GMAN962

We weren't able to make it to the party, but we had a sort of "party" of our own, the night before. Okay, onto the photos! Note: the faces with the yellow smiles were because they didn't want to be on the internet. Thus, they are censored. Part I: The Party What did we do? We played the drums, played computer games, Played the Wii and Xbox 360 And.... Guitar Hero! We ended up going to bed pretty late...and we had to get up at 5:30 in the morning...that's not a good thing. Part II: West Coast Bash! Yeah...we left pretty early! It was almost like night when we left! Nobody was on the road, too! (Yes, that's a good thing) Then we get to SFMM. (No pictures of registration) We rode Tatsu two or three times, first. Then we rode Viper...(No pictures) Then, I FINALLY got to ride X! Overall, I loved the ride. The only real problem with the ride, IMO is that it slams your head into the back of the seat over and over. I rode four or five times. Not sure exactly, but I got a few rides on each side. It's now one of my favorites! I saw Mike there, but he left right when I went to the side that he was on. Group Photo at X! I'm the guy in the white TPR shirt, all the way to the left. My brother is the one in the TPR hoodie. A lot of you probably saw us a lot throughout the park. Then we rode Tatsu a few more times, and ran over to Riddler. Ninja's looking great! We went over to ride it later in the day...but it wasn't open, so we sadly did not ride. Thrill shot was actually running today! GO GO GO GO GO!!!! GET TO RIDDLER! We rode Riddler's first train of the day. still that great ride that it's always been! I got my first front row ride on that ride, too! I...AM...BATMAN! Psyclone's trains are going to have an autopsy...it may lead to the cause of death for Psyclone! M&M vending machines! Then we rode Sparta! I mean Goliath... Goliath was stopped on the lift when we came...Ryan and Jahan were somewhere in front of us in line. The next train...unlike us...we had about a 3 train wait...I think. OMG GEEKY COASTER SHOT! (Like the rest of them...) We rode what? SUPERMAN! *Insert launch sounds here* "Are you okay in there?" "OMG...look at me; the super cool Sky Tower, you're not allowed to ride me!" Okay SFMM, see you next time! (We're waiting to get picked up...) All on all, I had a GREAT time. I hope we can go again next year. Next time, we'll have to travel with Robb, and the group! A giant thanks to Robb, Elissa, Chris, and anybody else who participated in the event! You guys are awesome. Hopefully see you guys again sometime! Thanks for reading! -Mike

^I rode Batman at....I'd guess 10 after 12, and I didn't see you! I was looking all over for you so I could pick up that lift chain! Mike disappearing for X wasn't a help for getting it either! -Mike "Just Kidding!, but I still didn't see you!" J

^I saw you over at X in the morning. You were headbanging to the techno! I saw Jahan wwalking out of X with someone. Probably Ryan, saw Robb walking in to the registration area, saw Ryan and the gang at Tatsu, and I saw Ryan and Jahan at Goliath, but they were ahead of us in line. Overall, I had a GREAT time! A GIANT thanks to both Chris and Robb, for putting this event together. It had a great turn out for us, and I'm pretty sure it had a great turn out for most of the other people. -Mike P.S.: Expect a TR soon.

Yeah...so if you haven'be sure to e-mail events@rideworld.com I think that's it, and say who and how many people are in your party, and be there on time! -Mike "Seeya There!" Johnson

^All you have to do is show up with a processed 2007 season pass, and check in by 8. You had to send an RSVP that you were going to the event to events@rideworld.com, I think. If you are going to the post-bash party at Robb and Elissa's, then you had to RSVP for that. Seeya there! -Mike

I'll see you at Batman.....and pick up that lift chain! Believe me, I'll say hi to ya! -Mike

^At least it's theming! Anything would be better than the theming it has now. It makes almost no sense, to tell you the truth. And it wouldn't look like RRv,, Arrow tracks look totally different. I was just throwing colors around... -Mike

If all of the manufacturers are over seas, and the park just ordered them from them, and didn't make, them themselves, why would they sue the park companies? I mean, think about it. They just ordered them, it's not like they built them, or tried to release them as a product that they built themselves. -Mike

^That's really not too bad...a name change would be easy! "Project X." It would be cool if they did change it...they'd also paint it like...black and green. I don't know, but it would be pretty cool. I'd have to agree that an overhaul when it comes to theming would be good for X. -Mike

Ah, I don't blame you...I hear she was very early, anyway. Better to play it safe. I'd rather not see her, if it means taking any risks. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying your first few days of parenting! -Mike

Those new photos are so awesome! However, is it really that safe to expose Kidtums to YetiBall? I mean...after all, YetiBall is Lou's lover...and you know how YetiBall can be! That's so awesome. I'm glad everything is still rolling along smoothly. I look forward to seeing you, and maybe Elissa and probably not, but still possibly KidTums at bash. Do you know if Elissa and/or KidTums will be at the registration? Probably not...huh? -Mike

^You're right about all of that, but they don't go in deph. I think people don't count it as themed because they aren't Disney caliber theming. Also, There are some areas that have horrible theming! I.E: Colossus county fair, Psyclone bay, etc, etc, etc. There isn't any theming over by X, Viper, and Revolution. -Mike

^Plus, if you have a season pass, they're able to take it away, with no refunds. As Robb, Elissa, and most other people say; ask permission. -Mike "Good thing you added the 'IF'!" Johnson

My school is ripping out a lot of trees in this one place. I love the trees! They provide shade, oxygen, etc! Now it looks like SFMM at that place!

^Yeah, we did them same thing when we went in December, too! We were cheering whenever people would come up, so we could continue our back seat marathon! I didn't think it was bad, to tell you the truth. Then again, it was a freezing day...ride ops weren't too friendly there, either. -Mike

^Psh, close enough. -Mike

So THAT'S how babies are made... -Mike

Wait a second...(sorry if I'm posting in this thread too much.) Didn't Robb say there was going to be a POV of the birth? Again...CONGRATZZZZZZ -Mike

Here is is. Yep...it's my desktop. I took the picture.

When I was young, I used to just mess around in that game. Basically, search blindly for whatever you're supposed to look for in the game! You've just inspired me...maybe I should try it again, now that I'm older. -Mike

Great photos! I actually was just watching a show about WDW, it was talking about IllumiNations on there. It was explaining the globe, fireworks, etc. Very interesting, and it seems like it'd be the best fireworks around. I thought DisneyLand's was impressive, even though I could barley watch it cause I was too busy searching for friends in the madness of it in a race to regroup, and meet up at the end of main street with people by 10. That was intense, like the fireworks. We ended up basing in a store in Frontier Town, and calling them, and telling them to get to the store, from there, we'd go to mainstreet. I'm getting off topic, but yeah. It looks really impressive. Like I said in the Animal Kingdom thread, I really need to get to WDW...it seems like such a high quality park. -Mike

I didn't see it, but someone from facepunchstudios.com's forums did. He took pictures of the whole eclipse. It looks really neat! Here it is: http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=290820 -Mike

No...I win. I as of RIGHT NOW submit the name Kristen Taylor Alvey! Now Send me my bag... I'm Kidding! Seeya at bash! EDIT: Also, I think Barry owes us all $5, because he did say "$5 say it's Intamin Alvey" -Mike

Today? But Kristen was just born! Then again, maybe she probably IS in an incubator... Oh well, anyway...as I was going to say... HOLY HURRICANES BATMAN! THAT'S INSANE!!!! I can't wait to see it in person in exactly ONE week! -Mike

Elissa (Or Robb), correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think she'll be able to get on the nearest Intamin and Marathon for 4 hours straight (or get on ANY coasters, for that matter) for I'd guess 2 or 3 weeks. Anywho, just a few more things. 1. This thread is growing faster than the Cedar Point Project 2007 Thread did. 2. Those pictures are awesome! I'm glad she's doing great, and she looks great, too! 3. Does this mean that now Barry can't post in any thread involving Kristen? EDIT: New forum title is awesome! -Mike
