Matt Damon's TPR Mid-West Photo Trip Report!

Postby thecoasterkid » Thu Aug 02, 2007 8:04 pm

Well, today was the first official day of the Theme Park Review Mid-West trip! First off everyone on the trip seems great, and even in a small park like Coney Island it's possible to have an absolute blast.

There was a fair number of us who came into Cincinnati one night early and stayed at the Microtel Inn. It was decided ahead of time that we would go to Hooters for dinner since it would be a good American experience for all us internationals. To say the least it was one heck of an interesting night.

Anyways...onto the pictures.

Day Two! The internet continues to not agree with me...so I'll try this again!

Holiday World was amazing! Voyage absolutely blew me away, my #1 coaster steel or wood. At night it was absolutely incredible, you could hardly see the track and couldn't see some of the elements AT ALL! Raven was great too, and Legend was fairly decent, although way too intense on the laterals.

We had some awesome perks today too! An early morning walk back to Voyage via the woods of Raven, and also a photo tour of Voyage later on in the afternoon.

Anyways, it's 2am and I still have ANOTHER update to do...so that's all for now. Onto the pictures!

Day Three...Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom and Beech Bend!

Another amazing day with the TPR gang! This trip is beyond incredible. If you are even debating about doing a TPR group trip...just go, it's impossible not to have a blast.

SFKK was great! The park is not your "normal" Six Flags park. The staff was beyond friendly, operations were good, and they went above and beyond in every respect for our group! We had ERT in the morning on Chang, Twisted Twins, Greezed Lightning, T2, Deluge and the rest of the water park, even the kiddie coaster was open exclusively for TPR for awhile! I quite enjoyed Chang (credit #50!), found it to be really forceful, which is perfect! Deluge was incredible too! Deluge was great too, one of my favourite water slides, the LIMs are wicked. Kentucky Kingdom is definitely worth a visit!

Beech Bend is a pretty random park. Very old school, seems like a group of rides set up in a field. The looping star was pretty crazy, better than expected. The Wild Mouse was rough and lacked spinning, and the kiddie coaster was, well, a kiddie coaster. Kentucky Rumbler was awesome! It now sits in my #2 spot for woodies behind Voyage. The nighttime ERT was wicked! Nothing like getting on 10 rides in an hour!

Picture time...
