^ Below 125 feet could be anything though. It could be a new building. I hope it is a coaster though. As big as the footprint is, they could probably throw a couple of flats down too. They can use some of those too.

Its Cedar Fair: The Experience, a 450 foot tall inverted dive machine with trash can themed cars and the track themed to concrete. The brake run will feature water jets that automatically shut down the ride once the first drop hits the track or cars.

The victim of the accident and her family speak. Also, the government is proposing a bill that would allow federal inspectors to inspect amusement parks. The video is about 5 minutes long. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/05/14/bts.amusement.park.safety.cnn

This happened like 2 months ago in St Augustine. A lady had her 4 year old daughter and her older daughter in the car, but she buckled up a case of Busch beer instead of her daughter. A cop saw them coming out of a Big Lots parking lot (no surprise) driving erratically, and ran a red light. Here is an article on it. http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=101574

Simpsons ride is awesome! I wish I could get out there to ride it. Great report Erik. I too have all the seasons, so you aren't as geeky as you think.

Perfect quote for this! I love Blazing Sadlles. That is classic Chuck!

I'm heading to the STL sometime this summer, and I want to plan it so the coaster is open. Do they have an official date yet? Everything I've seen only says mid summer.

Went to a sneak peek of Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night. Another great Apatow movie. It was really funny. I would put it up there along the lines of 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up. WARNING!! Do not take your kids to this movie!! There is definitely some stuff the kids should not see, and the language is on par with all the other Apatow movies. Its rated "R" for a reason.

^ Oh man, Carrot Top and Dane Cook in a private jet wreck? That would be doing the world a favor. I know I have some issues.

I think you got that backwards. You wouldn't assasinate him, though you would just straight destroy Dane Cook.

Run DMC is extremely important to America. If we didn't have them, then they couldn't have paved the way for rappers like Soulja Boy. UGH, damn you Run DMC!!

A great Cube reference, great pics, and a 20K shout out? AWESOME TR.

^ Yeah I am not impressed with Steak and Shake. The shakes are great the burgers are just meh. Whitey's is the best after bar food ever. They are technically Slyders, but I've heard them called Belly Bombers a bunch of times.

I'm in, team name The Turkeltones.

When I saw them on the 28th, parking was free. Sorry dude. At least the show was awesome.

I totally agree with Serj, he seems out of his element without SOAD. He could of at least played one SOAD track. I really wasn't feeling the theatrical element he tried to put in the show. The Foo Fighters are the best live band.

I saw The Foo Fighters last Thursday. Against Me and Serj Tankian opened for them. We missed against me, but saw Serj. That guy is just weird. As for the Foo Fighters, they played for 2 freaking hours and put on the best show I have seen. If you get a chance, go see them!

I'm a huge Phillies fan, so I used to love Dutch. Back then I never knew how crazy he was. I've seen the interview where he says the world will end, and he just looks out of his mind now.

At first I thought this whole end of the world in 2012 was crap. But now Darren Daulton predicted too. How can you not believe a former Phillies catcher who played in a couple of All Star games. It has to happen now. http://community.foxsports.com/blogs/GerbilSportsNetwork/2006/02/19/The_End_is_Pretty_Near_Says_Former_Major_League_Catcher

This is looking pretty sweet. That turnaround looks crazy. How long are the trains again? Will the length of the trains give the turnaround a different affect if it is long or short? Or does that even matter?

Holy crap that thing swung violently through some of those transitions. I could definitely see why they had problems with it. Great video!!

That won't happen. That would kill the originality factor and make it just another monster movie, which would suck.

^ Very well put Wes, you got to it before I could. I guess the fact that a monster attacking New York is so believable, that everything else in the movie has to be like in real life. Anyways, I just read that the director is hinting towards a sequel being the same attack, but from a different person's perspectve in New York. This is a rumor though, not confirmed. I think that is a great idea. Maybe they can do it from the military's point, how they attacked it and such.

Someone mentioned Original Journey. Didn't Steve Perry have something wrong with his throat and can't sing anymore? Maybe thats just rumor. Terrance, Joan Jett is touring again. She played a casino here last summer. I didn't see her performance, but it was an outdoor concert and could hear where I was, and she was still good. They need to bring back Ready For the World. They should tour with Earth, Wind, and Fire. Ooh, and Terrence Trent D'arby can open for them. That would be an awesome show. My personal wish is for someone to have an 80's hip hop show. Big Daddy Kane, Eric B and Rakim, Chubb Rock, Heavy D, Public Enemy, Slick Rick And Doug E Fresh, and many more. That would be the best. That was when hip hop was good. It sucks now. Edit-I had to add Slcik Rick and Doug E Fresh... Can't have an 80's hip hop show without The Show being performed... Is Slick Rick still in jail?

I really liked it. The way that it was filmed kept you in suspense the whole time. The camera shaking wasn't nearly as bad as peole said it was. We sat the second to last row and it was perfectly fine. I think I may have to go see it again, just to make sure i didn't miss anything.
