WE ARE IN SPAIN!!!

Yes, that is right! The TPR Spain Trip 2007 has officially begun!

Part 1 - Arrival and Parque de Atracciones Madrid w/ Abismo Video (Scroll Down)
Part 2 - Isla Magica w/ SLC Video
Part 3 - Back to Parque de Atracciones Madrid!
Part 4 - Parque de Atracciones Zaragoza w/ Bouncy Bouncy Video!
Part 5 - PortAventura Photos!
Part 6 - More PortAventura Photos & Furius Baco Video!
Part 7 - Tibidabo Photos
Part 8 - Festilandia & Benidorm
Part 9 - Terra Mitica Photos and Magnus Colossus Video
Part 10 - Parque Warner Madrid w/ Superman Video


Mini-Europe Trip:
Part 1 - Klotten, Germany Photos
Part 2 - Tripsdrill, Germany - Photos & Coaster POV Video
Part 3 - Holiday Park, Germany Photos & Coaster Video
Part 4 - Toverland Update with Troy POV Video
Part 5 - Phantasialand Photos

After a bit of some trouble with our arrival flight (we were 6 hours delayed in Newark), we arrived in plenty of time to meet and greet everyone on the trip and head out to our "Day Zero" (un-official first day of the trip) destination "Parque de Atracciones Madrid." All I'm going to say about our day here is that we had nearly a Magic Springs "stuck upside down" moment. (you need to watch the video and you'll find out the story!)

Overall it was a really great day! Over half of the trip members arrived in time for this bonus day at the park (we'll be back there again on Sunday). All the coasters were running and the park was EMPTY!

I will spare you all the random details and just get right to the photos. We will be doing daily photo (and video if possible) "mini" updates, and will do a full blown HUGE MO-FO trip update when we get back.

So for now....enjoy! Taiko Really Happy[/youtube]

If you can survive Newark going out, you may not survive the coming in when you get back. The baggage claims are a nightmare there. Taiko LMAO!
Great TR so far...one broken X-Car...at least it wasn't upside down.
