Photo TR: Robb, Elissa, and TPR in Florida!!!

Here's a couple more pics. More are on the way

Opening ceremony at Animal Kingdom. Elissa was at first disappointed at the lack of rodents, however Minnie was there.

To quote the Mythbusters: "Myth Confirmed!". We're just jealous of all you in California with your hallway!

This one's for you Joey!

This one's for you Robb! After the Movie Ride, some of us needed the Vekoma credit, and this is some of the queue/pre-show theming.

Fire!

The Great Movie Ride

For those of you in the state of California, what is wrong with this picture?

Next we hit the tower

Elissa and Tom. Note that the plate is NOT plain pasta (probably because it wasn't her plate)

What TPR PTR is complete without food. This particular restaurant at MGM was considered Elissa Friendly. We gave Tom the bill, but unfortunately they were unable to take his pounds

After Animal Kingdom, we hit MGM. This is the tram ride. According to Robb, it was "more forceful than Silver Bullet"

Here's the opposite of above

The TPR exclusive shot of Everest!

After Everest, we headed for Dinosaur. As you can see, it is Elissa Approved.

This was Robb's favorite part of the queue

The queue is "interactive" as demonstrated here

More Everest theming. My dad used to have a printer like that

Waiting for Everest. The line was very short, and there was no pre-show

Great photos! How the heck did you get three to a row in Splash Mountain? Sitting on the middle hump must have been uncomfortable!

Hey everyone. I had a really good time as always with these TPR meets. Right now I am trying to sort through my photos, but it may look like the majority of my photos from WDW is corrupted. Something's wrong with my memory card. I will work on trying to salvage them. Anyways the highlight certainly was the Splash Mountain ride which was extra good since they have totally referbed the ride. They even had the jumping water effects going which I have not seen in over a year or two. You also get much more soaked on the ride. I will post a normal PTR here soon, but I wanted to at least give you one photo.

Even Kevin on a Stick does not escape the clutches of one of Imhotep's minions.

...

While the picture is not so great, you can sort of see how crazy BTMR was that evening.

While not as crazy as Splash Mountain, Big Thunder certainly gets second place.

What a great post this has been!!!

God, what I would give to have Disneys CA Adventure to add a Star Flyer to their Theme Park!

Couldn't they fit it in "Theme Wise" to the Paradise Pier area? That would be a Great Edition to this park!

Also, I think it says a lot about how Great Disney is, that they actually made a welcome banner for Soren! That's Classic!

I hope that Soren gets to keep that, whenever he decides to head back home. (Assuming of course that he ever decides to leave!)

Woooow how much more fun can yall have??!! Look at all of these great & crazy group pictures! Priceless!!

---

It amazes me how you guys are here one week, and then there the other!! How much $$ do yall have!!

Awesome Photo TR!!!!!!

Robb, let me know when you guys go to Florida again!

Just for the record... Who here hasn't gone to Florida in the past week?

Also, before I forget. Sören got to ride Soarin' on Sunday. But, in his opinion, Test Track is better.

 

I will be posting Universal/IOA pics soon

For some reason, your 2nd set of pictures are coming up as little red X's. I hate to do this, but I have to delete this post, but please repost them again since your pictures are really great!!

^can't see them either.

Hey Will! Great pics. Not sure why the 2nd set of photos aren't coming up. Would you mind reposting them?

--Robb

Take two. The server was acting up on me when I was posting.

Thunder Mountain was probably one of the best rides of the night (just behind Splash Mountain)

This can only begin to describe some of the craziness aboard the monorail that night. Everyone else in the car was thinking WTF when we cheered after they announced "New at EPCOT: It's Soarin'!"

Robb playing with a £10 note. UK money is so much better than US money. The new $10 looks like someone spilt coffee on it.

Needless to say, he dropped out.

Robb doing the Hula lessons

There's obviously something going around!

Grrrrr! Gimme some candy!

Erik, Julie, and Kevin

Sören, Carlos, Elissa (you can just barely see her plain pasta) and Robb eating.

After eating, it's a night a Magic Kingdom. Note the full sized Disneyland castle in the window.

While the park was still busy, most of the rides had minimal wait times (except for when Robb held up the queue at Splash Mountain).

This shot ranks up along with Elissa's 'Stateline'

Ok, time to post some more pictures of the crazy ongoing TPR Florida trip. While most of them came out just fine, some of the pictures will look a little washed out, this is because my memory card got corrupted. I rather post them than not so enjoy!

Though he ended up taking his anger out on this bag, since the line took a while.

Derek was all excited to discover EE has a "sad and pathetic" line.

As well as her Dad.

We did ride EE several times, even Elissa's mom showed up to earn the credit.

So what did you think of the new ride gang?

Yeah, a new credit for Will.

Yeah, a new credit for a bunch of people.

We all basically walked to the coaster train from this point.

Ummm....Your looking the wrong way at your next credit Tom.

WDW does go all out in welcoming its guests.

How many years has it been since R&E visited Animal Kingdom?

It is Julie, "USRoadTripper" and she brought along her friend, Kevin on a Stick.

The Discovery Channel has a nice setup in front of Animal Kingdom.

Will, "WillMontu" just could not wait any longer to find a bathroom.

Haha NICE photos so far! I wish I could have come, but Im sick anyways so it wouldent have mattered. And they seriously allow 3 people per row on SM? Thats awsome! I gotta do that some time! Well have fun the rest of the time your in FL!

Colin"Also missed a Rob Zombie concert"C

Ok more pictures.

Though I think Robb was more interested in the food.

Ready for the Tough to be a Bug movie Carlos "Frade"?

Rob seemed really interested in the cockroaches.

Ready to find our Dino?

Mmmmmmm...Dinosaur!

Someone got really excited when they found out what our next ride will be.

Especially for Kevin on a Stick.

Yeah, a new ride for most of us. It was really exciting!

But some people were a lot more intelligent for passing on the ride.

Some people needed to earn the spinning mouse credit.

Sunday started out at IOA. Most of the group started with Hulk and then we headed to the Dragons.

Here's a shot of Erik going to the bathroom

MIB was a pretty good ride.

Tom buying some beer

Here's Robb shelling out $2.75 for a Coke. If this were Pepsi, on the other hand, I'd be worried.

Jurassic Park broke town for whatever reason. Maybe the boat couldn't handle Robb

Another shot of the Driving Machines. I'm not sure what is up with this section of track

Here's the "Intamin" type track on the Driving Machines. Elissa was excited that it would be a credit, but it might be a powered coaster

man, Im kicking myself for not seeing this, I was gonna go to one of the parks this past weekend but didn't make it.

^^ LOL...fair enough!

Here is some MGM pictures.

Lets head on out to get some dinner.

Our ship captain really got into her job.

Horray, its the Jungle Cruise!

Will Derek ever learn?

More importantly was for us to get some Dole Whip.

We split from the group for a short time to go to MK.

At least it is for Rock n Rollercoaster.

Is this the proper way to ride Tower of Terror?

Rob thinks Kevin on a Stick is ready to ride the best ride at WDW.

Non-German Tom offered to pay for lunch.

Ohana's and the TPR antics continue at the Maigc Kingdom.

But Splash Mountain certainly was the highlight of the trip.

This had to be the most fun I ever had on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

We then enojoyed a trip through Snow White's dark ride.

Yeah....Vekoma Roller Skater..First credit in Florida for Soren.

We made sure Soren's first credit was a good quality one....Barnstormer through Derek's hair.

No Robb! You can not have my dessert.

Yummmmm...dessert.

Elissa with the TPR foreigners.

This one is for you Wally, even though it was a Sam Adams.

We got to meet Soren for the first time at Ohana's

Here are some more shots

Here's Sören getting his first US credit

It appears that some people really miss Nickelodeon

Supposedly Disney has donkeys too

Universal Studios was definitely TPR Approved.

wow! that looks like tons of fun, especially the Splash Mountain ride. TPR definately has the craziest and funnest meets!

OK onto day 2 at IOA/USO.

It was another great time. It is always great to meet new people as well.

Even Soren was able to join us.

We went to a good Indian place of eating after all of the action of the day.

This thing was pretty crazy.

Over to Magical Midway where some crazy TPR members rode the Starflyer in high winds.

No caption needed.

What do you expect from an attraction that features a donkey.

Someone forgot to let poor Elissa down after her Skycoaster ride.

Yeah Elissa!

Somebody got picked for Fear Factor Live.

You waited how long to earn this credit?

Derek and Elissa have a knack for showing up in other people pictures, LOL!

I am curious how many Julie/Pickle pictures will end up on this thread.

You can have a least one normal picture in one of these, correct?

Kevin on a Stick even joined in for some food and drink.

We ended up eating at Margaritaville for lunch, Mythos is now off the TPR list until they fix thier menu.

Julie's Mom stopped by for lunch.

Tom is ready to earn his Spiderman credit. No Tom, it is not a coaster.

Though for some reason, they really did not get very wet.

Only two brave souls decided to ride Bluto's Barge ride.

Waiting for Jurassic Park for an extra 15 mins was not.

Dueling Dragons was a lot of fun!

i am only 13 and i dont know if you have to be older to be on this web site. i live in florida and have been saving my money for a year pass. witch pass is worth the money. and is expedition everest really that great im hoping it is not one of those coasters witch have spent a ton of money on telling how great it is and than you get there and it sucks !

Dewthedew,

Welcome to the site.

First you may want to use the search function to see if a similar question has already been asked. If it hasn't, I would suggest posting your question as a new thread in the "Ask Alvey" forum.

It probably isn't a good idea to "Threadjack" a TR to do this.
