DannyBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 So before I start any of this I have to give major overdue thanks to the TPR folks I was able to meet up with at SFMM. To Elissa, Robb, Jahan, Guy and Joey...THANK YOU. You made a busy Saturday at Magic Mountain far more enjoyable than it should have been by helping me out. Although brief, it was great meeting all of you! So this trip happened in the first two weeks of May. Hope you enjoy the recap! And as per usual, they blowed up their wee castle real good that night. Space Mountain part 2. I don't know what the ride was like before the big rehab, but its purty sweet. That's my dad giving the big thumbs up. This is us after Little Miss Overcorrect almost broke the Autopia car This photo only included for looking-stoned purposes. That's my sister, Erin and niece, Emily with me. We lucked out and got to see the Haunted Mansion changes that had just been put in. Nearly crapped myself when I saw the new bride! Second order of business.....DOLE WHIP. Since it was closed during my first trip here, Space Mountain had to be done first. So then we ended up in this place. Should be familiar to everyone. Moving on..... And as we leave Vegas, I give you the Mirage volcano. More Vegas to come at the end... 2nd coaster of the trip. MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!!! Nuff said. We happened to be in town on May 1st. Kind of a surprise to see this when you're a vacationing Canadian. Ah. Here we go. My first ride of the trip was Speed. Good coaster, but what's up with this loop? I can't believe I missed this! I probably would have broken it though. But first it was to MGMs Tranq-an-animal attraction! I've been here twelve hours and haven't been on a ride yet......soon... The hotel we stayed in on the first Vegas stop was Paris. Is it a good idea to put a pool directly on top of your casino? Blue Man Group. Good stuff! If you want to know what "What the hell, Bill?" is all about, email Canadian Nicole at jndabird@hotmail.com Who wants to be price gouged for M&M's? Yes I am! If we ever lose Joey, Caesars has a store where we can get another one. And a cawk. Every trip report needs some camel toe right? I don't know? A buck fifty? Ted is just a little guy. So our one layover was in Chicago. I never knew Ted felt that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 continued... My overall impression of the coasters on the mountain. OK so X was a mixed bag for me. First 2/3rds were niiice. Last 3rd left me with spina bifida. Viper didn't seem as rough as I'd heard. Three days too early for TAHTSOO. No flyer yet for Dan Riddler's Revenge. Even Flashpass had a long line due to technical difficulties (I think). Fine stand-up though.....beats Mantis....badly. Scream was my first floorless, so I rode in the front on the first go 'round. Major good times there. Thank you B&M! I swear no one has ever taken this photo of Goliath. Let's call it "exclusive". GREAT coaster. Probably the strongest coaster I've ridden. So I made it to Six Flags Magic Mountain. Why do y'all have Dharma plates?DID YOU TAKE WALT!?!? Hi Mom! Hi beer! Hi House of Blues! Dougie like horsie. Mulholland Madness was Emily's first ride on a non-kiddie coaster. She liked it a lot. It begins... And here we are back on Disney ground. I remember California Screamin' being better before. Must be the changes they made after the "incident". The deadly koala assumes the striking position. It will now begin to levitate, spin, and whip your ass! I want one of these things. Do they count as rodents? The rare and majestic panda....taking a big luxurious dump. The San Diego Zoo was the next place we visited. Aren't rhino lips hot?

DannyBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 continued...one more time So that's all of my first photo TR. Although late, I hope you all enjoyed it. Nice view from up there. Slightly nervous, I headed up the Stratosphere. I'm the blue blur here on Insanity. There are two men in this photo. Can you find them? Throwin' dubs on Fremont for the G A P. Unbeknownst to us, homosensuals were having a parade that night. For those wondering what the Fremont Street Experience is...here you go. And welcome back to Las Vegas! I couldn't resist the giant chicken. I don't have a photo of it, but what's with Silver Bullet? Kind of a yawner there. Xcelerator! My first Intamin launch. A warm up for Kingda Ka. Next park was Knott's Berry Farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
