  1. Normally, the people here are very forgiving to people who do not use English as a first language, but since you seem comfortable with it, may I suggest the following: i = I u = you ur = your or you're urs = yours
  2. I host videos, but I encode all of them to ensure a certain level of quality. If you deliver the file in MPEG format, I can work with it from there. PM me if you are interested. // of course, you have to sign up too!
  3. ^ But, most of the Disney "Value Resorts" are geared towards the family. If I am looking for a romantic getaway, I don't want to stay in a giant Monopoly board with 2 double beds. My best argument for why I don't like the system, is that everytime you enhance one guest's experience .... you discount anothers. :?
  4. To answer the original poster: The song is: Ring of Fire - Social Distortion I think that all the online services distribute this version. It is on their self titled album.
  5. Another ride I really enjoy, and it may seem really silly, is the "Wacky Shack" at Waldameer. It has to be the greatest of the "Tracy" era.
  6. My list: PKI, PKD, Canada's Wonderland, and Carowinds. Personally, I like Dominion the most.
  7. Another vote for IASW. The "techno" music in Riddlers Revenge is a close second. // actually starting to appreciate Republica's "Ready to Go!"
  8. As was mentioned by everybody ... get there early! The lines for DarKastle grow really quick, so unless it is the only thing you plan on doing you may want to limit it to a time or two. Not nearly as good as "Spidey" in my opinion, but still pretty cool. Here is my personal experiences with full queues on all the coasters: Big Bad Wolf - 45-60 Apollo - 45-60 Alphengeist - 45-60 Lochness - 30-40 All of those times are estimated with "good" operations. Sometimes the crews on Alpie can slack a little bit. A good dispatch is the train leaving the station as the previous one exits the MCBR. I have always found that Big Bad and Alpie are usually the two worst waits. Hit them early and hit them quick!
  9. The problem with Qbot is that until they get the ride running reliably, the ride will never be able to handle the amount of reservations. // would hate to pay $30 for a qbot only to find myself still waiting 90 minutes for a ride
  10. Barry, strike me up as one of the upset guests who now have to stand in line for Splash Mountain for 2-3 hours because I don't see the value in staying in a $300/night resort. It is obvious that Disney is trying to pull off something that is comparable to the Universal "Express" system. Disney might have bee the original, but now they are definately following the trends set forth be others. Unless they look to dramatically change the way that FastPass operates, all these new avenues will only exhaust the number of fastpasses that are available for each ride earlier in the day than ever before. If they increase the ratio and give out more fastpasses then that will only make the standby lines longer. Rides like Splash Mountain, Pooh, Space Mountain, Test Track, etc that used to be accesible in less than an hour (99% of the operating days) will now be unmanagable mess. There are plenty of ways to enhance the visitor experience, but making them feel like a second-class guest as soon as they enter the gates in not what I have in mind. I used to think that Disney was the only park that had a virtual queue that actually made sense, but now they are ruining the "level playing field" that made it work so well. But .... I am only one man, and it is clear that I am the minority.
  11. ^ Hope you can make it! Only one more week to go.
  12. I will go with Spidey. It may not be the best one to ride over and over, but I will never forget the first time.
  13. Again my choice is not on the list. Am I the only that finds it interesting that "other" is winning? // Hypersonic all the way.
  14. I though it would be good way to pick up chicks.
  15. As David mentioned, SFMM is in everything! Some off the top of my head: Encino Man: SFMM Mighty Wind: SFMM Spinal Tap: SFMM Vacation: SFMM 3 Ninjas: SFMM Big: Rye Playland
  16. That one might be a little harder to come by. They typically don't tear down or retrofit B&Ms.
  17. ^ Congratulations. How did you like my wrapping job? Those things are so awkward that I couldn't think of anything better than laying it on a piece of cardboard and wrapping a roll pf packaging tape around it. Anyway ... I am sure that Tim will be very grateful for the help.
  18. As you shouldn't! I took my girlfriend on that ride last year and our relationship hasn't been the same since.
  19. What are the regulations on Lasik in Canada? Most of the horror stories I heard about Lasik back in the day were people who went to Canada for "cheaper" procedures. http://www.teamlasik.com/tampatrib1.htm I did this website for a surgeon in Florida about 4 years ago or so. (I swear I am much better now )
  20. Where are the pictures? // of the porn of course.
  21. ^ True. Anyone who has seen Jeff at work knows that he can put a good spin on ANYTHING! Thanks for the kind words. I will pass them on to the author. // wishing I had as much time as a freelance writer does to ride coasters on weekdays.
  22. Where can I get the DVD? Even in "low quality" I am really digging your videos. Good work!
  23. CoasterFanatics.com reporter (I am not making this up ... she does this stuff for a living) Niki Kapsambelis took her little notebook to Kings Island for Media Day and brought back her thoughts on Italian Job: Stunt Track. Check it out: http://www.coasterfanatics.com/sec_features/feature_italianjobreview.asp
  24. YES! I thought that they could had done so much with that scen, but instead they turned Vadar into something he wasn't. There are some major holes in the whole Vader story. Other than that I found the movie to be very enjoyable and I really got a kick out of watching how the whole thing makes it to what we had in Ep4.
