It was very hot, but suffering is what part of a pilgrimage is all about! Goodbye Boondocks Bate's Motel! The location of the one of the greatest events in TPR history! It really was called Boondocks! This majestic flower pattern is 'A' for Adventureland! For some reason, Dan and John always went to the bathroom together.... with smiles on their faces. Johnny Knoxville greeted us as we entered. This is the tree that almost got me into Dave's greatest pictures of 2010! I was looking at my phone or camera and was heading straight for the tree. My wife, thankfully (for me, not for Dave), warned me right before I was about to hit it. Dave was so bummed and had his camera all ready and everything! I have to admit, it would have been an awesome picture. TPR tests out the Chicken Shack! The line for The Underground is TPR approved. Too bad The Underground was too dark for pictures! The show selection was incredible! By far the best show selections I have ever seen ! CrunchiCreme. Interesting name, but how can it be 'when available?' Are these items seasonal up North? I guess Jack is famous here. Looks like the garden frames need a little more 'garden.' Dan gets fingered before riding the Tornado. They are trying to go for the 'classic' look. As in Chernobyl theme park classic look. Nice layout and location. Of course, to some people this isn't that much better than a parking lot ;| I think this is where DCA got their idea for the color of their water. Ace must have been here. This one is for Chuck! Outlaw was a fun ride. Dave is still annoyed he wasn't able to get the picture of me bashing my head on the tree branch. The water park was small, but pretty modern and nice. Weeeeee! Twisty! Saw Mill Splash was very short, but on this hot of a day it was worth the wait. Although, we never did figure out if the urine smell was the water, or Bryan. I think their faces sum up the ride. Martin is happy because he got wet, and that he can now add another patch to his jacket! And that folks, is how it's done right. Pork Tenderloin? Hmm, I wonder what it is. Too bad, I was thinking it would've been more of a BBQ style sandwich, not a chicken fried pork thing on a bun. Wasn't bad though, just thought it would have been different. Can you guess which one of these things is not the like others? They totally need someone twitching on the end of the rope, and I have no clue what the boot is doing on top. Dan doesn't smile when he's on a ride, but he does if there are little boys around!? Hmmm.... This is one of Amy's favorite rides. He loves his job. Amy does her Bride of Frankenstein impression. Dan eats his necklace while Jake wonders who the creepy man taking his picture while hiding in the bushes is. Heading to the Clubhouse for some VIP treatment! Time for lunch and some delicious Coke! This is probably the most 'greens' I had the whole trip. Instead of throwing up on the rides after lunch, we decided to play some games! KidTums wins a Tiger! It was really hot, so we decided to hit the water park. You get some awesome air on the red white and blue slide. So I have to be exactly 48"? And what about the green tubes? I guess Iowa has a big foreign population. You can't really tell in this picture, but this was the largest single tube I have ever seen. It was almost double the size everyone else's tube. This lady wasn't 'fat,' but definitely not as small as she looks in the picture. We had a nice time at the water park! Time to head back into the park. If I only had a pole and a fryer! Are we going the wrong way? The ferris wheel was nice and relaxing, and gave us some nice views of the park. Ok, so some views were also sad. This was the location of the big fire they recently had. A 'mini' 1 row Top Spin. Nice view of the park. Michael and Colin (and the rest of the GP) do not seem too impressed with Falling Star. Luckily the wheels stayed on for this Space Shot, unlike our adventure in Alabama! I hope that is only dirt on the cable, and not fraying. I totally should have bought this for Jewy. We had a great day at Adventureland, but now it was time to meet some of KidTums' new friends on our way to ERT at Worlds of Fun! Kidtums decided to take some self portraits. We have about 50 on our camera We all just about lost it seeing this guy as we walked in. Holy Crap, Elissa's Dad is on the ads! We've made it to the Holy Land! Robb blesses each one of us so we don't burn in the presence of PROWLER. Joey, did you see her? Did I see wh.....Oh, wow. Holy F, there's another one coming! She could totally kill me if she wanted to. That was a LADY!?!? Dan is surrounded by bubbles and young children. He has never been so happy in his entire life. Time for the Boomerang. Gotta get the credit . What am I doing! Time for a quick ride on Mamba! Yay, we're one ride closer to Prowler! Spinning Dragons was.....Spinning. There is no way this has been walked on in years. The walkway was so warped and bent. We are all waiting to be allowed into the presence of..... PROWLER!!!!! THE SINGLE GREATEST ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT EVER!!!!!! Each person reacts to their first ride on Prowler in their own way. John was blessed with the gift of light. The Flying Dutchman actually flew. I was crying too much to actually capture the miracle. It's so beautiful. Words cannot describe it. Prowler was like forbidden sugar to Dan. All ready for their ride on the greatest coaster........EVER!!! Ashley is now officially a man. PROWLER is so amazing, it undid Elissa's pants! After such a blessed occasion (ok, so Prowler was good, but not nearly as incredible as people made it out to be), we were all too awake to go to bed and decided to have a TPR takeover at Waffle House! John likes it Topped and Country. Amy likes it Covered and Chunked. I got a small plate Chunked and Country, toast, and a FIesta Omelet.... and of course, a Waffle!!!! It was delicious!
