[cfcI've gone pantless!]

^About two miles from the park, I think.

I have a special treat for those of you who were unable to attend NTAG Bash, or for those who just want to relive the awesomeness of TPR Trivia and TPR Quest. I have a multi part, never seen before video of what exactly goes on during TPR Trivia and TPR Quest. Quest was a miniature version of the real deal, but was still quite fun. I for one, won some NTAG crap and others won OTAG crap. Enjoy!

^ TPR Events are the BEST!

[sfot11girlI Love Donkeys!]

Ah. That makes sense, so I'm not at least going totally insane. The fog / mist is going to be so nice in another few weeks...

I agree! In Texas, the mist will be greatly appreciated come July. But Saturday, wayyyy too cold. Awesome, but cold. I got soaked up front.

I can't believe you guys broke the Shockwave. This coaster is like one of my favourites :~~

[coastercrutchfieldFresh and new. But still a GIANT IDIOT.]

Here is my one photo TR...

I should really take more pictures at parks... But thanks for having such a great event guys!

I had an amazing time at Texas Giant Bash! One interesting thing I noticed: on the train ride around the park, the recording says that Runaway Mine Train is the world's first tubular steel-tracked roller coaster. The SFOT Web site claims the same thing. Now, I may be wrong, but there's a little park in California with a ride called Matterhorn Bobsleds, and its track looks like tubular steel to me. And I do believe that ride is a few years older than the Mine Train.

But anyway, I loved Six Flags Over Texas and its selection of rides. It kills me I can't go hop on NTAG or Shockwave right now. But at least there are some exciting things coming up this summer to keep me busy here in SoCal.

Thanks again to TPR for organizing another great event! I took a few photos of Texas Giant riders during the morning ERT, plus a bunch more over the following two hours. You can check out my photos on Facebook or JoeRollerfan.com. Enjoy!

Thanks Joe! I guess I should ask the question - will any of these photos be added to www.joyrides.com or is that site more of the old school and www.joerollerfan.com is the new hotness?
