Canobie Fan Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 So yeah... Some of you may have seen TPR updates where a photo of a Hippo had the text along the lines of "Hi James" (Like in the Disney Hong Kong update) Or things like Hippo vs. Penguin (and later on Yetiball) Well there is a reason for all this... Its because Robb and Elissa just can't admit that Hippo is the greatest... Well uh.. I guess you need the back story. So I worked at a summer camp back in 2000ish where a kid gave me this Hippo beanbag/water toy and as a joke we just took it around with us everywhere we went (Canobie Lake, Water Country, White Water Rafting... and more) well the Hippo thing kinda stuck with me.. So I just kept bringing him along with me places I went. In 2003 I made a website for my Hippo that 'predated' the "Hippo Photo" thing. The site is long gone now.. But may come back some day. It was "www.WhereIsHippo.com" and it was just kinda a blog about the places hippo had been. In 2005 I went out to Niagara Falls (for MFI and SFDL) and I took a photo of Hippo at the falls.. And that started the 'hippo photo' So from that point on I have gone around taking photos at different places with my hippo... Hippo has been to every Country I have been to... And every state I have been in but West VA... Here are Hippos maps Canada - http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedCanadianStates/countrymap?visited=ONQU USA - http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedStates/statemap?visited=ARCTDCDEFLGAILINKYMEMDMAMIMONHNJNYNCOHPARISCTNVTVAWI And Europe - http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedEurope/countrymap?visited=AUCZENGEHUNLNOSESWWA And now for the photos Quassy Hippos been to hell.. Eh... Hippo likes the only woodie in Maine. Couldnt forget to have a Canobie photo in here... Hippo says "DAMN Gams lot is full..." Hippo and the "Wolfman" at Clarks. Hippo is the Eye of the Storm. This makes hippos timber shiver [insert text here] Sadly... This is Hippos last photo with his pin... About 45secs after this photo... It was lost in a tragic accident. (I also got PWNT) BEST WOODIE EVER! Hippo says... "How many of you have this credit " Hippo has seen 2 of the 3 IJs! lolz....... Hippo says... "Its not THAT bad..." Hippo takes a ride on my 200th coaster. Hurricane at Adventureland. Guess the coaster! Hippo hoped G-Force would be as cool as it looked..... (It wasnt) Hipposis... Hippos #1 water ride... HYDRO! Coney Beac Hippos #1 ride.... Dragons Fury! Hippo at Méga Parc in the Galeries de la Capitale. Hippos (and mine) first English park!

Hippo at Parawhos Kingswhat? Hard Rock Park!!..... under construction Ghetto Playland (See Joe.. you arnt the only one whos been ) Mmm.. Comet! Hippo thinks "Hmm.. will anything ever replace gaslight village / Action Park?" (Lake George NY) Hippos love water.. Not so Magic Forest Family Kingdom < Hippo Kingdom Hippo doesnt have this credit..

apollo210 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 1) LOL! Penguins > Hippos! 2) I have Polar Coaster 3) That was so funny! The pictures were great and hippo is in every one (yet he seems photoshoped into everyone). Also, Hippo has been to every park I've been to (but thankfully, not every fair ). Hooray for PTRs of randomness! 4) The coaster is either the Hippo Coaster or Jackrabbit at Kennywood. 5) Am I the only person that noticed the fat kid picking his nose in the Canobie picture?

Canobie Fan Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 IS the guess a coaster Camden Park's Big Dipper? Nope Hippo > Penguin Yup Great job, you should update this thing when you go to parks. Don't stop it now! I have a lot more non-park photos I suddenly have the urge to play Hungry Hungry Hippoes. BEST GAME EVER! food AND hippos! First off - The Cyclone at the (now) torn down Southport park? That the pic of...? Then there's the WTF photo here - the 'caveman' on the scooter there... (can't repost pic here for some reason...) Nope. And Clarks is a roadside trap in NH. They have a bear show (They ride swings and a scooter... and eat ice cream.) but they also have this train ride where the Wolf Man ":mugs" the train and little kids with toy guns get to "shoot" him.. And he also toss's "TNT" at the train and such.. Its a cool little park type place. Been going for over 20 years 200 points for being in my home park Great Escape! 500 points for being at Hoffmans Playland! I used to love that place as a kid! Did you get on the mini roller coaster there? Great Escape is like.. My home-away from home park. I go every summe 2 or 3 times. And yes I rode Hoffmans coaster (and Jeepers and Magic Forests) I am honored Hippo was at my own Parawho's Kingswhat! Been inside PKD,PKI,and Carowinds.... And outside of PCW. 3) That was so funny! The pictures were great and hippo is in every one (yet he seems photoshoped into everyone). Also, Hippo has been to every park I've been to (but thankfully, not every fair ). Hooray for PTRs of randomness! 4) The coaster is either the Hippo Coaster or Jackrabbit at Kennywood. 5) Am I the only person that noticed the fat kid picking his nose in the Canobie picture? 3- NONE are photoshoped that would be LAME! 4 - Nope! 5 - The tubby one?
