Thought about Ace. Decided its not worth it. No futher thought on the subject.

Donkeys of course!

Maybe there is a private buyout that day at Elitch Gardens

what we were thinking of doing is staying at buffalo bill's in Primm on the Nevada Border, hitting up desperado and then going to Vegas. Our biggest problem is when we are going, the 1st and 2nd of July. Prices on the strip are through the roof. Unfortunately it is the only time in our trip that we are able to go because the people we are going with have to work during the week. Has anyone ever stayed at Buffalo Bill's?

I will also be going to Vegas this year. I was wondering where you(Mr. Stratosphere or anyone else) would recommend staying. We dont want to be on the strip and want to keep the budget reasonable.

The park looked great. Theming inside and out. I wish it wasn't crawling so I could have ridden the rides, but what are you going to do?

I cant really compare the orlando coasters as I havent been on any except the disney ones. As far as Cedar point goes, I went on a trip a few summers ago and spent a sunday night (starlight pass) and all day monday there. The sunday night was empty and I got on everything, including TTD and MF twice. I could easily see spending two full days there though. We just got extremely lucky that sunday.

the B&M hyper trains are there. You pick the B&M style hyper track and change the train type. The default is the Giovanola version, but the B&M are there.

Here in Chicago, innercity it is around 2.45 and in the suburbs it is around 2.31

Thanks for the info. The reason we are staying in Carlsbad is because my girlfriend's sister lives there and its free to stay there. I'vce thought about getting a hotel in the northern LA area for a night, but since we are already spending the money on Vegas hotels and our budget is going to be stretched on entrance fees already, we might just make the commute and a late night. Also I realize that the time of year is extremely busy. Unfortunately it is the week that I have my vacation from work and is the only time possible to take the much needed vacation.

I was wondering what suggestions people have for our trip. We are planning on hitting Magic Mountain one day and towards the end we are planning on heading to Vegas for a day or two. I have recently introduced my girlfriend to coasters and she has become just as addicted as I am so we are looking to hit as many parks as possible. We are going from the 24th of June until the 3rd/4th of July. We will be staying in Carlsbad with my girlfriends sister and are trying to figure out what to hit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only alcohol abuse is spilling it!

Could you make mine say "Look! No hands!" Thanks! I feels it goes great with my avatar.

Besides homemade moonshine the strongest stuff you can get is absinth. It's so strong, its illegal in the states. I have tried it once while I was in europe and you basically trip on it. Russ "I wish I could legally drink in the states" Kellner
