Chris, How did LucasArts come up with the name for its' new game? Ed Roberts Safety Coordinator Thrill-Ville USA

^^YEAH, more useless fun on the internet!

Over the years there have been a couple of inncedents where flight staff have pulled some bone headed stunts. I am not a liberty to discuss. Over all, the skycoaster is the safest ride there is, it's not the GP that gets hurt, it's staff screwing off. Staff on any ride get bored and might look for 'NEW' ways to ride, and then they get hurt. I could go on for hours about park safety sorry, it's what I do during the summer.

^The only other thing he might be doing is adjusting the cover for the carabeners. However all that should have been taken care of prior to lifting him up to the launch position. Screwing around on a skycoaster just makes my hair stand on end, too many people have ben seriously hurt screwing off on a skycoaster! (We have the number 3 skycoster in our park nad one of the few portables ever made.)

Great thread.. I'll add a few of my favs.

How did ANY of you land one of these systems? My kids at work raised the funds for a system and four games, but do you tink I can find one in Salem Oregon? hells no! Any tips or tricks I might use to snag a Wii?

Is it just me or does there seem to be fewer people in attedance this year? Mark, you would know, is the show less attended? We need more shots of the Zamprella booth, I want to know more about the new portable river ride!

Looking forward to Fridays update, haven't been to IAAPA in a few years, miss it tons! This year I am off to the transworld Halloween convention, Feb in Chicago, should be... cold!

Let me chime in here! ! I am so happy for you both. IKEA makes a great baby bath, we bought one just recently for a co-worker. This is so great. Can't wait to tell Kasey.

^five or six games all online or downloaded. How many bathrooms in your house? (oh, some one ask how many pinbacks do you have so I can answer that one, oh, heck here... 47,000 and counting)

We both dig the new BSG. have bought the DVD sets for both the first and second season (even though the split the second seson into two boxed sets!) It's nice to see a show that takes a few risks,and thi one does just that, take the opening shots from season 3... whoa! If you're not a BSG fan, but like good sci-fi this is for you.

In all honesty renting a house is the only way I would visit orlando. Looks like a nice enough place, what rental company did you use? And what resort is it your at. (sorry just nosey I guess!)

Oh heck,I freaked out when I got up to load dor Dudley Do right at IOA, I chickened out! me! SIGH!

I do this... http://www.nightmarefactory.homestead.com 18th year now. Maybe I can get some pictures up once we open in two weeks!

fantastic TR! If you go back to the park with Slope Car, take some video of this thing! I'd love to see it in operation. Thanks for the TR again!

The Octopus at Thrill-Ville is by far one of the most out of control flats out there. This and any temest ride, out of control!

McCammon's "A Boys Life" is by far one of my favorite books of all times. The Stand is great, So's The Shining. Clive Barkers Weave World is good fun, twisted but good.

found it on dogpile.com

I found a used copy at warehouse records a while back

Where did you find this picture! I've never soon this ride before.

HEY! Satin's Village is up for sale and the Typhoon Coaster is one of the rides they're selling! Maybe I should get the owners of Thrill-Ville USA to buy this instead of Thriller?!!?

I am cooking lunch for 1300 people at the park this Saturday! No woories we do it all the time... Ed

^ We are looking for portability as well as a good ride. A boomerang offers neither. As far as the Bullet, I am looking into it. Not sure if is portable? I want to thank you all for taking the time to respond. Ed Roberts Thrill-Ville USA

Glad to hear this! We need companies like this around to help keep things fresh and exciting. Look forward to many years of S&S. that and where would we get parts for our Froghopper? Ed

Greetings TPR, I am the safety coordinator from Thrill-Ville USA, a small family owned amusement park just outside Salem Oregon. I am seeking your input and opinions about “Zonga”, “Taz Texas Tornado”, “Thriller”. What are your thoughts and impressions of this ride? • What did you think of the ride? • What did you hear the general public say about the ride? • Those of you that may have ridden it has Thriller, did the shoulder harnesses give you any grief? • Was the ride experience okay? • Has anyone here ridden the ride in all three of its’ incarnations? I’d be curious to hear what you have to say. Thank you for your input, Ed Roberts Thrill-Ville USA http://www.thrillvilleusa.homestead.com
