I just had a vision of Robb in hot pink pants. Excuse me, I need to vomit for a few hours.

A Fallen Fellow A Fallen Falcon A Fallen Piece of Snow A Fallen Piece of Roof that Blew Off My House from the Tornado and Hit My Beautiful Car A Fallen Fallen

Great photos! So why did Elissa wear those hot pink pants to a lot of the Europe parks?

You can't see it unless you log in, BTW.

I'm too lazy to hit Photoshop, but my avatar would have taken a screenshot of Robb's butt crack from his 2001 video and had a corkscrew coaster come right out of the crack. Now that is some scary stuff!

If I recall, Robb went to X-Flight around when it first opened. When I visited SFWOA in 2001, I think there was gravel on the ground then.

I wanted to do "Six Flags Over Robb Alvey's Butt Crack," but that would be so horrific that people would be yelling and gouging their eyes out!

I think Hersheypark was supposed to get a Frequent Faller, but something happened between them and the ride manufacturer.

My brother had braces for years. They were doing well on his teeth until he ate pizza. Then part of the braces got all bent out of shape!

I'm excited about getting a kiss from Robb!

Here's my tentative Halloween plan: October 20: IOA/USF/HHN October 21: More Universal/HOS October 22: Universal or Cypress Gardens/Phobia October 23: WDW/MNSSHP

Here's the news from OrlandoSentinel.com: Kissimmee water park is sold, will close Sept. 5 Danielle De Pari | Sentinel Staff Writer Posted August 26, 2005 KISSIMMEE -- Water Mania, Kissimmee's first water park, will close on Labor Day. The family-owned company on West U.S. Highway 192 has been sold along with the Country Hearth Hotel next door. The 36-acre park, which has been a Kissimmee tourist destination since 1986, was owned by Gary and Randy Larson of Kissimmee. The hotel, formerly known as Larsons' Lodge, is on 9 acres and was owned by the brothers and other members of the Larson family. Both properties are being purchased by the same buyer. Closing is set for next month. "We did not put it up for sale; we were approached by buyers back in January," Vice President and co-owner Randy Larson said Thursday. Larson would not disclose the selling price or the buyer's identity. Nor would he say what the buyer plans to do with the property, which is across from the entrance to Celebration. He said the sale is not due to a lack of business. "We had our best July ever, and August has been good," senior Vice President and General Manager Robert Keane said. Water Mania employs 96 people -- 15 are full time and the rest are seasonal. The company plans to hold job fairs and place employees in other sectors of the tourism industry. Wet 'n Wild will hold a job fair on Sept. 5, Water Mania's last day of operation. Other employees will be given jobs in other companies owned by the Larsons, such as Eagles Wings, an athletic- and inspirational-products store in Kissimmee. The hotel had employed about 40 people, and all but 15 have found other employment since the company announced it was selling the hotel two months ago. Single-day and season passes for Water Mania may be redeemed for admission at Wet 'n Wild, the company said in a news release. Larson said he is proud that a family-owned company such as his has been able to be successful in the area's tourism industry for so long. "We're moving in a different direction," he said of his family's business interests. "But I'm proud we've competed for 20 years against some of the biggest attractions in the world." Larson said he and his family are planning some real-estate endeavors, but said that doesn't mean they may not return to the tourism industry. "We love tourism; we've been successful in it for 30 years," he said. "It's in our blood." Tim Hemphill, executive director of Osceola's Tourist Development Council, said the closing is sad because the Larson family and Water Mania are a part of the area's tourism legacy. "They will always be a part of the fabric of the tourism community, there is no doubt about it," he said. Throughout the years, Water Mania has worked with school districts across Central Florida, donating more than a quarter-million dollars to Parent Teacher Associations, Keane said.

I plan on going to DLP after the UK trip, but I might swing by Lisberg too. Now I have to figure out how to get from Lisberg to DLP...

Hey Derek, I flew from Orlando to Philly in July for like $170 over Southwest.

I was thinking of doing some sightseeing in London on the 19th.

I was planning on doing the HHN VIP tour on October 22, but maybe I need to change my dates.

I was checking airfare and it was $985 from RSW to LHR! I think I need to wait until buying airfare tickets.

What's up with this?

I got my passport about 3 years ago and it's good for 10 years.

I put my $150 in the mail today!

I concur

I have 3 rules: 1.) 1 track = 1 credit 2.) If it appears on www.rcdb.com, it's a credit 3.) Fair and carnival rides count once per carnival operator

I thought Goliath at SFMM was the most boring hypercoaster I've ever ridden. I hope SFOG's Goliath is a lot better!

No travelling by couch? Here's the first thing I thought of... I'm sure he meant Coach.

I would like to go to Disneyland Paris and Disney Studio Paris if there's time. I just have to figure out how much vacation time I can burn up for the trip. I can't buy vacation time like some lucky people! If I don't go to Silver Dollar City or Six Flags Great Adventure before the trip, I think I will hit my 300th coaster somewhere on the trip. I'm 5 away from #300. It must be...Vekoma goodness?
