What did they take out? Chaos? Ummm... yeah, I think we all know why that's gone. To be honest, I honestly don't think Michigan's Adventure needs another coaster yet anymore. What they've done the past two years with Funnel of Fear and Grand Rapids have done SO much for the park. SO much. I talked with Camille Jourden-Mark on closing day, and she said this has been their best season ever as far as how the public is enjoying the park. So, I'm going to take my Michigan's Adventure statement from a few pages ago back and now just stick with Fun Spot, who could benefit from puting in a good woodie like Beech Bend did.

My homepark back at home is Fun Spot in Angola, so the best coaster there is Afterburner. My homepark up here at school is Michigan's Adventure, so of course the best coaster is Shivering Timbers.

Your girlfriend's hot. Nice pics so far.

I'm in love with Blue Man Group. As a drummer, how can I NOT be? I own both CDs (and listen to them frequently) have seen the show in Chicago several times, and performed last year at our annual "extravaganza" band concert with two friends the "Drumbone" song complete with blue outfits and the drumbone itself. Gotta see this tour, gotta see it.

Alright, the down payment is sent via PayPal so hopefully, if all goes well, I'll be joining all of you on the Midwest trip next year.

$7.00 for a bottle of Fiji water at Universal? Wow, I can buy a box of 24 for $4.50 up here in Michigan... Great Trip Report so far, can't wait to see the rest.

You already know this, Robb, but the Midwest is becoming a definate possibility now... I don't know yet though, I'll find out Monday for sure.

I'd buy a shirt of the "MORGAN ALERT!" in a heartbeat! Watching FD3 this afternoon again, just because I loved the comics so much and I hate FD3. Yeah, I know, it makes no sense, but I just got up and I have to go to class already. *~* Jon "MORGAN ALERT!" Roost

11:30 Eastern Time, correct? Setting TiVo to tape it right now.

I got the e-mail and of COURSE I jumped at the chance to get another hoodie. You know us college kids, gotta have our hoodies. Espeically those of us where winter starts in a week and lasts until May.

I'll be there again in less than two weeks, if you want to hit me even harder.

Remember that sexy guy in the official update? He posted his trip report today here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=247819 You wouldn't want to go like, visit it and comment on it, would you?

So, the quest for rollie rides continued today at Cedar Point... the queue line capital of the world. To see a few of the 2007 construction photos from today, check out the official TPR Cedar Point Construction thread here on the forums. For all the rest of the photos, check out www.PointXtreme.com Long lines + up late + need to get back to school = Goodbye Cedar Point! Today's ONLY coaster. See all this? We waited in this to end up having a break down. This is Mike, my partner in crime that helps me bring TPR their 2007 construction updates! I was definately "rockin' the house" if you know what I mean. So what do you do when everything has a huge line? Go see a show! There's that sexy guy again... must be he brought sexy back. ;o) Top Thrill Non-Working Dragster struck again this afternoon. You thought those were supports for a COASTER? No, this has nothing to do with 2007... you must be mistaken. Did I mention the lines were HUGE? Some kind of activist group (definately not the Point Xtreme Staff) was able to get this banner up on the ride and get a photo. Someone didn't want me to have food tonight. I found the secret of the "Voted one of the Top Ten wooden coasters" award (look at small print). Domokun is confused with Mean Streak. Ooooo, look! Big shiny new rides! I see it! It's over there!

I made cookies the other night in my dorm... and burned them. Stupid dorm ovens are hotter than marked, so I had to bake them for half the time. Then everyone in the hall found out I baked cookies and came and got one, so I had like, two left to myself. So tomorrow night I'm baking like, 100 cookies. It'll be fun.

I think Ryan's having a bit too much fun pounding people. Great comics FLIPDUDE, keep up the awesome work.

I moved in to my dorm yesterday. I've got band this week and then classes start the following week.

I'm an avid watcher, I even have all of the episodes recorded thanks to my new DVD recoreder. I'm rooting for James, Boogie, and Will. Those three I think need to be the final three, and then let them duke it out. They deserve it, they know how to play the game the best. I agree with Elissa, Janelle needs to die. Danielle too. I can't stand either of them, and I hope they're the next two to go, after Marcellas that is. Can't wait for the Cd'T. Hope that stirs it up nicely.

Tonight's TPR chat was great. I don't know half the people in there, but everybody's so cool. Thanks for not treating me like a n00b (VF07...)!

Sure, if you live somewhere where the sun doesn't set for a few months and tomorrow is actually in January.

I've got to get one, I mean, come on, it's only a few bucks... and Barry's videos rock.

You get to be at Cedar Point early in the morning until late at night with some of your closest friends (well, at least that's what I like about it). Yes, it does get "busy" as compared to, say, a weekday in May, but still, it's not THAT bad.

Oh Robb, you know I was just kidding...

-Where do/did you go to college? In six days I will be starting at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. -What are/did you studying/study? Since I was late to register, I have the strangest mix of classes. Some of my classes include: Visual Basic, Non-Verbal Communication, Photography, American History, Liberal Education... my major right now is Advertising and Public Relations. -What made you go there? Everything is BRAND NEW! Not to mention it's a mid-sized college and better than the college my parents wanted me to go to: MSU. I don't want to go to a big school like MSU, so I chose GVSU instead. I'll post a Photo TR of my dorm move-in soon... Jon "Reality" Roost

Corkscrew at Playland (part of the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver, Canada) A lot of it was special effects and computer generation, so don't get too excited. i know where im going during my next vacation I'm sure you can ride a Vekoma corkscrew coaster somewhere closer to you... or, better yet, save yourself the pain and go somewhere else.

Oh hell yes. Trust me, I visit nearly 20 times a year and EVERY time I get a frozen pie slice. They stopped selling them up front, though, I have yet to find them this year.
