No, the rings spontaneously combusted, and they have no plans on getting more because they're known to do that kind of thing.

My boyfriend and I just bought our first house (well, actually, he did, haha). Moving in a week. So glad to be out of apartments. 2.5yrs and still strong!

^ Pretty sexy. Someone should make it their avatar, hah.

Can you say extreme air coming off that first block? Looks like it didn't slow the train at all! I personally can't wait. I LOVE airtime, and seeing as how the closest coaster with more than two moments of good air is Goliath, I think it will become my favorite coaster in Orlando.

oops.

They could even build a new woodie and use the existing wood! I'm sure GG, or GCI could come up with SOMETHING better than that... Also, with the world going "Green", it would give King's Island a good rep. I'm sure this has probably been mentioned before, but I'm too lazy to look back through 14 pages.

Two coasters with vertical elements here... of course they're not turns, or GG coasters even. But still, may pick one up! I like the design.

Two videos not posted yet. The part near City Walk. Through the fire facade. Looks like it actually flies through the course and the MCBR's don't affect the ride much.

Song of The South, the racist Disney movie. Good report so far Looks like you all had a blast.

Bang Camaro = Man Chorus rock group. Has been in Guitar Hero and both Rock Band games. Serj Tankian = Lead singer from System Of A Down's solo project EndeverafteR = Another band that made it into Rock Band 2 (Free in the 20 download pack) and a Christian Metalcore band (Whatever the eff that is...)

Bye. Rode it two years ago, awful.

I do like the ride logo imprinted in the headrest. The control panel makes it look like everyone will have a giant plastic phallus.

Set up looks a bit different from the one in the Dells. There was no "Side Elevator" that took you up. Just a single carriage that was hoisted up in the middle, which also made the net raise. This one looks a bit safer. Oh, and we didn't get a helmet either, which caused me to jam my knee into my mouth.. but it wasn't that hard, so it was okay. Looks like you had a great time!

No Doubt with Paramore. Man, I don't care what anyone says, those chicks can SING! Great concert, even though we were out in the rain for some of it, but it was all part of the experience!

Please...NO COUNTRY MUSIC! Like you couldn't just avoid that genre...

But why would you want the cover when you can have the master!? By the way, they couldn't get the masters for "Run to the Hills" or "Number of the Beast", as they were presumed lost... but I guess they found them. I'm not complaining

nb4lock?

But thank you to those awesome park officials for getting it up and running for us! I must admit, I was a little nervous about manual operations, but they knew what they were doing.

^ Dork

I made it out to Sea World today in hopes of riding Manta. It wasn't closed or anything, but two of the trains were not working. One was in the holding bay, and one was stuck in the flying position in the station. So one train operation had the wait to 60min. The good news is, the aquarium part of the attraction is now open and it looks spectacular in person! SeaWorld did a great job, not only with the ride, but also with the non-rider portion. Didn't have my camera so wasn't able to get any pics.

My friend has a performance there. It's some skit, don't remember the name. May show up though. If I do I'll stop by!

OMG, LOL! I just had to say.

Not to mention that Smash Hits isn't even being developed by Activision.

Um, that's music. It is repetetive. Ever listen to Prog rock? Yup. It's a great riff, don't get me wrong, which is why I was *Excited* (Did you all miss that part?) to play it. But in the end, it just didn't translate well to a music game. That's where I think Guitar Hero falls short to me. All the bands on GH:WT I've heard of. Don't get me wrong though, Hendrix and Van Halen are excellent and I wish that Rock Band had grabbed them, but its also exciting to discover new music from these games. RB has gotten me into many bands that I had never even heard of before such as The Mother Hips, The Silversun Pickups (I know, GH has them too, but they were in RB first and where I know them from) and The Fratellies. RB has also gotten me to listen to lesser known rock bands and classic rock such as The Cars, The Pixies, Rush, and James Gang. It just seems like Rock Band picks songs and bands that reach into a broader spectrum of rock, instead of only pumping out songs that everyone knows like Guitar Hero does. Now I know what some people are probably thinking, "Oh, but I like to play songs that I know" and I know there are some of you out there that are afraid to step out of boundaries to discover new music and only want to play songs you know. Rock Band has PLENTY of songs I know, but it's fun to find songs that are good, solid songs, but also translate well to a music game. Now, there is also the issue of Guitar Hero saturating the market with their games. Guitar Hero has 16 games total, and none of the songs between them are compatible with the other Guitar Hero branded games (Besides choice DLC from GH:WT). Rock Band has 5 games total, two of which aren't even released yet and RB1 songs are compatible with RB2, as well as all of the DLC. Now, I don't want to keep switching discs to play the songs I want to play and that's where I see GH lacking. You can't export any songs from their past games into future games or vice versa. Rock Band you can, and with that: RB1 tracks = 55 (Exportable) RB2 tracks = 84 DLC tracks = 524 AC/DC track pack = 18 (Exportable) That is a total of 681 songs you can possibly have and play with only one disc. GH:WT tracks = 86 DLC tracks = 121 Only 207 songs. Smash Hits will not be importable either.

Don't mind them Welcome to the boards
