fatdaddy Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I only like trip reports that I am in. Did I make it onto page 69? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo19799 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 First off, I just want to point out that this thread is on page 69. Â Chad, I don't know if I have a favorite trip report. You and I have been on two TPR trips, and you've visited the midwest twice now. I've whored out Illinois with you, went to several parks with you not to mention Lambeau Field. We had many laughs and great times. However there are two things that stick out right now, first off our trip to HW for Holiwood Nights. I don't think next year will top it, but we can sure go again and try! Second, your taco reports for both Indiana Beach and the Leviathon trip. Â Thanks for letting me be apart of your shenanigans. I think I need to visit your neck of the woods soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggernel Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 My god! That ginger Dementor appears to be sucking out those poor ladies' souls! Â My favorite report was this last one. I have a soft spot for Adventureland. I truly believe if the park added one or two world class rides, they could easily be thrown into the mix of parks like Holiday World and Knoebels. The setting and the the charm is all there. Plus their water park is amazing! And that rotor, I love it when they actually let the floor drop, much better than the slow lowering you get on most.

Sir Clinksalot Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Great stuff Chad. One day if I find myself driving across the country and somehow in Iowa I hope to check this place out. Â As for my favorite TR this year, gotta be WCB ... because we got to hang out and stuff. Â Then again, hearing about your Taco was pretty badass too.

chadster Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Ok, so there are 16 entries for the drawing. Since there were really no rules to begin with and honestly I didn't find any of the captions to make me spit out my water, I decided to do two drawings instead of picking the funniest caption. Entries are based on the Mega Millions drawing tomorrow night. Matching the first ball drawn to your number assigned. If no number is drawn on the 01-16 range, well, I will make something else up, or just match column two, either way, two winners will receive some awesome stuff. Pretty sure this makes it not possible for someone to win twice, but in case it doesn't, you can't win twice.   01 - Sspaz1000 02 - Sspaz1000 Bonus for pg69 03 - PAL 04 - beatle11 05 - Big Mike 06 - Big Mike Bonus for pg69 07 - Chroniq 08 - Chroniq Bonus for pg69 09 - Packfanlv Bonus for pg69 10 - Packfanlv 11 - Fatdaddy Bonus for pg69 12 - Fatdaddy 13 - Jojo19799 Bonus for pg69 14 - Jojo19799 15 - triggernel Bonus for pg69 16 - triggernel 17 - The Yeti 18 - Chrisrad 19 - Sir Clinksalot  Thanks to everyone who participated!!  Edit: So the Mega Millions winning numbers presented a small challenge, they were 16, 32, 39, 41, 53 with a Megaball of 16. Therefore making it difficult to have two winners based on the numbers, so, making up the rules as I go along, because that's what I do, I have decided to add the winning number together to get 7 (actually it's what I had in mind anyway so I made it up a while ago)  So what does all of this mean?  It means that the two winners are tiggernel and Chroniq. Congrats I still don't know how he manages to win all the time, but he does. So, PM me you addresses and I will send you stuff. I think I have Chroniq's but it's lost in a 300 post chat conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggernel Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) I got my Pile of Poopoo in the mail today; lovin it! A lot of the stuff is from parks I visited last year, which is great because now I have brochures and maps from two years in a row. Thanks again Chadster! A Huge envelope arrived today. All of this was (barely) stuffed inside. Really Excited for FOUR issues of Pathfinder. It's a really good read! And lastly, more tickets to add to my ever-expanding collection. Thanks again!

chadster Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Recently I embarked on an epic 2 week adventure that took me to Haunt @ WOF, shot an update on the construction of Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City, flew to Houston and visited the Zoo and ITz (BTW: the credit whoring opportunity is now gone, nada, zero, it's been removed), spent the night in a beach front room in Galveston, quick flight to San Antonio to visit Sea World and process my pass before catching another flight to Orlando for 5 days at WDW, Busch, Sea World, Fun Spot, World of Beer, EPCOT's 30th, Dave and Busters, and World of Beer. I ended the trip at World of Beer with Jake. At midnight.On his 21st.To celebrate his first ever drink. and then made my way home. When the plane landed I cried knowing that I had a date with the State Fair in this run down crap hole of a town. The lady sitting next to me asked if I was glad to be home. No, I said, I'd rather play a nice game of what's in my mouth with Piers than be here. With a puzzled look on her face she said sorry to hear that. Me too, I replied, me too. Â And now I present, Chris Con: A Journey to EPCOT Chris Con's journey to EPCOT started at the crack of dawn on Oct 1st, a journey that had many twists and turns, a journey that at times would get him lost, a journey that would have him forget everything that happened, and a journey that begins here. Chris deduces that we must be near EPCOT as this time of year they host Food and Wine, and where there is Food and Wine, there are people who enjoy Food and Wine. Pausing for a brief moment to think, Chris asked for directions to EPCOT from Mr. Dinosaur. This way, Chris says, through this field we will find EPCOT. "See" Chris says, "This giant pile of poop proves we are getting close to EPCOT's International Food and Wine Festival" Following his senses, Chris led us to water, but I refused to drink. We stopped for a moment to consult a map, but the map was obviously just someones fantasy. So up we went into a Haunted Tower, a Tower that didn't assist much in finding our way. Then steps in Mr. Potato Head whom Chris knew well. Mr. P Head tells us to follow him. So follow him we did. Mr. Potato Head came through bringing us in through the rear entry. EPCOT at last Chris exclaims and quickly runs to the first country he sees. Belgium. But whilst at Belgium we ran into Bean. Bean, like his daddy, likes Belgium. But Chris' Journey through Epcot was just beginning. Many challenges would face him throughout the day, like sharks. And Beverley. But as the evening wore on Chris developed a passion to visit each Country. And whilst in each country he would need photographic proof of his visit. Chris' keen since of direction lead us to EPCOT so how could I not travel the world with him? So we met up with the locals who gave us great advice on where to visit next. The locals said we might want to try out the Country of Florida, so off we went. Apparently people get married in Florida. Obviously Florida no longer has 72 virgins. Also in the Country of Florida was Jenn and Steve who gave us great advice as to where to go next. In fact, they agreed to join us on this Journey. A quick step to China found an avid pin collector. But for some reason Chris enjoyed Singapore, so back we went. Mainly because the people of Singapore are quite friendly. But when I least expected it Chris commandeered by camera. And went to seek advice from wise men. Men that could possibly lead us to the best countries on earth. Instead they led us to two of the best chef's on earth. Who informed us that duck was a very popular meat. So, Chris attempted to lour the duck over with Sam Adam's After a nice meal of duck, Chris went further on his journey of getting advice from the locals. The locals were quite helpful. Many willing to share their wisdom, their wisdom on night time activities. So lead the way sayeth Chris. Professor Popandlock(that would be the dog) was none to thrilled to be talking with Chris. So Chris decided to surf the web... ...and take a moment to reflect on where this journey would lead next. Jenn was starting to get slightly upset with Chris' indecisiveness but I convinced her he was a wise man, a man of much knowledge, a man that would lead her to the promise land. So off we went with bean flying through customs. Where we visited yet another country. But then the rains came and we all gathered under Renee's tiny umbrella to stay dry. Good things really do come in small packages. Meanwhile over in Europe. Steve takes a quick look at the map to see what country we have not yet been to. Ah ha he says. Mexico we go! And Mexico we went Not sure what country this was in, by now I'm just following the leader. But what I do know is night was falling. So we got great seats for this show called 'World of Color' Which was quite epic. But then I was told by the wise one that this was EPCOT's 30th Birthday! Unfortunately Chris got lost in Italy on yet another Journey of which Renee and Jenn headed up a search team to find him. Too bad he missed out on these amazing fireworks. And so it ends, Chris' Journey to EPCOT. We visited 14 countries, chatted with the locals, hung out with awesome friends, and made amazing memories. This is what life is all about. Â Chris Con: A Journey to EPCOT could not have been possible without the assistance from Andrew and Kaleen. Thanks guys! Â Promotional consideration was brought to you by BEER. That's B.E.E.R.
