Tom, just a little tip until we fix the WAP home page...

The news artice on our home page which is what WAP navigates back to every time you hit "up one level" contains a WAP link back into the forums for WAP access. Just click the GadvUpdates specific news article and check out the bottom of it.
http://gadvupdates.com/forums/index.php?page=61

Since that is accessible via your phone, it might save you some agravation.
Looking forward to it

Cool
I know in the past I could with my Phone
- Start a New topic
- Post to topics

I just need to try to upload photos
Can I ?

WadeJ · « **Reply #3 on:** June 07, 2007, 09:30:46 PM »

hmm, if you can upload photos to another source like imageshack or photobucket from your phone, you could just use the IMG tags in your WAP post and we would see them on the regular boards.

will try
i'm on my 8525 cell typing this

edit:
back on my PC
I will give that a try
get all the Links bookmarked etc.

I normally drive everywhere this time I'm a passenger so I'm not used to it
so I will have some time
I can also hookup my Cell 8525 pocket PC to my Laptop and get web anywhere so that may be much easier when I'm in car or Stationary

Tom, Are you Jack Bauer with all this crazy technology?

PcMan · « **Reply #6 on:** June 07, 2007, 10:20:44 PM »

what do you need ?

Dubya91 · « **Reply #7 on:** June 08, 2007, 12:21:37 AM »

Do you know if it is possible to do that with my Chocolate?

The first thing you do is get rid of Verizon and get ATT/Cingular
Verizon:
- Net Plans are to expensive $49-$59 and up
- CDMA Network means you have to use one phone
- No Rollover

ATT:
- you can get unlimited Net for $19 a month and use the phone as a modem with your laptop
- GSM Network used around the world and I can take out my SIM card and use ANY unlocked GSM phone (this can't be done with Verizon) I have many phones I use (limited to 1 with Verizon)
- Rollover never get over usage charges I currently have 4300 minutes rollover

Can you till I don't like Verizon I just don't Like the CDMA technology it locks you in to only one phone.
if my phone stops working I take out my SIM card and put it in my other phone or my wifes phone or in a Phone I bought off ebay for $20 etc.When I go on a Trip I take 2 phones.
I only keep my Phone for about 7-10 months then upgrade to a newer one and just insert my SIM card. then sell off then other on ebay or Craigslist.
Verizon phones are worthless

Chocolate you will need net accesses

Tom, it should be a great week... we actually have a ton of parks to go to now... Dorney, Lakemont(if time allows), Cedar Point, Geauga Lake, Waldameer, Kennywood and Idlewild(if time allows again).

PcMan · « **Reply #12 on:** June 09, 2007, 11:02:40 AM »

Cool
Every Coaster at every park (except Dorney) will be a new credit for me

my ride count will increase bigtime after this trip
just like last years midwest trip I think it was like 40+ coaster ?

weather looking good also

High: 82-84 ?F
Partly sunny
low at night 63

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #13 on:** June 09, 2007, 11:30:03 AM »

Nice, Lakemont, Idlewild, Maverick, and the kiddie coaster at Kennywood will all be new for me.

Dubya91 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 09, 2007, 11:38:59 AM »

Oh man Tom, Wait till you ride Millie

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #15 on:** June 09, 2007, 12:08:46 PM »

Yeah Tom, wait till you ride it and say "what's the big fuss about???"

PcMan · « **Reply #16 on:** June 09, 2007, 12:35:30 PM »

Millennium force ?
yes I'm excited to ride it

or are you talking Magnum ?
Also I'm looking forward to comparing TTD to KK
and all the other coasters I been reading about in Rollercoaster Magazine (since 1986) even before the internet was big or even around (ACE member since then 21 years).
back then it was just Bulletin boards and Prodigy Compuserve dialup was the biggest thing
Prodigy had about 1 million subscribers and AOL had about 100,000 now AOL has 27 million and I could have been rich if I bought AOL stock back then.

will be a fun time will try may best to post some pics on this thread

PICTURE UPLOAD FROM Phone TEST

edit:
below pic taken with my 2MP Cellphone (of my home PC) then resized in my phone to fit this thread
then uploaded from my phone to imageshack
then posted here from my phone
so when on this trip I will try to take pics with my cell phone then post them here from my cell.
I will also have my 10MP Canon with me for the better shots later

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #18 on:** June 09, 2007, 01:44:01 PM »

Tom, Magnum is the better of the 2 IMO. MF is WAY over rated... Wicked Twister is a good ride, Gemini is awesome, Raptor is good stuff, Disaster Transport was fun, Mantis is OK, Iron Dragon (I might be the only one who says this) is fun. You'll see.

TTD vs. Ka...

As much as I love my homepark, I give the nod to Dragster, easily.

PcMan · « **Reply #19 on:** June 09, 2007, 02:06:38 PM »

checkout the Toboggan ride at Lakemont

http://www.rcdb.com/ig247.htm

what the total coaster count on this trip ?

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #20 on:** June 09, 2007, 02:18:20 PM »

I know I'm getting 9 new credits on this trip now if everything is open (that's not counting the kiddie coaster at Lakemont since I know people that haven't ridden it.)

Total Coasters for trip go as follows:
Dorney Park has 9, but 3 are kiddie coasters (1 you can't ride)
Lakemont has 4 but one is a Kiddie Coaster (which you can't ride)
DelGrosso's has 2
Cedar Point has 17ish, unless you count Gemini as 2 and you can swindle a ride on Jr Gemini (hihgly unlikely)
Geauga Lake has 8
Kennywood has 6
Waldameer has 3
Idlewild has 2.
49-51 coasters if all are open and we can get on the kiddie ones!

I just rode a Toboggan ride at Ocean City yesterday, it was AWFUL and painful. I smacked my head on the roof about 3 times. It's fun until you hit the bunny hops at the end.

These 2 rides made up for the Toboggan though...

Im gonna have to agree to disagree here, MF met the hype in my book, especially if you sit in the very front row, its not an airtime ride but its a speed and shock kind of ride, Magnum hurt my thighs slighty from the airtime and the metal bar pushing on them, it was fun but MF was better, none the less both are fun rides

coastermom · « **Reply #23 on:** June 13, 2007, 11:45:44 AM »

Oh I wish I was going and as for riding JR Gemini it was easy for me but I had a 3 year old to ride with.

Here is my opinion I hate to say it but TTD does have the edge here over KK and as for MF I only rode in the back and the speed is amazing. I can't wait maybe next summer we will get back to CP . Please tell us how mavrick is .
