Last one...

Stupid Firewall at work caused it...

Make it go away!!!

Padme the attack kitten Anakin her brother Draco And a few more of my Pugs before bedtime

Ahhh The Sea Serpent...where I popped my coaster cherry..LOL. Yes going backwards up that lift hill is a bit odd...if you think the middle is bad, try back row. You basically are sitting forward in the restraint. With as many problems as that ride has had over the years, that is scarier than the drops. Best thing to do, brace yourself in the car. Backwards is 10x better though. A classic coaster that I am surprised is still standing after all these years considering all the problems it has had with "accidents" Great White is an awesome wooden. Good air time. Nice drops. Good view of the beach. Its one of my all time fav wooden coasters. Looking forward to getting on this one again. NorEaster I agree is short. But then again, it also is in a small space. Fun ride. Was also my first inverted. I rode it opening day. I also rode it the day after they re-opened it after it took a workers head off. Kinda Creepy. The ride got 10x better after they added the pads to the head area to prevent headbanging. Rollies Coasters is OK. DooWopper Sucks. Flitzer used to be great, but is showing its age, hence all the braking. In all my years of going to the boards, I have never seen more than 3 slides open at the Giant Slide. Always a fun ride though. The log flume though has always been great. Hopefully it stays around for a good long time. Nice report.

Thanks guys...I knew you all would come through...Of course now that I have coaster shots on my work desktop, people at work are asking all kinds of dumb questions. I am the resident "Theme Park and Disney" expert in the office, so its only fitting that I finally have something themepark related on wallpaper. Thanks again!!

I am looking for some pictures that I can use for desktop wallpaper. I tried looking at what was on this site, but when I set them as a background, they look horrible. I also have my setting at 1280x1024. Does anyone have anywhere I can get any good pics? I am trying to get myself in the mood for my trip in Sept.

I will agree that watching the reruns of Survivor it WAS the best of them all. The games seemed more innovative, the people more cutthroat, and it was just so much better. In later games...it was all about alliances from the minute they stepped foot on their camps. One thing I noticed too, Jeff doesnt seem to take as much interest in the castaways as he did with the first crew. With Amazing Race, Hopefully there is no annoying team that you hope gets run over by a bus or something, like Tara and Will, or Zach and Flo. They just really drove me up a wall

I would love to go...I live only 20 mins from Cypress Gardens, and still have yet to go. But sadly I have to work. Post pics and a full report

I was talking to Robb about this and he said it isnt worth breaking his contract with Activision. He has a pretty sweet deal with them right now, plus he isnt into sports games. Its just not worth it right now for him to do it. So it looks like for now, the Alveys are staying in CA.

so how is the latest offering from Microsoft?

I know Robb and I were discussing this before in chat one night while he was oversees. Hopefully Central FL can lure in more big name game makers. The market is here, there people are here.

My work office doesnt have any friggin windows.. It sucks...just cubes.. Damn Cube farms

That damn game drove me nuts...no pun intended.. I couldnt get first on the Jungle Cruise one for some reason. I used to get so pissed at the game. That game was famous for "cheating". I still love it though.

I cant believe this place still exists...I used to drive by this place all the time when going to the mall...I went once for a school field trip as a kid. This was before I knew what "coaster credit" was.

Oh hell 2 credits...I am so there...I cant believe I grew up in NJ and have never been to Dutch Wonderland.. Of course I did go to a place called Storybook Land in NJ...I dont even know if it exists anymore. It had a kiddie coaster though!!

I am going to rather close to Dutch Wonderland in September..I was thinking of skipping it because I didnt think there was anything worthwhile there. Now I see there is both a credit, and the LADY GAY!!! AWESOME VIDEO!! Maybe I will take a look..I have some time to kill on a Sunday on my way back home to Wildwood, maybe I will stop at Dutch Wonderland instead of Great Adventure like I had originally planned..

I used to get pissed about having to go about having to pluck weeds...if I wanted to pick weeds, I would go into my front yard, not play a video game. I need to start playing again...maybe I will put the game in again

Here is my work desktop. The background is Dumbledore from the new movie HP: Goblet of Fire. I tend to change it pretty often. Icons pretty minimal. Otherwise not much else going on.

Not unless you count 5 pugs as teddy bears... Here is a pic of just a few of what I sleep with..LOL..

Hey at least you got a free hot tub...] and yes it does get cold in FL...just not for all that long

I love the random trip reports. I hope they never stop...

I found this site while "googling" and ended up on Westcoaster. The when they opened up the forums I signed up. I only recently started posting more....

Ok I cant think of anything...So if you can manage the time, I would love an Elissa Custom title.

Were there a lot of people just "hanging out" in front of Disneyland like you were? There seemed to be a lot of people on the trains. Was it a dedicated Disney train, or does it make other stops? Just curious. I know I get nosy about things close to opening but it seemed like a lot of people were just "hanging out"
