whootah.com has been spotted half way around the world, courtesy of fellow whootah.com member Jay! Jay is on Themeparkreview’s UK Coaster trip with 52 other coaster nerds. Check out the trip report at TPR’s site. Can you spot Jay sporting his official ’super special limited edition’ whootah.com t-shirt?

2006 Midwest Voyage Returns

Monday, May 29th, 2006

It’s too late for me to write much about it, but I’ve worked hard tonight to get a majority of the pictures up already! Check them out at my flickr photoset page for our Midwest Voyage trip to Holiday World and Beech Bend.

Also…. what do you think of using flickr instead of our current photo gallery? Flickr gives the pictures tons more exposure than just hosting them here. You can still comment, add to your favorites, view large sizes, all sorts of stuff. Comment here which you like better. More details from the trip will be posted soon!

Midwest Voyage

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Thursday, May 25 bright and early at 7:00 am 4 members of the whootah clan, Alan, John, Jonathan, and Phil will be heading out towards Indiana for a trip to Holidayworld in Santa Claus, Indiana. We plan to visit several places and will take lots of video and pictures to post when we return!

You can read more detailed information about our trip here. Well actually it’s just us planning what to do where to go that sort of thing. But I’m not even sure anymore what our exact schedule is or where we’re going sooo… just wait till we return and we’ll fill ya in.

Have a happy and safe memorial day!

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

It’s that time of year again, and with all the commotion about the whootah.com buyout (and return) we almost missed this years TPR annual video contest. Whootah.com has been very successful in the past.
2005 we won Most Improved Videographer From Previous Year for Carowinds Opening Day 2005
2004 we won place #14 in Readers Choice awards for the 2003 C3 video

2006 is our next chance to grab the #1 seat. Check out the TPR page for all the info!
