Guest Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Okay. If I ever see you posting about bad theming or ugly surroundings, I'll be sure to point it out, because last time I checked scenery was part of the entire experience, and a fairly large part as well. be my guest, if I think a coaster has good surrounding or bad i'll make a point of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Relax people. Robb and Elissa are on vacation too you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 You know...if you're going to be pissed at us because there are no updates, we'll just simply post them in the UK Tour Members Only forum. But if you're actually going to appreciate the hard work we put into doing the updates (I haven't been to bed before 3am yet this trip) we'll continue to post them for the public, too. There will be an update going up tonight from Oakwood. Please be patient. Also, can we please keep this thread to talking about the trip or asking questions about what we're doing etc. I really don't need to sign onto the board after a day thinking "Hey, let's see what everyone thinks of the updates" and instead seeing people bickering about stupid crap. --Robb "There will be lots of photos and videos tonight!!!"

blackcurrent Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 YEAH don't bite the hand that feeds.....The team are parking it up everyday and having orgies every night....... Give R&E a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USRoadTripper Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Robb, don't worry about pleasing a couple of kids who get demanding. Updates are nice, but I don't expect them every day while you are still *on* the vacation! Enjoy yourselves and have fun, and if that means waiting until you get home to post some updates, so be it. The fanboys will survive. I do find it a bit strange though that no one else that's currently on the trip is contributing much to this thread. I thought people would jump on now and then and post bits about their days. Guess they are too worn out to worry about the internet! -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterYTFC Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Just wondering if the rain has caught up with you guys yet? It has been heavy in the South and it is heading North so you may need to prepare for a few days of wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turlaach Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I would like to point out that I posted a 'lol' implying that I was joking, and perhaps even mocking the previous posters thankyou very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Here's my side of the story More coming... Is this an acceptable level of wetness? This is the wet/dry slide. There's nothing dry about them though He didn't get very wet. Let's ride the wet/dry slides then This is the water ride we got Dan onto. It doesn't get you very wet though Gimme some beer! You will have to see the videos for this It's a fun wild mouse type ride The cars on the Jungle Coaster are impressive Here's one for all those lift-hill enthusiasts out there Here's Nigel, our wonderful bus driver getting a chance at credit whoring! Cha-ching! Legoland has a castle, and it's bigger than Disneyland's of course This is the park entrance At Legoland we stop for some high quality American food Since we're in the coach, we get to use the super duper l337 bus lane With the push of a button, Nigel shuts Barry up Legoland!

pianojohn Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hey, have a great time! I am so jealous, but then again, you have to put up with Tommy and James (mostly Tommy!!) I went to Dollywood yesterday, and Timber Tower is indeed closed awaiting a one of a kind part from Germany. Good thing they don't have pictures of the ride EVERYWHERE...or wait, they do! Still had fun as evidenced by the attached pics! Next week: PKD! And a bonus one from last week on the Loch Ness Monster! My new fav way of taking on ride pics....of me!

WillMontu Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 More from Legoland This was a first pub credit for many people on this trip If your kid is sad and pathetic, you can push their stroller through this gate Thomas the Tank Engine is cool Here's an exclusive shot of people getting an exclusive shot Exclusive shot Is that you Barry? This is where Vekoma rides come from This is Sweden. Where is Balder? Robb told us to meet at the London Eye. We hope it was this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMontu Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Day 1: Chessington I'm suprised Robb didn't go for this coach company The management won't notice the difference Tony broke the theming! They're so cute! The capybara is the 'world's largest rodent' ...with lots of snakes (who like to eat rodents) The 'Creepy Caves' is a walk-through attraction He's still kind of sad and pathetic Cool shot of the Top Spin Tomb Blasters is a shooting dark ride like MIB, but instead of shooting aliens, riders shoot little coloured lights Another shot of my #50 I suspect that the guy at the control panel on the flume is a fan of a site. Keep up the good work This is Elissa's favorite part of Chessington (besides the World's Largest Rodents) What's up with this? Bubbleworks was a fun dark ride (Jeff Johnson counts it as a credit) Time for more quality American style food Yay! I finally hit my #50 credit. I was hoping it would be MegaB litz, but this will do. Here's a reverse lift hill shot of Dragon's Fury Oh yeah, we got ERT on Vampire Chessington is Elissa Approved So that's how he got in Barry emerged from the luggage compartment armed with his video camera The Vekoma Survival Kit. We've only ridden one Vekoma ride so far (Corkscrew), although Vampire runs Vekoma trains also. These were the goodie bags. I also got the other Eric Johnson credit Here's a shot of the breakfast buffet for all the ACErs out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Day 1: Coney Beach We can never have enough shots of Barry using the loo on the bus Mystery meat time! The death slide is actually six credits Coney Beach is a very well maintained park. Be sure to ask Robb about the park's safety certifications Look at the cute credit whores Many of us couldn't go on this after a certain group of people broke it. Yay! Death machine credit You cat get a really good feel for the place At the sight of credits, we pull over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Those burgers were the nastiest burgers I've ever had. Seriously they were like dog food pressed into patties and then grilled just enough so that they'd keep their shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
