Jeff! I love my buttons on Robb's site! :lmao:

It's great to see the UK trip from an old man's point of view, as compared to all the 20-some folks that are high off life. Keep up the awesome captions!

Duh, that was me and Chris being part of the "Coathter Paraaaaade!" :lol: You have waaaay too many pictures of us all having a little too much fun on a lot of the kiddie rides, that Safari thing was just... Wow.

Gotta love the retarded look on my face in that Alpine Slide pic, I'm sure there was a much more flattering one than that taken too. :lol:

I didn't realize Dragon's Fury was ALL OVER THE PLACE! That thing has got a huge footprint.

Awesome photos, but they just make me regret not going on the trip. I'll see some of you in Japan! ;)

OK. So we left Oakwood to make the trek Alton Towers. We actually made it there quite sooner than expected. It still was late afternoon/evening. Without an internet connection for pretty much everyone, the hangout was the bar at our hotel, Splash Landings. Nice place, complete with an indoor waterpark.

The late nights at the bar is where a lot of friendships were made. Even Robb showed up for the late night festivities (drinking diet coke) and many of us stayed up till 3am and later.

Anywho, enjoy the pics.


Fanboy alert: Pics of Elissa, Lou and "that Hoffman girl"

THANKYOU for showing my 100th Coaster credit, Jeff! Very much appreciated. I was wondering if I'd ever see a pic of myself on that ruddy clown coaster, after all the talking, and pleading and general coaxing I/we had to convince the (obviously) bored ride op to let me ride and revel in my triple digits, heh heh!

:wink: Great TR so far. Looking forward to more of whatcha got there, lol.
