Surprised noone has said it. The Beast. There's already been a book written about it

I've got a couple questions about Dollywood and Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg too. Didn't really see the point of making a new thread since there's one floating around Is the park very busy during the weekdays in mid-July? Is there enough to keep a 7, 10 and 13 year-old entertained for a two-day visit? The youngest hates anything to do with coasters she cried on the Beastie at King's Island. I'm trying to get the 13 year-old to ride the bigger coasters, the biggest he's ridden is The Beast at King's Island and Apollo's Chariot at BGE. Any advice on good hotels in the area that are not too overpriced? Is there anything else in the area that is a must do?

Great pictures! I can't wait until I get to go there this summer. So is the haunted house like really scary or is it more cheesy?

I noticed in the Dole Whip picture I was like man why is everyone wearing red then I thought a minute and was like ohhhhhhhhhhh. Great pictures by the way, I wanna go back so bad.

Honestly I dont think you can cram all that in the four days you'll be there. When me and my family went last summer we went to Disney for two days, Sea World for one and Universal for one. Even with that I missed out on a lot. We stayed the whole day at Magic Kingdom and still didn't get to ride and see everything. Then we did the park hopper and hit the other three parks the next day which I do not recommend. It was so rushed we couldn't enjoy it as much and missed out on seeing a lot. I think the advice in the other post is good advice but since you only have 4 days I would suggest 2 days at Universal and 2 days at Disney. But of course I'm also a huge Disney fan. That would give you ample time at Universal but you'd still probably miss out on quite a bit at Disney.

I was also wondering how he's getting all this insider info too that seems to be coming across like it's facts but yet seem to have no basis.

I know! I can't believe at the people that just let them do it and don't say anything at all. I'd have to say something to someone if they jumped in front of me.

Was it just me or was Al Roker extremely rude in that clip?

Yeah, she already knows how to work the camera. She's all, "BAM! I'M FIERCE!"

You just made water shoot out my nose. ...well not really. But it was funny.

No, it wasn't Kinetix. Imaginique was still playing at the time, which was freaking amazing. It was three summers ago that we were there when Darkastle first opened. It was a show centered around a guy's bag and the stuff that was inside it. I think there may have been a big pearl at one point. It was an indoor theater show. My nephews and niece loved it. I would like to go back some time. I got to ride so few rides, it was just tooooo hot to wait in line in the heat. I only got to ride Apollo, Pompei, Corkscrew Hill and Darkastle. I was so upset, the people I went with were not coaster people.

The shows in the Ireland area are really good. Castle O'Sullivan is a cute little show with puppetry and on-stage illusions (I may have enjoyed it more though because I thought the lead guy was mega-hot) and the Irish dancing show was really neat too. But I like that sort of thing. There was also an awesome cirque-type show when I went but I found no mention of it on the website the last time I looked, it may be that mystique show mentioned before. We didn't get to do a lot when we went because it was SOOOOO hot. The days we went the heat was record-breaking. It was way up in the 100's. We tried doing a lot of the inside stuff because it was so hot and we had younger kids with us. I do recommend Apollo's Chariot though.

Have you all heard and seen this yet? It's called Paris Hilton (Go Away) It's the best thing ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgF5jDhWoUU

I passed all my classes and finals. This program is the hardest thing ever. 75% or below is failing but I made it through. Mental Health Nursing = B Family Health Nursing (OB and Pediatrics) = C+ Nursing Research = B

I'm still trying to figure out how they could misspell Nicole?

Is it really just like a regular swing, something like on a playground? What would be cool would be a swing ride on the top of it like The Zephyr at King's Island. I'd totally ride that.

So you're straight ....or....you have hills....or wait...now I'm confused My head hurts... As for me, I'm straight as....pfffttttt...bwahahahaha...sorry, I couldn't even say that with a straight face.

If I'm not mistaken I think he may actually be looking for information about how to get a job at an amusement park and who to contact and what-not here in the states since he lives in another country.

You win!

That list made me

lol.. Re-read it. I think he ment the photo of the wood. Came from a cellphone cam I'm fairly certain he was being facetious

I know! I couldn't believe they actually let them leave after 10 minutes in the vault, they should've been made to have to figure it out. What kind of challenge was that? The sit in a vault for 10 minutes challenge. The hardest mental challenge they've had like that was the flag challenge. And I can't believe that the spoiler list was actually right. Bleh. I feel they went way too easy on the teams this season, the toughest thing they did was that kayak paddle out to the boat. They definitely need to make their challenges harder and a bit more exciting. Where are the extreme stunts they used to have to do?

The last time I rode Shake Rattle and Roll it freaked me out. I was riding with my nephew when he was younger and I was paranoid he was going to fall out. I was like woah, I don't remember this flipping us up this much and like holding on to the little guy for dear life.

Is it bad that I live in Kentucky and have never been to the Kentucky Derby?

Awwwwww...cute! Congratulations!
