  2. Noooo my video for the competition is basically finished! And all im saying is that its pretty sweet!! Jarvis "walks away whistling to the tune of hooray for hollywood... psst...thats a hint lol lol" Morant!
  3. As some of you know im going to Universal Orlando, IOA, and Busch gardens to do some filming for my project...well in lieu to getting ready I went to grab my camera last saturday to take it with me to dollywood this weekend, right. Well my camera start doing some funky stuff like taking forever to load and then when it did it couldnt reconize the microdrive. SO I was like maybe its having a minor malfunction. I get back from dollywood and get the camera, again the same thing. So I call JVC and reset the camera and got the same thing. The dude gave me the info to take it to a local JVC repair place to see about getting it fix. Went there today and was told it will take like 2 weeks :shock: :shock: !! I nearly passed out because I leave in exactly one week. He told me that I could see about sending to the JVC service center and they maybe able to get it back quicker. So I called them back and after being on hold for almost 35 minutes w/ one of the brightest customer service rep I found out that I would HAVE to send it to the service center due to the type of camera it is. So I tried to get more information from the rep who just kept placing me on hold and comming back to the phone and introducing herself like it was a new call lol lol (yeah she forgot she placed me on hold twice!). I tried to see if I can overnight the camera and have it back by next wed. but I got no where with einstien. So now im like...I leave in basically a few days and I highly doubt that I will be able to get the camera fix and I have no idea what to do! Then I start thinking...I really dont wanna purchase another camcorder right now being that that kind of camera cost a pretty good sum of money (1,999.99). I thought a little longer and am still thinking that im just gonna go to bestbuy and get the camera (since its on sale for 999.99 right now), get the camera for the trip, and bring it back and pay the re-shelfing fee of 15%. What do you guys think... :?
  4. poor six flags...cant win for loosing!
  5. I wouldnt say Schwarzkopf coasters are forgotten its just that one hasnt been made in a while so quite naturally they wouldnt be the talk of the town...but keeping in lieu w/ the purpose of the thread lol lol another coaster that just open up not too long ago that kinda fell off the map is dueling dragons...
  6. You should! If you have never been there its a "wowwing" experience. Its something totally different than any theme park I have ever been to. With everything seeming to be made totally in park, while you wait (sourgum is sooo good!)! Thanks man, I try really hard to make the song tie into the actual theme of the coasters so it can have that "unique feel" and luckly its almost impossible to get a bad shot of thunderhead! I noticed that too lol lol. I was like hummm...it looks like im right there lol lol...thanks for the kind words... Well nothing is booming but you can kinda see where its going...also you can kinda see how the park is gonna eventually become a loop!
  7. Yeah I knew yall were gonna be there and I was lookin but didnt see ya. Those shows sold out quick from what I heard and it seemed like the park was full of people just for the show so hey, better for me!
  8. My fav water ride is Top gun @ Carowinds...in the rain
  9. I ended up going alone! But I could have used the 5 dollar season pass one...since I have one Jarvis "even if I go to the park once i buy a season pass--ya never know if your gonna go back" Morant
  10. Poor themeing on TR...show me a better themed outside topspin and I'll show you and artist rendering lol lol...The themeing is pretty good on TR. I mean you dont wanna take too much from the actual ride.
  11. I very rarely write these so consider yourself lucky lol lol... Well last night I decided to take the drive over to dollywood. After waking up at 5 this morning after going to sleep at 12 I finally got on the road at 6. After an awesome drive thru the mountians (at aprox 70 MPH on the winding roads...hey, I needed something to wake me up) I finally got to dollywood around 9:30. When I got there for some reason dollywood always seems crowded from the parking lot so I was like i'll see when I get in the front gate. So I go thru the season pass entrance and discover it seems like everyone in Tenn. must own a season pass! The park wasn't that crowded but it was still a good crowd. First stop was thunderhead.... Thunderhead - was still getting ready for a day of non-stop thrills but to my suprise it was only one train running. After waiting for 6 circuits I got in the front seat with a kid since I was a single rider. Man, what an awesome way to start a day. Of course Don was there to hype up the crowd but thunderhead just keeps getting better and better. It seems that coaster has everything anyone can ever want. Great laterals, great transitions nice air (not the "OMG im gonna fly outta this train" air, but enough to lift your ass off the seat long enough to know, that was some aiiiir-time ), and a layout that just keeps getting faster and faster as it ends. If I have to give some advice about this coaster and my honest opinion I would say..."This coaster lives up to the hype. Great layout, smoothest transitions I have ever experienced on a wooded coaster and some steel, and packs a punch from the exit of the station back into it. After my first ride they put the second train on but it kinda had a line half way up the stairs (hey im spoiled and I think thats too long to wait lol lol) so I went on to TENN. Tornado. I came back later on about 1 something when the ride was a complete walk on and got 3 back to back rides! TENN Tornado - is a pretty sweet coaster in my book. The themeing is immaculate and I love the setting of the coaster. Not to mention how smooth the actual ride is But then again how can anyone screw up a coaster w/ only 3 inversions and 2 turns!. To my suprise the kid from thunderhead was over there and was like 1 of I'll say...5 people in the station. yep, this was another walk on ride in the park! So we rode in the front seat of this demented coaster. I really love the lift drop turn drop sequence done on this coaster! The first inversion is just...unreal! The turn looks deadly following it but its pretty nice...but what really gets me is the insane amount of g's you get going thru iron butterfly. I swear it felt like my feet were gonna go straight thru the bottom of my shoes lol lol. After the first ride the kid and me decided to get a back seat ride so we just went walked out of the front seat and went back to the back seat-mistake. Apparently at dollywood there is a "one ride walk .5 miles back around to the entrance and ride again...even if you are the only person in the station!" that some enforce and some dont. The lady was nice and let us stay but told us we had to walk around the next time so I was like...ok. However I did find out why. Apparently they use to let people stay but sometimes when they stayed some people came up to the seat they stayed in and had to wait when if they had to walk around the people would have been able to sit in the seat w/o waiting for the next train...fair enough. Didnt stay for another ride so headed over to Blazing Fury. This is a crazy looking coaster/darkride/ water ride with some props that seems like they havent been updated since jesus flipped the switch for the first ride ever. But still funny none the least! Hummm....I wonder if in 5 years I can sue the park for 5 million, my neck is hurting a little 8) . Went over to mountian sidewinder to find it was closed for season maintance, no problem gives me more reason to go back again. Decided to go over to tour count"R"y fair, yeah I have to stress the "R" because all along I was calling it the county fair. Country Fair - is very well done. It puts areas like the dinorama area at animal kingdom and the amity section in universal studios to shame. The first place I went was the dizzy disk which was also a walk on. Well not really because as I was walking to it , I got stopped 2 people from loading, no prob! This ride was wild! If you havent been on one of these rides just imagine being on a half pipe going back and forward and spinning counterclockwise then stopping and spin clockwise also. Once the ride stop I walked right on lemon twist. Now THAT was some crazy spinning! I was alone but I was spinning that sucker like it was no tomorrow. I couldnt see anything at all while on the ride and kinda got queezy afterwards. Saw the veggie tales coaster was operating and went right on over to it. Today is the first day I felt like a credit whore because I really didnt enjoy the coaster lol lol but I just had to up the count! Alright, left the country fair and headed over the one attraction that had a line...Aunt granny's! If you know dollywood then you would know that aunt granny's is the most popular place in the park. What other theme park has a buffet, a full buffet inside the park for only 9 dollars...im sooo there! But it was still before 12 so they were still serving brunch and I couldnt eat sweet breakfast food after getting off lemon twist unless I wanted to chuck it back up so I headed over to the car ride. I figured since everything was a walk on I might as well ride it. I was quite impressed with this car ride. It had a working audio system in the cars and you actually steered the car! Now it was time to go back to the only place in the park that had a long line, Aunt Granny's. After eating some of the best food around I headed back over to thunderhead, but I already mention that...so then I went to smokey mountian adventure. This is another well themed ride that looks to be very universal-ish in content and you get a good glance at dolly's "dollys" . To my suprise Dolly was actually in the park today having 2 concerts and a parade at 5 but I didnt stick around for that...but I did manage to get my first ever ride on the train ride and after that Im sooo hoping dollywood gets a terrain hyper because the land elevation is pretty steep enough so it wouldnt have to be taller than the trees and it looks like the park is on the verge of making the layout a loop starting w/ timber terror next year. Also this was my first time at a theme park w/o my handy camera equipment :shock: , yeah its that shocking especially if you know me lol lol so I dont have any photos from today, however I am attaching the thunderhead clip featured on my DVD "A Day at the Park" Presents...Dollywood. THUNDERHEAD Thanks for reading and enjoy the video!!
  12. 1) "X", Dejavu, superman krypton coaster, SOB, AIR... 2) Vekoma motorbike, and the long forgotten aqua trax coaster!
  13. just wanted to know if they are dollywood discounts for tickets out there. For some reason I thought ACE members got one but just checked the site and I guess not lol lol...and I have already invited someone at a "discount" rate, didnt say how much but told them I can get them in for a cheaper price...does anyone know of a discount?
  14. Hey any coaster is better than no coaster !

  18. CRIKEY!! Paramount’s Carowinds Announces New Boomerang Bay™ Water Park for 2006 Season Charlotte, N.C. (September 21, 2005) – Bye bye WaterWorks…G’day Boomerang Bay!! Paramount’s Carowinds guests will experience a taste of “down under” down south next year as the theme park introduces a newly-expanded, Australian-themed water park, Boomerang Bay. Inspired by Australia’s breathtaking Gold Coast, the 16-acre water playground creates a new world of exotic exploration that features three new attractions: Kookaburra Bay, Platypus Plunge and the Walkabout Pub. “We’ve been looking forward to developing an even bigger and better, five-star water park experience for our guests,” said Bob White, general manger of Paramount’s Carowinds. “For years, guests have been speculating about a water park expansion or new water attractions. In 2006, Paramount’s Carowinds Boomerang Bay will offer all of this and more!” The multimillion dollar expansion enlarges the size of the water park by nearly 25 percent and creates an Outback oasis of family fun large enough to span nearly 16 football fields. The water park also encompasses more than 25 water activities including more than a dozen water slides, a tropical lagoon complete with a waterfall, a 1,000-foot lazy river, a massive wave pool and two family water play areas. Guests at Boomerang Bay can take advantage of first-rate amenities designed to make every day a g’day on the Australian coast. The area features lush landscaping, a non-smoking environment and the addition of numerous shade structures and lounge & beach chairs. In addition, a new changing area and restroom will be constructed to complement the enhancements to the current changing rooms for all of the visiting Blokes and Sheilas! New attractions and additions include: Kookaburra Bay – This mammoth lagoon offers in-water lounging and a relaxing, cascading waterfall set in a tropical, secluded environment. The 125,000-gallon, zero to three feet, heated beach lagoon allows water-lovers to wade in from the water’s edge, get showered under mushroom-shaped water statues and spend the entire day splishing, splashing and floating! The beach lagoon is surrounded by oversized lounge chairs, offering sun-worshipers a chance to soak up an awesome tan! Platypus Plunge – A beaut’ of a family adventure, this two-person tube, double water slide takes kids and their families through more than 100 feet of twisty, curvy, banked turns before gently splashing into a shallow pool of water. Walkabout Pub – Guests can get a taste of the wild and exotic Aussie-style at this open-air bar. Pull up a stool or sit at one of the many outdoor tables to catch a cool break from the heat under the shade-covered patios. The pub serves ice cold beer and refreshing tropical drinks including frozen margaritas, mudslides, pina coladas and daiquiris. In addition to the three new attractions, Boomerang Bay incorporates all of Paramount’s Carowinds current innovative water park attractions. Awesome Aussie Twister – A black hole experience that plunges riders into total darkness as they glide through giant tubes to a splash pond below. Great Barrier Reef – A 700,000-gallon, 25,000 square-foot wave pool that provides a surf-like experience for guests. Crocodile Run – A 1000-foot long lazy river that allows guests to float leisurely along its path through North Carolina and South Carolina. Pipeline Peak - A totally twisted complex of four enclosed water slides, including two body slides, Screamin’ Wombat and Ripsnort Ridge and two tube slides, Bondi Pipeline and Tasmanian Typhoon. Down Under Thunder – A four-person family raft slide that swirls riders down four stories through a 564-foot long route of high-banked turns and unexpected dips. Sydney Sidewinder – A pair of open tube slides that twist and speed guests along dual 370-foot chutes, complete with a thrilling series of high-banked turns. Parents also can take advantage of two kid-friendly water playgrounds made especially for the little ones: Jackaroo Landing – A three-story water jungle gym complete with kid-controlled water sprayers, water wheels and a huge 1,000-gallon drenching bucket. Kangaroo Lagoon and Wallaby Wharf – A one-acre spraying, splashing, hands-on water playground for kids. Boomerang Bay will open in May 2006 during the park’s 34th season of operation.

  19. I dont know about you but stealth looks pretty happy to be at carowinds...
  20. I would like to see people enjoy the park and realize it can be here one day and gone the next. So what they dont have 16 coasters or 24 thrill rides, its still a fun place with enough to keep you busy for a theme park day!
  21. LOL LOL but I would be lying if I said "...walks in with a itty bitty waist" lol lol!
  22. Im curious has mulchpuppy been banned?
  23. Hey guys or should i say good morning! I went to the park this weekend and to my suprise the scarowinds stuff is starting to go up! I have to say, im pretty impressed so far with what I see. Im kinda glad the park decided to add "fearzones" because that gives the event more personality. To get an easy understanding of the event check THIS out. Well anyway here are the pictures. The first set of pics are of what looks to be the area that doubles for the nick or treat by day and CornSTALKERS by night... Now moving not too far from that area closer to the front of the park we have the area that looks to be known as Corpse Cavern. Lucky for carowinds they have a good bit of trees the scaracters can hid and scare the shi....crap outta you! Now shifting gears to Spider's Lair which is gonna home of...yep you guessed it, Scorpions! Lol lol, no really, Spider's Lair looks to be the creepiest area especially if the web gets on the people and they have those hanging invisible strings that tickles your skin. And what looks to be like its gonna be the best fearzone we have Slaughter Street. The short of the story is that the filming of a movie scene is gone wrong and somehow the undead is waiting in the wreckage. im very excited with how Scarowinds is turning out over the years. Being the horror fanatic that I am I am really impressed with all the detail the park is going thru this year. And the fact that all new houses with the exception of alien crypt and the introduction of the "fearzones", Scarowinds is gonna be a hit! Thats all for now but I leave you with this final picture! Did I mention the park is going all out for this one it seems !
  24. How about a "vertical loop" or "lift hill" contest!
  25. Oh yeah ...so you wanna fool us w/ your "models" well I gotta model for ya **unzips pants** its called the "tower of terror!" 8)
