| | | We want to see your home park!
Jimmy started this fantastic idea and I think we, the site, should expand on it.
I know I myself, would love to see the parks across the US and all over the world in their glory. We don't get many Photo Trip Reports on the boards, but adding the rich history of any park is a great bonus!
So, start posting some pics of your home park! Tell us about the history, the rides, everything!
The more the merrier! Besides, it does end up helping people plan for their future trips! Especially if you can see what a park offers before hand.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask Jimmy or myself.
Here are some already finished virtual tours! Kennywood, Walibi World, Adventureland and The Park at Mall of America.

| | I want to add to what she said above. The key is that YOU are like a guide giving us a virtual tour of your home park.
Feel free to use my tour as a guide to help you. Not only post pictures but also tell us about them. Mine may not be as complete as what some of you might put together, but you get the general idea when you see it. http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/...ad.php?t=42527
And if possible, we'd like you to divide your tour into the different theme sections grouping your photos from a particular section. And also if applicable, show us pictures of the park's entry signs and plazas.

| | | Sounds like a really fantastic idea. I have a bunch of pictures from Adventureland that you're welcome to. I'll get to work.
EDIT: Actually, does anyone mind if I do Worlds of Fun as well? Technically, it's not my home park, but I know it better than Adventureland.

| | | I'd do Kennywood like Katie, but I don't have any pictures of Kennywood, oh well, maybe I'll SFGAdv since I'm going there on Friday.

| | | That's another thing....more than one of you can team up can work on your project together. We encourage that and it probably would make the presentation even better than if only one of you worked on it.

| | | Not the point of this topic. We want our members to show us around the park in their point of view. Not to go to another site to find it. We all know of plenty of sites that do this. This is for TN to get a more indepth look at a park via the rides, food, atmosphere.
