the ghost

Yesterday during WCB. Me and my friends had an awesome time walking under Goliath and seeing the motor for the lift and all the oil and lube and stuff like that for the lift. It was also awesome to stand by the drop and helix. Notable mention goes to skipping a train on Terminator for the TPR audio train, which was awesome. YAY NO PRESHOW! Also, it was my first GCI!

WOW! What a day and night. We got there at opening and left at closing and got every ride we wanted done pretty easily, although it would have been a crowded day without ERT. Also, I kind of doubt she reads this, but a shout out to the ride op who was running Goliath at the beginning of evening ERT. She was awesome, and it was really funny when she had everyone raise there hands who didnt have a pass and then said "Guess you guys arent re riding, huh? Anyway, what an awesome day overall, and the Terminator WCB soundtrack was completely customized. Thanks to Robb and Chris for an amazing day, as well as all the park staff for keeping the day awesome. Have fun at Knott's tomorrow, and I'll see you guys next year for sure at WCB 2011!

Disney Geek Here! Anyway, I was in line for California Screamin and a ride op said something like "now launching at 50 miles per hour" so I said "you mean 55" and he said "sure" cause I was in the front car by the mike. I then said the ride was awesome cause it was built by Intamin and he asked how I knew so much and I told him to check out TPR. Dont know what happened to him since. Also, I constantly prove people wrong that think "rides like Superman are the fastest ride in the world."

For all of you out of staters, welcome to the great state of California. It's nice and sunny here right now. See you all tomorrow! OMG, this is weird to say, but I am almost as excited about WCB as my entire Florida trip. I CANNOT WAIT!

Ummmm, please fix. Why are the wheel things(I totally forget what they are called) dominating the first half of your helix, which also looks quite rough. This is unrealistic. Some good advice is to stick to one at a time, especially when posting.

The way this is being pressed it had better be better than Spidey. I dont like "The most incredible theme park experience ever" part, thats a little too far for my taste. As you can see the hate 13 is getting for being over hyped may come to Potter.

All right, the Thunder Roll has been modified, but I am happy to report it is riding essentially how it is supposed to. I modified it because you cannot tell, but the roll was at the edge of the border. So I turned it the other direction and it is now running well. I also eliminated the airtime hill(more hills will be added) as to draw out the roll. More progress soon!

^ Remember there is a dark ride section not shown. Rides have been known to be a lot better with the effects turned on. For example, I consider the mummy at Florida to be rather intense, but with the lights turned on I could brace myself and see what was happening, in the dark I am getting ejected and holding on for dear life. I also think that the dark ride section will automatically make the ride better as I think the GP likes a ride with a story. Look at Indy, I have been on about 5000 times(not literally, but I try to go about once a visit) and it is now 10 years old, but the ride draws people due to the effect of the car going crazily and interacting with special effects.

OMG! Sharktopus is being made right now. It's lioke the mecha shark and giant octopus made a baby while fighting.

THUNDERCATS GO! This exciting new attraction is an intense coaster based on the extremely popular retro television show "Thundercats." Mumm Ra has created a machine that will catch the Thundercats, so Lion O created a crazy machine too fast to stop. The coaster features a large drop of aproximatly 100 feet, and a top speed of 54 miles per hour. Track Work:About 40% done. The ride will be about a mile long. Support work: 0% complete Inversion: 2 out of 5 or 6(depending on if I make the common double B&M corkscrew finale) Terraforming 0% Pictures thundercat-100317184234000.bmp The drop and dive loop. Clearly inversion #1 thundercat-100317184240001.bmp YUM thundercat-100317184308003.bmp Twister Section. There is a good pop of air at the end. There is gonna be more twisted track soon. thundercat-100317184321004.bmp "Whats This?" you ask. thundercat-100317184337005.bmp Why it's the Thunder roll. A one of a kind element! thundercat-100317184339006.bmp I need to smooth it a little. Expect some airtme next though. GOOOOO

^ Same. Just nothings coming together like I want.

^ LMAO! I enjoy DCA and I still thought that was funny.

I cant wait for Mayhem this summer! Headliners Rob Zombie Korn Lamb of God Five Finger Deathpunch Opening Acts I care about Atreyu(They are just ok though) Hatebreed(Kind of hate it, but fun to mosh to) Chaimer(Crazy moshing coming out of that) Norma Jean(Christians screaming about Christianity. Not good when all of the main stage acts are not very religious, in fact, I think lamb of God are black metal) and a few others. I almost saw Bodom at the Glass House last December, but my parents were scared I would die, and they hate black/melodic metal.

That's good news! Cant wait to see everyone on Saturday. Post TRs and PTRs on Sunday as I cant be there. I AM SO PUMPED! TERMINATOR CREDIT HERE I COME!!!

Claim Jumper is a moderatly priced sit down resturant that is themed to the gold rush era(correct? I think gold rush, help me out guys) but its very nice. It is relaxed and not formal, but its a sit down resturant, and the food portions are huge, especially the desert. www.claimjumper.com/ Its a very good place though. I have not been to the buena park one, but I have been to one in Irvine, San Clamente, and Los Angeles, and they were all very good.

^^ Really? Arent Tremors, Aftershock, El Torro, and T Express all supposed to be amazing. This is GREAT NEWS in my book, all those coasters besides predator look great.

Only if you have the time, of course, but this thread was and is awesome!

Lol, you should have some good ones since your a chef. I had some salmon. Not bad, but not nearly as good as the Alaskan smoked salmon I caught and ate a few years ago!

I love the music throughout the ride, it reminded me of Mario Galaxy! Also, does anyone know what was supposed to be happening at the end of the ride? I was assuming all the stars and meteors and stuff were projections, but that looked like a tunnel at the end when everything got brighter. I dont know though, its not as impressive as Lotte World's. A solid looking ride regardless!

Someone recently stole my Ipod so I will be getting the album the old fashioned way, at Target or maybe hot topic if I cant find it at Target. What day is it coming out as that would be good to listen to on the way to bash?

I have never heard of something like Precious being shown on a plane. It is a great film, and I am planning on seeing it soon, as I do all the best picture nominees, but its not exactly family friendly, which most plane movies seem to be.

As Darkstitch once put it in the chat "The Carolina Psychlone got the dominator treatment" and now that I know what he is talking about I fully agree. Oh well, at least it is better than hair spray advertisements on the seats. Nice TR. Also, do ACE usually do tours where there is no riding? Cause I can geek out as much as the next geek, but if there is no riding I just dont see the point. I mean although the tour is cool I can find most of these pictures on the internet and listen to things like in the loop or other shows where they talk to pr people without doing the tour. Regardless, the backstage tours look pretty cool and I am pretty stoked to do my first backstage tour this Saturday. Nice pictures.

We are not doing great financially says my Dad, so we need to make cutbacks. That'sd fine, I get it, but he's pissed all the time, and were in no dire situation. He is the CEO and head doctor of Mariners Physical Therapy, which does quite well. We live in Irvine, which is constantly rateds as one of the top cities in America, which I am assuming makes it more expensive. He drives an Audi, my mom drives a Chevy Tahoe, I drive a Toyota Highlander, my sisters drive a Scion. He does not need to be pissed when we are CLEARLY doing fine. He has not been laid off or anything like that, and he just got a second Mariners Physical Therapy opened. I am fine with cutbacks, but that does not mean he needs to be pissed. I am typing on one of our 5 computers right now, including three laptops. WE ARE DOING FINE!

F### YES!!!! JOEY JORDISON IS GONNA BE ROB ZOMBIES DRUMMER THIS SUMMER AT MAYHEM!!!! JOEY IS GOD! Stay Sic my friends!

I'll apply right after bash. I figure I have a better chance if I take a picture with a bunch of roller coaster people backstage. Unless Robb applies. Robb, if you apply you will win cause you have the entire sites support, and I have kind of always wanted to see you on TV, and you could advertise the site. Yous should sign up, and if someone on here somehow wins advertise for TPR, the site will grow so fast.
