robbalvey Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hey everyone! For many people in the world, October marks the end of the theme park "Season" and to help everyone from going stir crazy during those cold winter months we will try to put together as many different activities as possible. Kind of like a mental home for coaster theme park nuts! For starters, we will be having our 3rd annual Coaster Video Contest which will probably start a bit earlier this year since we want it to finish before we start the UK trip. So that means...start editing NOW!!! We also want to start up some RCT and NL activities and I really like the idea of putting together an "official" Theme Park Review scenario or track pack for both games. Once I get caught up on all the DVD orders, that will go into production. I also want to encourage people to post more Photo TR's over the winter, even if it's from past years trips. For example, I have heard recently of people having photos from 10+ years ago, that personally I would LOVE to see scanned and posted. Kind of like a "Retro Photo TR!" Of course, we will still continue with doing the PhotoChop/Avatar contests, our own Photo TR's and Video segments, chat room and game nights, but let me ask all of you.... What ideas do you have? --Robb "We need to do another game night very soon!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Sounds like a plan Robb. I really like the idea about the No Limits and RCT track pack. I also think it would be cool to have photo contests or something. I don't think they would necessarily have to have prizes, but merely the pleasure of knowing you took a kick ass picture. I don't want to try and get you and Elissa to fork out more prizes! . But we could just do photo contests with themes, like out and back woodie, decrepit piece of sh..., hyper, humorous (though I think the Tweetie camel toe pic takes the cake), and so on. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 I don't mind at all doing contests as long as people know it's not really for competition, but for fun! I'm sure we can round up some more pocket fluff as prizes too! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benvenuto Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 As, i'm eating some Razzles Candy, this thread appeared to me. I think what you said are great ideas Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Im loving the retro idea!! I have some WDW pics from 91' but I think they are mostly of me...Lol! (First ever holiday abroad!) But I will post some of them up if they are any good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooey Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I have my photos from my trip to Alton Towers in 1995, tho for the life of me i can't remember much about the 2 days i was there. I dont mind posting them if anyone is interested though. Little trip down Alton memory lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonY2K Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 why not just plan a trip to FL, where there is no off-season? ~Allison "obvious answer" Y2K~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 How about a Roller Coaster Photo Contest? Similar to the Video Contest, but let's give our Photographers a chance to shine this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 ^I like that idea, I have tons of photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooey Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I have just found my photos..they don't look so bad considering they are 10 years old, and was young and rubbish at taking photos. Ah, the ThunderLooper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattuchili Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Here are so many great ideas. I would like a photo competition, because I have a lot of pictures. A RCT competition sounds good to me, too! Remember, I have won two competitions! However, I am looking for a weekend trip to Europa Park in november or december. They have a winter season there with real snow! The only bad thing is, that Silver Star is closed in winter! I think Silver Star riding at 25F would be awesome! :shock: I am sure after that you would look like an ice cube! Elissa, I think we stay at hotel Colosseo and not at hotel Castillo, because it cost only € 5.- more! --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm really liking more and more the thought of doing "Retro Photo TRs" I'd love to see some photos of parks from 1990 to 1995 or before! Like Cedar Point BEFORE Mantis or Raptor. Heck, I've even got some old SFMM photos with Shock Wave! I should even dig up the rest of my 'backstage" Disneyland photos. Heck, I've even got photos from "State Fair '87!" So who's going to be the first one to do a "Retro Photo TR?" --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I thought it'd be cool to have a "Guess that Coaster" game and distort a random picture and not be able to put up another until someone guesses the first one. All the ideas sound great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Sounds really good Robb, I just got the DVD so I will definitely sit down and take notes. Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I love the Retro Photo TR! I have no ideas. Not much of a thinker. -Gaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I could dig up the family photos of WDW from around 1977 and 1978. And plenty for early 80's Epcot WDW, etc. Now I just need to phone my folks for em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chauncey Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 How about a Roller Coaster Photo Contest? Similar to the Video Contest, but let's give our Photographers a chance to shine this time! I'm very interested in doing that! Personally, I can't afford a videocamera, especially considering all the parks I plan on going to next year! I need to save up! So, photos are all I have . Anyways. Sounds great . I'm also interested in the RCT contests, although, most certainly, I'll never finish anything! I never do . Goodnes. What's with all these frowny faces? I'm depressing .
