Photo TR: Sam's TPR East Coast Trip Report

[Goliath513Final Destination Guy!]

Day 1, Part 2



After meeting up with the rest of the group at the Quality Hotel after Sesame Place, we did the long drive up to New York to go to Coney Island.





"Not Just Chicken" adds to the randomness of shops on the streets of Brooklyn!


Slavery not gone entirely.


Um that bum is just sleeping...


Here we are!


CREDIT 100!


Crap for Prawg Dawg's donation!


What's with these east coasterners and their obsession with big asses?


Didn't get around to doing Deno's wheel. Credits were more important!


Cedar Fair trash cans form before the modern era now reside along the Atlantic coastline.


Look at the whores (of credits) Jahan and Axel!


Adults on a children's ride? Never!


No bumping the hot chicks!


Boob credit!


Despite what others said about it being rough as hell, I enjoyed it. It's sure better than Mean Streak!


Dante's Inferno was quite good for a dark ride!


No we are not at SFGAdv yet.


Oohh all light up!




Next up, Six Flags New England!

It's cool that you enjoyed Cyclone. It looks like it could be fun. You know you "whored" that kiddie coaster too....

They have the exact same dark ride (Dante's Inferno) at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. I didn't ride it, but it looked kind of cool.

I'm looking forward to seeing how SFNE was for you!

For the record Big Bird came on to me first..

[lil jimmy nortonI know more about donkeys than women!]

Wow, you guys were so close to my house. I hope no one wondered off past the stadium, it gets a little rough over their.

Day 2, Part 1



Here we are at Six Flags New England!


Why does this look more like Cedar Fair in this picture than Six Flags? Oh right, the trash cans..


I'm not so sure about sacrificing my brain this early on in the trip.


The original Dark Knight!


With ERT!


Best part of the ride!


New favorite coaster?


Oohh!


New loose article policy. Seems a bit strict to me, but as long as it works.





Superman is TPR approved!


Airtime is always good!


Next up, we had ERT in Hurricane Harbor on Typhoon (Deluge style LIM slide) and another one which I forget the name of. Whatever one was the large family slide - it wasn't that one.


Not even 20 minutes into ERT we broke our first ride of the trip!


Too bad I couldn't have been on that raft..


Good times!


Shark Attack slides were short, but fast.


Yay for body speed slides!


The other Dark Knight was replaced by a football field.


Didn't this come over from Astroworld?


Group lunch time!


This too nice for Six Flags standards!


Q&A with the management was quite interesting!


Not quite Supreme Scream...





That's all for day 2. We also went to Quassy and Lake Compounce the same day!

[Speeddeamon128Thought "Laser Snake Horse" was real.]

Awesome report! Have you seen the videos from my report yet? Your in a few

[thrillgeekNo longer TPR's Rock Band expert!]

Great pics Sam! If you liked Cyclone than I'm thinking you would have thought phyclone at SFMM was ok as well. I've heard that SFNE is the highest standard SF park. It looks so much cleaner than others. I can't wait for more pics!

Day 2, Part 2


After our morning at SFNE, we headed over to Quassy for a credits stop featuring the Mad Mouse of DEATH! For those of you who don't know, this coaster sits on top of a grass field with almost no foundation. Seriously, I wonder how this thing passes safety inspections and standards.





This could also be known as High Die.


Nate and Bethany ready to face death: the ride!


Why do Nick and Jay look so happy about this?


Surprisigly, it withstood our group takeover.


Carousel takeover!


Dave, Robb, and Tyler doing their thing!


"Absolutely no pole dancing Drew!"


KidTums credit number 7!


Hanno was eaten by the Quassy shark...


The "Hanno takes a picture" bingo square credit!


This dino was violated on unimaginable levels!


Oh my god...This is a new low for TPR.


After the epic takeovers and statue violations, a few of us went over and took over the RCT style slide. I'm surprised nobody died on this while we were here!




We also took over the yellow slide of death (like the ones at ghetto fairs). I forgot to get a picture of it but you can see it briefly in my east coast trip video posted below. This was no ordinary slide. Before going down, the guy at the top greased the track with some sort of lube/grease for extra speed. For the last run of the day before getting back on the bus, the ride op greased up the middle lane, and gave Jay a nice strong kick start wich sent him flying down the hill at crazy speeds!




That's all for our 2 hour stop at Quassy. One of the most memorable credit stops of the trip.



And now for the music video!



YouTube Videolink

A music video about the Theme Park Review east coast trip in 2008. This video features the song Oceans (Deep Blue Sea Mix) by Cosmic Culture and lots of off-ride footage including the new for 2008 attractions Dominator and Fahrenheit!

[Dragon KhanWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

Not bad at all Sam ! Good job ! A very good sample of the great coasters we rode. I wish I had filmed more, I ended up shooting pics only. And actually, I shot the buddies much more than the rides themselves. Can't wait for more of your pics, as well as for Robb's DVD.

[R.C.I think Intamin should make a donkey!]

Great pictures Sam. It seems like you've been able to capture the whole experience pretty well so far (at least I think you have...).

Quassy seemed like another good little park on the trip. There seemed to be a lot to do. Didn't J's Amusements here in Northern California have a mad mouse like the one at Quassy? I'm pretty sure it did.
