I think it may be 90 because once the track starts to level out on the bottom of the drop its always some **klunk** like the wheels are starting to connect w/ the track again... does anyone else notice that... -

Yeah I think it was some sexy dude that made that point... -
nah lol lol...with the company change alot has been slowed down as far as announcements. Also some attractions have been going back and foward and believe it or not some decision making is still being done. PKD basically knew what was comming next year so thats why that announcement was pretty much on time as well as construction. But yeah, Paramount parks is a tad bit behind right now!

you really think so? I tend to favor SFoG' more because it does more than just out-turn-back. SFoG has several turns, a pretty impressive looking helix, and water sections...but then that could just be me... -

Where In The World Do TPR Members Live?

In a house! But seriously I live in columbia SC -
Wow what a long commercial break! October 8th I decided to start my day off at the studios since the last 2 days I have been starting off at IOA. I really like the studios because mainly all the attractions are hidden with in the themeing and nothing really stands out...well except the kiddy stuff but thats another story. When I got in the park I decided to take this pic since this would probably be the closest it will get to california any time soon... My first stop was to shrek 4D. After taking a trip to... We find ourselves in lord farquad's tourture chamber and they give the story about that happen between shrek 1 &2. This is another attraction that shows how much the workers of universal really like their jobs. The crews are always great and very funny....if you dont agree then you will get flogged ...**ok all together** "Ooooh Nooooo!". The this is your typical 3D movie attraction that uses the water effects and compressed air and other effects. But they are wrong for what happen to the fairy at the end lol lol. After that I decided to check out the talking donkey located outside. I was very impressed with this concept. I dont know how but its amazing how well donkey interacts with the crowd and its nothing pre recorded its all live. Needless to say it had the longest wait time in the whole park that day! Next attraction in the line up was Twister-ride out! After a short walk thru... We find ourselves in the kitchen in the main house featured in the movie. After several preshow films telling us about twisters and how the movie was made we find ourselves "outside" in the area of the drive in movie theater. I have to say, this attraction always scares the crap outta me everytime I experience it. With the wind, the rain, the fire and all that stuff going on around you its impossible to say it was "nothing". I can just imagine what being in front of a real one is like! This time I mananged to make it out dry, noo not from wetting my pants lol lol but its one of those attractions that you have a good chance of getting wet. Back in the new york section of the park I decided to take this picture... Before heading to Revenge of the Mummy. Wow is all I can say about this attraction. This ride is very good in my counting opinion lol lol. The whole dark ride scene is pretty creepy and very detailed. Its impossible to take in everything in the scenes in just one ride. But no matter how many times I ride I NEVER see the rumored kong statue or any of the rumored kong stuff! But what I really love about ridding mummy is that mostly everyone ridding has no clue that its a roller coaster and during that launch...its just classic the things people say! Combine that with some great moments of air time...I think I counted 4 (which is great for such a small coaster)...awesome themeing...and real fire...and not to mention that very scary imoteph animatronic, you have yourself one sure fire way to keep guest comming back and back for more! I mananged to get about 3 rides in like 15 or so minutes but left when some school or church group of kids start abrusing the single riders line, oh well it happens. So while exploring NY I came upon this sign... I nearly crapped my pants because I was soo ready to ride the cyclone! After following the arrow I found out I was duped and there was no coney islands or a cyclone ...but I did get mugged and an offer from a "street walker" (and not the kind on stilts either 8) ), man universal really knows how to recreate the enviroment. After asking an employee where the cyclone is, yeah not giving up hope yet , I was told that I would have a better chance of finding weapons of mass distructions on the bush ranch than finding the coney islands cyclone at universal! Of course no employee told me that just adding some humor So with that said I decided to head over to san fransisco. This is another cool, well themed area of the park. While passing... I decided to pass on it because its not that "appealing" to me. From what I hear it was a whole lot better when it had the phantom in it instead of those twin crack whores! Oh well, hey did I mention how busy the park was? I thought the people must have forgotten the park is open on a saturday! Now what day at universal will be complete without experiencing earthquake! While not a blockbuster attraction its something that the whole family can enjoy, and even participate in. Here is the first area we are in where we see how the some movie effects are generated thru these windows... Oh here is a shot of the control panel...nothing to do while waiting to fill the room so shoot pictures... The second preshow area shows more movie magic and special effects, like what...cant tell ya but someone takes a fall thru a distroyed building lined with jagged edges. Now the actual earthquake simulation is pretty fun. see all that stuff stuff fall down and watching it reset itself while you are exiting is something you dont see at most parks! After some more rides and attractions like e.t. and terminator 2 3D which is very cool, im still trying to figure out how some of the effects are actually done, I decided to head over to IOA. But before I left i ran into this chick... She was moving pretty quick and I mananged to stop her and ask her where she was going and she replied the gym. So im sitting here stratching my head wondering what the heck she is talking about but then I looked up and saw it... (ok how many of you really get it...you have to study the picture! 8) ) But hey, just like love...there is a gym for everybody! Now im about to enter IOA and noticed this... Yep, there a man standing right there looking like he is about to fall a sleep! (see you're a bad person lol lol ) For some reason after being at the park for the last 3 days I just didnt wanna wait in line for much of anything at IOA that day. Partly because I had ridden everything over the last few days numerous times already. So basically time time spent in IOA was just admiring the atomsphere and decor. But while admiring the great atmopshere I notice this... I soo wanna know his story. I was sadden at the same time yet, confused because he seemed pretty normal but just a tad bit overweight. All I know is that he wasted his money for admission because I dont think he could have ridden anything...not even the B&M big boy seats could have saved him...but anyway after strolling thru marvel SHI I went over to toon lagoon. I was basically following the layout of the parks and taking cool pictures like this... For all of you photo folks out there toon lagoon is the place to take a great amount of photos. It seems as if the themeing was placed just for that purpose! After marveling over the final drop of ripsaw falls I decided to take one more trek thru jurassic park before my time ends at IOA. Now I didnt say anything but during my whole trip I was looking for that expensive tree that IOA purchased that barry describes in his VIP tour TR. And there I found it standing in all of its glory... There was no way I was gonna get all of that tree in one shot. Just as barry stated, that thing looks like it is like 20 trees tied into one. Nice huh...but while walking around it seems like some of the locals from the newly open Hong Kong disneyland decided to come across the water to check out the IOA, and this time they kept their kids fully clothed... After showing them where the restrooms were I went over to ride dragons one more time! My biggest wish is for B&M to use the same concept on another pair of dueling coasters and place it in my backyard! After riding the dragons until I couldnt feel my legs...speaking of legs...I spotted this... Ok people, if you insist on wearing wedgey inducing shorts atleast wear a shirt that doesnt draw attention to it. That bring a new meaning to the term "hungry ass". Since I was a couple yards I decided to go back to mythos. Today my server was, dang I dont really remember his name right now but im almost positive it was Robert. He blew me away more than the food. We had a conversation about HHN and he was asking me if I was going and how he went that previous night. We then went on to talk about how he worked it for 10 years and he made a note that "its just not the same anymore" but still he said it was an awesome event. And what took the cake, literally, is that he knew that I wanted the ooey gooey cake! he said it was the HHN vibe kicking in lol lol. But before my cake got there I had to go potty. Guys I almost thought I was in a house at HHN when I went to the restroom. If you have ever been in the restrooms at mythos you know exactly what I mean! And if you havent then here are some shots... Talk about disorienting, imagine standing up wizzing looking at it! Now only is it the best resturant in a theme park chain but it also has the best restrooms! Well That ended my IOA, US, and HHN eposide but dont fret busch gardens in next in the line up! I want to say thanks alot to those who read all of this and looked at all of the pictures!
