Garet

T Express MCBR is quite early in the ride, pretty much after the first two hills and a turn, which is great since I've seen them run 3 trains without stacking, although on a couple times we ended up stopped on the MCBR for a few seconds and lost the momentum.

With the baby on the way, I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to go out and do a TR for Panda World but this Korean blogger did one already and his photos are always fantastic, it would put my TR to shame anyway: http://szsup.tistory.com/705

I realize I'm years late to this but I picked up the Arkham trilogy in a sale and they are so good. Mark Hamill is just incredible as the joker as always, and the gameplay is really good. I put it on hard and died a bit in the first predator room since I'm not too good a gamer but never once did I feel cheated or find it cheap, everytime I died I knew it was something I did or made a stupid mistake, which is something since normally I'm quick to blame the game. Without spoilers it's just a shame the final boss was what it was, so close to being a perfect game for me.

There's the big swoop over the lake that's mostly over a pathway I think, but not sure if there are nets. They could always put some eggs on top of them and pretend they are nests, and then riders would be looking at nests from their "flying dinosaur" as opposed to just nets.

^Wow the nostalgia, I remember riding this on its opening year,I think so far the only rides I ever missed out on were the Eye in the Sky and the massive slingshot with the tilting seats they used to have.

I mentioned it before when the map was released but here isthe official announcement for the upgrade to the K-Pop Hologram attraction, now called Live Hologram Theater:

^I'd add Surf Coaster at Yokohama to that list. It was my first ever Togo so I was expecting the worst but it was a lot of fun. Fujiyama as my second was kind of meh though, but maybe that's because it was the last I did out of Fuji's big 4.

You must be mistaken, I have yet to see a single post of Guy's that wasn't 100% true.

I feel like if it's being compared, it would be more a successor to Cheetah Hunt than Maverick. ^With it being a multi launch coaster i'd agree with that, although it is listed as a Blitz on RCDB, same as Maverick Yea and though I'd trust the actual manufacturers word over RCDB, if we were to go by that site, Cheetah Hunt is also listed as a "Blitz coaster" according to them. I think Sneaky above described it best, they are basically the same thing, just I still feel if we were to call this a "successor" to anything it would be the more family friendly Cheetah Hunt than comparing it to something as intense as Maverick. Or to quote TPR's Atlantis POV: Maverick was definitely supposed to be an aquatrax.

I suppose for safety conscious Japan this was inevitable but considering how much of the area this coaster zooms over, that must be a lot of net: Source

I've seen and tried a PB&J burger here in Korea, had a peanut butter coffee near the airbase once, but it was a trial and never saw it back on the menu.

I've only been on one Fabbri Spinner at Botton's Pleasure Beach and I really wasn't a fan of it, but I think it was one of the first built so hopefully they've improved since then. Kind of like the reverchon one's you see but felt a little rougher.

^Couldn't have asked for a better 50th update!

Love the music that they've been using in the trailers, I'm assuming it's the game theme as well. Simple but effective.

I think there may be some English tour-sites that you can use to book the pass if you're worried about language, there's definitely ones in Korean that do that my co-teachers have used. I'd book soon, like Elissa said they can run out before the park even opens and the 7 pass is now branched 3 ways, assuming you are going for Flying Dinosaur with the others going to Space Fantasy VR edition and Backdrop.

I feel like with the Iron Man ride being their version of Star Tours, it's more likely that HKDL would be home to a Marvel Land before a Star Wars Land.

^ I know that tends to be the signature shot for Kumba but wow that photo is THE signature shot, beautiful.

I don't think I'll ever be one of those people who cares enough to claim the first or last ride on anything but I would love to see the park try a raffle style for front seats on a new coaster one time so people who are genuine fans of the park with all sorts of income could enter: $1 enters your name once, $500 500 times etc. winners get admission included, just because 1) I bet there are genuinely people who would want to at least try and get that first ride in their home park and more importantly 2) wouldn't that style probably raise more money?

^ Thanks, checking out the actual tree Hex is based on was always on my to-do list before I left for Korea but I never got around to it.

Is it named that because it's close to the actual tree or just because of Alton Towers?

The news coverage on Pandas is slowly reaching Anchorman style levels of reporting as we get closer to opening day: Source Edit: Bonus adorable Panda footage [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew]

My Korean Samsung Gamer Yellow has held up pretty well so far but I think this one might finally be the killer game that won't run too fast. NL2 managed but I think once a park gets packed full of rides I'd need the graphics setting pretty low.

This is where my nerdiness and my time playing RCT as a kid shows. It's known as the Vertical Roller Coaster in RCT1 and the Vertical Drop Roller Coaster in RCT2. RCT2 is also when they finally decided to change the name of Whoa Belly to what it actually is in real life . Did they change it for the UK version? I have no memory of Whoa Belly when I played RCT1.
