^^Not entirely true. Think Magnum.

Here is another video of the first drop and first hill. Any reviews out there yet? http://www.themepark21.com/t-express/

Congrats Diablo! I was really hoping that Juno would win something.

http://www.sixflags.com/greatAdventure/rides/constructionphotos.aspx New pictures. The cars have arrived.........in boxes.

The new pictures are great! Thanks for sharing. ^I don't see it as a trend. Twisting drops have been around for a long time.

That's great. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. It really is an experience unlike any other I have ever had.

I voted today. First time voting in a Presidential primary. I felt really good as all of the 70 year old ladies running the polls were so happy to have me there.

Patriots - 38 Giants - 27 I just can't bare to see the Giants win as I am an Eagles fan and have been programmed since birth to dislike them.

^^Awesome. What trip were you on? Was it an IsraelOutdoors trip?

The new renderings look awesome. It would be really interesting if the cars incorporated a drifting feature for the curving part of the track.

^^Why thank you very much. I must admit, this coaster is starting to look really enticing. The bridge looks great, and should look even better with the track, and trains flying over it. I am trying to throw together a summer trip that would include Waldameer. We shall see.

Now that I got confirmation the the links are working, do any of you have a suggestion for which picture I should enter into the photo contest? Thanks a lot for your help.

Juno was an incredible movie. It was so smart and witty. I loved it. Congratulations Diablo. I wish you the best of luck with your nominations, and truly hope that you win.

Ok. I figured out why the links were not working, and have fixed them one final time. It was a stupid mistake on my part. There are 180 photos all together, so I will post them here if you really want me to, but it will take a long time. Please check the links one more time, as I am confident that they work now. ^^My AIM is Coasterdude28. I was in all parts of the country. We were close to the borders a few times. Down at the Dead Sea, and the drive along it. We were also up in the Golan Heights(Gorgeous) and crosses the Jordan River into the gray area. Other places we visited were Tel Aviv/Jaffa, The Negev, Jerusalem, Dead Sea, Masada, Ramon Crater, Golan, Tzfat...the list goes on. One thing that I learned is that any preconceptions that Americans have about Israel are most likely completely incorrect. The media shows the country in a completely different light than it actually is. I felt much safer walking through all parts of Israel than I do in America. A lot of people here "Israel" and think of sand and explosions. They are so wrong. It is incredibly difficult to describe the feeling and experience of Israel.

Hmm. That's odd. Are the links working for other people? There are a lot of pictures. I will try to post them at some point in time.

Sorry. I didn't even realize that there were Israeli TPR members until I got back. You are a lucky guy. You live in a beautiful country. I really can't wait to get back there.

Sorry about that. The links are now fixed. Every year, Taglit(the organization that tuns these trips) holds a photography contest. I would like to enter one of my pictures. Any suggestions on which one I should enter? Thanks.

I recently returned home after spending 10 days in Israel on an outdoors bike trip. To sit here and type up what the experience was like would take an incredible amount of time. I will let the pictures do the talking, even though they do not do the trip justice in any way. EDIT: Links should now work.

I go to The College of New Jersey. No, that IS NOT Rutgers. I am a Mechanical Engineering major.

Flipdude - I saw both Luna park, and a waterpark about 3/4 of a mile away. It was across the highway and on the other side of a nice park with bike trails, playgrounds, and the like. I'll let you know when I get the TR up. EDIT: Here you go. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=518396

^^^I was on a Taglit Israel Outdoors trip. It was a bike trip. I wasn't able to get to any of the parks, but I did see one near Tel Aviv. It had a blue Vekoma Boomerang and a smaller coaster. I have a bunch of pictures from my trip. If you want me to, I can post a trip report with them in it. The Tunnel Vision slides look crazy. I can't wait for some of them to appear in parks.

^I can't imagine what modern waterpark would allow you to get on the slide before the person before you clears the bottom. All of the parks that I have been to hold at the top until the previous rider is clear of the slide. Your claim to have slid past people on the side of the slide seems a little bit rediculous to me, but I guess you are telling the truth. I am not trying to take a shot at you or anything. EDIT: I just realized that you are from Israel. I am not familiar with their safety procedures, so what you explained could be possible. I just returned from a trip to Israel. It is an INCREDIBLE place that everyone should try to visit at some point. I saw one waterpark that looked pretty cool near Tel Aviv.

^While that one is cool, I think this one is a bit better. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vZ37G1GKXBY

I saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets last night at a pre-screening. I could definatley see a heavily themed Disney ride based off of the movies. There are so many things that could be done relating to the movie. The ending of Book of Secrets would make for a very intense ride experience.
