I remember at WCB Tim mentioned how he really disliked the techno music and wanted to try something else. I mean, how many queues can we have with techno blasting all day long? Riddler's and Scream are enough to get in your head all day long.

^ It's difficult to really pay attention and hear each of the soundbytes one by one. I couldn't make some out because I was too excited to listen(plus with the lift hill clacking next to your ear, it's kind of hard to hear). I remember there's some girl that says "Who's Idea was this?" followed by a scream and then the "3-2-1GOGOGOGO!" The "Goiiinnng DOOOWWWNNN" is pretty obvious and then at the end where the guy is saying "This was one crazy insane experience, like Jekyll and Hyde yo". Those are the ones that I can remember. I couldn't make the other ones out.

This was already explained on page 19. There's a little list.

Well, when you're done with you're ride, there's still music and audio playing and then this guy says, " This was one craz, insane expereicne, it's like Jekyll and Hyde yo!" And it really was. I mean, I remember when I rode it without the audio. As everyone has said before, the audio really added to the ride experience. I mean, the heartbeat at the top just gets you going....dooooownnnn HAHAHA! couldn't help it.

You have to remember, this whole X2 campout was not only for TPR, but this was open to the General Public! They had about 200 spots reserved, and when Neal pulled out the list to check me in, I saw that there were no more than 50 people coming. This experience was shared by TPR members, The Boys and Girls Club and the GP. They were willing to really provide a great experience for EVERYONE! So, even if you weren't part of TPR, you would've still gotten the red carpet rolled out for you! We were just fortunate enought that Robb announced this to us here at TPR. I was actually surprised that when I was walking back to my car with all my sleeping gear, people asked me how the campout went. I thought no one knew, but people did. Some guy asked me if it was totally worth it, and when I told him how Amazing the night before was, he was almost kicking himself. I'm going to try to upload my pictures and videos later, but I got video of them transfering the trains( Train 2 for Train 1).

Oh wise and wonderful Title Fairy. If at all possible, may I have my Title changed to " Swimming in Martha Stewart's Fallopian Tubeage". I would appreciate and worship you greatly. *bows*

Actually, they were quite well with the security at X2 today. They had about...I would guess..10 security guards over at X2. Walking the line, at the entrance, at the exit, at the grouping, at the separation. You name it, security was there. fixed it. I just got home about an hour ago. I am DEAD! I rode X2 a total of 20 times! I didn't even go on any other ride. It seems that every time I have gone to SFMM in the past 6 months, my experience gets better and better. They really have a great management team there, and the employees are pleasant and look happy to work there. Night Time ERT on X2 was AMAZING as I posted before. And the fact that we all got to have a Flashpass for X2 for the ENTIRE DAY today was just...the icing on the cake to a great experience on X2. The musical selection goes well with the ride, especially the added sound effects they have and sayings. The fog, the fire, the mist, the lights, and the " Back Row, inside seat that is smoother than Scream" did NOT dissapoint. Sure, there were times where I felt like my back had been rearanged, but not as bad as the Old X. At times, the dispatching was perfect. One train left, and another would be arriving in, just in time. They really chose great employees to work this fast-paced environment. For those of you that whinned about the $50 price being overpriced, wow...did you miss out! I understand that it is quite pricey, but let's see what we got for $50 shall we: 1) Overnight parking(hey, if you want to pay $15 a day, fine by me!) 2) Night Time ERT for a good 90 minutes. 3) Doughnuts, coffee, soda, and internet all provided with great hospitality. 4) Park entrance the next day.(a $26.99 value online) 5) Breakfast(none of that cheapy stuff. They had biscuits and gravy ya'll!) 6) 20 minutes of morning ERT 7) UNLIMITED rides on X2 all day long!!!! I'd say the $50 was WELL spent! Today and yesterday was TOTALLY worth $50! THANK YOU to Jay, Neal, Tim and all the employees that worked late last night and hard today to accomodate us! Magic Mountain is on it's way to being a park that you WANT to visit!

HMMM.....what can I say?! X2 is AMAZING! I lost my voice from screaming so much! If you thought X was great You have NO IDEA what X2 has in store. Pictures and Video don't make up for it. Not only do we get Night ime ERT, but we're also getting snacks and I'm reporting to you at the NEW Cybercafe! Who EVER said $50.00 dollars was way overpriced, please, cry yourself to sleep, because this is an experience that NO ONE should miss! X2 ROCKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Viper has been running pretty well lately ever since the new paintjob. The last time I went on it, I sat on a wheel seat, so it was still rough, but the loops and the corkscrews were suprisingly not bad. Anyways, I'll be leaving my house in an hour or so, so I'll see ya'll tonight! Hey, how's the weather over there, anyone know?!

^ Have a good and safe flight!

Holy canoli! That's a boatload! So, I was watching Fox 11 and they were talking about how X2 is opening today and I was like UHHH WHAAAAT? But I guess it's media day today right? See Ya'll Tomorrow!

Well, I was dozing off to bed and I was thinking about something. Mind you, I was half asleep when I came up with this theory, so if it sounds absurd or stupid, blame it on the fact that I haven't gotten any sleep in 48 hours. 200 spots reserved for the X2 Campout at $50 dollars each...hmmm 200x50=10,000. Maybe those tunnels cost about $10,000 more or less....

The Duff Garden's Episode is the one that I was talking about called Selma's Choice.

^ ah, I saw that episode like 4 days ago! I LOVE THAT EPISODE! The name of the episode is "Selma's Choice". It was in the 4th Season DVD. That's also the episode that you learn about the SEVEN DUFS! Queasy, Surly, Remorseful, Tipsy, Sleazy, Edgy and....Dizzy I think.

OH JOEY! That's the best one!

SO, I was looking through Youtube and I found a POV of the Simpsons Ride. I don't know if it's the one in Hollywood or Orlando( I think it's Orlando) but here's the link if you want to see what the animation looks like. http://youtube.com/watch?v=hsMM-KH1TM8&feature=related ADMIN EDIT - You can embed a youtube video when you post by clicking "Video" pasting the URL then clicking "Video" again.

I went on the Employee Preview night, waited a little over 2 1/2 hours and came out kind of...sad? Much of the movements really reminded me of BTTF(Magie's part especially) and I really wasn't very pleased with the computer/ video game animation. If you need any more photos Robb, I've got some. I also have a video of the pre-show video( the one you took pictures of). What I did like about the ride though is that it felt a little more smoother than BTTF. Great PR Robb!

BAHAHA! Wes, your's was Great! The Spin Cycle! ahahaha! I can't stop laughing at it! I also liked the ejector seats! Ha, what a ride that would be!

How cute. They give you little gloves so you don't smugde the mirrors. Sunway Lagoon looks like such a fun place! Especially that bridge! Thanks for bringing this park up. I didn't even know something as beautiful like that existed in a place you really don't hear much about.

Compared to the hours I would be waiting in line just to get ONE ride on it....yeah...I'd pay 50 dollars over and over again.

So, when I waited 28 hours on the streets of Hollywood to get a 20 dollar tattoo from Kat Von D, after all the drama that happened, and the fact that it was totally unorganized, I was so grateful and pleased that I went though that experience. I think that's what SFMM is trying to pull that off. The feeling tha you'll walk off a ride feeling like you accomplished something. Sure, $50 is a bit steep, and the fact that season pass holders aren't getting a discount is kind of...unfair(?), but you have to realize, Magic Mountain is ALLOWING you to experience this. I understand that last year it was totally free and all, but I think it's a great deal, especially for someone that doesn't have a season pass to SFMM( like me) or people that don't get to visit the park often. I mean, parking alone is 15 dollars just for one day. Then you have to pay for your entrance- 26.99 online. Then you have to think about the amount of money you spend on food, drinks, etc. Just 3.25 for a soda or 12.99 for a souvenier cup(or however much it is) plus refills. One slice of Pizza is like...8 or 9 dollars?! If you're rounding it off, you're spending almost the same amount in one day as you would for the Overnight sleep, Overnight Parking, Free Breakfast, and Park Entry the next day. Plus the fact that everything else if practically going to be at no wait at all. Hello Deja-Vu Credit!

Is the picnic area going to be the same area we were at for WCB or the Grand Pavilion area?

Yay, I just got my ticket in the mail for the X2 Campout! SFMM worked that one out FAST!

It was probably the same lady I talked to yesterday...Joanie I believe is her name. She was so sweet. My card was giving me problems and instead of putting me on hold for 20 minutes, she hung up, and called me back to tell me that it was approved. She was awesome!

YAY!!! I'm totally going to go watch it. You put it out to be such a great show this year, that I really want to see if you kept your word! Teehee!
