Josh Davidson

To read this PTR, you need a sense of humor! Just like last year, posting this great report with my friends on History again! Now to Jake...

Jake is writing the captions...while Josh takes a shower. These are the best 120 pictures out of the 600+ Josh and I took yesterday. Enjoy.

Mrs. Davidson and Caitey enjoying the water park.

Marissa and her friend were also having fun.

Mr. Pirate says "Welcome to the most epic PTR ever."

Mmmmmm....toasty. The fire moved these rides around a little.

Josh was bored waiting for me to arrive...

Careful, handicaps falling from wheelchairs....WTH????

The bumper cars were anxious to open...

Yumm...too bad I wasn't there in time

They have no idea....that they are apart of theme park history

Morey's played the "R" card against fat people.

Pure awesome pain...

We broke the pirate ride and caused a 10 boat pile-up....no lie, we went off the track.

We should've paid more attention to this...

Free food! Acer's ahoy!

The recession caused the food line to be the longest...

Line.. the ride.

OMG Josh, why did you take all these pictures of the line????

Peter Pan is on this ship, he's just in an invisibility cloak...

The beach is rather large...

One of Josh's many plates...the recession had no effect on his appetite...

Kiddie goes "Ka-splash!"

Pinfari should just stop trying...

The lift hills signs were gone...ruining the whole coaster...

Ouch! Yet one of the best boomerangs...

What the **** is this?

Weeeeeee...

This shot was taken legally!

*cough PHILLIES /cough*

OMGZZZZ Guitar Herozzzzz

I am finally here! It's 4 and the day is just starting...

Josh enjoyed B:TR while waiting

George McCain made an appearance as a paintball target

Zombie...oh wait... Zom...sunglasses store???

Recession sized fudge...

Shown here at actual size...

I was in awe of the best drop tower in the northeast...

Wood track!!!! Or boardwalk....you decide.

Hmmm.. where could the restrooms be????

We are such enthusiasts...

'Nor Easter is still bad...just less painful

Josh says it isn't bad though. He is occasionally right.

Station: The Ride----coming to a 3 point shootout game near you!

Uncle Dante was scary...

Josh was enjoying his time working on the ride...

We were in tears over the recession based closure of the Giant Slide

We rode Doo Whopper with Santa!

When life hands you free tram car rides...take pictures.

More of the pain we know and love...

WELCOME TO THE FRIED OREOS SECTION OF THE REPORT

We found the missing ferris wheel cars...every fourth one was chillin' behind Sea Dragon...

Before...notice the smiles...

After...notice the agony....

Recession Polish Ice...

Skyride...Pt. 1

<3!

<3 x 1,000!

Max says "Yo!"

One park that still has Medusa

Josh got it on with the giant snake....

The epic maze adventure...

We accidentally left through the Chicken Exit...so of course we had to try again.

Screamin' Swing tickets!!!!!

Josh got hungry while waiting....

Josh with a 30 footer for eagle...."Get in the hole!!!!!"

Sooooo close...good try Josh.

Night shots on the Skyride....yay!

Mickey D's had so many drunks...it was hilarious.

Skyscraper rocked for last ride!

I learned how to drive with Kermit and friends....

And then off to bed...with GADV.com!

Morey's was awesome! Photos by both Josh and I (Jake).

I can see Superman going to Six Flags America or Kentucky Kingdom as a new attraction since Supermans capacity would be better for a smaller park.It would be weird not having Superman there though and having a shortened boardwalk.I can see it happening eventually,but I don't think it will happen.

I agree with Superman being a good addition for Kentucky Kingdom, but America all ready has Batwing, I don't think having two flyers (even though one is a Vekoma) would work out. Flyers are not necessarily a "gimmick", but if you put them in a area where people have never seen a flying coaster before, it will amaze A LOT of people and bring them out.

And Chang would be a fun ride to see come to the park! A return of a stand-up to the park, LOL. Plus, they could easily target the newer generation that wasn't around for Shockwave. I doubt many people (minus the old park veterans & coaster enthusiasts) that go to the park have seen a stand-up before.

Is it me or when you see a photograph of this ride running in its course it looks almost like a roller coaster model, LOL. I think it is the colors of the trains but it is pretty funny. And you are right about that signature shot! LOL!

Great photos though!

LOL Harry it could be the light just making the station look half blue, half brown on the top

Look, and this is for EVERYONE, I won't tolerate slagging of other sites or members. I've said it before (see it above) and I'll say it again: we're all the same in our love for the park and we must see each other as branches of the same family...

Thank you! Exactly how I put it! But when someone tries to slagger my site I just am not going to just sit there and listen to him, especially when he is trying to get us a bad image. Like I said this site is great, you guys all have done a amazing job covering the past with everything! You guys have a impressive old park employees demograph, so much content, and intelligent posters, but like I said when I see someone (especially at my own site), I just can not tolerate it anymore. Especially when we never did anything to spark it except having a enthusiastic forum community...

POST DELETED

Nothing against History, you guys are the best. Harry is the man, Tom has really made this site amazing.

[off topic rant]

But just maybe, one day a grown man will grow up and act like his own age. Maybe one day. I mean just look at like just a few of his posts.

POST DELETED

The other GA Fan Site out there had some pics. of Medusa's, or or should I say, Bizarro's Train's in the Station. They had the water Dummies as Rider's. You really can't make out the Speaker's in the Seat's though. The only reason I knew about it was Screamscape had a link today. So I quess the testing phase has begun, probably to get the Track Sensor's in sync with the Effect's.

Stay away from GAOnline!!!

 

it wasnt from them....

For real, it is like every other post of you is trying to talk about are site or making fun of our members. How old are you? If you got a problem with my site, be a man and just say it to one of the staff members faces on there. Don't go posting around and attempting to make fun of us.. really. Our members are enthusiastic about the park, young. Learning. But we also all a family, united for the same thing, the love of the park. Maybe one day you will be able to comprehend that.

[/off topic rant]

And you are welcome Harry! I haven't seen you at the park in a while!

We got some photos of Bizzaro testing here. The last row only has two seats.

The Online squad will be out enjoying the day! I really do not know which ride I will hit first, I am going to guess Toro but I really will just drift in any direction my friends want to go. That is part of the fun of going to the park is not having to worry about what ride first, blah blah. I look forward to the new Big Wheel and hopefully you will be able to see a tad of the new Medusa.

Harry, the new float for the Glow in the Park Parade is confirmed now, just to toss in there.

Just got a season pass! Woot!

I guess we can look forward to a great season on your site this year.

Yeah man, the awesome members on my site and my great staff are going to make this season the best!

Sigh, I can not afford a season pass which equals me not going to opening day or really any day to the park this season..

Wow, look how good the colors looked back then. Back when the colors were that sharp and non-faded, it was my favorite color scheme among roller coasters. Good spotlight guys.

WOW! Park looks like it is shaping up, and man does it bring memories from last years construction tour, it was so fun. Thanks for the awesome photos guys, you covered everything I was very interested at! Plus that was awesome the park did this for you guys, they are the best!

A member on my site posted this finding and decided to share it with my pals here at GAH.

The ONLY thing I think they need to change is making it longer, because it is so good

New Medusa Photos!

(Click the photos to see more, plus later on a off season update from FlyingPhil!)

A other nice feature IPB has added.

Now once they fully release IPB 3.0, I'll be happy for life

^I have the commercial for you guys here if you would like to watch it! I filmed it about two weeks ago.

I enjoy it. It showcases the park and seems timely to the New Years. Hmm, but this leaves the question that they don't have the More Flags More Fun. Does this mean they may have ended there campaign with him?

Hey guys, Happy New Years!

^ Operate the Olde Tymers antique cars - fewer kids!

 

I am hoping to go to all four but I have a feeling Hershey is going to win out over Dutch Wonderland if we only make one trip to Lancaster/Hershey. I've never been to Sesame Place yet so I definetly want to check that out. Storybook Land is a Christmas tradition.

 

Let me know when you are down. Isn't it ironic I live literally a five second walk from there but two days ago was my first time there since I was 4! LOL.
