I got to dig up your Dollywood TR and find the hotel that you stayed. All I need is a bed and shower really. But a hotel for $20? It better not be a Roach Motel!

For some reason, I imagined the giraffe was the one from "Madagascar."

I got a survey from Dollywood a few days ago. It asked me about my lodging preferences and what activities I liked to do on my vacation. Will there be an onsite Dollywood hotel built in the future? If so, my guess it will be a 3 to 4 star hotel and rooms will be at least $200. I don't think you can find a hotel for less than $50 in the Pigeon Forge area. For my time, I got a free complimentary one-day Dollywood ticket! Woo-hoo! I'm supposed to get it in the mail in 2 weeks.

Hmmm...$20 million willb uy you a nice B&M, a GCI woodie, or an Intain woodie! Oh well, the sad thing is that I will probably ride the "new and improved" SOB to see what it's like and then after the ride, I will cruse the day when I wanted to ride it.

Heck, I say go to CP. There are, what, over 70 other rides to enjoy? Also, if you go during a weekday during the first week or two of operation, you would think that you would have the whole park to yourself.

I don't know how SFGAdv would check. Usually, Six Flags Season Passes have "Six Flags" in big words and then the rest in tiny words. I know my SFOG SP from last year had "Six Flags" in big fonts and "Over Georgia" in tiny fonts.

Sorry, Ryan can't have kids then.

^There was also the girl who choked on gum while riding Raging Bull. It had nothing to do with the ride, though.

Jeff Johnston must have written the article since it counted Drop Zone as a coaster.

^The world hasn't ended yet, but a dude on the street keeps on walking around with a sign saying, "The end is near!" The world will truly end when KidTums and Ryan King get married!

I think the world will end when we find a smooth Vekoma coaster.

Great photos! I haven't seen IOA that crowded in a while. I guess the summer crowds will come soon.

^You better use Search first or Wes will put the Big Ass Lock on your thread!

^I thought we were all part of the Tommy Westphall Universe.

Let's see... "Pound-It Man and Tatsu Guy" It sounds like a bad Marvel Team-Up!

Yeah, it's like at Wal-Mart where you can buy one Timecop DVD for $8 for two for $10. I'm not sure if I want 1 Timecop, though.

^OK, I'm breaking out the Speedo.

I thought Erik Johnston would take over TPR when R&E can't do it anymore.

I got my t-shirts on Thursday. Whoo-hoo! They look great. I haven't tried them on to take sexy poses. I'm not sure if anyone wants to see me in sexy poses, though.

Spider-Man 3: 9/10 I saw "Spider-Man 3" yesterday and I thought it was excellent, although it seemed to jump around a bit during the first third of the movie. The Sandman got the Mr. Freeze treatment and became a sympathetic character. There wasn't much to the Sandman in the comics -- he was just a thug with sand-shifting powers. The movie gave him more depth. BTW, the sound went out when Harry Osborn and his butler had a heart-to-heart talk. Can anyone PM me and tell me what happened? I read a bit on Wikipedia, but what happened during the loss of sound?

Wow! That's a lot of fish sticks! I've never seen a combo bow/fishing pole before.

Great photos! I'm hoping to visit SFOG and Lake Winnie this summer.

^^I never knew that. Now I can use music in my videos without sweating over it. Now I know...and knowing is half the battle! Gggggggggggggggiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Heck, everything seems to be pirated and knocked off in China, so why would a Disney park be any different? But still, the Disney knock-off park has a bigger castle than Disneyland's.

Sadly, I think most people think the Middle East is like Iraq and Iran, where people burn American flags. I'm sure other areas of the Middle East aren't like that. I've never been the Dubai, but I'm interested in visiting when Universal opens their park.
