Everyone! EMAIL DAN RIGHT NOW!!! "I hear you had sex with Jon Lovitz!" mrt0ad13@aol.com

^ Sorry, needs to be a TPR member

^ My "Goal" (and I say that loosely because things are crazy right now) is to have Raw 4 out on Nov 1, CE 13 on Nov 15th, and then something "brand new" out on Dec 1. We'll see if that actually happens or not though! --Robb

^ Totally insane. Let's just hope that by some miracle it makes it back to life.

Along with what Ginzo said I would think that the UK trip would be a more "complete" set of parks. Meaning that we're not really leaving anything major out of the UK trip. This Europe trip, however, kind of assumes you've been to mainland Europe before and have hit some of the majors that we'll be skipping by this time around (Heide Park, Movie Park, Toverland, etc, etc) and is more geared for those people who have "Been to many Europe parks before, but want to hit a few new ones or the parks that have added something major in the last year or two." If you look at the list of parks almost all of them are either parks that a TPR tour hasn't gone to before (Italy) or repeat parks that got/will get something new either in 2009 or 2010. We *WILL* be doing a repeat of our 2008 Mainland Europe tour, which hit ALL the major parks at some point in the next few years. --Robb

Yup, and now that HHN is at the Studios, Mummy, MiB, and Simpsons are open. Well, looks like your chances to ride it are slim and BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Seriously, like Elissa, Tyler and everyone else has said, why are you expecting all the RIDES to be open during HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS? Especially the new, sort of "problematic" ride? Get a dose of reality, people. Thank you! --Robb "Will be totally happy with the event as is..." Alvey

Arthur Levine, a friend of TPR and About.com's Guide to Theme Parks post a great article with Six Flags' Mark Shapiro here: http://themeparks.about.com/b/2009/09/29/six-flags-mark-shapiro-ceo-interview.htm Topics discussed: - Texas Giant 2011 Rehab - Bankruptcy Restructuring - 2009 Performance - 2010 Capital Plans - 50th Anniversary - and lots of other stuff. It's a good read - check it out! --Robb

^ Thanks Brent! We've actually been using Aquabats for a while now. I think I first used "Pizza Day" in Volume 7 and they've appeared at least 2 or 3 times since then. Glad you liked the video! --Robb "Fan of both Aqua and Aquabats!" Alvey

Hey everyone! We have just posted another segment from Coaser Expedition Volume 12!

^ Because he's cooler than the rest of us! Didn't you know? If you have "OMFG secret coaster stuff" that automatically makes you so cool...and then telling other poeple that you have "OMFG secret coaster stuff" gets you the chick launching machine in your bedroom. --Robb

Anyone else think it's kind of weird that Jesse Eisenberg is one of the leads in another amusement park themed movie this year? He's one of the main actors in Zombieland. --Robb

Did anyone here take some off-ride footage of Prowler this season? I'm looking for a few off-ride clips shot on either a MiniDV camera or an HD camera. Video from a digital camera in "movie mode" won't work. Please let me know if you have anything! Thank you. --Robb

And they used more comfortable L-shaped bars instead of those very tight fitting U-bars on the older Gerstlauer trains. --Robb

It's look like November 1st will be the release date! --Robb

I would like to write in my vote for the name - "Mr. Penguin" That is all.

20/20 - Holy crap I'm a nerd!

Yes, and there will be a special announcement about this show posted soon!

It's when you have a deck of cards and you want them mixed up so you can't tell what's coming next. or.... What he ^ said.

Uh, oh... Beware of Mr. "I know something you don't know..."

^ Not at all. We should have more than plenty of time to get everything done. That's actually why the extra day was added so that we wouldn't have to eat up time at parks rushing around. --Robb "Good question!" Alvey

And shorter drives on the NE Tour. Just take a quick look at a map of where we're going on the Intimidator tour and you'll figure out that there we are covering a LOT of mileage in that time. --Robb

The last one I played was FIFA '97 on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.
