Chroniq Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) 2011 was an amazing year for me. My "devilspawn" child was born (seriously a great moment, I reccommend everyone tries it at least once). Other memorable moments were Bizzaro Bash with all my TPR friends and an incredible water challenge as well Hershey Park with our newborn. What was your 2011 highlight? Edited to say: I also got the Manhattan Express credit. That's how you know it was a good year. ? Edited December 1, 2011 by Chroniq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 85 parks in one year was a HUGE accomplishment for me. I went places I never thought I would go like Oregon and Idaho, I went to kiddie parks without shame, and the #1 highlight for me: I can now go into Victoria Secrets with a female without feeling awkward.

YoshiFan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 2 highlights for me First was going to Universal Orlando and riding the coasters in the Studios park and going to Islands of Adventure for the 1st time. Dueling Dragons and the Hulk had been coasters I have wanted to try for years. Dueling Dragons lived up to the hype and the Hulk did too (except for it being a little rougher than I was expecting) Second was getting to try a stand up coaster. I know they don't have the greatest reputation among enthusiasts but when I heard Great Adventure was getting Chang, I was looking forward to finally getting the chance to ride a stand up coaster. I found it to be a great coaster and another nice coaster addition to Great Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The TPR NE Trip, that's easy. But I would say the tip top highlight was nighttime ERT on Boulder Dash living up to its insane reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I took my first cruise in January, which was just amazing. I then got to go to Universal and IOA for the first time for a couple days afterwards. It was pretty much the perfect way to kick off the year.

chickenbowl Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I had a great coaster year. Definitely my best, so far! -I had my biggest roller coaster trip, my personal North East US trip. -I went to 8 new theme parks in 6 different states, 44 new credits. -Got to ride 3 out of my 4 favorite roller coasters, all amazing. Bizarro #1, El Toro #2, and Boulder Dash #4 (I still love Millennium Force). -Broke 100 credits with Batman - Dark Knight, SFNE (should've let Bizarro been it, but I couldn't resist going to it first). And attending TPR events: -WCB 2011 (S:EFK *technical* opening day AND Goliath, Batman, and X2 ERT in a crazy down pour)! -Knott's Media Event for Windseeker (and meeting awesome new friends)! Next year I'm doing the official New Hotness TPR trip and am very stoked, hopefully each year gets increasingly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxegon Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Visiting the DPRK for a week was mine -- quite apart from the five obscure credits, it was a really fascinating experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Top 5 (in no particular order): -WCB 2011, especially the Knott's day -TPR North East Trip and everything that went along with it -Getting to ride some of the USA's best coasters (Bizarro, Boulder Dash, El Toro, Nitro, Voyage) -My other summer trip (St. Louis), including the amazing City Museum and a Segway tour, as well as a couple theme parks (Holiday World and SFStL) -Although not amusement park related, I really enjoyed my spring break ski trip to Utah and can't wait for this year's trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anac0nda Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Riding my first SkyLoop Ukko at Linnanmäki! In the back it was forceful and fast but in the front it was just pure insane! Also the views are nice while you are dangling uspide down above the capital of Finland, the city of Helsinki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Each year seems to be getting harder to top. Texas Giant Bash. Huge Europe roadtrip/Riding Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping, and other awesome coasters I felt like I'd never get to. Finally doing all the major Florida parks (for the first time), without the intention of Disney (and I hadn't done anything Disney). But then we last minute had what was essentially a personal tour of all four parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Going back to Disney World for the first time in 10 years, such a great trip. Still haven't finished getting the whole trip report together thougth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyfingers Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Riding Megaphobia in the dark at Oakwood 18 times in an hour, in heavy rain, with full glow gear on, and not being entirely sober! So much fun but I woke up the next day with plenty of bruises. Worth it though. Megaphobia + soaking wet track = insanely fast ride! A close second is the Loopathon Weekend at Alton Towers and Drayton Manor with the RCCGB. ERT on Nemesis in the dark is fantastic. And our little group's choice of accommodation was great. We found some log cabins a few miles from Alton where we had some EHTT -Exclusive Hot Tub Time! A great weekend with fellow coaster-crazy friends.
