Well, it's about 5:00 am and the weather is terrible.
I'm just about to head off for my journey.
Keep an eye out for my Photo TR's when I return home in about 8 to 10 days.

Thanks again for all the tips and such, everyone!
You all we're a great help.
I'm out.

Hey... Andrew (Pufferfish),

I looked for you today when I rode Afterburn, but I didn't see you.
I rode it at about 12:30 pm, and then got on again at about 12:45 pm.
I rode in the very front the first time, and the very back the second.

Bummer. I really enjoyed my rides though!

[STR8FXXXINEDGEJar-Jar Binks smells like Donkey]

Alright, I'm back from my trip and finally unpacked.
I'm gonna do this TR in sections by park so it doesn't take me forever to do.

My Mom and I ended up visiting 9 different parks within 7 days. 2 of them were unexpected. I rode 48 new coasters, which now puts me at 260. Thanks again to Big Mike for the heads up on Del Grosso's. I would have totally missed it.
We visited parks in 6 different states. 5 of the states were new for me, so I have now been to 32 of the 50 states. Only 18 more to go!
We drove 2186.2 miles, and spent WAY too much money. It was well worth it though. We had a blast!

Here are the parks that we went to in the order that we visited them, which is the order that I will post the Photo TR's.
- Camden Park
- Carowinds
- Go-Carts Plus
- Busch Gardens Europe
- Kings Dominion
- Six Flags America
- Lakemont Park
- Del Grosso's
- Idlewild & Soak Zone

Up next, Camden Park... after I take a bathroom break, and grab something to eat.

Alright, here we go!

The first park of our trip was Camden Park.
Camden Park
Route 60 West
Huntington, WV 25704

They have 2 coasters, both of which adults can ride.
They also have quite a few flat rides. Some of them are VERY old school.
There are quite a few photos in this first TR cause Larry wanted a "Comprehensive Photo TR" for the park index. I did my best.

It was blazing hot, and super humid.
The lighting was terrible for picture taking.
I didn't think anything about the park was too special, besides the awesome sign, and the Big Dipper. There were absolutely no waits for anything!

I'll get to the photos so I don't bore you, as there are quite a few.
There will also be photos of random bridges and road shots mixed in, as I am also a bridge and structure enthusiast, and I just like to have photos of places that I have been and seen. After all, some of the best things about these park tours are the road trips in between.

There are a couple on ride photos in here as well, but don't fret, I got permission to take them.

Hope you enjoy!

How long did you stay at Camden? I was thinking about going there at some point just for the two credits and the Whip.

[STR8FXXXINEDGEJar-Jar Binks smells like Donkey]

I was there for maybe 2 1/2 hours max. That was taking my time and making sure to get photos of everything. I rode Little Dipper, the Whip, Sky Ride, the Haunted House, and the Big Dipper multiple times.
It was pretty much a stop for credits like you said you'd like to do.

[CapitalizeI wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

Camden Park is a fun looking little place. A nice kind of old and run down vibe, but still fun... That sign creeps me heck out...

[The BebesDonkeys are my way of life!]

Nice TR!

I loved your B&W redition of the old coaster trains on the old coaster with the kid peaking over. Really Good!

I also liked your bridges.
