haha! A very entertaining video! -
That looks really good! Are you really 14? It looks quite impressive, especially if you are only 14. Keep us updated on here and on F/B as I want to see more of this film. How long will the finished product be?

I went out with a guy on Saturday and things went really well! We are going out again on Wednesday and there's a strong possibility that we will also see each other on Thursday!

I went to Warner Bros. Movie World's Halloween Fright Night last night, and while it was my second visit for this year, it was MUCH better than the first. Firstly, the night apparently had just under 2,000 people in the park, while my first visit (October 17th) apparently had 5,000. Tonight (October 31st) is apparently a sell out at around 8,000. The park was great, with the beginning of the night having a fair few actors around Main Street scaring guests. Of course, these actors seemed to disappear later into the evening, accept for one, who was chasing kids up and down the street. The fog throughout the park was thick and made guests (at times) have to put their hands out in front to stop them from running into other guests. The lights, however, were not as good as last year. I don't know why, but last year's lighting seemed to provide more 'wow' than this year's. The shows were really 'meh' this year. Firstly, the rock band was replaced with a stupid vampire show, which was so boring! The Nightmare House film was just two short films thrown together, which left some guests walking out before the second one even started! However, unlike last time, the projectionist fired up the chairs' air puffers right at the end and caused everyone to jump! While cool, it would have been even better if the effects were fired off when the film was at its scariest, not at the end. Superman Escape was running two trains and wait times weren't an issue. Road Runner was only running one, however, wait times were not an issue either. I didn't see Lethal Weapon because when we went over at 8:40pm the queue had already closed -- even though it was meant to close at 9pm and wait times for that ride hardly ever exceed 20 minutes. The mazes on the second visit were MUCH better, despite one. The Fun House was full of clowns and while I am not afraid of clowns, I did still jump in a few spots... and got chased out by a clown (8 out of 10)! The Bedlam Manor was also full of actors and they didn't just stand there like last time -- they were pretending to be wall hangings and dead people -- and really did cause everyone to scream just a little (9 out of 10). The Dragon Alley was very boring on my second visit. I did not see even one actor in the main room, and this type of maze really needs actors, otherwise you are just walking through a pitch-black maze (3 out of 10). What else? There's not much else to add. The night was great and next year's should be even better. However, it does get boring at around 10pm when the actors start disappearing and the guests depart. I think a show in the show stage is a must and more actors in the mazes is essential! Plus, I think we should keep Main Street for live music acts and use the show stage for any real 'shows'. I also am really angry that I missed the Thriller dance... Hope you enjoy the pictures!

James' 09 Season
ash.1111 replied to Team Thriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Amazing shots there James! The park looks amazing! Big coasters, big water rides, detailed theming! mmmm I'd love to go there one day. PS... did you guys have any alcohol at your 'party'? -
I'm on a diet, however, today I couldn't resist the temptation to have some Pepsi!

You've been given 30 days to live and now you must choose 5 things to do before you die. What will you choose? Here's mine: - Find a cure for death - Ride Kingda Ka - Ride an Italian - See New York City and LA - Visit Las Vegas and get drunk there What's yours?
-
"Six Fags - Magic Mount Him" ... CLASSIC! I'm depressed now! I so wanted to go on that trip
-
1) I'd ride every coaster on earth but wouldn't ever go on a sling-shot 2) Have had my works published in magazines and also used to do community radio 3) Enjoy the smell of airports/planes 4) I've thought about being the following at least once: flight attendant, pilot, cop, radio announcer, singer, stand-up comedian and I'm sure there's going to more to come... 5) I want to build a home theatre in my bedroom

I saw David Copperfield on Thursday night and it was amazing! Seriously, it was the best concert I've ever been to... if you can call it a 'concert'. It was entertaining, funny and unbelievable all at once! It was his 'An Intimate Evening Of Grand Illusion' show, which is the exact same as you would see in Las Vegas or anywhere else you see the show. I guess it was a shame that it didn't go longer than 1.5 hours, but it was still amazing nonetheless. It was funny to have watched YouTube videos of some of the acts from 5 years ago and still see them in his show, with the same backing music. If you love watching his acts on TV and are not short of cash, I would seriously recommend his show! I couldn't attach any photos because cameras weren't allowed inside.

Better Theming or More Track
ash.1111 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It depends. If I'm at a movie themed park and I ride a poorly-themed, but kick-ass ride, then I'd feel let down. In that case I'd prefer a well themed ride. However, if I'm just at your typical theme park then I would take a kick-ass ride over good theming. But both together would be just excellent. -
