Twister II's California Trip Review!

[Twister II]

^ But only for one ride, that was the VERY, when I say very, I mean VERY last train of the entire day. I could hear it once as a train flew by when I was standing in line for MaliBoomer. But a few minutes later when I got their, the music wan't onworking.

Ok, the Knotts photos probly won't make it tonight, my computer is having some issues. But they are all resized, and just need captions!

 

I was about 3/4 the way threw then I got a page that said TPR was having server problems and lost all of it. So most likly tomorrow around 4pm (MST)

 

Don't worry bout it! besides we all know how its going to go...

 

Welcome to knotts!

-

This is silver bullet!

-

Whoa check out those hot guys in line!

-

Here is the cobra roll...

-

Whoa, check out this picture of some guys ass i took when he wasn't looking!

-

This is perilous plunge

-

Whoa! check out these wet guys! you can see through their shirts! **drool**

 

Anyhoo great updates! I love seenig these about my home parks, and yes, i know, us socal dudes ARE pretty hott .

 

 

LMAO! THAT IS SO HILARIOUS.

[waterviper]

^LMAO!!! Sorry for laughin Taylor but dude thats so true!! Ya great TR so far! I will have to admit this has been a very amusing TR so far with everyones replies too!!

 

OK..... the single seat in the green train was a design to help passengers transfer from the wheel chair to the seat.

AHHHHHH!! OK!! I kinda figured there was a reason for this! I know I jumped to conclusions with my lil rant I had but I was being informed with the wrong reason! Well thank you for clearing that up now!!

Well, almost, except the fact that Perilous Plunge was closed.

 

ADMIN EDIT! Edited some rather in-appropriate comments, and OMG, can you PLEASE run your captions through a spell and grammar checker! I can't take it anymore! --Robb

Its pretty much hidden by trees and Jaguar!

This is Montezooma's Revenge

See, Mantis hill looks like a bird, Silver Bullet didn't quite get it right.

The ride Elissa refuses to go on, but the 4 year olds love!

Jaguar races in and out of trees, taking some close calls!

Montezooma's Revenge pulled some great G's, but was REALLY loud when it launched.

Kinda like the Hypersonic XLC shot on RCDB.

The cobra roll is actully put up right to the entrance, it greats you as you come in!

Silver Bullet used 18 cameras for ORP

The only "fun" part on the entire ride.

So dose the 0-G Roll.

To me, the cobra roll looks very.... drunken.

GhostRider, what can't your turns be banked!

zoom and my camera is like flip flops in snow.

See, once again, my camera is not for zooming! Dose anyone have any sudjestions?

The helix pulls an amazing 1.5 G's

Same with Xcelerator, slow dispatches, but at least both had really friendly crews!

This is Silver Bullet, for those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few years.

This is completely worth the money. If you havn't been on one, go on it. The thing is, there really isnt anything to hold on to!

But then again, it dose have extra butt padding, which Denver's dosn't!

If you've been to Germany, they have euro's. And on the euro's there are arches, Boomerang's arch is on the 5euro

Here is the problem with my camera, when it uses zoom, it really blurs the picture. I didn't know this til I got home.

My ORP looked like I had a 5inch flat top!

Guess what coaster?

So here is the deal. Only one train operation all day, and with the ops doing 3+ restraint checks, the dispaches were very slow, so not many 'action' shots.

Going threw the course, the train shakes pretty violently!

GhostRider....my thoughts. Airtime is amazing, but it kickes you around so bad. If its your first ride, its not worth more than a 4 train wait.

Jaguar was pretty rough.

We started with Xcelerator, the most amazing lauch ever.

[Twister II]

More.

 

Really and sadly, no hot guys at Knotts, only one, but the park was pretty much empty sence it was short bus day.

That is my trip! I have a lot more photos of Xcelerator and Silver Bullet and other stuff at Knotts, but I didnt want to dent TPR to bad, so I posted the "good ones" and now I leave you with this final photo, thanks for reading!

"Hello, Im Mr. Cobra Roll! Welcome to Knotts Berry Farm! The home of me gansta's and thugs!"

Ok, so I see the train just cresting the top of the lift, and was about to snap this picture. Then the camera ran outta batteries! I had to take the old batteries out of the camera, open my backpack, find batteries, open batteries, put batteries in camera

Uh oh, getting dark, camera about to fail!

The back is the best for airtime, the front is just a place to have "fun"

[zburns999]

Great photos, and great TR. This one has been fun to read.

[ParkTrips]

Montezooma's Revenge = Wicked Twister

Xcelerator = TTD

Silver Bullet = Raptor

Ghost Rider = Mean Streak

Timberline Twister = Blue Streak

Jaguar = Wood Stalk Express

Boomerang = Corkscrew

 

I'm sorry but half of those are borderline outlandish.

 

Nice report, it just reiterates the premise that I really need to get back out there (but not to come back and post a TR filled with "hot guys")

 

Oh, and the only wood I wouls stalk is Knoebels wood

Try getting a camera that has optical zoom, and not digital.

[Twister II]

^^ So are you saying that Schwarzkopf can't be better than Intimin? :shock:

[SonOfBeastSucks]

Hey Taylor,

 

Overall it was a great report. Good pictures, great captions, etc.

 

I do have just one question though. How do you keep the fact that you are gay away from your family with the high amount of random hot guy photos you took? I am sure you took a lot more than what was in the TR, so I was just curious.

 

Thank you for the final picture from KBF!

[Twister II]

^ EASY!

 

Never be around your family!

 

or

 

just turn off the flash and any noises your camera makes, and just kinda, pretend to throw something away, or get a drink, etc, you got to be creative!

 

And the second part was that to never let anyone see your camera, when family is around, keep it in your pocket/backpack.

 

When you get home, upload your pictures, right click on the picture, and in the General tab, click hidden, click ok. If the picture you can still see, and is grey, go to Options, Folder options, and click on View tab, click on "Do Not Show Hidden Files and Folders"

Now what was that you think I was saying?

[Hercules]

I will also back the Schwarzkopf is better than Intamin thing.

[Blazen_AZN]

awww no hott guys in the last TR

 

jk, but lord have mercy! you have "keeping your sexual orientation a secret" down to a bloody science!

 

Seems like too much work just for some pics of semi hott guys, i mean, in the end, what are those pictures even good for?

 

... :shock: .. please don't answer that, i may not want to know!

 

 

Anyhoo, It looks like i should head back to Knotts one of these days, so much has happend since i was last there that i feel like i have an obligation to go. Same with DLR.

ROFL! Why is it that both of those statements are 100% true!!! Anyways, great TR, seems like you had a great time! And you really do have "keeping your seual orientation a secret" down. You should win an award for that <--Note that this means it is a joke

[dougr]

Ah, Joe Cool's GR82SKATE. My daughter's (then 9) FAVORITE at Knott's. Like being in a really slow traffic accident (Ouch).

Looks like X-Scream at Stratosphere is a similar idea....1000 FEET UP.

I agree with Elissa, at least about X-Scream.

Be cool like Joe, man.

[Twister II]

But its not like its going to go flying off the edge!!

[Twister II]

awww no hott guys in the last TR

 

Nope, none. It was special ed day. Maybe all the hot surfers know about it and don't come? But at least no one was at the park, but other then that lines were pretty short.

[F1shy]

Alright... you could've laid off the "Spec Ed" jokes a bit... once is just enough.

 

And I must agree with the others when they say that you *cough have the "keeping your sexual orientation a secret" down... *cough

 

Anyway... good TR... just wish you could've enjoyed your trip more... or at least acted like it. I mean, come on now... you got to miss school for a week, and here you are bitching about "poor" parks and coasters. Reading your report almost convinced me that you would've rather gone to school instead of experiencing the greatest parks on the West Coast.

 

Did I mention you're amazing at keeping your sexual orientation on the down low? *cough

 

Man I must be sick or something... :?

[BiCoastal Kid]

^Yeah, I agree.

 

The parks he visited weren't anywhere near as bad as they came across to be in his posts. I think if he wasn't so sexually frusterated he could have not been so pessimistic. :?

[Twister II]

I still stick with my opinions!

 

SFMM, ok

Disneyland, boreing

Cali Adventrure, great

Knotts, kick ass

 

that is the short version if you don't feel like reading the reviews.

 

F1shy, you do a great job too, hehehe

[SonOfBeastSucks]

I am pretty sure on a few occasions that you have said SFEG is a "good" park. It seems a little odd that you would like a small park with a few coasters surrounded by urban sprawl better than a large park with several coasters in a better setting. Almost as if you only like SFEG because it is your homepark, and you have to stand up for it.

 

Not an insult, just a thought and opinion.

[Twister II]

Nah SFEG is just a peicer park. I think its just a fun park to go to with your friends and hang out. Elitch's is definitly not my favorite. But then again, its the park I've been to more than any other park, so it gives me time to see what the park has to offer, and not just run threw it and try and get everything done! (Which I have done!)

[waterviper]

^ Ya in about 3 hours or less the place is so small on an uncrowded day!! I mean SFEG doesnt even have a decent log ride or a decent dark ride! They can sure make room for a waterpark when they could of expanded the acual Park itself I'll admit the coasters and rides are OK but there isnt enough oh them!

 

Mike"SFEG feels like a carny to me"Black

[robbalvey]

Nah SFEG is just a peicer park.

WHAT? WTF is "peicer park"

 

I'm serious, man. I find it a challenge to read your posts. I've always said a few typos here and there are ok, because we all do it, but if you can't figure out how to use a spelling/grammar checker, well....um.....hmm....
