I think the trains will be good, so waiting isn't bad. Plus there is an ACE event the 15th which I plan on going to.

This is going to be an interesting season to say the least. The Jake swap was interesting, but I am thinking that Jake Anderson will go back to the Northwestern after Phil passes due to Jake Harris taking the rest of the season off. Here is some information I found via the CM blog. Don't read any further if you don't want to read spoilers about the CM season. http://www.corneliamarie.com/featured/the-future-of-the-cornelia-marie The CM was also having mechical problems and was in port to have a reduction gear repaired for almost 3 weeks. Which is probably a good thing for the crew to be able to mourn the loss of Phil. Josh and Jake also took the rest of the season off after Phil passed (understandable). Josh and Jake are part owners of the boat, so they will always have the choice of fishing on it. http://www.corneliamarie.com/featured/cornelia-marie-and-capt-phil-update Phil's ashes will be spread out at the beg. of next year's king crab season.

Is the tools in the drivers seat something you carry around all the time? BTW, still like Norm, glad to see it still alive and kicking.

Holiday World just posted a video.....not going to ruin the surprise.

I don't have hardly an issues with Vista (when I used it on my old laptop) or 7 (which I have now).

Checked out the wikipedia article. That is pretty awesome for a college to have an indoor water park with a flow rider.

This is going to be a down year for coasters for me........ a. I am wanting to spend more time with friends, kayaking, and doing photography and the major one b. I need to lose my gut. More specifically, once I can get my stamina up. I plan to bike or paddle twice a week. I would like to get down to 200 pounds from the 270 I am at now.

Don't have high expectations for Beast. There is trims all over it. Sometimes it would crawl though straight sections fo track. Crawl? Despite all the trimming, I'd say every ride I've had it's still a VERY fast ride and has some strong laterals on a good day. The only time it's crawling is on the lift hill! I have only ridden it once and it seemed really slow. Plus the trims kill all the spots where I expected airtime. They even have a trim on the drop and in the rosebowl. I was there on opening day last year, so it might not have been fully awake yet, but it wasn't pleasent and it wasn't very fast.

I made these in a food booth at a couple festivals, the place where I worked called them ribbon fries. Never had one myself though.

Thanks for hte TR Erik.....I am going to go to Gatorland when I get down to Florida next. Where is it exactly?

Holiday World has updated the menu of the park food places. They are adding churo's. http://www.holidayworld.com/visit/restaurants-food-outlets Some of the new items that interest me. And one that I will probably get

I don't see how they are doing a second season without hidden cameras or going out of the country.

Big camera is a Nikon d70s. Then I have Panasonic with a Leica lens that is 6mp and 4x zoom. I have had this camera for about a year and a half. Recently I bought another camera for a 100 dollars. Panasonic DMC-FS7 that is 10mp and a 4x zoom. This is my new back up camera or one I take when I don't want to carry the DSLR around. It takes amazingly good pictures for only being 100 dollars. I also have a JVC Everio 30 gig hard drive based video camera that I got real cheap. Barely used it last year, but will use it a little this year. I still want a better DSLR, but the one I want is 3k just for the body and and basic lens (d300s).

I won't even be at opening day this year. I will get back from New Orleans in overnight hours of that Saturday. If I feel like it, will probably got that Sunday.

Just so everyone knows, this will not air at 9pm like it normally would. Due to NCAA tourney, it will be 30 minutes later. At least here it is eastern time. Might be different for you west coast people.

I don't know, just have a friend on facebook who posted that. From what he said, all they have is a stair case and support with the train. The rest is unknown where abouts is what he told me. I have no idea, I don't pay attention to the coaster scene much anymore.

Bracket busted.

Speaking of chang....a friend of mine pointed this out. Was a Chicago news station doing a story on SFGA, look to the left.

I would love to roll up there in this. Great trip report

Being not familier with USH, what is it? I figure they are escalators, but is that how you get to the park from parking?

"Hail, hail to old Purdue! All hail to our old gold and black!" Nice TR. Are you a senior this year? If not, I will be there in the fall to watch a football game and see you play in the band. Band junkies and fans unite!

Riding a coaster with Santa at Holiday World. Or just talking about coasters in general. I don't do it often anymore, but when I do, it gets technical sometimes.
