Last month I was out of town for just over three weeks. Almost two weeks in Charlotte, a few days in Orlando and another five days in SoCal. I posted a HUGE photo TR on Theme Park Review that explains everything. It is the largest photo TR I have ever done and I am really happy with the way it turned out. Go check it out if you have the time.

Here are just a few pictures from some of the parks I visited.
Carowinds would be the first stop.
BORG Assimilator - aka Stealth from Great America.
Top Gun: The Jet Coaster. The only really good coaster in the park.
Next was Busch Gardens Europe for Hallowscreem.
Griffon was the highlight of this park, although every coaster was good!
Then it was off to Kings Dominion.
Volcano prooved to be as good as I have always heard it is.
While Italian Job was a big surprise! I loved it! Silverwood really needs a coaster like this, just with a different theme, that the whole family can have fun on. Not too intense for the kids, but still intense enough for the adults.
A short eight hour drive south and I'm at the other Busch Gardens and the other B&M dive machine. Almost as good as Griffon, but not quite. Both were great though!
Kumba was also amazing.
As was Montu!
Cypress Gardens was next for a ride on Starliner.
The next morning was Animal Kingdom
to see if we could find the Yeti.
Then it was off to Epcot.
Back at home the car is loaded up and we are ready to head to Pomona!
DLR on Halloween!
Of all the trips I have made to Disneyland, I had never been on Holiday Mansion. I still like the original version better, but it was fun for a change.
Later that evening we took the kids trick or treating at DCA.
Needless to say, they had a blast.
Back to Disneyland the next day.
THen it was to The Mountain on Saturday before the big race on Sunday.
My three weeks of insanity ends with me racing my '65 Skylark in front of over 40,000 people in Pomona at the NHRA Auto Club Finals.
So these are just a very few of the pictures I posted. Go check out the full report!
