RoCo Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Looks like this trip is a complete mega-blast, even if some of it also looks like the TPR version of Fear Factor. Poor Lunchmeat looks like he's coming down with mange or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspaz1000 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Man, I think some of those coasters I would actually be afraid to get on. Looks like you guys are still having a blast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Unless you're in Singapore, that clearly looks like MRS. Pineapple who's happy, not Mr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 The "newer" section of the park. LOL On the left there's a Heimlich statue (from the Bug's Life) Disney is suing this place apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attack7 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I honestly hope you all make it home alive, but based on these pictures, I suspect this is not possible. I prematurely mourn the loss of TPR members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 OMG - these pictures are so awesome...and tragic... and SO much fun! I wish I was there with you guys, shared experiences like this are what make TPR trips memorable for a lifetime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I need a shirt that says "Under the influsnce of alcohol" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 ^Go to customink.com and they will make individual shirts that you customized yourself and will ship them to you for about $25 or so. It's awesome. I used it for my best friend last year and made him a funny Halo (video game) shirt. No, I'm not affiliated with them. Just sayin'. Still totally wish that I could have gone, but my allergies would probably go haywire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I shudder to think what you could catch from the water! Drink the water but don't eat the ice must not apply to China as it does to Mexico. Sister parks in the vein of Marriott's Gurnee and Santa Clara parks?

robbalvey Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I shudder to think what you could catch from the water! Drink the water but don't eat the ice must not apply to China as it does to Mexico. Oh, it does. We discourage people from getting ice in their drinks here. In places like our Marriott hotel restaurant or a legit chain restaurant it would be fine because they will have a water purification system, but when at parks, you only drink bottled sodas and you shouldn't get ice in your drinks. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure what's scarier, homemade SLCs or Larry's clothing choices. dt The shirt only cost $1, so I only slightly overpaid.

cfc Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I cannot believe that shuttle loop is still standing. The noises it made in 2008 were unbelievable. Still the scariest ride I've ever been on! dt It was exactly as advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The noises it made in 2008 were unbelievable. Still the scariest ride I've ever been on! dt Cost efficient solution to on-board audio. No loss of capacity either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) More China Trip Photos... Today was Happy Valley Beijing!!! Our day at Happy Valley Beijing starts out with ERT and filming in Crystal Wings! We're all lined up on the exit side getting ready for some ERT! We also had ERT on the 100%, totally legit, never-been-so-happy-in-my-life-to-see-a-REAL Vekoma SLC! Real Vekoma SLC? LOVE IT!!!! "We love REAL Vekomas!" This model has seen better days! Lol Vekoma mine train credit!!! Although, the ride seems to be called Jungle Racing... But whatever! Lol. The theming looks great! "We just paid 90 cents for a bottle of Coke... Suck it, Six Flags!!!" Has to be the best themed B&M flyer anywhere! And here is video proof! This ones name is "Quick snack" "Cats are friends, not food." NOTED!!! Queue jumping = "Uncivilized behaviour!" lol Trojan Horse Top Spin... Yup. The Happy Valley custodial crew! Chinese love body condoms! SKLOOOOOOOOSH!!!! "One of these things is not like the other..." Actual photo! NOT photoshopped!!!! It's so nice to be at a REAL park! I love vomiting statues! Virgin Forest??? Well, this is Happy Valley! In most Chinese bathrooms, toilet paper is NOT included in the stalls. You either have to bring your own, or some of them have rolls on the wall and you have to pre-determine the size of your dump and how much you'll need before you go in! Oh, and most of the toilets look like this. Yay! We are back at DisneySea! I'm not exactly sure what this is!!! The English translation of the midway games are awesome!!! In China, Piers is his own attraction! They have one of these spinning human wheel things... Didn't work *quite* the same as Southport. Scary!!! Chinese Knock-off Plants Vs Zombies Vans! Chinese knock-off converse!!! I'm not sure if this is slightly racist or not! Lol. Giant Ass Frisbee! OMG! Look at the line for the B&M flyer now! Good thing we had ERT!!! Wait... There's more! Wow! The B&M looks impressive, though! "Cats are friends, not food!" Just met Chinese coaster enthusiast "Lance" who is a big fan of TPR! Fun day at Happy Valley Beijing! After Happy Valley, we made a quick stop at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Park. Some of the signage has not really been kept up. Happy Magic Water Cube!!! Olympic venue credit!!! TPR playing Frogger with all the crazy Chinese drivers!!! BREAKING NEWS!!! McDonalds tastes like McDonalds in China!

DougMJr Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Great update. Yay for real Vekomas! Not sure what I'd be more excited about if I was there. My Crystal Wings credit or my first "squatting toilet" credit. Interesting and informative. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarnes84 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 For a moment there I thought they had a knock-off B&M Hyper only to realize it's "Extreme Rusher" by S&S, how was it? Looks fantastic but maybe not the most refined coaster on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_koppen Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Damn, I also hoped for a review of it. Hopefully Bullet coaster is open, when you get there. So you was at Victory Kingdom today, did you see any construction of the giant Intamin half pipe? Was there track on site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thri!!er Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Awesome themed "B&M-Flyer" - you named it, Robb... ^Robb, It could be argued - especially by you - that the "SKLOOOOOOOOSH!!!!-picture" includes the completely opposite from tons of "HOTNESS": (Tons of) FRESHNESS!! "Anyway", thanks a lot for your efforts/great pictures!!! : - ) Have all much fun...! Edited September 13, 2012 by Thri!!er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Sucks about Extreme Rusher. I guess you will be forced to go back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
