  1. I’ve missed this forum! Have to say, I’m definitely looking forward to the new beachfront era and to ride the spinner by the lake. Now, let’s just have TTD become The Cat, giving it a Calico paint job and adding a few dueling-coaster style swoops and loops over the top of the wild mouse a few times, calling it now lol.
  2. I've stayed at the Super 8 twice (two nights, then just one the next stay), the last two summers and I found it to be of great value. My room was clean and I liked the large outdoor pool area (and that the pool stays open late). It's also nice that you can walk to the sports bar from the parking lot after a long day at the park, get some drinks, then just walk back to your room.
  3. I would agree that Wicked Twister and MaxAir are the hardest to get on. I've lost a lot of weight over the past 14 months, am 5'9, have large legs and wide hips, and had a huge spare tire and was just overall very basketball shaped. I wasn't able to ride Millennium until I got down to 275 and at that point I needed help getting buckled in. At 255 I could easily buckle my own belt and was able to get on dragster and MaxAir but not Wicked Twister. If you can get to 225 you should be fine to ride pretty much anything unless you have giant shoulders, that can still be problematic on Wicked Twister as I understand it. Also, I never had a problem with Maverick, even at my heaviest, so there's a silver-lining. Just don't get discouraged. Good luck, you'll be fine! Edit: Power Tower can be a bit problematic too, but even though they don't have a test seat, you have the option of testing it out Just walk up to the exit and ask for a chance to test the seat. They'll let you hop on for a sec in between runs and see how it goes. You have to jump back in line if you fit (which should seem obvious, until you're sitting there and just ready to go) but it's worth it rather than waiting and having to abort.
  4. LOL, I promise I had nothing to do with it. That's what I get for keeping the same handle I've had since a few decades ago!
  5. In other news, Sagebrush Sue's was on fire this morning (maybe 10:00 or 10:30am ish). It's probably, pretty badly damaged but the fire was contained to the structure. It waaaaas a soft-drink and food-stand. That part of the park was closed for a little while, and you could smell it had burnt all day when you were nearby. It was fun riding Maverick in the smoke. There were not many people in the back of the park yet so it went unnoticed by many folk and there wasn't much of a hubbub about it. Kudos to CP and their fire department for handling it in stride. Here's some pics I took: Location Broken windows... No drinks for you! Smokey RMC Maverick, mmm.... Not good. Definitely not good... Nope Time to clear out please. Fire extinguisher
  6. Is anyone visiting opening day? It's sorta been a tradition for me the past few years. Unfortunately, I'm dog-sitting next weekend (2 dogs, though they're both family being my parents' and sister's dogs). But I can get someone to look out for them Saturday and I've got the itch. Convince me!
  7. Ditto, and I got to experience DT when it was fresh and all of the pre-show worked. That was fun, but the ride was tame for me. In my young mind at the time, space mountain was a far superior dark ride. Wildcat was both visible and visceral and far more pleasant to look at lol.
  8. Beautiful trip report, thank you! Visiting Efteling is, admittedly, on my bucket list.

  12. I couldn't keep my eyes open the first time on a flyer. For some reason the hangtime roll on Banshee just makes me contract and close my eyes, i think it's the old, "i'm a fat guy and i'm going to fall out of this thing." syndrome."
