I have been in the engine room for the Noahs Ark attraction at Kennywood. And here are some quick highlights. - You can actually crawl under the plexiglass in the first room - The original wallpaper is still in there from the original Hipppo room - The motor that rocks the boat is pretty damn impressive - You can stand behind the "imploding chamber" in the last gag

Interesting. It isn't even raining right now! My guess is that this week leading up to Labor Day is probably one of the quietest times in the park anyway. If there were no Nationality or Community days then why not.

But we do! Actually, if you haven't had a chance to try some of the Penn Brewery beers, I highly recommend them.

Very good TR. I have always wanted to do the "tours", but the cost usually scares me away. Hopefully one of these days, i will finally do that "Keys to the Kingdom" thingy.

Greg, I knew you had great tastes.

I would also recommend Florida. - Their Universal is Better - Their Disney is Better - Kissimmee Skycoasters is kind of "The Skycoaster" - Easy Access to Busch Gardens Tampa - Warmer - Cheaper Flight - Cheaper Hotel - Cheaper Car Rental Wait ... Elissa already said all of this.

^ Nope, still plan on going even with Dave there. Actually, Catrina will be excited that more female units are signing up!

That has to be the prettiest keg I have ever seen.

Hurricane Agnes totally blasted Knoebels http://www.knoebels.com/history.htm Bushkill got wasted last year (Hurricane Ivan) http://www.ridezone.com/parks/pa/bushkill/Flood04/ Hersheypark also got nailed by Ivan Most parks that are along any sort of flood plane have had substantial damage over the years.

My money is also on Batman. I think it has the best odds. // I always knew that my girlfriend disliked Six Flags, but now it looks like she may destroy it

A perfectly balanced Libra over here.

True. Almost everybody I know that votes in the poll is an ACE Member or some sort of enthusiast. I think the real problem is that a lot of people don't vote with their gut, because they think it will just go to waste. I know people who have wanted to vote for something outside of the norm, but it just doesn't make a difference. Kind of like voting "Green". Anyway, if it the truth you seek, do what many have suggested and check this page out: http://www.geocities.com/wcoasterpoll/ In the end, I think that most polls are pretty useless but to gather a general opinion. My top 10 is the only one that matters!

Sorry Gregg. 2 Weeks too early for me also. Damn PPP!

That is hysterical. The photo gallery is worth the price of admission alone.

Damn. I want to eat at Wally's. Thick Steaks Grilled Shrimp and Killer Beer Reminds me of this: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16914&highlight=beer

^ I would recommend designing a promo for your video including a small blumb and some good quality stills. I don't really have any video in my portfolio, but I do have a decent bit of flash and treat it about the same way. The easier you can make it for the people viewing, the more they will like it. I actually designed 3 of the templates that the Art Institute uses for their websites. Examples: Design 1 http://www.aicala.artinstitutes.edu/index.asp?ref=1 http://www.ilic.artinstitutes.edu/index.asp?ref=1 http://www.ailv.artinstitutes.edu/index.asp?ref=1 All the menus and news tickers are in Flash with an XML backend so they easily change for each school Design 2 http://www.aim.artinstitutes.edu/index.asp?ref=1

Death by Vekoma!

I am toying with the idea of adding on DLP, but the cost and time may become prohibitive. I mean ... I have to go back to work sometime. Most likely we will spend a day after the trip doing the London scene.

^ I seem to only make it to one or two a year so ... life would go on.

Question: What do you think the approx. cost of a two day add-on to DLP would be. Including: Flight Hotel Tickets Just need a ballpark figure.

Damn Ohio Drivers! Get in the right lane already!

^ I do the same thing. Just replace Ulead with Vegas 4.

Why not lump together Legoland and Sea World back to back? The traffic you have to deal with sucks. No sense in doing it any more than you have to. Also, I don't know if it is open or not, but if you go to Sea World it would probably be worthwhile to drive the extra mile or two to check out Belmont Park and the Giant Dipper.
