It looks like you had fun on the wet, wet day! Did you go on any water rides?

I see you and your boyfriend Wonderpup had a good time at Busch Gardens today.

If I wasn't fighting a cold, I could think clearly and maybe win one of these contests. Now all I can do is be confused and put my fingers in a shape of an "L" on my forehead.

I think Big Mike is going to strip clubs during his Road Show... Coasters by day, strippers by night... Actually, I did think of doing a "roller coaster and strip club" tour. By day...roller coasters! By night...strippers! Even Sandusky has a nudie bar. I can't vouch for the quality though.

I wonder if the load times will be as slow as they were with the PTC trains. This is the only wooden coaster where the ride ops check the seat belts and lap bars separately.

^I hurt both hands.

The last time I rode Gwazi was in March 2010. My date wanted to ride it. It was the last coaster of the day. We rode it and she got a headache. I missed out on some sex too. Damn, you, Gwazi! I might be at Busch Gardens next weekend. I might ride Gwazi again to see what the new trains are like!

Personally, they should play TPR videos in the queue.

Great photos! There was a 4 hour wait on Big Thunder Mountain? I would have never thought. The line moves rather quickly on it. I suppose they were out of Fast Passes too. I wonder about the family that stood in line... Friend: "Well, what did you do at the Magic Kingdom?" Dad: "Well, we rode two rides in 8 hours. We were in 4 hour lines for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Space Mountain." Friend: "Holy cow!"

Dee Synder looks a lot better now than he did in the 1980s!

Well, I stood in a Forbidden Journey line for 30 minutes. I saw a 150 minute wait for the ride once. I used the single riders line and waited less than 5 minutes.

This would be a good game to play while waiting on line for Fuji-Q roller coasters. You can play the Santa Claw twice and you won't even be halfway through the line!

If Mythos become Harry Pottered, they better not take away the Bananna Gooey Cake! I am waiting for Marvel Super Hero Island to be rethemed as "Law & Order: The Island."

^^So I take it from the photo that the Big Mike show will be visiting strip clubs around the country? If so, where do I sign up? I so wanna go!

These burgers sound better than what Disney usually serves up at those counter service restaurants. Oddly, I only really eat at Cosmic Rays when I visit the Magic Kingdom. I don't think I'd order the "fried onion ringy dingy ding-a-ling dings." It just sounds too pervy.

Great photos! I would have liked to have seen Toxic Audio. They are a great a capella group out of Orlando. Maybe next time you two can be balloon holders. I would like to see both of you in those stylish garbage men outfits.

Hmm...the 1991 brouchure states an appearance by the Simpsons. Today, they are still on the air! Facinating!

So if there is a future TPR trip to the square states, we'll visit Lagoon Park in Utah and then Cowabunga Bay for sure!

I think snowmobiling would be more fun if you shot at each other with machine guns like in James Bond movies.

I have strange, sexual feelings towards Leslie Hall.

Regardless of how we feel about IOA's Wizarding World of Harry Potter, it did increase attendance by 36%. I've never seen a new ride or land increase attendance by that much.

I thought Big Bald Wolf was the best Arrow suspended coasters out there, but I'm not a fan of Arrow suspendeds. During my visit in 2004, I think I rode BBW once. It was fun, but not as fun as Apollo's Chariot in the back row. I must have rode Apollo's Chariot 20 times!

I would say the biggest disappointment is with IOA's Dragon's Challenge. Others have talked about the queue. I really am disappointed the re-ride door near the exit is closed. You can still re-ride without having to walk through the main entrance, but you still have to walk 3/4 of the queue.

^He probably took a photo of them and they broke.

Willie Nelson at Sea World? Wow! No really, I remember a while ago theme parks booked bands that made me say, "What? They're still alive?"
