Day 1 - In Transit
Ben came over and we headed over to meet up with Chris for dinner and preperation for the trip

Image
Ben perfects his emo pose at Chris's house

Image
Representing gangstas all around

Image
Pretend your awake guys!

Image
Everything in Texas is blurry

Image
1 PSP and a copy of kingdom hearts please

Day 1 - Boomers

We arrive at our first credit which was pretty close to the airport
Image
Boomers!

Image
What defines a credit whore?

Image
Clearly it's this

Image
Tiger Mike is so hardcore

Day 1 - John's Incredible Pizza Company
This place is pretty cool because it includes a pizza buffet with the amission
Image
Experience the Incredible

Image
A buffet and a credit? who could ask for anything more?

Image
THIS PIZZA SUCKS!!!!!

Image
Only real photographers know how to take a picture of taking a picture of taking a picture

Image
MARINARA!!!!!

Image
OM NOM NOM

Image
On the other side of the building

Image
Incredible

Image
I know I messed this picture up but I love how it looks

Image
We are dirty

Image
And this is what it looks like right outside the front door

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

Image
Scandia...yep

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

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

Image
Yeah, hi...live on location at Scandia

Image
Roller Coaster pictures are serious business

Image
Awesome...crazy drops!

Image
Group Shot!

Image
The logo made me laugh
I'm irreverent and stuff...

Day 1/2 - Navy Lodge
Over night we stayed at the Navy lodge at San Diego's navy base
Image
This is where they were building a ship

Image
Hello San Diego, you are beautiful!

Image
Flavor free?

Day 2 - Legoland California

Image
Yay were here at Legoland

Image
Hello credit, how I love thee

Image
Lego giraffes (for Mom)

Image
Half of Legolands Robocoasters (6 in a row FTW!!!!)

Image
What did I tell you about real photographers?

Image
Project X...doesn't that sound a bit adult for a kiddie park?

Image
This ride was so cool!

Image
Yeah, hi awesome and unique boat ride

Image
Group shot with the awesome boat ride

Image
Does lego Einstein have good brain?

Image
1. Sears Tower

Day 2 - Belmont Park
Mission Beach (the location of Belmont Park) is (for those who don't know) My second favorite place that I've ever been to, so I was ecstatic to be here :)

Image
This is my 3rd attempt to ride this coaster (sweet model btw)

Image
Nice ride homie

Image
I don't think Chris likes this place as much as...

Image
ME!!!

Image
4RLZ
<3

Image
Anyone who goes to Mission Beach needs to eat here

Image
They're garlic fries are amazing

Image
And you can take myspace pics inside

Image
This is the place...it's sooo effing good

Image
I LOVE MISSION BEACH!!!!

I don't care what anyone says, this is a great ride

Image
It makes me smile

Image
Coaster Saloon!

Image
Group shot at Belmont

Belmont park <3

Day 2 - Not Seaworld
Yeah so Chris's salute to heros thing ended up not working for Ben and I so we didn't feel like paying $52 for a credit...No Sea World

Image
Salute to Busch

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?
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

Image
Is this a ghetto shit hole or the next WDW, let's find out!

Image
Chris seems excited (Don't let the dinosaur rape you!)

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

Image
Across the street from Mundo Divertido is like Argentina

Image
Group shot with Gusano Loco

Image
One of these things is not like the other

Image
A toothbrush machine and a payphone, 2 things you will never see in America :wink:

Image
Park map!

Day 2- TOMMY'S RESTURANT!!!!!!
This is a 50s themed diner out side of San Diego that we absolutely had to stop at...TOMMY'S!!!!!

Image
SWEET!!!

Image
This place looks awesome

Image
First thing I see inside, a south Carolina license plate

Image
Welcome to Tommy's

Image
Yeah, hi

Image
You probably can't read it but "Tommy's big chili dog" lol

Image
"I'll have nothing but they're pancakes please"

Image
Soooooo close

Image
The closest I found (I looked around the entire restaurant)
I'm irreverent and stuff...

Day 3 - Universal Studios Hollywood
Since we are superstars and all we decided going to Hollywood would be absolutely needed

Image
Ballas park preferred

Image
This is my 3rd spinning globe credit

Image
Not sure about Ben's spinning globe credits?

Image
This is where we are

Image
And as a reminder (never before seen pic BTW)

Image
o0o0o0 sweet ride (inside the park)

Image
Hello to all my fans

Image
Wow what a view (now I understand the escalators)

Image
Time for a ride or something

Image
Kiwk E Mart yay!

Image
Had to have a Duff

Image
Better than Orlando's (Water effects FTW!)

Day 3 - Driving to Vegas
So right after Universal it was time to haul ass over to Vegas

Image
OOOOO pretty!!!!

Image
*see above caption*

Image
All I kept hearing was "meep meep"

Image
I totally read this sign as "looser sluts"

Image
On our way we stopped for our In-N-Out credit

Image
Double Double with no tomatos and animal fries, whutwhut!?!?

Image
Abba Zaba I LOVE you

Image
The World's Largest Thermometer in Baker

Image
Here it is closer (it says 55, and it only goes down to 50)

Image
Cool building

Image
That must've been a tricky landing

Image
The sign said "Rock Hard"

Image
One last driving shot

Day 3 - Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix
The 3rd of many FECs on this trip...Woot!

Image
Here we are, now get your asses moving

Image
Here is the credit...it is rolley and small

Image
I loves my credits

Image
Not just once

Image
But twice to really represent the GAP

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

Image
SWEET!!!

Image
This is the showman

Image
Woot bonus credit!

Image
Clown likes garbage?

Image
YAY Credit!!!!

Image
Wacky worm

Day 3 - Peter Piper Pizza
So heres another FEC...credit, with airtime!

Here we are

Image
Here's the credit

Image
Me on the ride

Image
Chris demonstrating how to be both a credit and a camera whore at the same time

Image
This is intense

Image
Again messed up but I think it looks awesome

Image
Hey Ben don't hit your head

Image
I'm with that G-A-P

Day 3 - Nascar Cafe
This was pretty much the best coaster in Vegas, and probably one of the best on the trip

Image
Yay I'm so esssited

Image
Only have to wait 10 minutes for each launch

Image
A gaggle of GAPers

Image
I'm on speed

Image
SEXY!

Image
It's such an awesome ride

Image
YAY We love Speed!!!!!!!

Day 3 - Adventure Dome
This is another really cool indoor park that I enjoyed greatly...and Canyon Blaster is one of the best Arrows I've ever been on

Image
Located inside of Circus Circus

Image
Is this huge dome

Image
Time for another credit (yay)

Image
And that's my honest opinion

Image
Which way to the rolley ride?

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

Image
Woo let's ride

Image
Smile!!!!!

Image
Cool trains, not to mention how many coasters have brake lights?

Image
We don't look like were in pain (if you can tell)

Image
Scream if you had fun

Image
Where do I enter???

Image
Credits

Image
More credits

Image
Even more credits (this place is packed with em :wink: )

Day 3 - Buffalo Bill's
This is one of the three casinos in Primm at state line between Nevada and California...and boy does Desperado kick ass!

Image
Here we are yay!

Image
Do You Dare?

Image
The lift hill shoots up into the sky behind us (too bad it's too dark to see)

Image
Updated signage much?

Image
That's what were here for

Image
That is one cool train

Image
2 Gangstas and 1 desperado

After a couple of laps on desperado it was time to get some food so we stopped at the buffet inside the casino

Image
Mrs. Ashleys buffet, alright

Image
Here's our entrance

Image
Hey Ben, want this plate?

Image
Too bad! It's mine!!!!

Image
This made my diabetic self very happy

Day 4 - Winter Coaster Solace at Knott's Berry Farm!!!
It was time for all of us to loose our Solace virginity at the tenth anniversary of Solace

Image
Schedule

Image
We felt very welcomed

Image
Don't be jealous of our VIP laminates

Image
Some of the crew during ERT

Image
I meet the East Coast General...or as I call him, General Jerry

Image
We go to the chicken dinner restaurant for breakfast

Image
Look alive for the camera fools!

Image
You bring your biscuit and I'll bring my gravy

Image
Let's get a pony express credit, ok Brandon?

Image
Than let's exclude Chris from our group shot (seriously I don't understand how he didn't make it into like any of my Knott's pics)

Image
We rode Perilous Plunge, and none of us died

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

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

Image
Best coaster of the trip (we were sooooooo glad it was open)

Image
Ben and Brandon take a ride on Xcelerator

Image
There was a cheerleading competition going on in the park, and this was the "How wrong can you make cheerleading look" competition

Image
It's fun...but kind of forceless

Image
Lunch time!

Image
It's not a coaster enthusiast event without gravy

Image
Kriss Calico mine ride!

Image
Cool runnings!

Image
No caption needed

Image
Here's a cock

Image
Laminates like whut!

Day 4 - Castle Amusement Park
This was a quick stop between ERT sessions at Knott's for credits...sadly I only took 2 pictures

Image
New for next year...The entrance!

Image
This place looks ghetto
Day 4 - Pacific Pier
After castle park we booked over to Santa Monica to ride the Morgan (only need 4 more to complete the collection)

Image
Here we are, it's nice

Image
In case you didn't believe it was a roller coaster

Image
Here I am at the pier <3

After the pier we went to Adventure City, but my memory card was full so no pics (but the video will be up at some point)
I'm irreverent and stuff...

Image
Say hi to everyone who's not here with us

Funny that SFMM should be saying have a heart

Image
That's one big sugar daddy

Yeah this park used to be like my favorite, but now I think it sucks (sad)
I'm irreverent and stuff...
