Photo TR: The Johnson's California Coasters Conquest
BarryH replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Great LV photos! How bad/good was Desperado? -
^^You can move back to Florida! EA has an office outside of Orlando! It's calling Robb!

I went on opening day when TTD first opened. TTD had a 4 hour line right at opening. I was one of the first to ride during their charity event. The rest of the coasters had less than a 15 minute wait for the first few hours of park opening. I assume on opening day, most people will run to Maverick first.

Great photos! I want to try the Crown Colony House one day.

$7000 for a sign? It doesn't look like it costs more than $700! ACE membership dollars at work! -

^Dear God, the next thing you know, they'll be taking the loop out of SOB and moving X-Flight to Kings Island. What, they did? Aw, crap! -
Maybe you should have went to MK instead.

I went to Carowinds on an April on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy. The longest wait was an hour for Borg Assimilator, but that was because it broke down. The waits for the other rides were around 5-10 minutes. I drove from Washington DC to PKD once and I believe it took me a bit over 3 hours.

Knott's Great America

"Knott's Great America"....will it too close when one drop of rain falls from the sky? I think Great America sounds fine to me. Don't fix what ain't broke! -
DVC is pretty much Disney's version of timeshare. I avoid timeshares like no one's business! I can usually vacation cheaper and have more flexibility using hotel discounts through AAA, Priceline, or Hotwire.

I don't like to recommend doing both Universal parks in one day, but it can be done. You'll have to miss a lot, though. I usually recommend 3 days for Universal (if this is your first visit): 1 for USF, 1 for IOA, and 1 to see your favorites or stuff you missed. Personally, I like Universal slightly more than Disney, but I don't feel a traitor if I visit one over the other. Heck, during my last trip, I went to the Pirates and Princesses Party at the Magic Kingdom, Discovery Cove, Crique de Soleli, Sea World, and Old Town. I didn't feel guilty or traitorous in visiting parks owned by different companies.

Wow, 6 wives and six kids! That's a lot of mouths to feed. How do you keep up with six wives? I think it's hard enough to keep up with one!

Haunted Mansion Refurb Dates
BarryH replied to jackskellington101's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I rode the Haunted Mansion during the Pirates and Princesses Party and it looked pretty bad! I don't remember seeing Leota's head on at all. The graveyard dude didn't move at all. The Haunted Mansion needs some TLC. A lot of Tomorrowland needed some TLC too. -
Gwarzi? Is that the roller coaster based on the band Gwar? Beavis and Butthead will love Gwarzi for sure! Can we see at least one of your 400 photos?

I still can't figure out why SFMM's Revolution is an ACE Coaster Landmark. My head banged on the OTSRs that my ears were sore!
