Day 1 - Scandia
Scandia is kind of an amusement park but really more of an FEC with an awesome custom Miller coaster called the Scandia Screamer

user posted image
Scandia...yep

user posted image
Wow I didn't know these existed, so I had to play (5 star Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughn on hard)

We had all heard there was an ordinance banning screaming on rides so we laughed at this

user posted image
Salute to Busch

user posted image
OMG it's a coaster I didn't ride!

Day 2 - Mundo Divertido
So before we left many people warned us about being so careful in Mexico, let's just see how much we had at risk, shall we?
user posted image
This is literally all there is to crossing the Mexican border!

So we found a taxi driver on the other side and found a good $10 rate over to Mundo Divertido

user posted image
Is this a ghetto (Mod Note: Watch your Language!) hole or the next WDW, let's find out!

user posted image
Chris seems excited (Don't let the dinosaur rape you!)

user posted image
Am I excited or in pain? (excited because the ride hasn't started yet, but about to be in pain)

Across the street from Mundo Divertido is like Argentina

Day 3 - Las Vegas Bonus Credit!!!!!!!
So driving from Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix to Peter Pipper's Pizza we saw a fair with a wacky worm so Chris slammed the brakes and swerves across 5 lanes of traffic to stop and ride it

Time for another credit (yay)

user posted image
And that's my honest opinion

user posted image
Which way to the rolley ride?

Day 3 - New York New York
After hearing a particular "enthusiast's" opinion of the ride here I didn't know what to expect...but don't let some video of a dumbass cursing his guts off fool you, this is a sick ride.

Nice PTR, but PLEASE resize your images when you post them. We do not have an auto-resizer and it makes reading the PTR very hard to read.

And I see a Bluesmobile in the background...

user posted image
We rode Perilous Plunge, and none of us died

I saw a store that reminded me of Amsterdam at Knott's :wink:

Seriously, they need to add some garbage cans at Knott's

Sorry Jon, I can't figure out how to resize them once they've been uploaded at photobucket...

yeah, that is indeed a Bluesmobile in the background, I'm not sure about at Hollywood but I know in Orlando they actually drive it up to the stage before the Blues Brothers perform everyday, it's pretty cool.

jonrev - March 26, 2009 11:03 PM (GMT)
There should be a box underneath where you watch the upload progress that allows you to resize it when it's uploaded.

I'm not going to worry about it right now, just in the future resize them before posting.

Thanks.

M_Force_4_ever - March 27, 2009 05:27 AM (GMT)
I'll screw with pbucket tommorow and try to figure it out so I can post day 5 and 6
