Too funny, Hanno! Fantastic photos...except of me! I hope I don't look that terrified through all of the rides, but that particular mouse was a little on the interesting side. I still haven't quite gotten over photos of the water slide at SFNE as well. I never did get completely dry the rest of that day. But if I had to buy a hoodie, I'm glad it was at the surprisingly favorite park Lake Compounce. I'm happy to have that souvenir! (and I was finally cuddly warm again!!)

I really enjoyed Quassy, and I'm still jealous of Jahan's penguin! :evil: I'm looking forward to the rest of your Photo TR. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

^You had every right to look terrified on that mouse!

Great pictures so far, Hanno. Enjoying the report!

^There was a few of them. I know Jenn was as well.

Awesome pics again Hanno! I love how you take amazing photos of people not looking, unlike someone else that was just creepy.

Nope...I did not have a Boulder Dash hoodie...mine is green and just has Lake Compounce on it. After having ridden Boulder Dash, I would not mind having one of those either! :airtimer:

Hanno!!! I've currently been traveling, so thus unable to see your photos until today and let me just say--I LOVE THEM!

Especially the one of Kristen grabbing my nose. I adore it!




Thank you for sharing these!

Well.. it ain't over yet (and with that i mean these updates and the second day of tis trip..)

We had one more stop before heading back to the hotel..

Lake Compounce

Home of Boulderdash which ended up being one of those special days and ERT session.

I'm going to say something other will not like... but i prefer this ride (based on how it was during the ert sessions) to El Toro... but more on that when it's time for that update.

Let's focus on Lake Compounce and the time we spent there.

By the way.. you won't see many of my "standard" pictures for this park.. due to the fact that we arrived late... and well.. my camera needs a bit more light for that kind of pictures :-(

Don't worry Hanno, I liked Boulder Dash better than El Toro also.

While El Toro was a great ride, the airtime and speed of Boulder Dash that night was amazing and it is easily my #1 wood coaster now.

(Don't worry El Toro fanboys, the bull comes in at #2. ;) )

^Yeah, I enjoyed Boulderdash more than El Toro as well.

El Toro was awesome and was a blast but Boulderdash was all that and more.

It will be interesting to ride it again once they re-profile or brake the turnaround. My opinion might change after that happens...
