The BEST bumper cars are the ones with the center tires to weave in and around all while going in the same direction. Why? Less chaos. you can actually get alot of speed and t-bone people diving through the tires. Plus with the right amount of people, only going in one direction provides a "race like" feel to it. So on top of feeling like you are racing, you get to plow into people. Perfect example are the ones at Indiana Beach with 3 tires which you can cut through as long as you keep going in same direction. Theres so much strategy. So much more fun than the chaotic messes of normal free for all cars.

lol Fact in your world, not fact in mine. Remember, opinions are not facts. However, theres still a huge list of rides Id rather ride. Probably a dozen or so at least. Most of them wooden coasters.

LMAO Isnt that the truth. Sometimes it feels longer. Its like black tar.

Well, Ill say that in the last 2 years, having been to CP countless times, I have not seen a line last longer than 1 hour give or take 15 minutes and NOT counting break downs. A full queue is 55 minutes without breakdowns, which I have timed on more than one occasion. It is a serious people eating machine and definatly moves more people than MF. MF just is so slow these days. Crew never seems to work as fast as they could because of the seat belt deal. I prefer lots of other rides to Dragster but when its under 40 minutes I take a spin on the front seat.

Actually, if you really are a geek, you purchase the monthly plans from a satellite company and stitch your own together. Some of the resolutions from that program were abysmal at best!

The coasters are anywhere from 4 to 12 depending on size and res.

See Im having to choose between the 2 right now. On one hand, my last trip was to Holiday World and Ive heard the only competition for Raven is Boulder Dash, so I really want to ride that. However my family opts for the "larger" places. However, Weve gone to larger places and been disappointed with crappier rides. I doubt I could be disappointed by SROS however, thats all Id be interested in. BDK looks like a fun ride but thats about it. Everything else isnt a must. Boulder Dash though, I dont know if I could drive in that area and not ride it. It would feel like such a waste. That and my family needs to get on a GOOD wooden coaster. They havent yet quite experienced the goodness of those CCI's.

The army soldiers were a cute idea Elissa

Is that thing street legal? I assume it is, but I do know they race a model similar to that in the long endurance races. Speaking of dream cars... Oh...Yea...

If someone died on your multi billion dollar property thats income depends on the popularity of the place would you be in much of hurry to annouce someone died there? Really though, people die all the time. I dont think a death or two on property will tarnish the allure of DISNEYWORLD or the Disney name. Its just not going to happen. It will take much, much more than that.

How can you NOT enjoy seeing things blow up?! Dry Ice + Soda = Fun http://www.real-coasters.com/dl/bottlefun.wmv

Picture of the moon I took in the lower sky the other night. pretty... Dont worry, the cat was not harmed. It begged and begged to go out...so...I threw her out

Nothing else needs to be said. Concerning Disney, my girlfriend who was an advanced intern said that Disney does everything they can to avoid people dieing on property and even as far as doing everything in their power to avoid having to pronounce someone dead on site.

I love you Brits and your "chav". I still havent had someone explain what kinds of people they are (except for earlier) and seems like its a given that no one likes these kids?! Makes it seem like Robb needs to wield a weapon to make it around the park.

Ive got 2 cats and I dont think this family would be the same without them. I know for a fact too when they pass on, this family will be devestated.

The game wasnt modded. It was revealed. Pretty much from what I gathered was there was basically a "switch" in the code that you turn on or off, that simple. The code was left in the game but in the off position with NO WAY to turn it on from the game. It had to be done in the code. Obviously some lame hacker got in there and somehow, either looking for it or stumbling on it, found it. So its not a mod. A mod is changing the existing games skin and gameplay - this was built in, just not meant to be discovered. Frankly I dont care for the game. Its too far over the edge for my standards and Id rather go play Forza Motorspot or Halo 2 than to run around mindlessly capping people in the head, picking up hookers and having drive bys. So I think it serves Rockstar right for not taking it out. If they did that, we wouldnt even be having this conversation.

I almost threw you in there Elissa....just wasnt sure if the comedic value would be the same but after watching it, I definatly could see you as the crazy one. That would be humorous. Ill save that for someone else to create.

Wedding Crashers! Go wild with this...I know you will.

HMMMMM... Looks like I may be making a trip to muh grandmas for the weekend...heh.

I think most parks require you to have one original leg. Two fake ones wouldnt cut it since you need control of at least one of them. Its sad but thats what happens with tragic things like that. Im not sure how she dives unless she does a hand stand because it could be difficult to "dive" without having legs to bounce on. She could fall in. I do feel bad for her but safety is safety and considering most rides need your legs as the main route of safety, well thats just a given.

You crack me up. You make it seem as if Cedar Point is destitute if it doesnt get a coaster. We've got 16 of em and frankly there isnt really another style that would interest me unless they burned Mean Streak to the ground and replaced with a Gravity Group. Sadly, that wont happen.

Those orbs are created a number of ways. Theres soooo many small things like dust, small openings in lens and such that can be created in a photograph. People just look for ways to create something though Its human nature. Nice report Elissa. I would do that but seeing as though being inside the UPS building they probably dont want me taking pictures of everything. They do tours, but I bet they wouldnt appriciate it too much. That and being a supervisor there means non-stop chaos from start till finish.

Ha! Rock on. Yea, not sure why all the attitude was needed. Ive got a new tag line when people "move to their group" that usually turns some heads. As they walk by just ask "Hey! Can I join you?!" Normally gets them a little jumpy especially when said with thick sarcasm and the crowd usually gets a chuckle as well. Picked this up from another bold coaster rider of whom I dont know the name, just heard him do it and found it rather original and humorous.

Someone refresh me on the story of the girl who hits the camera in line? I definatly know if someone hits my equipment like that they wont be riding that ride anytime soon.

I got Its a small world. Time for me to shoot myself, or take it again. Thats just wrong.

Now I gotta go make thumbnails! I dont post low quality garbage....oh well. Do what I gotta do.
