A completely unsurprisingly EPIC TR Chad! Keep it up! I'm really enjoying comaparing the pictures of me at Anchor Bar (where I look like death) to Waldameer (which I think was the best park of the trip!)

I can't wait for more! YAY! *Claps* :b

Can't accept the judgement that the Zamperla MotoCoaster is better than the Vekoma variant.... :roll:

Woot woot! Day 3 continues with a brief stop off to whore out Martin's Fantasy Island. I kindof wish the rains hand't closed the park on our originally planned day as I would have liked to of had a chance to hit some of the flat rides. The trade off would be an amazing night in Canada at Dave and Busters that will include something I have neglected on in my main thread...TACOS!

Martin's was definitely an interesting looking park. They had alot of flats that I wanted to try, so hopefully next time we'll be able to stay longer :). Regardless the woodie was really great.

Here we go, the most anticipated review of the trip, the one, the only, TACO REVIEW!

We arrived at the TPR hotel slightly earlier than scheduled which was in no way an issue. Why? Well it's Dave and Buster's time! Sadly the stupid Canadians have a rule that kids under 19 can't be in the restaurant, at all, after 10pm so arriving early let the minor play a little longer.

Much to our surprise not only did we get some awesome free play cards but a taco buffet of mammoth proportions. Overall we are going to give the tacos a rating of 8/10. The meats were perfectly seasoned with the ground beef having a mixture of onions and hot peppers giving it that extra kick it sometimes needs. The sides were good and plentiful but nothing that stood out as OMFG amazing. The only thing that was a little confusing, and it must be a Canadian thing, was that the toppings were in the center of the buffet line so we got to play a friendly game of frogger, not a big deal really, it just added to the drunken fun!

So prepare for crappy cell phone pictures as I had no idea a taco review was in order!

P.S. Added a few candid group shots to our Waldameer day incase you want to check them out!

Now before everyone gets upset that they were not 10's, I have very strict guidelines for what a 10 taco is, what are those guidelines, I make them up as I go along :p

Did anyone get the large beers at Fantasy Island? I believe it was the stall right across from the Boppers Burger place. I think it was about $6.50 and they gave you about a liter of beer...it was like being at Oktoberfest, but the beer wasn't quite as good (but I'll still take Molson any day over Bud)....and you sorta got it in one of those paper Pepsi cups. Nevertheless, the best deal on beer that you're going to see in any amusement/theme park in the US!

Martins is a very reasonably priced way for a family to spend an afternoon...I'm glad the park seems to be doing well and that Silver Comet is still awesome! Good news to hear that you guys were still able to hit the park as well as do the carousel museum and the Anchor Bar.

^As a matter of fact ChrisCon walked out with a giant soda cup of beer. After ordering a 'large' soda for myself (20oz cup) and seeing his Pepsi cup the 'large'(32oz) beer came in, I was quite jealous!

Loved the Martin's Fantasy Island update. I know you are a fan of it, but I was just happy to make it out without being shanked and/or shot. How many theme parks in the USA allow you to smoke and drink (possibly do meth) anywhere in the park? Crazy...


Dave and Busters night. Amazing. Waiting for someone to post the video of the Aussie's epic (15 glasses? ) jager bomb cascade..


Edited to say: Regarding Fantasy Island--- Actually it was a 40 oz mountain dew cup that beer was served in. It cost about $1.50 and they were completely happy to let me bring it out of the park. Klassy (both me and the park)
