^ Sometimes I can't decide if a ride is fun or not because I am too busy deciding whether or not this giant steel or wood structure is indeed made of steel or wood. "El Toro was soooo fun, but GOSH! Was that actually wood? nahhhh, couldn't be. But it looks so wood like! I dunno, there are some steel bolts up in there! My brain is about to explode!" Come on guys, get over it. (agreeing with Chuck)

Cruising with Theme Park Review - Feb 2011
WFChris replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I agree that dressing up adds to the ambiance in the dining room for everyone, and its fun. I would imagine the one or two people in there not abiding by the dress code are either quite selfish or too hung over to notice! -
Robb Alvey's Facebook Account

I tried to go through 'that other site' but the constant barrage of ADS totally turned me off. Thanks again, Robb for creating the ONLY coaster site I visit in a daily basis. -
^ Call the hotel the day after you book with Priceline, Hotwire, Expedia, etc. Tell them to 'add a note' to your reservation saying that you MUST have 2 double beds. Call back in a day or two to confirm this information. If it is not there, ask to speak to a manager and request it again. Explain that you CANNOT have 1 bed. Hotels typically are a little more hot-headed when it comes to booking websites. They tend to give those reservations the least appreciated rooms on the property, and they use the 'well you booked elsewhere' excuse. Trust me, if you call them and explain that you NEED TWO BEDS, and call AGAIN, and even a third time approaching the visit, you will probably get your two beds. Just keep your cool and stay persistent. But yeah, if you are an ass, or rude, all bets are off. Just be professional, cool, and persistent.

I have made my irresponsible drunk post or two, but I have never been BANNED. TPR is really the only theme park/roller coaster forum/site that I EVER visit. It's the bees knees. -
^You can take a Fly Away shuttle to LA Union Station, then the Metrolink train up to the park, then a bus or taxi It will take you hours in both directions but hey, if you need more time.... http://www.lawa.org/flyaway/ http://www.metro.net http://www.santaclaritatransit.com/ v Thanks for the metroLINK site, EBL

Jin Jiang Action Park to install GIB
WFChris replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is great news! I think JIB's are great coaster 'experiences.' A lot happens in a short period of time and it is intense! I am all for Vekoma perfecting this ride design as I really do enjoy it. -
That was precisely what I came to write. If there's beer at SFMM, I can be my own ZacSpin, lines be damned! I don't want to believe him because a) Nothing was too serious in the update b) The 'beer' photo mentioned Mooseburger Lodge, and the picture was not at Mooseburger Lodge c) Beer would be too easy of a way for SFMM to make money d) Beer would perpetuate SFMM's already rowdy reputation. Then again, Knotts sells beer, they just don't make a big deal out of it. I am pretty sure most park guests don't even notice the beer place!

Super Fun Boomers Photo TR!

Daddy Daughter Date Night at Chick-Fil-A is kinda weird. I know they are in the middle of protecting their 'family values' (http://www.dailytexanonline.com/content/students-protest-chick-fil-sponsorship) or whatever, but I think this is a little too far! Great little spontaneous PTR!
