The Official "TPR MidWest USA 2007" Trip Thread!

[Roy56Holy crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

^ THANKS! That Wes one was the first I did on the trip and spent the most time on.

I won't be able to post anything until Friday because of a lack of scanner, but it'll be up!

Holy crap...I was not even there and I can totally picture the slide story...(I am still laughing as I type this). I am sure the people on the actual raft thought they were going to die (thank god they did not). Glad y'all had a good time. Looking forward to next year's trip because I WILL BE THERE!!!!

[EmByThis B&M donkey is so smooth!]

Great report, that water slide story is classic. Love to have seen that .

Seems more and more of these water slide reports are appearing as they are great fun, could be a new section.

The waterslide story is outstanding, I only wish to see videos or pictures of the incident.

great update, I'm pumped for Avalanche!!!

[kraken613Ask me about being a pathological liar!!]

That waterslide story is so funny!

[KrakenKingFrutilicious!]

Ahh... those waterslides. The Pink one wasn't that bad, the Yellow one on the otherhand...

Jay (ElToroExtreme), Taylor (TwisterII) and Jacob (JCGoldCoast) went on the yellow one together.

The turns on that slide were very tight so we went beyond 90° on most of them.

One of the turns during the middle of the ride (And I heard a lot of people had the same problem) caused Jay to fly towards me... he was sitting directly across from me.

Thank god I moved my head out of the way, because if I didn't, I would have his teeth marks permanently scared on it.

Instead, his teeth landed on my left shoulder. It left two wounds. An interesting experience to say the least.

I believe he has a picture of it, I'll see if he can upload it here.

Hooray! The Dells still pwn all. And yes, that second turn on Avalanche is the 'OMG MY SPINE JUST GOT SHOVED OUT MY A$$' turn. But it's still fun.

Sorry I couldn't go. Stupid 5 hour football practices.

Robb's working on the SFGAm Update...it's coming...

[SharkTumsSite Admin]

Ok...since Robb is busy picking Lou up at the airport, allow me to bring you today's update!

Today we were at SFGAm! One of the nicest SF parks in the chain with a lot of great rides. We knew today would be a short and busy day so we planned ahead and arranged Gold Qbots for the group! We got in groups of four the night before along with some Qbot School and were ready to go. Let me just say, GOLD QBOTS ARE AWESOME!

We arrived at the park at 8:30am and got ready for ERT on Raging Bull, Viper, and Giant Drop. It was really great ERT with three trains on Bull, two on viper, and all sides of Giant Drop. You could just park yourself on Bull (Even the front and back seats!) and never get up!

After ERT we passed out the Gold Flashpasses, gave everyone a quick speech on what to hit (Deja, Demon, and the Mouse ASAP as they were not on Flashpass) and went out of Southwest Territory.

We saw numerous groups throughout the day praising the Qbot! Superman had at least a 2 hour line for the General Public, or 4 minutes for us! Most everyone got all the credits, or at least the credits they cared about. Then the rain hit! A big storm that would find us the next day at CP as well. We decided to leave at 4pm for our long drive to CP.

All in all, it was a great day at SFGAm and aside from the stupid hard trims on Bull everything was running great!

On to the pictures!
