During my residency in Tampa, I made it out to the IAAPA convention once. Since so many people ask about it ... here are some pictures. WTF? Another impressive booth Yummy spinny goodness Making the next big deal ... and hire Reverchon's I like their rides and all, but Intamin seriously needs to fire their booth designer .... I had to take a picture of Creegan's booth since they are located a couple miles from my hometown. Another fine PTC One of the coolest trains I have ever seen. Even if it is a two-bencher. Their booth had every coaster listed on the wall. Pretty cool, eh? CCI .... Um .... Gone! Best part of IAAPA. Free Dippin Dots! Chance Morgan Castle Talent The guys that designed "Lost Kennywood" Crazy EVIL rides! There are more than just rides and Dippin Dots at IAAPA Some weird Coral Reef company or something. Fabbri Inverted A GCII out and back? Chris Gray had a couple models on display at the GCII booth

^ That's not a mug. Thats a FREAKIN PITCHER!

Had a Rogue Red Ale when I came home from Pool League last night.

Beer Sorry ... wrong thread

I would have posted a picture ... but I already flushed the toilet

You have to order each coaster, but you can change the rankings (manually) in Step 6. Also, many people probably haven't caught this but you can also multiple select in the form by holding the CTRL button while you make your selections. This will allow you to move around more than one coaster at a time.

- All kickers are overpaid. They shouldn't even share the same veteran pay scale as "real" football players. - I wouldn't call Chad Pennington overpaid. I would only consider his situation to be unfortunate. I am sure he would love to be injury free right now. - Warren Sapp is a goon. Not a football player. His cheap hit on Chad Clifton in the Green Bay game a couple years ago was the worse thing I have ever seen this side of Bill Romanowski. - You couldn't pay me to hire TO. - Lavar Arrington is a good LB but he does not fit the mold of a Greg Williams defense. He is more of a freelancer. He would be worth the money on almost any other team. Do you hear that Pittsburgh? - All Lions Wide Receivers are overpaid because they don't have one quarterback good enough to make them work for a living. - Hines Ward is worth EVERY DAMN PENNY!

Pretty much any from the Sugar Free variety. I hate "Sugar" gum.

Another DELL vote! IM me for a site with great discount codes.

^ If you contact Paul Drabek through that site, I am sure that they still have some of the cards.

I submitted this with a funnier headline.

^ just as exciting

http://wdwliker.proboards67.com/index.cgi Wow! Already shut down. Guess this isn't the only board he spammed.

You want to see some funny faces? Fast Forward to the Steel Phantom Segment on that same DVD.

^^^ Whore! // In before close

I never knew they had a beer fest! Maybe next year.

Great Video. Very Classy!

I have found the problem with the helper. It has been fixed and the helper now works PERFECTLY. Robb is in touch with Mitch to fix the already submitted ballots. You should not have to do anything. I will keep you posted.

If you kill Knoebels ... I will hunt you down!

This is bizarre. I have tested the form many times and it always includes the "favorite steel" line. Actually, it doesn't give you the option to remove it. The only way you could remove it is if you manually take it off the ballot in the last step. Could the problem be on the tabulation end? If anyone is having problems with it please PM me. EDIT: Just tested again and everything is working fine. Don't know what this is all about.
