Joe Cool Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) This is my Photo Trip Report from the 2011 Road To Cedar Point. We decided that this should of been the name of the trip because of how much time and money we spent at the T.G.I. Friday's at the Hotel Breakers Cedar Point. Pretty much spent way to much money at Fridays and probably not going to a T.G.I. Fridays for a long time. This trip to me is one of the greatest and most epic vacations I have ever taken and cannot wait for 2012 TPR trips. From the amazing parks that we visited, ERT, roller coasters, drinking, TGI Fridays, and meeting the most amazing people. Just want to Thank Robb and Elissa for such an amazing and awesome time. To start off the trip our hotel was so close to New York City I knew I could not pass up the opportunity to visit New York City and ride the Cyclone. So met up with Canadian Chris, Stephen Harrington,and Cliff Lake for some Coney Island fun. We went to Coney Island on that Tuesday and Wednesday we met up with Anth for some New York City sight seeing. Just want to say that using the subway is the easiest and awesome way to get around the city. Luna Park was awesome and very nice, but man if you want to spend a day at Luna Park/Coney Island make sure you got a lot of cash. I pretty much decided that I could spend all day to just sit somewhere is New York City and people watch. Enjoy!!! Nathans Famous Hot Dogs. Not bad for the first thing you see when you arrive at Coney Island from the subway. I see you Wonder Wheel Oh What Up Cyclone? Nobody has this picture From The Wonder Wheel What do you wanna ride next? The Ghost Hole yeah that sounds nice I Found Steeplechase to be really fun. Very Surprising Then this thing. Which ended up not being as bad as it looks. This may look like your normal carnival game. The prizes outside hanging up are just to disguise the illegal operations. haha I am serious the operator of it had like stacks of hundred dollar bills saying if we picked the right number we could win big money. Definitely one of my favorite moments of Coney Island. Wonder Wheel Sup Bro? Like Kobayashi. The real hot dog champion That's it for now. New York City sight seeing next.

beatle11 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Good times! I love how we crammed like 6 adults and a toddler into the Wonder Wheel! Despite this, Coney Island really looked cleaned up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cool Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Alright time for NYC sightseeing and pizza. A great way to start of the trip. New Jersey side looking at NYC with the Liberty Tower Waiting for the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. Tip if you want to go to the Statue of Liberty and don't want to wait in a line board the ferry on the New Jersey side. Statue of Liberty in the background Statue of Liberty Time Got It The Stock Exchange Unfortunately we didn't eat at the New Fancy Food. We did have some amazing pizza at Lombardi's though. Delicious Margarita Pizza Best name Ever Now time for some Little Italy for a Cannoli run. Mmmmm Cannolis We asked a cop what the best place was for a cannoli, he told us to just go down this street and any place is good. Subway shot. Can't go to New York and not ride the subway Time Square Happy New Year!!! Me and The Naked Cowgirl. Apparently her and The Naked Cowboy are business partners. Only in NYC Giant Ass Toy R Us Ferris Wheel Inside. Of course we had to ride it. Cliff on the Ferris Wheel We have a T Rex!! A limousine and pizza compliments of the Plaza Hotel. From being such a fan of Home Alone 2 I had to get a picture of the Plaza Hotel Last picture of Madison Square Garden. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrad Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm waiting for Joe's climax also. Dammit! That's exactly where my mind was heading, but more along the lines of..

Joe Cool Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Ok finally a new update. Sorry for my slacking. Also sorry about some of my pictures, a bunch of them where coming out blurry. This update is the beginning of the Road To T.G.I. Friday's. The first day began with an amazing day at Six Flags Great Adventure. The day started out with ERT on Nitro, Dark Knight, and Green Lantern. We also got first rides on Kingda Ka. Then night time ERT on El Toro and all I have to say is El Toro is just amazing. If you have not rode El Toro get yourself out to Great Adventure and ride this beast. Big thanks to Robb and Elissa for setting up an amazing day and also to Six Flags. Best day at a Six Flags park I have ever had. Awesome staff and fast operations. Visual Scan!!!! Green Lantern First rides on Kingda Ka are always a good thing except if you ride in the back. I am in the group of Dragsters Better. Always a must when you are at Great Adventure. I like TURTLES!! Something used to be here The only Nitro picture I took Superman Thats US!!!! I guess I can't have a Great Adventure TR with out this picture Oh Hey El Toro My favorite Log Flume of the trip. You stay classy New Jersey. I would say that is a pretty good view. Sorry for the blurriness the only picture I have of El Toro and Kingda Ka together. Until Next Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love how steep El Toro looks (and feels, and is...). Wooden coasters do not generally make me nervous, but Toro is one of the main exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
