^ Love that song - Adrian Belew is awesome.

It all looks wonderful - love the great selection of local craft beers.

^ In that case, Pottsville will be right up your alley.

Ha - love the name!

^^ You are going to LOVE the brewery tour, Zach - we certainly did! And this is coming from someone that doesn't particularly care for Yuengling beer. The nostalgia of this old brewery is fascinating, the tour is great...and they give you plenty of samples in the end. Can't speak for what else there is to do in Pottsville around the brewery though. In driving in and out of town, it appeared to be your typical blue-collar, redneck coal-mining Pennsylvania town. IE: settled in hilly terrain with a lot of lower to middle income housing, lots of Dollar General/Dollar Tree stores & a couple of Sheetz stores/gas stations sprinkled in for good measure.

Sounds intriguing as I love me some Epcot - this is just another reason to go back (like I needed one).

^^ Zach - you could always get your hand stamped and go to the (nearest) bathroom at the entrance to the water park as they have showers in there that you can use without having to go into the water park. Another option would be to use the campground showers - the walk would be a little further, but they will likely be cleaner than the one at the water park (there always seems to be a lot of dead muffleheads in that one). I hear where you are coming from though - I would go nuts if I stayed a couple days at CP and wasn't able to shower. Actually, I can't even imagine going a couple of days without a shower, period! Here are the bathrooms and showers

Here is another report that I did a couple of years ago... Link

Thanks for posting, Chuck! Cyborg Assassin Kittens is an awesome name for a beer! But I'm not sure what to make of this one from Craft 31! LOL

^^^ Thanks Zach! I am the type of person where it will drive me nuts until I figure out root cause of a problem. Likely explains why I pretty much do that at work every day. ^^ As far as tent camping, Cedar Point has never allowed it as long as we have been going there. They used to say that it had something to do with the water table level and pitching tent stakes, but when you have monster coasters and rides next door that are buried several feet into the ground, that kind of throws that theory out the window in a big way. My thought was that they didn't want the wrong type of crowd coming in there with just tents. Don't get me wrong, we used to tent camp all the time, so I'm not saying that tenter's are dirtbags. I just always felt that they may have used the water table level as an excuse more than anything else.

^ Nope - I already can't use TPR at work unless I open it on my phone. Apparently my company doesn't want me browsing roller coaster forums while working because it's deemed as "entertainment". I just got done doing a major Windows update - hoping that it would fix whatever is preventing images from opening. Didn't work, unfortunately. I had uninstalled Firefox on here thinking that it was the problem, but Google Chrome does the same thing. I reinstalled Firefox again, but it's still doing it. It's really weird because most of the photos load, while something is preventing certain ones (GIF's in particular) from opening. And if I hit refresh/reload three or four times, it will eventually open the picture or GIF. I guess I am off to do some Google searches to see if I can find a setting somewhere, but so far, no luck. I don't want to derail the CP thread, but I appreciate the feedback from you and Zach! Edit - it looks like Firefox and Chrome are blocking because it's saying that TPR is not a secure connection. Double edit - I think that I got it!! I needed to go into settings/add-ons and uncheck the box shown below. I had to uncheck the "Block dangerous and intrusive flash content" box

Anyone else seeing this happen when people post GIF's and such (not just in the CP thread)? I was using Google Chrome and wasn't seeing these download so I went back to using Firefox and it isn't showing them there either. Is there a setting that I need to change? Sometimes I refresh and they will show and other times, they won't. Weird. From Firefox Google Chrome

^ Potential misspelling of the band's name?

^ Glad to hear it...now we might just have to not sell our RV after all!

You might want to avoid this place then. LOL Campground near Knoebels

We stayed at the Days Inn across the street and it was very budget-friendly in cost. Nothing fancy, but clean...and they had a free shuttle to the park. I really don't think that we paid over $100 for the night...although we went in early May and stayed on a Sunday night, I believe. So while you might pay $20 or $30 more to stay there versus one off of I-95, you can use the shuttle and save the cost of parking - if you're not a season/Platinum pass holder.

^^ That is great...congratulations!!!!

^ Well put. I don't get it either...why would you trash your own city because your team wins a world title? Idiocracy, I suppose. Oh - and my final prediction is why I don't do the point spread or pick 'em tickets anymore. I did win my money back on my office pools and profited $20, so I'm a happy camper. What a great game it was to watch and I actually thought that the refs did a good job on the calls - despite Collinsworth's whining. And I am so happy for my sister and her family because they live in Allentown and have been singing the loser's club Super Bowl song for as long as Buffalo has. A good time to be an Eagles fan!!!

Love the fact that more of you are getting on board with this thread! Keep 'em coming! Still there, but with a worse name. Even though Medusa didn't fit in with the western themed area, I still preferred that theme over Bizarro. Medusa was Michael's first ever front row seat on a coaster! He told me to tell him where the camera was so that he could open his eyes long and go hand's free just long enough for the photo - which he did. Then he closed them tight for the rest of the ride. LOL Rolling Thunder over yonder. Four in one shot!

^ Me too - I like the concept, so I'll be interested to hear from folks if these are any good or not. Have any other CF parks offered this before? I wonder if you would start with a scoop of mac and cheese and then you add whatever toppings you want to it buffet-style, or if they do like 15 different types of "gourmet" bowls? Oh and...just because...Apple Zapple!

I am starting to get tired of winter.

^ As long as it's your team doing the blowing out, definitely. I don't know if my heart would handle another "Wide Right" Super Bowl at my age now! Final predictions? I really am hoping for the Eagles to pull of the upset, but everyone is picking the Patriots. Still have to think they win it in Q4 by a score of 27-21. Actually just hoping to win big on my pools more than anything else. I have already won $90 of the $320 that I have tied into the playoffs and SB, but tonight is definitely the biggie! Rooting for my #'s over the team tonight!

^ I wondered if the Cher reference would come up! Here's a couple from SFGAdv... Who remembers GASM? Loop #2 Loop screw It did have quite the lengthy lift hill The skyline is a little different now

^ I've got several from its opening year as well - thanks for sharing!

I'm freaking dying here! And yes, if people are going to petition shit, make one to name a coaster Laser Snake Horse On Fire! Of course, then you would offend many horse lovers
