Considering what you pay to get into the park, $5 really isn't any more money. No one is forcing you to pay it or see the dinosaurs. I find it funny people will pay $5 for a Coke, $10 for a slice of pizza, and $15 to park on broken pavement, but they will complain tooth and nail about $5 to see dinosaurs.

Leslie Hall kind of turns me on.

I can see it now...Smurfs hypercoaster! Hey wait...FL is excluded from the sweepstakes? Whaaaa...?

^^Maybe the "Fat" video would be more appropriate.

^Could it be that "Law and Order: The Ride" is finally coming to Universal?

Man, I haven't been to Animal Kingdom since Everest was in soft opening. How long ago was that? Many, many years ago. Great photos! Oh, happy 18th birthday, Erik!

^^That makes me wonder...did the earthquake and tsuanmi totally destroy Fuji-Q? Please say yes!

Perhaps you should consider sending the big stuff to U.S. addresses only and smaller stuff (like brochures) to non-U.S. countries. It'll save you on postage and more money for more Oddventures! Maybe I should do my own Oddventure and hit the places you and Smisty miss. I should call it "Barry's Unusual Experiences," but I'm way too lazy.

Has Dan commented on this thread? I bet he is too busy reading e-mails. When Dan does get Facebook, we'll see him get a million Farmville request.

I like this unique look at a TPR trip.

Why does Dan need to be on Facebook whem MySpace works just as well? Do we want him to play Farmville or something?

I know a lot of people have it, but I would say It's a Small World. That's the ride most people think of when they think of WDW. But my personal favorite is Tower of Terror.

^"Mom, Larry is wearing a shirt with sleeves and smoking pot again! Make him stop!"

Great photos! I see Erik is a mini-golf enthusaist. I can see it now...he will count the number of mini-golf credits and make a geeky sign for his 100th credit. He will create a website called www.minigolfreview.com. Then he will set up Club MGR (Mini-Golf Review) and arrange for discounts at various mini-golf places. Finally, he will have mini-golf trips to numerous countries. The trips will have ERT and backstage tours!

^Is there anything else in the Brandenton area? I hope there is a mini-golf place somewhere. I know of two crappy strip clubs.

Great photos! I like the Florida Aquarium because I can stare at fish all day. I'm like, "Fishie, fishie, fishie, tee hee hee!" My nephew and niece enjoy the aquarium as well. What's up with the Charlie Poe book? I don't see what it has to do with fish. It looks quite creepy and I would have bought it.

^I was aiming for Memorial Day weekend. That's around when Sheikra and Manta officially opened.

At first, I really had no desire to go on a cruise. Now after seeing these photos, I want to go on a cruise!

Great photos! This area and coaster is sure to be Red Dawn Awesome!

Here's my top 5 wood and steel: Wood 1.) Thunderhead (Dollywood) 2.) Lightning Racer (Hersheypark) 3.) Boulder Dash (Lake Compounce) 4.) Phoenix (Knoebel's) 5.)

I've selective with my Facebook friends after my experience on MySpace. On my MySpace account, I used to add everyone. Then I got spam for porn, Viagara, cheap sunglasses, etc. I got tired of it and deleted the people I didn't know. Now on Facebook, I really only add people that I know or friends of friends. If I don't know you and you try to friend me, I'll send you a message saying "Do I know you?" If I don't get a response after a few days, I don't add you. Simple as that.

^I wouldn't put it above us Americans to sue over nacho sauce that is too spicy.

I want to go to Dubi now, if only to ride the Death Coaster. If Jeff Johnson goes around twice on it, will he count it as a bonus credit?

It's true about Halloween Horror Nights: http://www.ranker.com/list/the-13-dumbest-lawsuits-in-recent-history/williammtx I can't find the original article, but I remember it made big news a few years back.

^I used to pass by the Museum of Drag Racing when I drove back and forth to home when I was at UF. While in the Ocala area, be sure to drop by Cafe Risque.
