Hyper coasters Vs. Wooden
Jose Eber replied to spike's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My worst coaster experiences have been on wooden coasters. Ghostrider I think at Knotts? Coney Island Cyclone was bad. I've ridden Desperado at Buffallo Bills (nasty) and it still doesn't compare to the mind rattling torture of the aforementioned rides. -
Waterparks, anyone?
Jose Eber replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
One of the great perks of my job is that it gives me an inordinate amount of free time. Most of my free time during perfect days (which there seem to be a lot of in central florida, which surprised me coming from Southern California) is going to Disney parks. And if its just a little too warm, it will be at Blizzard Beach. Perhaps because its older, I'm not as much a fan of Typhoon Lagoon (its also further away). Regardless, I'm grateful that the parks will be more balanced this March. The new attraction (see my avatar, 2 week old pic) Slush Gusher looks to be fun. I can't wait to take advantage of it in the dead times. Waterparks are awesome, (except maybe suffering through having to look at middle aged overweight English tourist men in speedos). Jose Eber. -

Beverly is an acquired taste, much like Marmite. -

I used to be on thrillnetwork -- and you'd post your stuff over there w. no limits, that was cool. -

Geez. Someone spent time on this. (frustrated because he's on a mac w/o a decent 3ds program OR smoother program). -

Battle of the Manufacturers
Jose Eber replied to vertgforces's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I guess I'm the lone person at this point voting for Vekoma. Innovation: Boomerang style and 'flying dutchmen' style and tilt coaster. My fav. rides are Vekoma. 'If you ain't dutch, you ain't much' -

This is pleasant ride. Wish I had some smoothing tools [on a mac ] -
This needs some work. Banks for starters need to be, well, banked in the correct direction.

Getting stuck on a ride!
Jose Eber replied to disneygurlz2s's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
To the pics people: Ted and GAcoaster -- those rock. I've been stuck on Splash and had to leave (Disneyland). And I've seen the lights on at Space from TTA (doesn't really count). -
I'm curious about what folks think of the new gates operating at the MK Monorail station in WDW. I saw them in operation today -- they aren't anything special, just low height chain-link style gates unpainted (looks a little nicer than it sounds). I was hoping for some classy plexi glass full height automated stuff. Also -- I'm interested in what folks think of the automated ticketing system at TTC and MK Main Gate. Personally, I think its a great idea -- having used one I think for a water park. I think a POS automated ticket system is clever. However, I went through it a bit and its very confusing -- plus you had to have a person on hand to explain it to everyone. Which I think is embarrassing. The new ticketing system doesn't help -- meh.

As soon as I hear someone saying they are an 'expert' I roll my eyes and yawn because someone is missing the big picture. I visited all those places as a kid (thanks to my parents). Disney trips won hands down. You know a company is going in the shi**er when if fails to capitalize on its own unique market it created. Was on the monorail today...being on those express trains from the parking lot to MK gives you a rare picture of BOTH parents and kids excited to go somewhere...it is magical.

I'm wearing a pair of glasses. :shock:

My name is Jose Eber but am not a professional hair stylist. I moved to Celebration because I like Architecture and Disney World. I used to live in South Cal (where I heard of TPR) and used to be a Premium Annual Passholder for Disneyland (every since I moved there).

You can buy Bride and Groom hats at Disney World in the parks. There are several models to choose from for the Bride.

What is your local park?

Disney World -- one stop light away
