Jakizle's HUGE East Coast PTR [Day 3 Up NOW!]

I've finally found time to get all of my photos sorted, so I'm now ready to post my trip report from the amazing trip many of us finished about 2 weeks ago. I'll go ahead and warn you though, my pictures are pretty coaster and ride heavy, as I was either having too much fun to take pictures or was part of the fun!

Anyways, CC members Hyyyper, man, nightmare500, and I were part of the 2008 TPR EC trip, and it was just a blast. Without wasting any more time, im just going to get on to the photos.

Park #1, Sesame Place!


Here we arrive at Sesame Place, which is north of Philadelphia.


The park entrance. They had a similar entry system as all of the Busch parks.


Before we even stepped into the park I started snapping some pictures of the parks only coaster, Vapor Trail!


The parks midway upon crossing through the entrance.


These character sculptures were located all through out the park.


Of course the first thing we did was head straight to Vapor Trail!


I bet you've never seen this many "adults" lining up for a kiddie coaster.


Our group nearly quadrupled the wait, which was still pretty short however.


I liked how the queue was right under the lift hill.


It was also home to a Grover sculpture...that was leaving a vapor trail?


The double helix was easily the fastest and best part of the ride.


For a kiddie coaster, I liked it.


The line moved quickly thanks to 2 train operation!


After riding we checked out some of the parks other offerings.


We decided to ride Blast Off, the mini drop tower.


While the line was long, the ride cycle was too, and it was fun.


On the way back to the front of the park we ran into Oscar doing his thing, whatever that may be.


We rode Vapor Trail again, this time with pretty much no wait!


Before leaving we stopped by the welcome center, where some got souveniers and some got drinks for the ride to NY


Adios Sesame Place! Next up is Coney Island, which should go up tonight.

[Oscar]

Nice good pictures. Thanks! So no pictures of your crowd?

Hey, it's only the first update . Give it some time...17 more to go lol.

I seem to remember Topdrag being on the trip to Jake. Nice update so far. Hopefully you can make your updates more often then Robb has been.

Yeah Jake, you forgot about me buddy! I feel hurt now.

haha

Haha, my bad Alan, I was trying to think of the usernames of people that went, but I'm not used to calling you Topdrag, as I've always just called yah by your real name.

Coney Island should be up tomorrow evening, and will be more of a full update (as we were there longer than Sesame).

Finally time for an update! I've just been soo busy with school recently.

Day 2 was Coney Island...it was a rockin' place and I'm super glad we got to go now that part of it is closed.

On to the pics...just be sure to watch the MOVIES AT THE END.


So after picking everyone else up we finally departed Philly! See yah in 12 days...


2.5 hours later, we were in New York City!


After driving through a couple hoods and fighting of some gangsters we ended up right here!


This is what we mainly came her for...and did she deliver...top 10 ride for me easily.


This is the exit...either where the pain stops or you're sad it's over.


So after 1 ride we crossed the street to check out the actual park. Had to take this shot though!


And here we are!


The Break Dance looked pretty fly but I'm not so big on spinny rides of death.


First we got our credit on the TWO TRAIN OPERATION WACKY WORM. Taken from the other train, watching da bitch yell at riders for some reason.


The ride itself was pretty lame...the best part was definitely the turn table!


This is WANK (with Alan behind him). Beware, if you don't agree about the rubbishness of a coaster with Wank, you might be killed.


Here's an overview of all the shizz at Astroland.


We walked nextdoor to Deno's, which we had armbands for. It was a ghost town but had 4 badass rides!


Here is the kiddie coaster with airtime in the back...yeah!


Lift hill shot for you biatches.


Of course we had to ride the Wonder Wheel!


We chose the swinging cars of destruction of course! Featuring hyyyper's back...


Layout of the coolio kiddie coaster. Thanks Miller!


Two kiddie coasters next to each other that want to shoot each other up...I bet the one on the right would win.


So after the wheel we did the Spring Shot! This ARM drop tower is so freaking intense! VIDEO BELOW!!


We chose to ride facing the Cyclone! Bitchin...


Last but not least was the awesome dark ride! It was my favorite on the trip because it actually scared me! See video...


Good bye Deno's Wonder Wheel...there's more to do at Astroland.


Shot of the beach right next to the parks! It was pretty nice.


Time to ride this beast again...this time in the very back seat. It was very painful but OMG the airtime was INSANE!


Prepare for many Cyclone shots! It's just so awesome.


First drop of amazingness


Bitches in the back are about to get owned!


Just another amazing airtime producing drop...


Insert insane laterals here


Final turn of more awesome lats...thank god for the super coushy seats!

So with our two rides done we went back to Astroland for some flats.


This dark ride was super WTF!!! It was really random, just check the video yo!


The topspin looked crazy so we just had to try it! However we got e-stopped like 3 times and never got to ride the actual cycle.


We had like 10 minutes to spare so we ran over to the original Nathans and got some dinner!


Back onto the bus! Aka time for some sleep!


Thanks for reading, videos will be in the post below this!!

Here are the videos as promised! Beware that there is some explit language, so watch at your own risk!











Click on the videos to go to youtube and choose to watch in High Quality! It's worth it.

Wait, what happened to the freak show? it was there a month ago or so when i went.

slash Cyclone is God tier.

Freak show is still there, but not many people went to it. I was able to go in thanks to one of the people on the trip and we saw the crab guy juggle, electric girl, and the queen of keroseen. Nice report hyyyper I was hopeing that nightmare cyclone was just a trip dream though xD

Max is stoned 90% of the time...give the kid a break.

Time for another update! With Christmas break upon us updates will be much more frequent, as long as people remind me.

DAY 2 consisted of Six Flags New England, Quassy, and Lake Compounce (heaven).

Photos will do the talking:


We arrive at SFNE!


Robb gets everything settled as we get our tickets and wristbands


ERT started on what ever the hell this Batman is named after, and it was pretty neat.


Next was Mind Eraser...a pretty smooth SLC which Nightmare loved.


I took a picture while the idiot rode again.


Finally we got our full hour of ERT on Superman. We got the front row of the first train out...what it do.



This ride rocks...insert airtime here.


Poor Dark Knight, you were supposed to go here. This muddy football field is better anyways, plus SROS is right next to it.


After ERT and 12 SROS rides, we started the credit run...Thunderbolt was good for what its worth.


Another bad ass Miller coaster! YES! The op was cool too, she could have been my grandmother.


Max gets wet from the Starburst pose while Nightmare laughs at how high he is.


Strange little creatures these thing are, so Max HAD to pound them. It was wiggly.


SURE THING!


This ride had trains long enough to carry the entire group...I bet.


If you stop drooling to see this caption, congratulations.


In other news, this guy decided to ride the drop tower in a new way. No restraint ma!


SLC loved had to have another go, so off he went. I took another picture.


This would have been a better picture but I was distracted by the screams of pain.


While we were there we were going to ride this again, but the line was tooo long.


Awesome themeing on this ride, but we skipped it.


After lunch this was open so we went to ride it.


Basically all this thing did was make circles while it crushed your balls.


Oh yeah, it rained the entire time we were on it. That made for a more interesting ride and walk to the bus!

Quassy, Day 2 Part 2 next!

Time for Quassy, which was smaller than...well, oh nevermind.


1 hour later we arrived at Quassy...yay?


Everything seemed to be going fine with riding the Mad Mouse, until...


STORM!!!! OMGZ!! RUN AND CLOSE THE RIDE!!


HOW DANGEROUS! Awww I think I felt a drop!


During the weather delay some decided to try to win a plush penguin.


While others rode the mini carousel.


First of like 4 Yo-Yo sighting of the trip...sadly I never rode one.


The Little Dipper was open so I got me a credit.


Mad Mouse finally reopened and Robb let us stay a little longer so we could all ride.


It was a fun ride, nothing special though.



Back to the bus, heaven is next!

POV VIDEO!!!

Lake Compounce was basically like heaven because Boulderdash was there, and its the best coaster ever. DEAL WITH IT.


Just like 30 mins later we arrive at Lake Compounce's secret parking lot! Seriously, we drove by the park twice before finding out we were driving over the tunnel that gets you from its parking lot to the park!


Obviously we went here first...rumors are this ride kicks ass.


The lift in the woods brings much anticipation.


The ride is hauling so much as here (station fly by) that I'm surprised I caught it on film.


Let the abundance of airtime start here!


Return run...consists of like 10 air hills.


The turnaround was fast, but barely banked, and provided EXTREME lats.


Unfortunately the ride ends when it hits this pole...but really, it changes direction really fast here.


There a picture of it for you.


I think that lady is still getting airtime...this ride is so good, she probably is.


The end of the ride is that high up, yet its still fast as hell! This ride defies physics lol.


I <3 you Boulderdash.


Rode this crap for the sake of the credit.


The brake run rocks because you know the pain is over...until you try to get up.


Another Boomerang...surprise surprise.


Was a pretty good boomerang though!


Aww pretty Zoomerang!


We also rode Ghost Hunt...I got my ass whooped, but got revenge later on during the trip.


Being the smart mofos we are we went back to riding Dash all night. While the park was open waits were like 10-20 mins max.


Wait was basically just outside the station, which separates depending on whether or not you want the front half of the train of back half.


Boulderdash is faster than Kingda Ka at this point. OH REALLY!


Where amazing begins...


The park was nice enough to open the kiddie coaster for us before ERT, which was a credit we got denied earlier in the day.


Nighttime ERT from 10-11 PM was the most bad ass thing ever. The ride was hauling soooooo much ass, and felt faster every cycle. By the last ride I counted 18 moments of airtime. Yeah, its amazing...don't forget about the setting either, it was pitch black. And oh, the ride op was awesome too!

Day 3 sometime laterz!

can you post the video of the station fly by

^He may have meant 'photo camera' film?

What is that supposed to mean? My camera takes pretty nice video...don't judge by crappy Youtube quality.

I need to update this...like 12 parks to go lol.
