I want to see the documentary... the fact that they all have J names, well this one's not too odd, my wife's family is all K's, and we have friends with kids that all have J names. JUst that they have 16 kids. NOT RIGHT!

too many favs to list all of them, here's a few: Pink Martini They might be giants Hayseed Dixie Great Big Sea ABBA Leon Russel Daft Punk Blue man and a wide range of classical artists Frankly, I love music.

I'm with Robb here. I've been 12 times. And while the show has grown and improved over the years, the past two years have been rather, blah. The industry is in a slump in my opinion, heres hopng this changes. No IAAPA for us this year, we are opting out and instead attending the Transworld halloween show! Oh, and if you are going, don't be a pest, there is nothing more irritating than trying to have a converstion with a vendor and have someone just juimp in with their opinion, or just interupt. it has happened to me more than once. there is a lot to see and alot to learn, and there's a lot of great people watching. I've met some very interesting peole at the show, not by barging in on a conversation, but by just sitting back and being myself. Sometime I'll share my 'box of bolts' story with you.

I drop in once or twice a day to see what's going on!

You know, I don't get the pick-on-the-overweight-people jokes! I am, always have been, not too much I can do about it. So if I hang out at a park, minding my own business, are you going to take a picture of me and poke fun at me??? Sorry, just has to get that off my chest. It's not funny to me.

NICE!!! Even got a shot of our Big SLing in the Video! This has to be one of the nicest fairs, a great mix to be sure.

That was great.... Loved your use of music, and the lines reminded me of Star Wars weekends at MGM this past summer... no joke. You should think about submitting a video to Robb, if you haven't already, your stuff is funny. (For some reason I remeber space mountain being bigger than that)

What will Kenny do now? For those of you who don't know Kenny, he is the ultimate Astroworld fan, and now poof. I better toodle over to RRC, hack, and see, hack-hack, what the buzz is over there...

Look like phpbb is what Robb's using. Thanks. Ed nltmatvusa!

I've noticed several boards that look similar, for example the salute to soda, are you using a template to run this board? Can you explain how you go about setting one up? thanks, Ed nltmatvusa!

I am so very sorry, he was loved and I am sure will be sorely missed. Ed N.T.M.O.T.V.U.S.A.A.M.

1984ish SFMM One summer in food service. Colossus Cones, The restaurant across from the log ride, and selling food from carts, and selling pop at the newly opened water ski show. 1992 to present - Thrill-Ville USA. Started out as Ripper ride op. then moved to GM 94, and this year I've taken over as safety Manager! I worked two summers at enchanted forest too.

Kasey and I had the worst time ever at a theme park this past June at WDW... Not at all the parks mind you, but I have never been so put off by Disney in all my life. I should post a TR I guess, this trip was marred by one disney screw up after another. We went with the mind set that Disney always does it right, not this time. We weren't alone with our views either, every time I set foot in a customer sevice center the lies were filed with upset guests! A few of the fubars - MGM Star Wars Weekend - HOLY HELL, they were not prepared for this mess... Restuarant lines out the door, power outages all over the place, the walkways are too small, parking trams that don't go where we parked, food service was one of the major problems here! Animal Kingdom - Rainy stromy day, and not place to take cover. Kicking people out of a show, in the storm do they can reset the show!?! how is pushing geusts out in to a thunderstorm a good idea? There were many more... (yes we know it rains in Florida, yes we knew it was going to be busy, yes we know... Our experiances went beyond this.) While Disney hasn't gone the way of six flags, it was darn close.

We used our fast passes an hour after the stated times, no worries there. Universal Orlando offers you the option of buying a pass good for both parks in the same day, if you're crushed for time. I'd say not to miss it, just for the few different rides and shows. have you booked a room? if not may I recommend villadirect.com for a condo ir house. Unless you just have to have that DISNEY PARK hotel, this is the way to go. We've done it every time we've gone to Orlando and have never regretted once.

I have met - Patti Lupone - the very first Evita Mandy Patinkin Emogene Coca (I know I have spelled the dear womans name wrong.) Dean Jones James Taylor Bowzer of Sha-na-na Debbie Harry Donna Summer Dale Bozio - missing persons lead singer Thomas Dolby Christopher Cross (passed by in hallway.) The members of Spyro Gyro And a slew of others, you see, I worked for several summers for an aunt and uncle tha had an opera glass rental business (binoculars) in most of the major theaters and concert venues in LA, so we met celebs all the time. They lived next door to David Ogden, Charles Winchester from M*A*S*H, nice guy. Donna Summer came into an ice cream store I was managing in the ventura harbour "Coastal Cone", as she left she turrned and said thank you for not bothering her and her kids, for letting have thier time together, and offered and autograph! I still have it.

Nice TR, I grew up in Ventura and spent man weekends in Santa Barbara! It wsa nice to see that this part of the country is still as nice as I remember it, haven't been "home" in 19 years. Went to DeAnza middle school and graduated from Ventura High in*cough*1978*cough*... Kasey and I are planning a trip to Ventura in July of 06,I can not wait now!

We served them at our wedding reception! I love them, my GOD I love them. Matter of fact we made so just a few months ago for friends. MMMMMMM Hard boiled eggs wrapped in sausage, dipped in more egg bread crumbs, then deep fried!!!!!!! I am off to the store for eggs.

DUDE, how did you get Katamri 2??? Kasey is dying to get her hands on it!

I sat on the Ripper at Thril-lVille USA for 8 hours for a charity fund raiser. I was sore for weeks! I dispached out about everey 3 minutes or so and the ride time is around 90 seconds with chain lift. so that's one ride every 4.5 minutes. about 13 times an hour, or roughly 106 times, gosh it felt like more than that!

I've known Robb for quite some time now. He dropped into Thrill-Ville USA for a visit many moon ago! Sent me a TPR video, and well... Here I am. I get a kick ot of the reviews, the videos, even some of the naughty bits ! I admire some one as busy as he is, and still has the time to bring together enthusiasts fom all over, and is not afriad to have a good time! Ed
