funkybadger Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Melanie and Rich are still here in London and having a great time. However we miss the back of the bus crew! OLE, OLE OLE OLE!!! Even though we have said it several times, thanks again to Robb and Elissa so much for this experience. We will treasure it always and look forward to the next trip. You guys truly are the best. Thanks, Rich and Melanie
DerekRx Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Yeah, a few of us are still hanging on over in England, but its definitely a different type of mood now that the group trip is over. I miss the back of the bus crew, especially one person in particular
robbalvey Posted June 21, 2006 Author Posted June 21, 2006 Hey everyone! We're off to Finland in the morning and I should be able to get the Blackpool photos up soon! Looks like we'll have about 8 to 10 pages of photos! I'll post some POVs and other videos when I get home. --Robb

BudtheWeiser Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Glad you all had fun even if its now over im dreaming of my summer hols to Gt yarmouth now just to ride scenic railway Never mind Lou im sure theres a drunk Aussie out there somewhere for you
Corkscrewed Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Wow, the main trip is over already? Time flies. I can't wait to see Balder and Falcon (is that how they spell the coaster over?).
DerekRx Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 ^You'll be waiting a while for Falkon, we didn't go there on the add-on. But we did go to Thundercoaster, and it was great!
viking86 Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 What was the weather like when you went to Tusenfryd? I find Thundercoaster to be alright when its dry, but a ride in the backseat when its raining is just totally insane! I love how it throws the passengers around!
martinb Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Looks like you guys timed it perfectly to ride Stealth, suffered a major breakdown today, sounds very similar to what happend to KA earlier in the year. -Martyn
niiicolaaah Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Melanie and Rich are still here in London and having a great time. However we miss the back of the bus crew! OLE, OLE OLE OLE!!! Oh God, I had so much fun in the bus once we moved to the back. "Hey.. try this candy... it's really disgusting" Ok, so that didn't happen ON the bus, but it involved the cool kids.
Louise Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 What was the weather like when you went to Tusenfryd? I find Thundercoaster to be alright when its dry, but a ride in the backseat when its raining is just totally insane! I love how it throws the passengers around! We had fairly clear weather most of the day, but it started raining pretty heavily around an hour or so before our ERT started, and yes, it was INSANE in the back. There were tons of cameras around so I'm sure there's some pictures of us all being thrown around somewhere on people's computers and in Norwegian newspapers.
darklingscribe Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Finally I'm Back home. The Trip was awsome and I'd just like thank Robb and Elissa again for their excellent planning of it. I had a hell of a time packing into my suitcase all of the Balder goodies we got and I think everybody who didn't do the add on trip will commit suicide once they see the updates and videos. And yes it did rain in Norway so Thundercoaster was INSANE. Who knew Vekoma had it in them? Damn Lou beat me to it.
niiicolaaah Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Ugh. Stupid Thundercoaster. Stupid rain. Stupid Speed Monster. I'm a little disgruntled against that day, I didn't have very much fun, lol.
Louise Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 ^ My day was mixed. The rain made me peeved, and all the spitting lesbians scared me, I had to keep jumping out of the way to keep my shoes dry. But Thundercoaster was good in the rain, and watching the crazy dragon show without the English translation was pretty fun!
Louise Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 The spitting lesbians were hot, but... They spat! As did all the men! We have Norwegian members, right? Why did people spit so much?!
Eunuch Provocateur Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 I don't understand the whole butch thing... I can't wait for the rest of the updates! This is exciting!
larrygator Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 After returning from this trip, I have no idea how Robb and Elissa had time to put together and post any PTRs. You can't understand how much work they were putting in (and behind the work their hearts and souls were fully into this trip) to make it a perfect vacation for 53 others. Many days we were not getting to the hotel until very late and there was literally no time to sleep yet R&E still sorted through all their photos to be able to post PTRs when internet access was available. Even when the trip is now officially over they are scouting out parks for future TPR trips.
larrygator Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 I miss the back of the bus crew, especially one person in particular WOW! I didn't realize I made an impression!
martinb Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Lou, were you a part of the 'Official UK Trip', or did you just follow them around like Tom? -Martyn
niiicolaaah Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Yeah Lou, I noticed lots of spitting Norwegians also! And ones that didn't understand the meaning of "personal space"
Shockwave Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 That may be so, but some of the Norwiegan girls were pretty hot! As long as they're old enough, they can come spit on me any time!
Canobie Fan Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 All I have to say is.. CanobieFan gone wildz!11! http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/338/dscf01574ch.jpg (yay I stole JamminJs photo)
viking86 Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Yeah, whatever happened to them... No, the spitting lesbians were hot, but... They spat! As did all the men! We have Norwegian members, right? Why did people spit so much?! Unfortunately its not a very uncommon sight in Norway. I cant give you any answers to why it is like that, but it feels a bit embarrasing that it seems that the spitting is what made the biggest impression on you in Norway. It really sucks that you were a bit unlucky with your visit to Tusenfryd. I spent 2 days at Tusenfryd the last weekend in April and had a blast. Almost empty park, rain and all rides were running with the exception of short breakdowns on Thundercoaster and Speedmonster.
