Hey there, I'm heading down to New Jersey the week of July 17th to hit Six Flags Great Adventure and the parks on the Jersey Shore. Wildwood, Atlantic City, Seaside Heights, etc. I'm obviosuly excited about El Toro but I have no idea what they've added to the Jersey shore parks recently, what's new there?

I started off young liking carnival rides/theme parks. Here's me and my little bro Cory at the Big E in Springfield Mass when we were just lil dudes. I'm wearing the "flight time" shirt.

To answer your question, the "situation" is just that... murderous dictator in power, and like I said-Should have been taken out years ago, we should have never went to war over the phony WMDs, no need to lecture me on that, and no need to argue, because I AGREE WITH YOU! Should have taken care of it the first time. The question was... are we ready to go home. Absolutely not. Not - should we have gone in the first place? Yes there are plenty of other dictator sthat need to be removed, but it's taken several decades to even work on Iraq! And like Jeowja said, there's no need to be condescending. I respect your opinion, please do the same with mine. I just can't wait for all of this to be over. I have several good marine buddies over in Iraq and several family members in the USAF at Rammstein AF Base in Germany that feel the same way. We need a break from all this war sh!t. And bro, I don't feel you were that condescending, I understand it's a sensitive topic and the slightest pin prick can draw blood.

1.5 hrs from the orgasmic Intamin: Superman Ride Of Steel. East Coast, of course.

Wow, a lot to take in, in so little time! Funny stuff, great photos, wish I could have made the trip!

Wow! Nice, sharp photos, I especially like the ones from CP. More pics of the repainted Chang! It looks so nice now.

Mine was last Fall and it was U2 and the band institute (Gavin Rossdale's ne wband, not just Bush renamed) Great show! I bought tickets for my girlfriend knowing she loves U2, and I love the band "Bush". I had no idea Institute was Rossdale's new band so I completely lucked out. I even ended up liking the U2 bit... I'm buying tickets for Aerosmith and Motely Crue this Saturday, show's in September, there will be a review.

Let me break it down for ya Spook, I've seen a lot of it. Some people come here and make complete asses out of themselves, and end up getting banned. Since, Robb and Elissa run the site, they're going to be targetted when they find another outlet to distribute their stupidity. They turn to unmoderated forums and places like youtube where they can say whatever they feel like just for the sake of being a dick. Then there's the jealous people that can't figure out why they (The Alveys) get to enjoy so many theme parks, and so much travel to places they themselves will never get to see. Lastly, there's the fat internet kids with nothing better to do than this kind of stuff, and somehow find it to be entertaining. Just think, somewhere in England is a mom not paying attention to her kid's internet use. I don't think that family wants to be represented by such rubbish. Further proof that there is, in fact, no God.

Thanks for the explanation, and by the way, welcome to TPR.

As a former US Marine, I can tell you SOMEONE had to take care of that situation, and unfortunately it had to be the US and the coalition. Many people want to come home from the war, but remember, you did sign up and are expected to fight per your contract. I enlisted (which I ended up regretting) into the Marine reserves after 9-11, and would have gladly stepped on a plane to Afghanistan, I just feel that the new Iraq war, which did fix some problems... is a distraction. We couldn't get Bin Laden's head on a platter so we went for Sadaam. The whole problem is, it should have been done years ago the right way. Sadly, I don't think we're ready to leave Iraq just yet because the military HAS done a lot of good, but has also made a mess that still isn't cleaned up. I'm not looking for an argument, just my two cents.

^ Yes, well said.

I've always wondered... What is the Armageddon attraction like? Great photos, BTW!

I thought of one I DON'T like. You know those really old woodies that stay in an oval shape, like SFNE's Thunderbolt. The creaking of the panels on the cars as it goes through the 180s. Yo...

I just realized something... I can't believe people still use "LOL". I was hoping that would die in the 90's.

YES there is some retarded stuff in this thread but in the end it's a bunch of people talking about a new roller coaster. The length of the thread as of recently is people making fun of the fact that it's so long. THAT is the actual humor. I just wanna see an announcement... not any time soon, just looking forward to when they announce the new coaster. At this point, I'd rather have this topic locked than see people complain about or make fun of it. I actually personally apologized to the Alveys for this thread at SFMM. Oy...

Having actually watched the video and reading the comments... I can't believe how ignorant the situation is. Not neccessarily the plagarism of the video, which is definately a dumb move... but the immature comments. Let those idiots represent themselves as such, but we're better than that here, right? There's a coward on there insulting Robb personally, who obviously has been banned here before, so he doesn't need any more attention. Let's represent TPR maturely... well at least respectively. Before you know it, it will be a virtual Revolutionary War... Just my .02

I hope Disney doesn't read that post, they mutilated Alien Encounter! Seriously though, Dinosaur is VERY dark and has some intense moments where the EMV really gets bumpy. The Carnotaurus that jumps down at you at the end would have made me sh!t myself if I were a kid.

In that lift hill shot of medusa, what is that building to the left of the lift? It actually looks like it could be a hint of theming??

I hope they do get working, I'm looking forward to seeing them.

Anyone else remember "The Goofy Movie?" Lester's Possum Park...

Dorney Park... good B&Ms. If you do a poll for Rhode Island I will shoot myself in the face as we don't have any parks anymore and I don't need to be reminded.

Awesome TR, great photos. All the dead critters reminds me of Jim Carrey's famous line... "This is a lovely room of death!" We actually have a Dave & Buster's here in Providence which is really cool, like the man said, go check it out, they're all over the country.

For Tinflowers... Go ride it tomorrow! You live in Florida you can do that.

I prefer + g's in inversions. I even find some "hang time" to be uncomfortable, like on a "Super Loops" or "Kamikaze" when the drunk carny thinks it's funny to keep you inverted for several minutes. Hang time is cool on most flat rides for a short period of time, IMO, like SFNE's Catapult which slowly dangles you upside down but keeps moving.

Hehehehehe... I had never seen or heard the word 'slag' used until the TPR UK photo updates so that alone amused me... yeah.
