Great TR. I'll have to echo what someone else said about Prowler, it just seems like it has great days and meh days. The first time I rode it, it was a meh kind of day. Ever since then I've had nothing but great rides on it. As for Raven, I went to HW for the first time in August, and while I enjoyed it I also wondered why it was so highly praised back in the day. Mind you, wooden coasters area lot crazier these days, so that might have something to do with it. I wasn't a fan of Legend, mostly because I'm not a huge lateral G fan. But Voyage, oh man, I was blown away by that ride! I still rank El Toro #1, but Voyage is my #2 wooden coaster. I'd probably rate Outlaw Run #2 if it hadn't destroyed my shins (I'm 6'6").

I voted for option 2, mostly because I don't use Twitter. But, to be honest I think the site would be better off using option 1 because it includes the twitter feed and that's going to be a necessity going forward. Hope my answer makes sense. Honestly, I like both of them and think they're both an improvement over the current home page.

Goliath at SFMM was the first. I-305 during the New Hotness tour in 2012 made me just about black out. I was really dehydrated that day, so I only took 2 rides on it. This year, I rode it about 10 times during Coasting for Kids, and greyed out every time, but not as bad as the previous year. It's my #2 steel now.

Woke up to find that someone from Russia had hacked my origin account. They even changed my username. I was able to get everything back to normal within a few minutes, so it wasn't too obnoxious. Made sure to use a much better password this time around.

I like this idea. Then, Six Flags can buy Adventureland.

Yep. 18 years, if you want to count The Underground. That's a long time.

I never really collected any theme park souvenirs in the past, but started collecting fridge magnets this past summer. I'd guess that I have about 45 now. I might post some pictures of my favorites.

No issue with elves, but I can't drop presents in people's towns for some reason. I have tons of gift bags, but when I tap to drop the presents, it doesn't let me. Not sure what's going on... Before anyone asks, this is happening regardless of what town I'm in, so I know it's not because they have too many gifts already.

I haven't been able to get logged in all afternoon. Definitely put a damper on my lunch break today.

Yeah, I am really considering saving this for the next TPR event I attend. That would really make for an interesting evening! Scandi?

Eric might have won for best gift so far. That coloring book is hilarious! I need to sign up for this next year.

Decided to completely rebuild my town, so it's in a pretty sad state right now. Had a weird glitch happen with the Elf house. It ended up giving me 3. I got the first one on my phone from collecting gift cards. The 2nd was unlocked when I played on my iPad that night, then when I played on my phone later it gave me another one!

2 Questions: Is Outlaw rough compared to New Texas Giant? Is there great airtime on the first drop? 1. Outlaw Run is incredibly smooth. I haven't been on New Texas Giant, it was closed when we were there due to the accident. 2. Yes. Even thought I knew it was coming, the airtime still kind of caught me by surprise on the first drop.

I've been to BGW twice in my life (each of the last 2 summers) and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite parks. Great collection of ride, absolutely the most beautiful park I've been to, and even the food is amazing. Honestly, even you guys wouldn't like Europe in the Air. It's terrible! If they do a food and wine festival again this year I might try to get out there for it.

Don't worry, as you move forward in the quests, there are a few tasks where every adult in town is eligible for Gift Cards.

^ I've got to agree with you about the shin guard. I'd probably rank Outlaw Run #2 if it wouldn't have crushed my shins. 3 rides in 2 days was all I could handle, unfortunately. Hoping that the new shin guard will be much more comfortable!

I'm going to go with this. They already scare the crap out of me, I can't imagine what this will do to my boxers :\ Since I had to ride those Sky Screamers with you last summer (TERRIFYING), I feel like we should meet up at BGT and ride this together. At least this time I'll know that we're both scared shi*less!

I'll probably ride this once, change my underwear, then never ride it again.

I'm still mad at Larry for being "that guy" on the New Hotness tour in 2012. Soaked our group at Knoebels and Dollywood.

I'm already around $5k for Scandi 2013, including airfare.

Downloading the update now. I'll mess around with it tonight. Random question... Do you guys have to sign in all the time? I feel like it logs me out almost every time. It's pretty annoying. I'm playing on an iPhone 5 and my iPad.

Just caught up on the last few updates. As always, these are great pictures. I noticed that I ended up in one of the American Thunder pictures. That's about the 5th or 6th time I've ended up in a picture from that ERT, and I look like my dog just died in all of them. Not sure why, because I've always really liked that ride. Maybe I'm just a really boring person and never realized it until now.

Right now, I feel like FSU is going to win this by double digits. They've been the most well rounded team all season long, and I think their defense will be able to slow down Auburn. That's why they play the game, though. It will be way more interesting than if FSU had played OSU.

Great start, Andy! Looking forward to seeing all of your pictures.
