So let me get this right. There is no sinage as to not to take pictures of the monitors. Yet, CP allows their employees to reprimand a guest to the point of being kicked out? Now that is the definition of customer service.

I saw both F4 as well as Ocean's 13. F4 was an ok movie, much like the first. Jessica Alba looked much better in the first movie though. (Botox to the lips?) Ocean's 13 was great! There are some hidden one liners in there that are just hilarious!

That is just rather funny!

This was his way of taking the summer off. Hogan did the same thing for years. (god, how do I know that? Am I THAT much of a loser?)

This makes no sense. The following coasters were awarded ACE Coaster Classic plaques, but subsequent equipment, design, or operating procedures changes have made the coaster ineligible for ACE Coaster Classic status: Beastie. Paramount's Kings Island, Kings Mills, OH USA They will take their "award" away from a coaster due to a design change, in this case seat belts, but turning a train so that is operates backwards 10 years after it opens is ok to get an award? *Rubber stamp- ACE was here*

Ok, Bob Barker's ending line was to have your pet spayed or neutered at the end of the show. Can you imagine what Rosie-O-Fat's would be? "I'm gay because of guys like Donald Trump" "Tomorrow is Thursday, wear a green shirt" "Kill bucks, not beavers"

Funny you mention Waldameer. Memorial Day weekend 2005, I brought my family on the train for a late day ride before the fireworks started. That included my wife, 2 daughters, mom & dad. It is a rather relaxing ride around the waterpark, and my kids love being on a train. During the ride, I kept hearing a banging & rattling noise. It sounded like that there were rocks being thrown at the train. I get a little nervous due to not knowing where this noise is coming from. After looking all around us, I finally saw the culprit. A boy/ man (it was hard to tell) behind us a few seats with a handful of those white/ silver landscaping stones. Getting somewhat nervous since my kids were on the ride, I was able to get my dad's attention and we just sat and watched this guy for the rest of the ride. Apparently, we were not exactly sneaky in watching this guy and when we entered the tunnel, all we heard was the clunking of stones all around us and a whole lot of screaming, swearing etc. We got out of the tunnel and I checked my wife and kids to be sure they did not get hit and everyone was fine. Except the 10 year old girl directly behind us. She got whacked in the eye. It swelled up like a balloon and she started crying. Her sister did as well just because she did not know what to do. Feeling that I had to do something, I told my mom and wife that once the train stopped to take the kids, exit quickly and find security. Once the train stopped, the stones throwers jumped off the train and started running for the exit. But my father and I got in their way. All I was trying to do was hold them up enough till security got there. So of course here is myself (fat, unhealthy, white guy) preventing 4 other gentlemen from leaving the area. There was lots of screaming, swearing, threats, in-your-face yelling etc. I figured I was going to get into a fight, but heck, this little girl was injured for no reason. It could have been my kid. The cops finally got there and started to sort out the issue. I tried to not inflame an already intense situation discussing it with the police. I kept pointing to the guys that was throwing the rocks, and the cop kept asking me which one. I finally described the guy as "The african- american gentleman in the gray shirt." Their whole group (there was now at least 10 of them) started to scream that I was just being a racist, and I had no proof. The cops did finally escort the whole group, physically, from the park. It made for a nervous evening. Even during the fireworks, I was nervous of getting jumped in the parking lot. But the group was escorted out the East entrance, and my family was at the West entrance. Come to find out that the next morning there was an almost near riot situation (http://www.goerie.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050601/NEWS02/506010399&SearchID=73284736998588) at the park. It really sucks that this happened. I am from Erie, and my kids love fireworks. I just don't want to deal with that kind of crap again. Why do people have to act this way? Is it really their upbringing, or is it just the way society is today? The problem is though, it's not even the younger kids/ adults but even old, fat people in my age bracket. Why is it when people are being held responsible for their actions, there has to be some sort of fight, or the accusing party is then accused of being racist themselves? And this question goes out to all... What is a good age for kids to go off on their own in a park? Many have mentioned about parents treating the park like a babysitter, but when are kids old enough?

SoB ...with the loop.

Yes, I have been to a park on opening day. Have you had a baby yak on your TTD shirt?

Hello all! I've been checking out TPR for a few weeks now, and finally just got through all the trips that Rob & Elissa have been on- that is some great stuff! It makes my boring day job go by so much faster! Anyway, I live in Erie, PA, which is about 2.5 hours from CP and 5.5 hours from KI. I have been married for 7 years now, and my wife loves parks as much as I do. For many years now we have had both CP and KI season passes, but with CF acquisition, it got alot cheaper in '07. Don't forget that in 2008, Waldameer will be opening Ravine Flyer II. Construction is well on it's way, I'm sure I can figure out how to post some updated pics.

Don't forget in January 2008, you will need a passport for re-entry back into the US for all types of travel. http://americanpassport.com/wha.html
