TPR's Ever Evolving Park Index
grinch1313 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm using Safari 5.0.6 and it works perfectly. I tried a few different parks and all of them worked great. I really like this new feature!! -

Great trip report!! I was really pleasantly surprised by Legoland in 2009. It ended up being one of my favorite parks of the West Coast trip. The new additions all look really awesome! -
Dania Beach Hurricane Declares Bankruptcy
grinch1313 replied to digidoc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is very sad. Not completely unexpected, but still very sad. It's solidly in my top 20 coasters. I'm glad that I was able to get there 3 times and take around 30 laps on it. Hopefully it can be reopened or saved. It's a great ride with some nice pops of airtime. It's sad to lose the best wooden coaster in Florida and my closest coaster. -
Best Ride at Universal Orlando?
grinch1313 replied to The Yeti's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Revenge of the Mummy, Rock It and Men In Black are my favorites at the studios. Mummy is one of my favorite rides anywhere. I could ride it all day and never get tired of it. Ripsaw Falls, Spiderman, and Dragons are my favorites at IOA. I liked Forbidden Journey even though I'm not very familiar with anything Harry Potter, but it made me slightly motion sick. I absolutely love Seuss Landing as a whole. -
Mitch Hawker 2010 poll
grinch1313 replied to Skycoastin Steve's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The Voyage was in my top 3. It was beaten only by Phoenix and Boulder Dash. I rode The Voyage in May 2010 and thought it was intense, insane, and amazing. I loved every minute of the two rides I got on it. People are just morons and will find something to complain about even when nothing's wrong. -
I'm addicted to this game. I've been playing with people from work. If anyone wants to play I'm (unsurprisingly) Grinch1313.

I love that website. I was crying because of laughing so hard when I first read it. I've had that happen to me a few times. Once when I was driving to North Carolina, I typed "I'm in Daytona" and it switched it to "I'm I'm Daytime."

Dave & Ice Bat's Thread Of Awesomeness!

^I'm going to jump in here and say that Plunko would definitely like to get into trouble with the others. He'll be coming on the NE trip with me. -
I agree with what you said. I was completely blown away by the Vortex ERT. It's one of the best coaster experiences I've had. Then when we rode BBW I was kind of disappointed. I had wanted to ride the coaster for so long because of the America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills video POV. And what I remember most from that ERT session was KerryB's horror movie scream. It was certainly a fun ride, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what BGW has in store for 2012.

Shane's Amusement Attic
grinch1313 replied to montezooma's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I actually went to Atlantis on a 7th grade field trip in May of 1992. I have that brochure that you posted first too. As far as I know, Atlantis was pretty much destroyed by Hurricane Andrew which also destroyed much of the surrounding area in August of 1992. The owners never rebuilt. I'm not quite sure why, because it seemed really popular when I was there. It was a great water park. We spent the entire day there. Our group of around sixty 12 and 13 year olds really enjoyed it. It's really sad that it wasn't rebuilt. -
Most disturbing movie you've ever seen?

^I saw it by myself on a recommendation from a friend. I agree that it's probably not something you would want to watch with other people. -
Most disturbing movie you've ever seen?
grinch1313 replied to Sasquatch's topic in Random, Random, Random
^Happiness is an incredible film. Very hilarious, very disturbing, very dark, and many cringe-inducing moments. It's also one of the greatest films I've seen. I highly recommend it to fans of black comedy and to those who are not easily offended. I'm proud to have it in my DVD collection. -
The Best Woodie under 75 feet Tall
grinch1313 replied to MagnumForce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If it counts, then The Phoenix because that's my favorite coaster. If not, then Jack Rabbit at Kennywood, Tornado at Stricker's Grove, and Rollo Coaster at Idlewild. -

That looks really fun and awesome. A great way to spend a night at Disney. I might have to check it out next time I'm there with the family. Also, it's incredible that Monsters, Inc was the movie that night!!! Pixar!! -
I love Count Chocula. That was my favorite cereal for a number of years. I'll definitely have to pick some up for Halloween.
