The Official "TPR Japan Trip 2007" Thread
BarryH replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^I know R&E are very busy, so be patient and you will be rewarded! In the meantime, there are other great PTRs of the Japan trip you can see. You can also see my videos of the Japan trip on the Video board. -
Christmas Coaster Ideas. . .?
BarryH replied to Vffreak07's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'd go for Season Passes. When I was an Architecture major in college, people bought me all this architecture junk I never needed or wanted. -

^Where were you? I rode the Haunted Mansion twice on Sunday, 10/28 and I did not see you. I looked at the HM CMs and did not see your handsome face! -
^When I exit the car, the theme from "Shaft" will start playing. Thanks, Elissa!

It looks like I was in Orlando during the TPR craziness, but I was at MNSSHP on a different night! I did not see Mr. Skellington either! -
^^Just imagine...a Smartcar pulls up to the curb and 20 clowns jump out!

BAD Hotels/Motels near parks
BarryH replied to piers's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I can't remember the name of this hotel, but it was on I-192 in Kissimmee near the Super Wal-Mart. It was in the area of some very cheap hotels like the Record Motel or the Gator Motel. I think it was next to the Gator Motel. I got the room for $25/night and boy, it was cheap! The door was paper thin and I could hear the sounds of someone tiptoeing outside. The power outlet had a cheapie plastic multioutlet converter and had like 10 things plugged into it. It looked like it would blow up and spark at any time! I opened the refrigerator and it gave out a bad odor. The bathroom had no towels and had a paper mat by the tub. The whole room had a strange smell and I could taste dust from the room in the back of my throat. EDIT: The front desk had this strong smell of curry! -
TV, Movie writers say they will go on strike.
BarryH replied to BelizeIt's topic in Random, Random, Random
The last time there was a strike, TV shows like "Cops" and "America's Most Wanted" came to life. Perhaps we'll see more reality TV shows during the strike? *shudder* -
The bus stop at WDW is at the Transportation and Ticket Center. I looked into riding the bus to WDW from Universal Orlando, but it would take about 2 transfers and over an hour to get there. Unless you're on a tight budget, I'd recommend a taxi ($30-$40 one way), renting a car ($30-$40/day for a compact), or taking a reserved bus like Mears Transportation (around $16/person both ways).

orlando's universal parks vs. its busch parks???

^You and your friend can enter the single riders line together and hang out while you wait, but when you board, you'll fill up the first available single seat and will probably ride in different vehicles. -
Pointless new attractions
BarryH replied to DBru's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've seen it have a 25 minute wait during summer. I was quite surprised the Sneetches ride at IOA finally opened after so many years. I thought it would never open. -

^^If you do visit Sea World, the Sky Tower may not be open during your visit. 9 times out of 10 times during my visits, the Sky Tower is closed. -
^In past years, I believe the video had to be 3 years or younger. I remember Robb dropped the rule one year.

Great TR! We all have something that we'll never hear the end of. I have my poopy pants, Chuck has the red button... -
I hate to say it, but I agree with Wes! Most everyone's first car was some junk car they got for about $2,000 at the used car lot. Buy a junkie and be happy with it! I think you can get a Kia Rio for around $11,000. OK, so it's not a Porche, but it has four seats and a trunk!
