Nrthwnd Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Wonderful, awesome look back at your past years of travel, Martin. What impressed me most, was the unexpected shots you chose, with neither a coaster or flat ride in sight, lol! I really enjoyed that. I think my biggest laugh was the shot with the blue wooden Trojan Horse. I just guffawed at it! Great review Martin, with some really nice shots taken of lots of things, really! Happy Holidays to you and Cheryl, Lauren and all your family and close friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milst1 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Great summary, Martin! Just wondering...how did you manage to get the Kiddie Coaster (Rye) and Pteranodon Flyers credits? I wasn't able to get either when I visited. Also, I'd love to go on a park trip with you guys! Hi GwaziBSRider1. Cheryl got Pteranodon Flyers the old-fashioned way, by creepily asking other guests if she could ride with their kid. You need a strong stomach to try this method, and I wouldn't recommend it for a single male. We were able to make arrangements with Playland at Rye to enter the park and ride Kiddie Coaster before park opening in exchange for financial consideration. Maybe we'll meet you at a TPR event or on a TPR trip someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that's how Cheryl got the Pteranodon Flyers credit, but I was hoping it would be a less creepy way. Hopefully, we'll meet again on another TPR tour!

The Great Zo Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Very clever way to sum up a year's worth of park visits. It's like traveling around the world in a series of snapshots. Pleasure to meet you at Coney Island, Martin! Best of luck for another awesome year of travels in 2015. Beware the Ghost Hole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamami Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 This is one photo for each park we visited between 2009 and 2014. 2009 starts here, 2010 starts on page 4, 2011 starts here on page 5, 2012 starts on page 6, 2013 starts on page 7, and 2014 starts here on page 10! Here is one photo from every park visited in 2009, though I didn't Paris shuttle transportation include a couple of adventure tree-cable course parks that we hit in Italy and Belgium. I did not do a photo for each visit, just one for each park. And my definition of "park" is pretty loose. These were originally posted in chronological order, but somehow they were rearranged into alphabetical order. Of course it's hard to sum up an entire park in one photo! Happy Holidays everyone! Here's to a great 2010! Your collections are rich. I haven't any ability to visit these park but i am appreciate to saw your picture .among them BillyBird Park Hemelrijk i like best. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milst1 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Here we go again! As our lives have gotten busier and busier, more of our available time has been spent travelling instead of online, so I haven't been on here much in the last year. Nevertheless, we'd love to share this year's trips with you, as always. In some ways, 2015 was one of the most adventurous years we've ever had, thanks to 3 far-flung Asia trips in the first half of the year. These were definitely off the beaten path, which had its benefits and its drawbacks. I don't know if I'm becoming a worse photographer, or if it's the remote parks in the less developed parts of the world, or if I'm just getting lazy, but I feel like my shots are not as good as usual, There are a couple of exceptions, but...meh. I hope they don't bore you to death. Anyway, here it is. We visited 83 amusement facilities (with a roller coaster) this year, and I threw a couple of water parks and some closed parks with locked gates into the mix, just for fun. Hope you enjoy!

cfc Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 ^Ah, Belmont. Drove down there after West Coast Bash to visit SeaWorld and ride the wooden coaster at Belmont . . . on the first day it had poured rain in god knows how long, thus causing Belmont to be closed for the day.

coasternate Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Wow, what an awesome, creative report! I wish I could have traveled as much as you - the farthest I traveled for coasters was down south for WCB (which was amazing). Great pictures, and I hope I can visit a lot of those parks eventually!
