Token Yankee Guy Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 ***Special Thanks to Monica for sharing her photos for this trip report*** Updates: 3/14: DL & DCA - Page 5 3/13: Hollywood - Bottom of Page 4 3/12: SFMM & TPR Party - Page 4 3/11: Hotel Storm Pics - Page 3 3/10: Disneyland - Page 2 3/9 Part II: Scroll down Page 1 So I am finally in California, after waiting so many years. both my flights were really good, the one from Dulles to Los Angeles felt like an eterinity, but I'm finally here. After having fun getting out of LAX, I got a shuttle to KBF where I'm staying for the first few nights with Monica, and after I put my stuff in the room, we decided to head over to KBF for a few hours so I can get de-virginized for roller coasters in california. Xcelerator was going to be my first coaster in california, but while waiting to launch, the ride decided to break down, so I went on Silver Bullet which was really good in my opinion. Now for some photos Here I am standing in front of it. That's all the photos I have so far, when Monica get's back I'll post part a second part Montezooma's Revenge Here I am flailing my arms like a pansy while running through the queue to Xcelerator Xcelerator!! Either I got off Silver Bullet happy...or being up since 4am (EST) has taken a toll on me More silver bullet Silver Bullet upon entering the park Monica and I! Here I am infront of Knott's Berry Farm Ghostrider This was taken on my second plane, I don't know where I was in the US Somewhere above Connecticut as you can see, it was still dark and in the mid 40's close to 5am and I got the jeep packed ready to head to Bradley International.

arrowfanman Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 My Day starts off by waking up at 4:00am Wouldn't you have to wake up before 4:00am if you were to take a picture of that time on the clock? Or did you just reset it. ....Cheater. Anyway, awesome pics, and welcome to California! Robb complains about it a lot, but if you just passing through for a few days, you'll be allright! BTW...I just confirmed that I will indeed be at SFMM on Sunday, so perhaps I'll see you. I work at Riddler's, starting at 12:00. ...see you there, Jahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Johnson Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Cool photo trip so far. When did Knott's change GhostRider to Ghostrunner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezus Juice Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 When did Knott's change GhostRider to Ghostrunner? They did that for Craig. I guess they thought changing the name would get rid of the roughness. We shall see... They just went over to Pat & Oscars, which means that they now suck! I was stuck with some MAry's Pizza Shack here at home. That's what you get Monica for leaving a pizza coupon behind! Ha ha!! -Donizzly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Yankee Guy Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 3/10: Disneyland Hey Guys, Monica, Wally, and I just got back from hitting up Disneyland. Monica and I had like a quick decision last night while talking to wally that we should hit up Disneyland with him instead of doing Knott's for three consecutive days. So we had a great time at the park, crowds were low, none of the rides have over an hour wait and such, but I enjoyed myself. Except when I bumped my head when getting into the tram when heading to the park, THEN! I bumped my head again when leaving. $5 dollars to anyone who bets that I will do the same exact thing on Tuesday. But anyway, I can't wait to get back on Tuesday when we hit up both DL and DCA. And to top it off, I won a Ghostrider Road Wheel Spindle in the raffle during the dinner. Towards the end of our day, we got a picture with Mickey I'm currently pulling two things in this picture....the sword... and a muscle. and monica too me doing it Grrr, bone We're on a boat!! This is for you Sean. Same with monica Supposedly this is how I look when I'm older...as to what age, I do not know That's how mass-holes drive. Wally and I waiting for the car ride thingy my 60th coaster was Matthorn (right side) Monica, Wally, and I infront of the castle arrghhhh, I am going to crush thee castle... Me, Monica, and Wally on Splash Mountain Representin' New England...(The third flag from the left is the New England flag) Yay for space mountain being a lot of fun Yeah, I don't care that I'm holding up the line for Space Mountain. Heading over to tomorrow land for our first ride of the day, Space Mountain Here I am joygasiming over it This was my breakfast for this morning, a heated cinnamon roll, and a white mocha latte me infront of the train station Yay for park tickets!

Token Yankee Guy Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Mini Update for March 11th So, today has been a relaxation day for Monica and I. I went into the park for an hour or so to ride some rides with shaun, and then I simply went back to the hotel room, and then monica and I walked up to Burger King. During our walk to burger king, I was wearing my white TPR shirt and as you know, both my shirts were personalized, and this guy from a Nevada car drove by and shouted Yankee at me. I don't know who it was, so if it was someone on the boards that shouted to me and sees this message, let me know, lol. Anyway, the photos I'm here to show are pictures of a small storm system we just got hit with. I was on the phone with my mom and the dark clouds were rolling in, and the winds started picking up, next thing we know, it's hailing. So monica and I ran downstairs and took pictures of each other in the hail. Then we got some pictures from our hotel room, so here ya go. Hey, a rainbow formed right above Soak City, Knott's Water Park Just as the storm stopped the sun is finally breaking through the clouds Another Shot Simple shots from the lobby entrance Monica in the hail I'm on the phone with my sister in the hail The winds picking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Nice rainbow shot. I would have thought your cell phone would be destroyed by the hail. What compelled you to get whacked on the head with ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
