Ummmm........

To some it is a religion!

Awwwwwwwww!! The great outdoors!! Great pics there Brandon!! Yosemite is very beautiful place to visit! No matter how many great coasters or amusement parks that are out there.. nothing beats a good few days camping or going out to the great outdoors!! There is just some great peace about it that you cant find anywhere else!

Where does the employees park now after Scream was built? Do they park in a previous used public parking? If so then what I said about Scream was valid. If not then what I said about Scream is not valid. But I still hold my position about building the parking garage concidering that they have to park across the road when the parking lot gets overcrowded. Anyways I was just thinking about something! Could you imagine being up in the skytower when an earthquake hits!! Everytime I have gone up there that thought always crosses my mind!! Mike "not to thrilled about earthquakes" Black

Indeed it does! Maybe SFMM should have thought about the parking lot getting overpacked before they made the parking lot coaster (Scream) which took up a lot of parking spaces! Hmmm maybe that idea about a parking garage isn't such a bad idea now since the parking lot is getting overpacked. Disneyland did it!! Now that Shapiro is in the captians chair maybe it will get built!!

Trommel means drum! So it is called drumlift. Ok, eggbeater is a nickname really for the type of lift. Because it resembles an eggbeater like rollermonkey said. LOL ya cakemixer seems like it would be more appropriate name for it! But anyways, most of us coaster geeks like to nickname lots of parts of coasters. Like for instants on Tatsu at SFMM with the eggturn. Robb likes to call it the "eggturn" because its shaped like an egg. On Goliath at SFMM, the last helix creates extreme G forces which makes some people almost black out. So some of us like to nickname it "the centrifuge". On the Volare coaster and its clones some of us like to call the car that you ride in the "rat cage of doom" because you are surrounded by a cage and bars as you ride So overall "eggbeater" is just a nickname we all like to call that sort of lift!

Btw Derek your signature has taken on a whole new meaning now after seeing what has gone on with this trip. Especially the behind the scenes that no one knows about!

Those nachos looks like chips in an edible fried flour tortilla bowl mainly used for taco salads! That is the first time I have seen an edible bowl of that sort used for that!!

^Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm okkkkkkk!!! AHEM!!!! Derek you are now the envy of all the guys here at TPR!!!! But great job dude!! This is just the begining!....and I see a sparkly in Nicoles eye! This means not to step on their Fender Bass's that they have laying around those station houses! Those wacky canadians and their instruments, I tell ya!!

I never could stand the renovation of Tomorrowland at Disneyland! I liked the oldschool look better with the peoplemovers!! I really dont think the renovation and changing Tomorrowland made it more futuristic. I think it just made it ugly and tacky! I'm just not diggin on the copper, silver, gold, and brown look!! Bleh!! To me the oldschool look looked much more tomorrowlandish then it does now! Thank the maker that they painted Space Mountain back to its original white!! Also I can't stand the doofy looking Autopia cars! Bleh!! I think they should of kept the same corvette bodystyle!

An "eggbeater" lift has a central hub with a pole that goes straight up the middle of the spiral which has two separate poles on either side of the center pole conected by arms holding them all together. This turns or spins slowy pushing up the train/car. The train/car has an arm that extends out from it in contact with one of the side poles of the"eggbeater" which pushes it up the lift. It looks like a huge egg beater at super slow speeds when it is turning or spinning. Here is a picture of the Volare "eggbeater" http://www.rcdb.com/ig2199.htm?picture=55 Then there is the tire propelled or electric spiral lift without the aide of a central "eggbeater" to lift it up. It is lifted up the spiral independently by either tires or electricity that is on the track. So it pulls the train up on it own. Here is a picture of a tire propelled spiral lift http://www.rcdb.com/ig2463.htm?picture=6 Here is a picture of an electric spiral lift http://www.rcdb.com/ig113.htm?picture=1 Now with that information and just to clear things up, does Euro-sat actually have the eggbeater type of lift like the volare or the tire propelled/electric lift?

Great to see the Skytower is opened up again! Lets hope it stays open! Wow Robb there sure was some sweet exclusiveness going on up in that tower with your camera! But I noticed you excluded Scream in those pics. Was that intentional showing anti-love for Scream? Or did you just not think about it? I also did notice something else when you took those pics of Tatsu. I pretty much did not notice Revy at all! I was so focused on Tatsu Revy was pretty much a backround that I disreguarded! Did this happen to anyone else when they looked at the pics?

HAHAHHAHA!!! That is awesome!!! Bock bock bock.......bock bock bock.. bock bock bock bockbockbockbock... bock..bock!

I dont know about anything else in the picture but I am severly distracted by that small wild curl of hair that is hanging down on Guys forehead!

INSERTING!!!! What exactly was it that you were inserting? Or dare I ask... into what?

Tatsu has come to contact you!!!!! CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE TATSU KIND!!!!

I just saw the trailor on this and I am already sold! This looks like an amasingly fun game!! Unlike Gunslinger who thinks it's gona be the worst game to hit the console scene, I think this is gona be one hell of an addicting game with many many hours of game play!!! I am totally looking forward to playing this!! I think this is gona be a huge hit and become poplular with the coaster/theme park simulation crowd!! This is most definetly going to be a great addition to the coaster/theme park simulation games!

Let me ask you this! Do you think a person such as Robb who runs his own major site that is practically known around world and who has taken hundreds videos successfully in a professional manner and then posts them on his site would actually get away with it if he illegally took videos of hundreds of coasters? Most likely this site would get shut down if not shut down already. Not to mention wouldn't they notice him standing in front of the train mounting the camera in the first place if he didn't ask for permission? Now what do you think?

Ohh it is most new!! I did a double take on this one and couldn't believe it myself! This saves soooooooooooooooooooo much time on finding a certain page that you want to look at. Instead of clicking and waiting.... clicking and waiting.... clicking and waiting......clicking and waiting.......etc and so forth and so ooonnn....... all you do is pull down the page that you want and you are there!!! Makes finding a page trillion times easier! This is very much like comparing video tapes to dvds. Or audio tapes to cds. Instead of pressing fast forward to find the spot you like, all you got to do is pull down the selection list and click on your desired choice and boom you are there!! !! Welcome to the future everyone!!

Well this isn't the whole roller coaster but these two views are really cool!!! This view of the second half has always been my fav shot of all times!! *Ultimaterollercoaster.com Just before going into the tunnel looks seriously awesome! *Joyrides.com

^That scene in that video is better then FD3's!!!

I think Magnum and its trains looks like it should be in Japan!!

^(Somehow I just knew this was going to be you next caption game picture!!!) This is Robbs favorite fetish! Being kicked in the ass at SFMM by a jew with baggy pants as his underwear (ewwwww!) are showing and one of his male sexual playmates predending to be a super hero by wearing a TPR hoody on his head as a cape!!

So what you are saying here is that if it was painted differently it wouldn't be ugly and that you like the shape of it but not the paint on it? Well I think that Wildfire at Silver Dollar City is buttass ugly with that poopy color!! Not just that but it is called Wildfire so why didnt they make it red orange yellow to simulate a fire! It's location is awesome and to see the track out in the trees like that with the red orange and yellow colors would look awesome! But nope they had to go with the poop color! RCDB

Ok I dont get what is going on here! Maybe the picture is too small to see what you want to show us?
