Photo TR: SFGAdv on an overcast day

[larrygatorObsessive Overlord of the TPR Park Index]

Since I was unable to try out the New Texas Giant with TPR this weekend I decided visit SFGAdv today. Yes, I'm jealous I couldn't make it down to Texas so I'll take my anger out on Elissa and try to make her jealous not being in Jersey. Making someone jealous about New Jersey is not an easy task.

Other than the whole jealousy thing I also wanted to get some pictures of new happenings at SFGAdv this year: Repainted Skyride cars, re-opened Tango, Polly-O Train wraps on Runaway Train, Green Lantern Construction, new Discoveries area within the Golden Kingdom.

Really, nice TR! I really enjoyed reading it !

I love the photos of El Toro in that setting...
That park is still on my 'must' list!

Great TR. It's nice to have a quiet park.

I'll be there next Friday. I really think the only ride I may ride other than Green Lantern is El Toro. For real. Perhaps a spin or two on Nitro if I feel like walking over there. Kingda Ka can bite me.

That would be quite an accomplishment. If Larry can pull this off, he could rule the world!

Although, I didn't take a picture, Aladabra Island's new occupants are alpacas (or llamas, I can't tell the difference). Not sure where the Giant Tortoises where sent.

Temple of the Tiger and their holding pens have been changed. The Temple of the Tiger arena now hosts a sea lion show and assorted animals roam in the tiger's old pens.

I sort of like the new area, it brings something to a major American park that is pretty rare, but more common in European parks. Here is an overview of the area.

Ok, a few things...

- I don't think I could ever really be jealous of anything in New Jersey!
- McDonalds for Breakfast does not make me jealous.
- McDonalds for lunch or dinner does! Especially cause the one we went to in Texas was terrible!
- Polly-o wraps are awesome! Although I would not like that product.
- I think we should make a cannoli wrapped El Toro Train.
- Riding Texas Giant made me want to ride El Toro again, they're VERY similar.

Thanks for thinking of me! Even if you were trying to be mean!

Oh, btw, so did we get a reason as to why they got rid of the whole tiger thing from SFGAd? Seems like they were going in a really nice direction then did a 180.

over 3000 posts and I still have no idea how to quote individual things in a post, lol. I agree with a Canoli wrapped train... that would make Intamin rides somehow even better... Elissa, you're brilliant. Also Larry, if it makes you feel better I am jealous as hell. My parents are not "theme park people" so I have been to very few non Californian parks... in fact, the only ones I can think of is Disney World Resort and Universal Resort and BGW. I'll get out there sometime though... El Torro has been calling my name for years!

I'll ask about this on Thursday if the opportunity for presents itself to ask off-topic questions.

John Fitzgerald said that he didn't want the tigers to turn on the trainers and give the park a bad rep.
