Electronic Arts announced this week that they are going to bring Madden to Wii this year Madden Wii WooHoo!!

EXACTLY! I don't hate the name, I don't really like it either, although I like it better than the Dolphin. Revolution was just fine, but I guess it didn't end in a "e" sound. X-box 360....eeee PS3.....eeee Nintendo Wii....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Really?? Bjoern, your just ants at a picnic

^ I agree, I was too!! I probably would have, If I had a pass. I have yet to ride the Kraken.

I now work in electronics, and I wonder how many people will ask me, " How much are you selling your Wii for??" " What do you get for a Wii??" " Do you have any Wii in stock??" " I'd like to buy a Wii" " Can I take a look at the Wii??" Oh you get the idea. P All "is the plural for Wii : Wii, Wiis, or Wiies?"

^ That's not the site, this is http://revolution.nintendo.com/ They just have to put a Wii, in place of revolution. I don't think Nintendo's pulling our chain, if they made up this whole story explaining the new name. Wii sounds like 'we,' which emphasizes that the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii." Nintendo spells "Wii" with two "i"s to create an image of players gathering together to play. The spelling also is intended to invoke the controllers the Wii uses. This is my favorite part : After announcing the name, some initial criticism was received from English speaking countries because Wii sounds like the English word "wee" or the phrase "wee wee", common euphemisms for urine or penis respectively. However, "wee" can also denote a meaning of "small", and Wii is the smallest console of the seventh generation. It can also be considered a homonym of English words denoting the first-person plural pronoun ("we") and a noise made when having fun ("wheeeeee!"). In other languages, Wii sounds similar to "yes" in French (oui), "good" in Japanese (いい, ii?) and "top" in Korean. In german speaking countries the console's name will be pronounced "vee". At least the slogan isn't : "It's good to touch your Wii" P All "Although that's not bad"

Or This??

^ Ok $249.89 at the lowest. I'm not kidding, I really can't fathom the concept that the big N would release the next gen. system, for around the same price as their hand held (DS Lite) But that's not to say they wont, the last 4 consoles did launch at $199.00. I just don't think it will happen with the Wii, but I have been known to be wrong every now and then we'll see. We only have less than 6 months to find out P All "C'mon Mario 128!!"

Change Scares me!! But it Sure looks purdy. I love it!! Also my Taiko's are not working, the original smilies are though. P All

Yet again nice PTR, I loved the videos. But Erik, I am a little offended that you have not participated in my "guess that toilet" game, after all I did it just for you. You didn't put any special game in your TR for me. Even though, you did seem to use a few "similar" shots for it. 8) I'll just consider that your nod to me. maybe it's just a coincidence, don't know. It's OK your still my dawg! Follow-up "It's still really F'n busy!" shot. Mandatory "look a this F'n crowd, all waiting to get in!" shot Gratuitous "Full Parking Lot" shot.

Careful with that blueberry beer, that's the "gateway " beer. 8) BTW what's up with this guy?? Is it Osama? or Bill the "Coasta-Wizard"???

^ That's what I heard too. although it would be nice at $200.00 I don't think it's gonna happen. Hell the DS lite is gonna be about $150.00, so I really don't see the Wii for anything under $299.99. But that's just me. P All

" I went up to this tough gangsta and he was like yo mutha f*#ka weeee!" "Yo I saw a kid in a wheelchair, he was going over a hill really fast and he was like, weeeee!" P All " Motherf*#ker Wii"

Its no secret that the Xbox360 and PS3 have much more impressive specs when it comes to graphics compared to the Wii. Which honestly doesn't bug me at all. I'd rather play a fun, innovative game with graphics a bit better than current-gen systems then play a game where the focus is on next-gen graphics. The Wii is gonna be 2 times as powerful as the GameCube, which if you remember GC was more powerful than PS2. So if you look at it like this, the most popular, highest selling console of this Gen. was not the most powerful. So There is hope for the Wii, I'm not worried, I'm gonna get mine, not to mention it will probably be about $300. less than PS3!! P All "can't wait to play with my Wii!!"

That's what I'm sayin' I made this joke back in December: "Erik Johnson is your source for anything IOA or USO, pictures, hours, Mythos menus, hell he can even tell you the toilet paper changing schedule in all the restrooms. He goes like every other day, just 'cause he broke his camera, dosn't mean he's not there right now" That always stuck in my head, and Erik kinda inspired me to do that game. So I expect him to get a damn near perfect score. Thanks to all who enjoyed my TR so far! P All

Your Welcome Thanks for checkin' it out. P All " I've got to get some sleep now"

Well that's it for the trip, I hope you enjoyed it and it wasn't too boring, I've noticed I got an overwhelming amount of reply's to it so far Thanks for all your support you jackasses. Now, for the first time ever ( for good reason) It's time to play. !!GUESS THAT TOILET!! Test your IOA/US knowledge, how well do you know your restrooms???? Fun and prizes ( no prizes ) for all!!!! The rules are simple, just guess the restroom that the toilets are from. Most of them have pics of the tile to help you out. The only hint I will give you is that I took some picture of something around all of the restrooms, except one, so that pic. is included below. They are from IOA and US. 5 toilets 5 points a piece Plus a 25 point bonus question!! Can you get a perfect score??? Can you get 100 points??? No stupid, you can only get 50!! What will your score be?? Only one way to find out. Let the Game Begin!!!! BTW yes, I know this game is completely silly, but how do you think I felt taking a bunch of pictures of toilets??? That was silly. Bonus!!! If you can guess where this hole is from, you get 25 bonus points!! ( hint: the wall is filled with them ) here's a hint, for one of them, but which one?? no. 5 tile no. 5 no. 4 tile no. 4 no. 3 tile no. 3 no. 2 tile no. 2 no. 1

Ok On to Universal, it was Mardi Gras, so there was a concert at the end of the night. Big $ Rich I don't know if most of you know who they are, but they country, for the most part. Some of their songs sound like normal country, some a little more rock and some just plain odd. Also they launched the career of Cowboy Troy, a 6'5" 250 lb. black rappin' cowboy, hick-hop, he calls it. Now for those of you who know me ( none of you do ) I'm not really into country, at all, but B n' R, I can handle. I didn't want anyone thinking I was a redneck, not that there's anything wrong with that , I'm just not. Anyway KC's mom is nut about them, and that's the reason she came, so as soon as we got in US she went to the stage area to wait, so she could get front row. Now that that's out of the way, on with the show. I like this shot, this will be the last one of the show. For as close as we where, most of my pictures sucked, it was dark and they moved around a lot. I did get some video too, it looks ok on the phone, but pretty grainy on the computer. last one of the colossus It's hard to fit him into the shot. Oh, whew, there he is, man that was a great Michael Jackson impression!! OMG!!! He just blew up!!!! Here comes Cowboy Troy The Band....YEEEHAWWWW! Seriously, the show was really good, I was pleased. lots of pyros, good light show. The best country show I've ever seen, also, the only country show I've ever seen. John Rich Big Kenny..of cooking with celebrities fame. Here they are Big $ Rich parade's over, the top of the floats looked great. time for the show. oh wait, skip back to the day, here's our front row view. All those hrs of waiting paid off, I hope she's happy. They finally let us out to run to the stage, skip ahead to the night. There you go. the video is better 'cause of the moans she was doing, really, she was all about it. but it is a short one, she started laughing. ..good girl, you know taken out of context, this pics might have got thrown of this post. and if anyone got too hot over those, I got 1 more for you to cool you off. ..eat those chips... ..that's it baby.. Oh Yeah..... While waiting the girls in front of us got nachos, they looked pretty good, so did the nachos, so I snapped of a few shots. The following pics are from a video I took of the one girl eating, it was pretty hot, but it's a 3gp file so I can't upload it. her KCs mom was still waiting, this is the only shot I got of her. and here we sat for a while.........a long while. Check out the black hole in the sun. It reminds me of Soundgarden. On the way back to the stage, we saw lil' jon. YEEEAYHHA!!!! What!! All the times I've been here this is the first time I saw this sign. Not sure why I took a pic of it? Thought it might come in handy some day. This was the end of the "sad and pathetic" line for MIB, yes it was still crowded. This would be the only ride on anything, we get at US. RotM was broke still/again when we passed by, and we weren't gonna wait an hour for anything else here. On to MIB, I think they added something new to the front, I just can't seem to place it. No really, they changed the "trick photo spot" around, look for it, it's cool. Still pretty freakin' busy here too. This was just gonna be another crowd shot, but I caught a crime in the act, can you see it???.........That's right , that old lady is trying to rob that girl for her dippin' dots, "gimme, those dots bitch! " On our way to Jaws, which we didn't go on 'cause of the hour wait, we got some Dippin' Dots, Yummayy! Oddly enough, this is the only Mardi Gras pic I got. oops, I spoke too soon, after the camel, he wanted to "cup" some mummy balls, I should have seen it coming. KC even wanted to get in on it, at least he's done with the balls. BAM!! ha, 2 of them!! bonus!! We at least went into the mummy store to see this guy,.....wait for it.... Unfortunatly, this was the only mummy we where gonna see today. But these guys where there to let us know Imhotep was not home right now..... Hey what's on that kid's hoodie???? On to see Imhotep !!!! WooHoo!!!! Here's the stage, area, AKA the Bat/Rat Run, Boneyard. Found 'em, here they are, not quite as bad as IOA, but still very busy. Where is all the people?? Ahh, that's more like it.

Ok coming up are the much talked about, E-Shots, never before seen pictures of the Hulk. Exclusive to TPR, for now, until somebody steals them and sells them. So enjoy them while you can!!!! KC had to stop for a drink, but now we're off to US, maybe it wont be so busy over there and we can ride more than 4 rides. OMFG, I think it was about 1:00 or 2:00 at this point and for every 1 person that was leaving, it looks like 3 are taking their place!! Indeed it does, you just have to wait 2 hrs for it. That's enough of this, we had a great 15 second ride on the ear fal, but we gotta go to US, it's too crowded here, but look at all the peeps leaving. but in line I did sneak one more possible E-shot of Hulk, which still wasn't running BTW, nor was it for quite a while. WHAT!! wow!, but still much faster than 75 min. WHAT!! sure am glad we can express it..... "Octor Doom Ear Fal" Did I mention, that it was still packed?? The good thing about Hulk breaking down, is we scored yet another fast pass, for our inconvenience!.....So....on to.... I also got a shot of our on-ride photo, I was doing my Signature Move "The Nap" I got 1 more E-shot, oooohhhhhhhh! This is the man, Carlos, he had the key to release the restraints and get us off of here. These two where working vigorously to get us off safely, or they where sent by "him" to keep an eye on me. No pictures indeed, I took this right after he said that, yeah, I really showed him. This Guy! be on the lookout for him he's a party pooper! then this guy came to ruin all the fun, "no pictures please" he said. Then she wanted to do it, she loved it!! Me, ...the girl next to us was looking at us funny while we were doing this. and we took fake on-ride pics...... KC It wasn't all bad, I got this E-shot. I call it "Expedition Lighthouse" ...it broke down and we were stuck here for about 20 min. there was 1 train in the launch tube, 1 in the station and ours, baking in the sun. Like this??......easy. the never seen Hulk track. You may ask yourself, how did I get so lucky to get so many good E-shots?? This is an E-shot for you, Derek, the always forgotten other vertical loop, complete with stairs and brakes!! I wasn't gonna use this one, but the trains moving so fast it's actually bending the seats...or my camera sucks. What about this? Sweeeet. the Hulk's patented "roaring" wheels, for all you wheel ass. enthusiast out there. ..huh? nice, right? Here's the first E-shot....wait, they get better.. This was the end of the "express pass" line, seriously!! Good Lord!! it's a good think we won those fast pass tix...

More Dragons!! One more "normal" shot before all the exclusive shots come up. I call this one Hulk's Penatration........I do?? On to the Hulk, for the 1st and only time today. these times were off by about 15 to 25 min. Bluto's Barge only 5 min...that's 'cause you can't take off your shoes anymore, who wants soggy feet all day?? not me. ...really ,really, likes them, we had to go. I have a few more, less tastefull pics of him and his lights, but I'll spare you all, your welcome. Hey, at least there not more balls. He really likes these things.. Now that we're full, time for the Hulk, after a quick stop to see KCs favorite lights in all of USR. A whole table full, and they were feeding, "gasp" KC wanted me to get a shot of his moms balls, I told you he loves 'em. and no TR would be complete without a pic of a Biggin'!! and "After" it sure was kinda tasty. For this, mmmmmmmmm..fried chicken arghghhhhhghghh....I call this the "before" shot Did I mention it was still freakin' busy?!?!? 15 min. in line, 15 min.!!! Here at the swank, Circus McGurkus!! You can see some guys working on the track for the new high speed Seuss thrill ride!! Oh, not here..... A gratuitous ASS shot, just for Erik!....now for some lunch!! Here we are sadly leaving our beasts, can you see the pain in our faces?? One more crappy pic, although you can see the trains this time. So 'cause of the game, we got 2 rides ( 1 on each side ) today. and they were great...Soren.... Some hot foot-choppin' cobra roll action!! In this crappy pic you can almost see the trains in the first drop.

Where were we? oh yeah. Wecome to JurASSic Park!! Back to the Show! ..this. whoever got closest in 3 tries won, since we're together, we both won. I played again with KCs mom to win fast passes for the Hulk! ..one of these tiny brooms ( BTW this pic is actual size ), to balance our dragon on and fling it about 25 ft. away into .... We each had 1 of these guys... I mean, The Dueling Dragons!! We played a game, right here to win a walk-on to the front row of the dragon of our choice. The Dueling Dragons!!...Oh wait.. Ahhhhhh!!!!...needless to say it was only 5 min. woo hoo! finally our first ride of the day!....next on to.... KC and I pretended that we were riding, because we didn't know how long the wait was yet...Wooooooh!! JP River Adventure, last time I was here the T-Rex wasn't, but he was back today!! BAM!! That's right baby! I almost forgot, we saw this guy in toon lagoon....you know what's coming. ..Then around the corner, into the bat-helix, cobra-pretzel, yogurt twist?!?!.....man I gotta ride this thing!! ..The jaw-dropping first drop... A shot of the massive lift hill.. For all you Pteranodon Flyers fans out there, you know who you are. I really got to get my daughter up here so I can get me that credit!!

I found this game online it's a bit silly, but if your a fan it's worth a look. They all have some special moves and of course, finishing moves. Watch out for Lois, she'll cut you up. The best thing is the boss at the end of arcade mode is none other than Ryu, from Street Fighter fame, or so I read, I only played for a little while. Anyway, check it out, if you want.

Remember everyone!!!! It’s really not about you or me. It’s about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything.

I know, It only got more crowded as the day progressed.

Thanks for stealing my thunder Erik. I wait a month to post my PTR and what do you do???? you just post a PRT of the same damn park, except you got a couple of Germans with you!! I'm just playin' no I'm not. Yes Yes I am, I guess the key phrase here is "I wait a month to post my PTR" I'm glad you guys had fun, too bad Soren missed out on DD. But now I'm defiantly gonna put the "guess that toilet game" in my TR, just for you, since you where just there, you should get a good score. My PTR should be done in another 4 hours, I can't see, it's hard to type. BTW, when are these new AP gonna be available, mine runs out in June, I want to look into the one with HHN and fast pass privileges. See Ya P All
