^ But which version? Many sites (including Facebook) are no longer supporting anything below IE 7. For phpbb3 if you are using IE 6 or below, you really time to upgrade. --Robb

^ That's fine. We'll figure it out if we need to. Don't worry everyone! --Robb

^ So the ride is demolished. It won't be moved. And if it does get re-built it's pretty much a modern-day copy of the original ride like Knoebel's building Mr. Twister or Little Amerrika building Meteor. --Robb

^ What browser are you using? That's really odd because mine looks like this: Using IE8

What a great TR Reed! I really would like to try NCL again for some reason, not sure why, maybe it's just because it's so different from RCCL which is who we've been crusing with the most lately. Then again, I wouldn't mind doing another Princess ship or even maybe a line I've never done before like Celebrity. Still, very interesting ship. LOL! I wonder how many people got that? --Robb

^ Yes, no problem. Just register like you normally would and put their name in the comments box with "Guest of...your name" and it will be fine. --Robb

They still have a little over 5 weeks until West Coast Bash. You can get a lot done in So Cal in 5 weeks assuming the weather stays good. --Robb

^ I'm not sure what you mean by this.

^ I really want to respect your opinion, but we really did go to great lengths to make the layout as similar as possible as the old one. I don't like change either, and if it were possbile, we would have made it look EXACTLY like the old version. But look at the two images below. Don't you think we got it pretty darn close? Old Forum... New Forum...

I was told they are expecting it to be operational for West Coast Bash. --Robb

^ Don't miss the next TPR cruise!!!

^ I personally didn't mind the "Freestyle Cruising" but I prefer the fixed table staff each night. As for a group of 5 getting a table together, I'm not sure about NCL but I know that on other cruise lines you could get smaller tables. In fact the last RCCL ship we just did even had some tables for two. If I recall correctly, I think on our NCL cruise we were a slightly bigger group (maybe 7?) and we had our own table. With the Freestyle method though, it's a bit more "first come first serve" so there isn't the opportunity to pre-book a smaller table, but I'm sure if you go to the dining room early and ask the head waiter they can probably arrange something for you, assuming they have tables that size. If they do not have smaller tables, then yeah, the 5 of you may be paired up with a group of 2, for example. I would try to take advantage of some of the other food offerings NCL has. I absolutely LOVED the Teppanyaki restaurant they had on our ship. Having done some TPR trips you know we like to have everything planned in advance which is why we prefer the non-Freestyle method, but I really did have a good time on our NCL cruise and I'd be willing to give their new Epic ship a try over, let's say, the new Carnival ship. I will say that the few times we have been stuck with strangers it was a bit odd. As you know Elissa and I are not "normal" people and conversations about roller coasters and sharks eating babies don't often go over too well with the general public! Have a great time and please let us know how it went! --Robb

Should be fixed now for all links that are posted from here on out. For example: http://www.themeparkreview.com/store/index.php?productID=89

Mr. Turtle approves of this image...and Chuck with no pants!

Alfred the dog looks sexy. You have a Walibi World map??? I'm bummed Matt can't make it to WCB. Thanks for the update on Hoodie 3! --Robb

It's part of the event packet that you'll pick up the day of the event. --Robb

Would anyone be interested in another "TPR Site Design" realted photoshop contest? Kind of like the ClubTPR Logo one?

^ LOL! Really? That's hilarious!!!! --Robb

I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure it's here. In fact, it might even be sitting in the pile of mail on my desk that I just haven't had the time to go through in the past 3 days!

^ I don't actually. This is something that is being put on by the park and I haven't been given too much information about it other than it will be a different menu from the lunch and they want to try to do something "special" for the group. --Robb

^ Actually you make a very good point. The old forum opened up links in a new tab. Let me look into this... Or, let me ask Hanno! --Robb

So just to get everyone up to speed. Here's what's going on this week over at Freestyle Music Hard Rock Park... First off, they have closed their business offices: http://www.carolinalive.com/news/story.aspx?id=412453 Then the website is no more: http://www.freestylemusicpark.com/ And now it seems as though they have laid off the rest of the staff: http://www.screamscape.com/html/freestyle_music_park.htm So there, that brings everyone up to speed on what's going on at Freestyle. It's future is not looking promising...

^ Yeah the new forum certainly keeps mobile devices in mind more than the old one did.
