  1. I have never understood the pricing at most theme parks! I know the price and profit margin, and there is no need for this, none what so ever. It's not just Six Flags either, but most of your major theme parks.
  2. [quote="J The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra YES, this film sucked so very badly. We couldn't could we watched the whole thing. And to this day we still quote from the film. "grrrower"! trust me if you are up to watching total crap, worse than Blair Twitch, this is your film... Also enjoy - Truman Show Catwoman Barron VonMunchausen Time bandits 13 Monkeys Any and all Godzilla monster movies. Journey to the center of the earth Saving grace and so many more.
  3. Coke! ha, take a good long look at Mountain Dew. Dew has Brominated Vegetable Oil as an ingredient, BVO keeps flavor oils in suspension and gives a cloudy appearance to citrus-flavored soft drinks. Eating BVO leaves small residues in body fat; it is unclear whether those residues pose any risk. Fortunately, BVO is not widely used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brominated_vegetable_oil I stopped drinking it after I saw this information on a science channel program. It doesn't surprise me that coke would have this effect on you.
  4. I hope this isn't a repost, I did several searches before I posted. Any way, I give you FLYGUY.... http://www.trevorvanmeter.com/flyguy/ enjoy
  5. Just voted for you, three times... Good luck to you!
  6. I saw this posted on Screamscape earlier today. If you look close you'll one of our favorite Imagineers Ric Turner video taping the moblie lab! Must have had something to do with the attraction. I was impressed with Lucky, but this thing takes it to the next level.
  7. I have been a long time supporter of GKTW, it is truly amazing and a top notch operation to be sure. I took a tour of the facilities some time ago, now the place is a full blown resort. I didn't take the time to read Kevin's article, I will, but one thin that really struck me was how GKTW took care of the family, not just the sick child, but everyone visitng, and this is important. I encourage you, take a look into GKTW, and if you find it your heart to support their efforts, good for you. Oh, and if you every go to IAAPA and they are offering tours to the site, do it, it will change you for ever, it did me!

  9. found this cool waterfall thingy on youtube @ 4 AM. I'm going is for a root canal in 3 hours, I can't wait, the pain is BAD!
  10. Well, well, well... Right now outside our place it's 18 degrees! It was 34 today. We are looking at the chance of freezing rian or snow showers Tuesday morning. I hate this weather. Then I see where it was freeking cold back in SoCal. You know I don't remember Ventura getting that cold ever. Looks like we might get back to some normal weather soon. Look at Tuesday! Down right tropical!
  11. I'd really like the hand book! PM me and I'll send you my address. Ed YES PLEASE!!
  12. My wife went to TJ Max and didn't buy anything!
  13. From IMDB... Transformers (2007) (post-production) The Island (2005) - blech. The Lionel Richie Collection (2003) (V) (video "Do It to Me") Bad Boys II (2003) - okay action film. Pearl Harbor (2001) - Longish, but okay. Armageddon (1998) - I liked it... The Rock (1996) - Good action! Bad Boys (1995) - enjoyable. So as for Transformers, it looks okay. You can't tell by trailers any more.
  14. I'm getting shirts made for myself... "Fat, Hairy, but strangely alluring!"
  15. Great report, thanks for posting. Out of curiosity, how tall are you? (wanting know sowhen I go I'm not bashing my head into doors!)
  16. Your park is fantastic, wow. I have so many questions, I just got RCT3 from my wife as a pre-Christmas gift. (I've wanted this for ages, but feared my computer wouldn't let me play. It does, slowly.) Is there some place on the net I can go to learn more about te game? how to build rides inside buildings, and such? Thanks, Ed Who last play an RCT game back when RCT first came out!
  17. Cell phones should not be permitted, period. We don't allow them. If you are caught on the phone you get to go to work for burger king! One of the most common prolems for parks are employees become too comfortable with the ride they are running, and this creates some serious problems. We rotate employees if at all possible so they are not stuck in the same location for hours on end. Also and I hate to say his but the buck stops with management! If it's a large park then it stops with the ride supervisors! they need to keep things fresh and fun! And stick to strick safety polices, and stop being so damn lax. Some of the pictures I have seen posted here make me sick.
  18. Well... The wind is gone, for now. We got power back at home around 4:00AM. There are trees down all over the place, over 100,000 people still with out power, roads closed, and amtrack has canceled service to Seattle due to flooding and mudslides! I am about to venture to Portland to take kids home for the holidays... I am not looking forward to this trip. ODOT has a great web site, tripcheck.com, you can see all the state traffic cams. As for the men stuck on Mt. Hood, our prayers are with them and their families. There was just a live breifing, there is still hope these men are alive, but once again the weather is not cooperating. Snow levels have dropped to 1,000 feet today. The forcast for tomorrow is fiar so here's hoping they catch a break.
  19. I have been trying for sometime now to find this piece of sh*t to shut him/her down! talk about breaking the law and making fun of kids that really need our help. I HATE THIS SITE!

  21. The national weather center has posted High wind warnings until 4am! outside my office the winds are gusting, We've lost power at home according Kasey. (great no sleep for me tonight! I use a c-pap to sleep, no power = no sleep for Ed!) We've had four trees fall on campus tonight and power through downtown is out. the last report I heard said 199,000 people are without power in the valley! Can't wait to get off work and drive home tonight! Oh and I get to ride a bus tomorrow to take kids home for the Christmas break, should be interesting. Oh and the Oregon coast is getting hammered with winds up to 100mph right now! Pray we don't blow away...
  22. My deepest sympathy go out to you and your wife. Kasey and I lost our only child to a mis carrage at 6 months, I still hurt to this day and this was almost 7 years ago. Our prayers are with you. Ed Roberts
  23. Well I may be wrong, here's the listing and while the rides listed price makes it affordable for any one to buy. taking the ride down, moving it then setting itup again are another story. The broker is Intermark and they are a real player in the industry. So S:TE might indeed be for sale! hmmmmm matbe we canget it for our park! We'll just have to wait and see. Details Price: $ 125,000.00 USD Listing Began: Dec 1-23:50 Hight 415 ft This equipment is Used Manufacturer of equipment Intamin Size/footprint 1315 ft long Equipment condition Good Contact Listing ID: 1478 Seller: intermark City: Nashville Zip Code: 37215 Country: United States Phone: (615) 370-9625 Fax: (615) 370-8852
  24. This ad is such bull. the price for this ride is way off, look SF is seling their old first gen freefalls for more than this is listed for. Most big ride like S:TE are sold through a major broker like ITAL int. Me smells a hoax.
