There's already a Guitar Hero thread: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26059&highlight=guitar+hero

I like both, so that's why I have both on my HP laptop... Hurray OSx86! I'm able to Duel Boot the Operating Systems now... I officially have a hackentosh Any computer running an Intel x86 chip can handle the hacked version of OSX... it was very complicated to do, but now I have OSX 10.4.8 and Windows XP running on the system. There is a way to Triple Boot and Quad Boot, so I may add Windows Vista and Linux as well.

Makes no difference to me... Of course, I've never ridden it when the lift didn't slow down. Jay (ElToroExtreme) Told me that they had just changed the lift speed a few days before I got there. So, the slowing of the lift is how my first ride was, and seems like this is the only way the rest of my rides will be. Still my #1 woodie Mike "Going back on July 16th for more rides" Redig

Remember when we watched that stupid Flash Pass video? "Amazing rides such as .... Kingda Ka (Showing Kingda Ka POV), and El Toro (Showing a video clip of Rolling Thunder)"

I'll get there soon to ride it... It's not really a ride I'd rush out to ride now (Even though I was there for opening day of the floored SheiKra). After riding Griffon, this would seem less... but still fun.

When did you go? I went almost two weeks ago and I don't think I exaggerated at all. The trims were on bad. Didn't get to ride Apollo in the back row because we had enough with one ride, heh.

New in 2008! Jesus Express! Now you can ride Jesus!

The next stop on our coaster trip was BGE. The park itself was beautiful and I can see why it's won the "Most beautiful park award" for the past years. But, ride wise, this park was a major letdown. Griffon - The main reason we came here. Yes, so you're aware, it's just SheiKra^2, there was nothing interesting about it. I did get the far right seat, and the floorless effect was interesting, but the overall ride was just "Meh". I still think it was a one trick pony and was personally a letdown. Apengeist - The theming of this ride was great! I loved the patches of snow along the ground as well as the ski buildings. I've heard terrible things about this coaster, but it was the best one at the park. The trims were on pretty heavy in the midcourse, and there were trims turned on at the top of the lift too. It did seem to crawl through the ending corkscrew and helix, but the rest of the ride was top notch. Big Bad Wolf - Well, I've finally ridden an Arrow Suspended coaster besides Iron Dragon... and yes, this does kick the poo out of that ride. The beginning part of the ride was great, I loved how close it got to the buildings. The second part of the ride was awesome too, I loved the dive onto the river. The only bad part about it was the trims along the final drop. The trims were on almost the entire drop, it could've had much more speed. Apollo's Chariot - The worst of the three B&M hypers I've been on. The trims on the ride totally killed the experience. There was little to no air on the first few hills, and the last few only had little pops of it. I still like B&M hypers, but please BGE, turn the trims off! Lochness Monster - Good solid classic Arrow ride. The interlocking loops were cool and so was the long helix in the tunnel. Again though, as with all the coasters at BGE, the trims totally killed the ride. There were trims before the first loop, and the trims going into the helix almost stopped the ride entirely. Drachen Fire - It died.. aww! Darkastle - This ride was really stupid. I'm sorry, but I probably wouldn't wait 10min for this ride. I guess I'm just spoiled with Spiderman. Storyline? What? BGE, turn off your trims please! Okay, enough with the ride descriptions... I'll just present you with the pictures. Sorry for the lack of them, I was more busy shooting video, which will come later And I leave you with one picture of Apollo... because that's all it deserved. From further away you can see Griffon as well. It's so pretty ^.^ BBW (lol) into the trees. "Swing, swing, swing..." Now I have you singing that horrible song! Insert caption here. Darkastle's queue was pretty. Too bad the ride sucked! It's fun to watch people on the log flume when Alpengest goes by them. I seriously thought some girl was going to crap her pants when she saw it. The look on her face was priceless. Alpengeist goes down as well. ... In that same picture I noticed this... I thought the skis on the side of Alpengeist's train were neat. Funny Alpie sign. Alpengeist ... I'll refrain from saying it. "Look how floorless I am!" Immelman #1 throu... Yeah... ... Then through Immelman #1 ... Griffon goes down... Signage. I see you hunk of blue steel! The time is 10:10... time to run to Griffon BGE Entrance ... Ooo, ahh...

That's exactly how the conversation went. I was speechless after the ride.

Haha Tomi... I was actually going to mention your name in the onride descriptions! Glad you got it though

Lol, that'll be in part 2

So, last week my friend Peter and I went off to do a coaster trip along the East coast. We already had a Platinum Pass for the Busch parks, so we decided to hit up BGE, in that process we added two more parks: Six Flags over Georgia and Six Flags Great Adventure. First up on our list was SFGAdv. SFGAdv was a huge surprise on our trip, I knew it had El Toro and Kingda Ka (Which was the main reason for going), but I never knew how much Six Flags had changed from the descriptions I have read of the park. People walking around with their shirts off were asked to put them back on, the designated smoking areas were enforced, the park had no litter, it was an overall pleasant experience. We also met a fellow TPR member, who is also going to be coming on the Midwest Trip as well! As for the coasters, well, I had my Intamin Cherry popped, and I'm glad I finally had! I'll just go through the list of coasters. El Toro - First ride of the trip, and best one of them all. This ride SERIOUSLY lives up to it's hype! The airtime left my thighs hurting for 3 days afterwards, the speed on it was outstanding, and the ending turns were great! Intamin has a winner on it's hands. By far my favorite wooden coaster. Kinda Ka - I was very nervous to ride this coaster. I have a thing with getting propelled at a high speed, let alone getting shot into the air 456ft above the ground. Did I happen to mention that I'm scared of heights? This ride was great as well though. The launch was intense, so intense in fact that air went under my eyelids and pulled them back, my onrides look frightening. Medusa - Meh at best. Sure, it's the first floorless coaster in the world... but can we say trimmed? The ride seemed to crawl through the course and was very lackluster in the elements. I guess I'm just blessed with Kraken. Run Away Mine Train - I'll leave this one for you ArrowFanMan *Cough*It was crap*Cough* Great American Scream Machine - Or, GASM (LoL!) as I like to call it. This coaster really surprised me! Sure it was overly trimmed, but wow! This coaster, for it's age, is great! I took a few rerides on it as well. You just have to know how to brace yourself during Arrow rides Robin: The Chiller - After Kingda Ka's launch, this one was nothing. It was fun going through the Cobraroll with only a lap bar though. I wish I had gotten to ride it with the Zero-G rolls though Oh well. Also though, Batman: The Chiller wasn't running. It was even missing to LIMs. Batman: The Ride - SFoG's is better! Nitro - My 2nd favorite (Out of 3) B&M Hyper coasters. The hammerhead stall was a really fun element, and I liked how at night the has no lights except on the lift and in the station. Only downside to this ride were the trims and bugs Wylie Coyote Coaster - OUCH! MY SPLEEEEEN! Guess that's what I get for being such a credit whore. Skull Mountain - Was fun in the back row with the random airtime coming off the first drop. The rest of the ride was fun too, very dark and disorienting. Blackbeard's Lost Treasure Train - LOUD! This coaster is almost louder than The Chiller! The banking on this coaster sucks as well. It was cool that they sent the train around twice though. Superman: Ultimate Flight - The credit that I almost missed out on. Our last day at the park and it was raining. The ride shut down due to technical difficulties. We didn't know if it was going to open back up. About an hour and a half before we left the ride opened again. Thank god for Flash Pass so we didn't have to wait an hour. The ride was great without trims, more intense than SFoG's. Rolling Thunder Left/Right - I'm doing these two together just because they both suck horribly, and should not be next to El Toro because of their suckiness. Please, for the love of god SFGAdv, tear them down or retrack! OMG! Death on wheels! Now, for the photos... Thanks for reading the Photo Trip Report, this is Mike... aka KrakenKing, reminding you to "Have a Wiggly day!" It got late, and we decided to do one more ride on Nitro before leaving... but we were so tired, we fell asleep on the ride. Me - "Nitro is scary!" Peter - "Look at this idiot" El Toro was so fun, we died! Me - "Ahhh! I love El Toro so much!" Jay - "WTF Mike?" Me - "Am I about to die?" Peter - "That worker is damn fine!" Log Flume photo! The log flume was gross. The log seriously smelled like someone peed in it. I wouldn't be surprised. El Sexo. Er... El Toro from the Skyride. Crap. "OMFG! My spleen!" Jay and I have reached a new low... SFoG's is better... yeah. Back in the park, we wait for Robin: The Chiller to launch. I dunno what's up with my face. When leaving the Safari, you can get a great shot of Kingda Ka, sorta like this. Derek... I'm sorry More Medusa... and a crane, to tear Medusa down? OMG call Screamscape! Animal pr0n is about to happen... So, this giraffe got friendly and came right into our open sunroof. Hi giraffe! "I'm scary elephant! I'm gonna eat you park ranger! Arrrgh!" "Who goes 12mph, ever, I mean... really..." We also decided to do the safari, which turned out to be really cool! I think the animal got hungry though and ate the sign... Intamin sex!... and an Arrow that wishes it could be as cool. Medusa goes whoosh. Hi Medusa! Yeah, I'm up there... And my expression says it all... "Jay! What'd I get myself into!?" Yeah, I'm actually REALLY nervous in this photo. "*Eep!* Uh... 'kay?" Notice how Peter looks calm, because he is. Notice how I'm calm, it's all fake. "I am Kingda Ka! I'm big and scary! Ride me!" "Oh Schnikies!" *Craps pants* Bye Bye El Toro, I'll be back in a little while... after... So, how was El Toro? "OMFG Incredible!" Popping my Intamin cherry! So, this is who we met up with. ElToroExtreme. Riding, you guessed it, El Toro. First train of the day! (Train B, which later broke) Mmm, hello sexy roller coasters!

I don't exactly fit... I was 6 when I rode Scorpion for my first time.

Someone was a little zoom happy...

Happy b-day! To transfer songs from a CD to the iPod, put the CD into your CD drive, open it with iTunes. iTunes will ask if you want to import the CD, click "yes". It will import it. Then take your iPod and connect it via usb/firewire and it should transfer

The Ring Toss game at SFoG has a few Yellow bottles. If you ring one of them, you get a Wii... Of course you're better off just shelling out the $250 and standing in line for one. ... Off to Kings Dominion for me

So... Rob and Scott... I'm gonna be meeting you. You just don't know who I am, but I know who you are See you (Possibly) tonight, or next weekend at SFoG

Yup, I did see that, I'm not an idiot. Why it got locked is beyond me. Pirates 3, Shrek 3, and Spiderman 3 got their own topics, why can't this? Should I make this a poll and have the options of wheather or not you think this movie is going to be good or bad?

Yes, you heard right... the best-selling computer game, "The Sims", is being made into a full length film. Not an animated film either. My friend and I have always thought of making our own "Live action" movie for The Sims, but we never got around to it. I can't wait to see what they do for this movie. I've been playing The Sims from its debut and still play it to this day. I even played The Sims Online for a while, ha! Anyway, here's the news article: The Sims Movie

Actually found a Wii today at gamestop. This message is actually coming from me using Opera. I'm really loving it! I'll post my friend code tomorrow, right now I'm off to bed.

Kraken at Sea World has the "Please remove earrings sign" in the queue.

I received one in the mail as well. Haven't figured out who I'm going to give it to though.

Either end of the train... Depends on which way you're traveling. If the track is right side up, the seat that leaves the station first is the "front". If the track is inverted, the last seat to leave the station is the "front".
