jarmor

take a deep one capt jack lol lol...

would would be cool of you did the TR in the style of "then/now" format so we can really see the difference!

Is what he is doing considered...cool? :?

The last winterfest? wasnt that like in the 20th century. If im not mistaken this is the first time in a long time this event is happening at PKI AND PC so I think alot could have changed in how the event is taking place...

NOOO...well i haven't experience it anyway but just wanted to join the bandwagon !

^ well im kinda on the same page as you lol lol. For some reason it didnt have a "mine" feel to me! It felt like freddy was let loose and shredded everything! I hear everyone talk about crowds but it was not crowded when I went and that was a friday night. On some of the pics in my TR you can see there wasnt any huge crowds at all. And I think that was something beyond satan in the demon cantina. That thing made me cover my ears and turn the other way I was soo freaked out lol lol. And I totally Agree how its hard to have anyother theme in those places being that you will have the themeing of the islands conflicting with it...like in marvel. and when I went on that friday night everything was running...ripsaw falls, flying unicorn and even alot of the US attractions were open. Sorry you had a bad experience lol lol.

After talking about that infamous song (im not telling your gonna have to download the video!) in chat yesterday I decided to make a coaster video to it. At first I was like...how the heck am I gonna pull this one off but I think I did it pretty well. Actually I used the video to try out some new "effects" in the video. This video has everything! From off ride shots to on ride shots...from coasters to flat rides...from dancing half naked chicks to men in daisy dukes :shock: ...yep this video has everything. I channeled the TPR God when doing this video so kids...its not for the uptight! I even made sure I had lots of shots of me in it...but dont worry im not the one wearing the daisey dukes, or am I 8) . In the end I decided to make this a video summarizing my park trips for this year. So if you wanna see dancing coasters and breast :shock: , Oh yeah, check out the video! **sorry no longer avaliable...that a teach ya to wait! 8) ** Oh yeah...let me know what you think of it! As I said...im testing out some new stuff to me and want to know if im doing a good job!

after reading that whole thing....dan doesnt look as good as he originally did.

Commercial break is over now... Now where were we...oh yeah I left the studios and went back to the hotel to freshen up for a festive evening at HHN. I arrived back to the park around 6:45 and was glad to see everyone going in the opposite direction of the parks. When I arrive at the gates of IOA I swear I was at a 50 cent concert judging by the ample amount of security at the entrance but hey, safety first. As I walked thru the gates I was greeted by this thing... He too asked me if I was jarvis, however I frantically shaked my head no and ran like crazy lol lol. But from that point on I knew I was in for the shock of my life! So as I got deeper and deeper in the fog I could hear the screams and the rearing of the chain saws but couldnt see crap! Until this came in front of me... and it got closer... and it well...go to HHN and you will see . Overall terra run was pretty fun. I dont think much can be done with the entrance being that its the mouth of the event and you dont want to have things too congested around that area. The scarafice show was kinda...well...not that exciting. it was good but it seemed a little too staged for my liking. The first time I saw it was when I first got to the park and it was done with out the queen. You can kinda tell the crowd wasnt all that excited about it because they had to ask for the crowd to make some noise several times before someone actually screamed! After watching the show I headed over to Iron Bone Gorge. This is not a place you take a teen who just reached pruberty because he would be, well, "alert" from all of the dancing biker chicks but dont worry...the chain saw dudes and biker dudes will fix that real quick! This section of the event was the most wildest and had non-stop action that people beg for. From the what looked to be hundreds of dancing chicks lining the streets and everywhere to the roaming bikes this section rocks, literally. well after walking thru for a little I decided to go check out demon cantina. I really did like that house. The scares are good the rooms are cool but I wished it was a tad bit longer. What really creeped me out was the ending...I dont know what that thing was but it had me high tailing it out of there! Forgot to tell ya I actually filmed HHN instead of IOA so I dont have much pictures from the event but im still going to try to give you a good overview of the event. after demon cantina I decided to check out Iron bone gorge... Hey you 2 the party's out here! even spidey looks creepy in the fog. And you cant go wrong with booty bouncing dead biker chicks! After that it was time to go check out... This year the show was pretty good. The only one I have to compare it to is last years and I kinda liked last years better. This year it seemed like it was too much random stuff going on but the ending was pretty good. The celebs they chosed this year were great choices and it wasnt as much dancing going on. I wish I could have seen what it was like when it was held at the wild west stunt show stage. I heard it was pretty good there. Well, I dont really have any photos of the show since I was recording the whole show! After the show let out I just hung around for a bit because if you have been to it before you know it becomes very crowded around that area. When the crowd died down I went to go check out the rest of south hollow. The area of the park was not as scary or themed as some of the others. The only thing it really had going on for it was the cool lazer and fog effects, but I dont think this area was suppose to be that scary... Here is a shot of the lazer source. Pretty cool huh... There were a few scaracters scattered about but it wasnt all that scary over there. to my suprise they were running Ripsaw Falls and even more of a suprise people were ridding it. I dont know about you, but I dont think I wanna be walking around at night wet. Although it was pretty warm during the day it got a tad bit cooler that night. But anyway here are some night shots of Ripsaw Falls... and a closer look... It may just be me but for some reason that looks like a scale model lol lol and you can even see some of the cars droping. After watching people get soaked I decided to go check out gorewood forest. This is the creepiest section of them all being that the whole area is dark but we will get back to that in a minute. Lets talk about The Skool. As you know bill and ted just let out and everyone atuomatically walks to the left. The line for this thing was very long! Even the express line was like 60 minutes. I decided to come back at a later time and when I did, well...I was let down a little. This house wasnt scary at all. Sure kids are creepy but they just stand there, well they did when I went thru. Universal did a wonderful job on recreating a old looking school but the only scare I saw was when one of the kids banged a bat on the table in the cafeteria, now that kind of startled me but other than that it was just a walk thru admiring the detail of the house and the scaracters (who looked just like little kids!). Ok lets rewind back a bit...after learning the express line was like an hour at the skool I decided to go check out body collectors. But on the way there, man o man, its very intense. See as I mention earlier this whole area is dark (which is why I have no pictures) and the scaracters are camoflouged in folige and some are hiding behind the trees. Here is the only picture I took in the area... Jurassic park is the best place to hide scaracters because the trees block out the moon light and they add more of a scare appeal to the event. But what really freaked me out was those huge animals w/ the glowing eyes! But anyway I managed to get to Body Collectors in one piece. Like I said it was dark so here is one pic from waiting in the que for body collectors...I think... Now about the house. This one was pretty darn good. The Scaracters had me jumping all over the place. The lighting effects are amazing in this house. To me it wasnt your typical house being that it wasnt all dark and scary looking but trust me...its very scary in there. The posted wait time for this house was like 15 minutes but I guess alot of people had poured in from not wanting to wait for the skool since its right around the corner so the wait was a tad bit longer than that. So what do I do...pull out my trusty express pass and wait no time! I highly reccomend getting one of those if you are going on any night! However I only had to use mines for one of the houses (this one) and the actual rides, but other than that it stayed in my pocket! After I left Gorewood Forest I headed over to what is the best themed section this year, Dragon Forge. I was amazed when I walked into dragon forge. The lenths the park went thru to make this area seem like a firery pit is out of this world. And not to mention the scaracters. This section had the most scaracters and the most diverse anywere. I know I saw atleast 4 different types! But beware the chainsaw guys are literally naked yep, even the fat ones! This section is where I was got spooked the most...how spooked did I get you say? Check this out... After that I had to go change my underwear...had a little "smelly" accident. Oh yeah...here is the only pic I was able to take with out getting the crap scared out of me... That chick was actually filming a commercial for telemundo or something. I asked if I can be featured in the commercial and they were like "do you speak spanish?" and I was like "ummm...no but I can scream in spanish see... el AHHHHHHHHHHHo" needless to say I didnt get the part but oh well. After getting a tad bit lost trying to get to Terror Mines I finally made it. The wait time for this house A big fat 0! Thats right the regular line had no wait time at all. Actually all of the houses on this side of the park had no wait time. Everyone went to the left and crowded iron bone gorge, south hollow, and the first part of jurassic park but no one was in this area so im all happy now, but realize I had an express that I paid for and probably wont get to use it...bummer. This house was pretty cool. The scares were good and I loved how universal makes use of the air guns. I was kinda looking to do the water tunnel thing some ways into the house vs at the very beginning of it but it was still fun none the least. It was cool seeing people freak out when the lights went out and those ugly creature things were on point! Pretty cool idea for a house but wasnt all that great to me...next up blood ruins. Generally anything thing that goes in the sound stages is pretty good but well...I dont even remember this house so that should tell you alot. Next... First let me say although this event is advertised in just islands of adventures its really in both parks! After walking thru North hollow I found the malkden path (i know I soo butchered the spelling of that). This place kinda killed the event to me but after I got thru to the studios part the whole theming was gone so I guess the path is what takes you back to reality being that there were no scares over there but there was this chick... and this dude... But the suprise of the night was found at rat race. While I didnt do it because I didnt want to get wet or anything It seemed pretty cool watching the lighting effects and people running around laughing and having fun...oh yeah the suprise! The conductor of the Rat Race was none other than.... Yep Jack was running things around those neck of the woods. After sitting and watching for a while I decided to go check out Where Evil Hides. I really enjoyed this house! I live the hall of doors and the transition thru the closet to the place...where evil hides! Any house that has stairs and water effects and people on bungee cords (well...Cold Blind Terror had bungee people also but...) is a winner in my book! This is the ONLY place you will see the storyteller in the event, unless you buy a t-shirt. I think they could have done more with her but oh well... After that house it was time to go check out Cold Blind Terror. Pretty nice attempt at a completely dark house but when you sell lighted beer cups and people bring them with them lol lol its not gonna work. I did like the people w/ the flash lights popping out and the wierd people flying above but this house seemed more like a fun house than something to make to use my undies as a crapper. But it was still fun walking thru it. Actually...this seemed like it was the reycling bin of the park because it had effects and props that were used at several past houses and scare zones in the past. By that time , it was time to head back to... After hitting up some of the rides I decided to go back to the hojo but before I left they were doing another scarafice and this time the queen showed up. I really wished they could have done more w/ her too. For petes sake she doesnt even speak! All she does is raise her hands and moves around on the bike...but anyway here is a shot of the terror throne all pretty at night... Overall it was a very nice event and I really enjoyed myself, as you can tell by the video clip , this event is definitely worth the trip for! Time to pay the bills with another commercial break (actually I have to go to class lol lol) will be back w/ more Universal studios, Hungry ass's, and a picture from hong kong disney?...stay tuned!

I would make all coasters that come in the station at full speed use the speed for something well worth it than just brakes!

Ok I have been putting this off for some time but its time to get these TR's running! Oct 6th-9th I decided to head down to Universal Orlando to check out 2 of the best parks in the world and the worlds best halloween event, halloween Horror Nights. Im gonna this this photo style TR so have fun reading and watching... -October 6th, 2005- After a little over an hour drive to Charlotte I finally made it to the airport around 8ish that morning. It was a pretty wet morning but the south needed the rain but c'mon, why did it have to happen on MY weekend. But anyway I was able to get a flight on airtran for like 180 round trip from charlotte to orlando and leaving out of tampa back to charlotte (we'll talk more about tampa in a later eposide 8) ) After checking in I board the plane and luckly I had a window seat... Yep thats my view. After listening, or better yet watching, the flight attendants go over the safety precautions I decided to start working on my water park design. Some people knitt, some people bird watch but for me my hobby is designing a waterpark! After getting a ginger ale from the flight attendant and my ever soo delicious pretzels... I decided to work on a coaster design... I dont know about you but coasters are on my mind almost all the time, hey that rhymed lol lol. Anyway I thought of an idea about having a coaster themed after an air flight out of control. Yeah the idea has been done before but the story line is different than anything done before. Its like you are testing out a new type of plane, and open air plane that really gets the passengers up close and personal w/ the flight and also these state-of-the-art planes are remotely flown (yeah smart thinking right). well you go thru the thingy to get on the plane and sit down, then your "plane" moves backwards, ya know just like the real ones do. then you get on some switchback track and prepare to take off. Enough already here are some shots of the design... I finally made it to orlando after a weather delay and got to the hotel and was immediately dissapointed being that it was only one shuttle leaving for universal and one shuttle comming back from universal each day! Now im no tourist expert but I think in order to have people want to come back to your place you should provide if not around the clock, several times a day a shuttle going to and from the park...but thats just me. On top of that I found out that I have to pay an extra tax, something like tourist tax or county tax which the front desk dude said, thats why we dont have to pay taxes we have the tourist for that lol lol. AND you had to pay .75 cent for local calls. So I wasnt at all pleased w/ the hotel...whats the name you ask, its the Howard-Johnson on international drive. Avoid this place at all cost! But anyway after a 8.00 cab ride to universal which was a 3 minute ride (also dont ride in a cab with no meter, but thats the cab company the hotel called for me...figures ). I finally get to the parks around 4. I knew I would only have like an hour at islands of adventure which closed at 5 and some more time at the studios which closes at 6 so I still went. As you see it really wasnt a big crowd around that time at in universal city walk... After arriving at IOA I went to get my 2 day 3rd day free pass from the guest service desk and after looking over my ID the lady said in a faint voice, "ya ya your jarvis?" and I replied "why yes, yes I am...". Immediately I heard some doors slamming and papper rattling behind and turn around and saw this... Well lol lol it didnt quite happen but I had to throw in some climatic moment! However my pass didnt work because it wasnt validated yet, dont ask me what that means bottom line it wasnt working for me, so the guest relations worker lead me thru the vip tour entrance so I can enjoy the park. So now im thinking SWEET I can visit an extra day since my pass wasnt scanned and wont be working until tomorrow! At this time it had stop raining but I was still worried because the sky looked like it was about to do some damage so I just started exploring port of entry. After reading barry's vip tour TR I start looking for all of the things mention and I saw them...Oh yeah how can I forget! My intentions were to go to Uniersal Orlando and film for my project but due to several factors I decided not to...and no it had nothing to do w/ getting in trouble lol lol. Now, where was I..oh yeah exploring POE. This area is very well done and the detail is out of this world... Here is a cool park logo at the door of one of the shops... Something creepy is going on in this place after dark... universal also seems to be in love with stilt walkers... here is a shot of the jail that housed the only prisoner... Dont let the blue skys fool ya...as soon as I snapped this shot it start pouring down! Hummm...what could this be for? After riding hulk I decided to check out doom falls. It seems to be more enjoyable to me this time than the others. The launch up and the first fall are out of this world, but the rest of the ride just seems to just mingle. I then headed over to rip saw falls to check it out. I mainly wanted to ride this to see how wet I would get. I only rode it once and that was in 2002 and I vaguely remembered the ride. Virtually walking on the ride I start my journey. as soon as we get to the outside sections I found out that it had start pouring raining and my hair was gonna suffer big time! The verdict is, thats one wet ride lol lol. I dont remember the second drop being there but it was a very wet ride. After that I decided to go check out jurassic park, all soak and wet might I add... Basically I went to see what the mine shafts looked like and well...here they go... This one was longer and I guess some sort of path to no where! Even the dinos got in on the scar-action! Next I stop by JP river adventure to take some shots of the splash down... All that water and you barely get a sprinkle lol lol... After I left the parks I decided to go dine at pastamore' and had some pretty darn good pasta w/ clams, oysters, jumbo shrimp and some kinda fish in it! It was good and spicy. Well now it was time to head back to the hojo and call night. I get in my room, pretty nice room it was clean and already had iron and board in it so I was set. Went to clean my face (all that rain and sweat and hair products are yucky) and to my suprise I realized I had no choices! -October 7th 2005- Now its friday morning and im all psyched and ready to go back to the parks. I get up extra early being that the only shuttle leaves to go to the parks at 8:55 so I get dressed and grab the free food they had and wait for the shuttle. To my suprise (and dont know why I was suprised) the shuttle was full and it was standing room only. It was full before it even got to the hotel! So I figured it was only a 3-5 minute ride so what the heck. The first park I tackled was IOA. Typical day at the park yada yada then I head to the best thing that ever happen to theme parks, Mythos. This is hands down the best resturant ever! The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is great and the music is creepy. This was the view from my table...what more can you ask for! Well perhaps the biggest shrimp tempura roll I have ever had! And it was placed on the best looking plate I had ever seen...this is the aftermath. Hey you ! Stop licking the screen! After that I decided to take on the ooey gooey bananna chocolate cake. I would have had pics of it but by the time my camera started up the cake was gone! So after sitting for a while and pondering about life I decided to go check out the park more. You know what all the times I have been to IOA I have never noticed this... also if you look close enough you can see the best attraction in the park but it was only there for a limited amount of time. What attraction would that be...none other than... me! And not only does mythos serve the best food...its also the best looking resturant I have ever seen... here is another something that I have never noticed while at the parks. Well I have noticed the creature but I didnt know it was half fish! After riding dueling dragons, I can honestly say those are the most intense B&M coasters I have ever been on. I have been on BMTR, Top Gun, and Montu but these are the best because they are super smooth and the dueling effect gets me everytime! Now its time to head over to Suess Landing. I like this area of the park because of the whimsical feel it has. The music, the stories, all of it is a hit w/ me. Probably because I think on a 4 year olds level huh lol lol. The infamous driving machines... As you can see the park still isnt busy... Greedy fish all they want is to take my money just to spit water on me! mandatory shot of Caro-suess-el... One more look at Suess Landing before I head out... Now its time to head over to the studios... Now let's see if im getting this...dupe the stock market, go to jail, and get out and get a hit T.V. show? Man im in the wrong business! Nothing makes my day like seeing a huge blue globe spin in a mist filled enviroment! No particular reason for this shot just wanted to take it! However it looks like the studios is getting ready for christmas...or is this up year round? Fear factor seemed to be pretty popular but I think i'll pass... MIB has a pretty cool sign...outside and in. Time for a random fat guy pic...obviously he forgot his six pack at home and thought he was wearing it that day... Time for a commerical break stay tuned for more pics of HHN, IOA, USF, and random fat people!

I saw the house this weekend it looked rather creepy all back there...

everytime I ride a coaster at SFA it always seems like im stuck...

Hey guys I just finish working on the intro video for my HHN DVD that im still negoiating if I should do it or not but in any event here is the clip! Also I did it in DIVX format for the first time so let me know what you think. Halloween Horror Nights XV

Last week while at shrek 4D I encountered a ghost. he was pretty mean and for some reason wanted to take princess fionna to be his bride of the underworld. he seemed pretty real, freaked me out!

Havent did it yet but I do plan on doing it real soon...its worth the wait lol lol lol...

cool birthday present!

I went to the fair today and got some insane onride footage of all those wacky spin and spew rides and the nice people who let me filmed them. What I want to do is do a video montage of the footage I got but im trying to do something different by getting suggestions of songs to put on it. I was wondering if you cool people could give some song suggestions that will fit the rides. The rides I filmed are rides like KMG afterburner, power surge, fireball, wave swinger, inverter, and some really wicked flat ride that really makes you think twice about a second ride (being that the ride cycle is like 3-4 minutes!) lol lol just to name a few. The montage is gonna be like 8-10 minutes or more longer so im sure I cant get one song that long so im trying to get several songs that can kinda compliment each other to make it interesting! Thanks guys!

thanks guys I spent the morning in class the afternoon at the state fair...got some GREAT on-rides on mostly all the flats, back to class this evening and now at work!

I try not to let much bother me but when I see a group of 12 people in the single riders line all wearing the same shirt kinda makes me twist my eye a little. But I feel better when they all get seperate and they ask if they can sit together...

Hey guys down here in orlando...well in tampa right now but just wanted to give you guys a heads up that the majority of the houses are to the RIGHT as you enter terra run. only thing really to the left is demon cantina, bill and teds, and skool. ironically everything is in the studios lol lol. If you go straight to the right you will have no wait at all for the houses being that everyone is going straight to the left. I felt like I wasted my money on an express pass lol lol...ohh and a blast from the past is also featured in the event but the park didnt spill the beans on this one...and this time he isnt clowning around!

Im a member of ACE. I have only been to one event because I spent most of my summer working on my project. Actually I sent on the carowinds off season event also so for that alone I think it was worth it. I dont really know the community like I would like to but I dont have any negative experiences so far...

Spinning coaster they have is. The south carolina state fair is starting on the 6th and normally we have a wildcat coaster and a dopple looping coaster (the same as lazer at dorney park) but apparently this year we dont have the doppel looping but instead a spinning coaster (which I see no traces of right now and I live .1 miles away from the fairgrounds). Does anyone know what kind of spinning coaster it could be. I only know of reverchon and gerstuler (sp?) who make traveling spinners and reverchon generally calls their spinner the crazy mouse? Jarvis "I guess one anton is better than none " Morant

Hey guys im gonna be doing some filming and part of what I do is walk around the park giving commentary about the attractions and interesting facts and park tips. I decided this time to ask you guys if you know any interesting facts about each of the parks and some of your tips about when to visit a particular attractions. Thanks for your help! Jarvis "your names will be mention in the credits!" Morant

good news...not I didnt save a ton of money by switching to gieco but I decided to purchase another camera to keep! Went to the store last night and to my amazement they didnt carry the camera anymore...bummer but the dude at bestbuy looked on the PC and noticed that there was some in the warehouse going for 799.99! But come to find out for some reason it couldnt be purchased...nother bummer. So we checked bestbuy.com and they had them there for 999.99... So just now I went to purchase one because im really gonna need a camera for next week and now they are 599.99! I nearly fainted at the sight of that price. So new camera is on the way and im gonna keep it! Thanks for all the help, all 3 of you lol lol!
