  1. I think the best idea would be to come visit me in Ireland. I'll be Jack of the Lanterns where you can take photos with me! Thats the best suggestion I can give you! You can take a photo with me and be like "THATS HIM!" Plus, get night rides on Apollo, but it is the best at night. I've never been to BGW during Howl-O-Scream, so I can't tell you how crowded it'll be, just that I'll be working there.
  2. I've been considering doing the same for the ones in Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I wonder when their auditions are and what you've got to do for it! I'm so excited! Gonna scare the bejesus out of people. HORRAY!
  3. Kimberly Caldwell - American Idol Concert Ashanti - Disney World Lance Bass - Disney World Marie Osmond - Disney World The PreShow to Soarin' Guy President of Pixar Some BIG TIME French Actor Yeah, there are probably more but I can't think of them all. Most of them are from working at Disney World. I hosted Turtle Talk for quite a few famous people.
  4. So, I have this lovely digital camera that takes pictures with 5 Megapixels. I don't want to turn down my settings to take in its smaller setting. Thats why I own a 1 Gig card to hold mass pictures. So, I'm wondering how I can resize my pictures so I can post Photo TRs for here and other sites. HELP ME ALVEYS.

  5. Happy Birthday to MEEE and MattyboiTN. I went to SeaWorld and touch a Penguin, Dolphin, AND Stingray.
  6. The Living Seas is getting a redo starting August 21st, when it closes. OoOo...wouldn't you like new details.
  7. Was it this past Thursday? If so, did you see a Soarin' Cast Member and a Living Seas Cast Member playing a hand game just before the rope dropped before the park opened? If so, that was ME! Huzzah!. I was at Soarin' until 5:55 before going over to the Seas until 12:30 AM. Glad to hear your vacation was magnicient! I'm SO glad you loved Turtle Talk! YAY.
  8. I just got back from seeing the WORSE movie ever. Dark Water. Do not waste your hard earned money on it. Use it on something better. On a happier note though, SAW 2 comes out October 28th, I'm so excited! I LOVE SAW!
  9. Yeah, Ice Station Cool is down for refurbishment until Late 2005. It will reopen as "Club Cool." No official date has been set. Nor do I know what it will be exactly. I can't believe someone actually likes Beverly, unless I smelt sarcasm. That stuff was nasty! I tried to just to see what it was like, but knew it was horrid.
  10. I really enjoyed War of the Worlds. I was alittle touchy on the ending though. But definitely worth the money. Well done indeed. I really want to read the book now, infact, I think I might just do that. I haven't started once since I finished Harry Potter.
  11. I'm definitely going to go with Cedar Point, but I agree its hard to compare the two. Maybe comparing IoA to Magic Kingdom. Meh. I just went to IoA for the first time on Friday and it was AMAZING. I had so much fun! I'm working on a trip report for you kidds. I heart Hulk, Dragons, and Spiderman.
  12. I used to watch this show ALL the time as well. Its been awhile since I've seen an episode. It is definitely HILARIOUS. I always like Log Drop, the only with the spinning logs. If they'd put it on DVD, I'd buy it. Distraction is very funny as well. Is it still shown?
  13. Borg definitely was NOT that good. I've ridden Borg, Batwing, and Superman: Ultimate Flight at Gadv. Batwing was definitely the best. It was the most intense. The only thing S:UF had going was the pretzel roll. Borg was kinda boring. I've also done X-Flight, which is the same as Batwing. Go Batwing! [Edit] Called it Superman: Ultimate Escape and not Flight. Oops [/Edit]
  14. Its been awhile since I've been conceited and showed pictures of myself! HUZZAH. I have too much fun. Insert your own thoughts here...use your Imagination! There's more to sight, then meets the eye! Thank you Figment. Here's Trouble.
  15. All Star Resorts are closest to Animal Kingdom and MGM. Blizzard Beach is the closest Water Park. Typhoon Lagoon is across from Downtown Disney. Another thing to remember is to come visit Jeremy at the Living Seas and see Turtle Talk. Maybe I'll hook you up with instant fastpasses for Soarin, Tower of Terror, or Rock-n-Roller Coaster. YAY.
  16. Cypress Gardens June 17/19, 2005 On Thursday, I realized I had the day off on Friday with no plans. Orginally, I was suppose to attend Universal with my friend from work, but she had gone for the weekend back to the Virgin Islands. So, in my slow thought process, I decided to venture to Cypress Gardens! I realized that it wouldn’t take me all day to venture through the park, so I decided to sleep in, so I did until 12:30. How delightful! I head out by 1:30 and get to the park around 2:30. I hit some traffic on I-4 and a small rain shower. When I arrive at the park, I buy my ticket, with my AAA discount, making it $33 and change. Parking was $7. I immediately head to the rides area, of course. The first thing I encounter is construction on the new spinning coaster, Galaxy Spin. I meant to take a picture, but alas, I forgot. Sorry kids. All the track was there, that was about it. No footers, no nothing. Its being built right next to the Okeechobee Rampage coaster, which was the first one I rode. I went straight for the back seat, but I wasn’t expecting anything exciting. It was pleasant and relaxing. Immediately after, I headed back for the Triple Hurricane, the wooden coaster. Once again, I wasn’t expecting much thrills, but I decided if there was any to be had, it would be in the back. I was surprised, there was the feeling of airtime in the back, but didn’t occur, until the last hill! It was a great surprise. Loved it. From there, I ventured to the other rides, and saw a ride known as the Mega Bounce. It looked like fun, so I got in line. Yeah, it was definitely the opposite of fun. I could feel my spine getting bounced each time. That was the final time I’ll ever ride one of those again. Who created such a beast?! Terrorists. I bolted for a ride I had been looking forward to, the Disk-O. I LOVED the Disk-O. Its not the most thrilling ride but it was definitely enjoyable. It was a quite a change for the flat rides I ride at Disney or Kings Dominion. It was good times! I don’t know how I feel about the restraint system though. The ride-op told us to lean back and put our weight against the backbar. I didn’t find the comfortable once the ride started to spin, so I sat forward with my weight on the front thing. That ride up wanted me to force an enjoyable ride instead of just sitting and enjoy it. From there, I went over to their tower ride, Thunderbolt. Its been awhile since I’ve rode a drop tower. I’d say the last time was at the end of last season at Kings Dominion. I got a very slight nervousness buildup, but it didn’t last once we fell. The brakes it hard, much harder than Drop Zone, but it was still enjoyable. It was then time to head to the last section of the park. I first hit Pharaoh’s Fury, which was a swinging ship. I went with the back row of course, which had some nice floater action. Then I ventured over to Power Surge, the Zamperla ride. It was good times! I’ve never rode one before and it was crazy. I wish the restraints were more padded though, because my body was getting thrown around inside of the restraints. It was crazy. I sat in my own car, and I noticed that near the end of the ride, I had to upright my car so it would lock straight, instead of lopsided on my side. At this point, Swamp Thing wasn’t running, so I hit up Disk-O a few more times as well as Inverter, which I love them! The best seats are in the front, but they loaded us from the middle out, sadly. After I had done most the rides, I ventured into some of the gardens. The entrance was right near the Ski Stunt Show and I LOVED it inside there. I found a nice bench near the lake that just had an awesome breeze and was very relaxing. I think I sat there for 30 minutes just thinking about random thoughts and about how nice the area was. They started the stunt show so I watched part of it from there, until I realized I couldn’t really see anything good. I ventured through the rest of the garden, which was fantastic. I returned to the area and got a milkshake, which was delightful. Rode more Disk-O and Power Surge. Eventually Swamp Thing opened, which was boring and painful. Well, it was a credit. I ventured back for more Triple Hurricane rides as well as riding their Storm Surge, spinning raft ride. It was grand since I never did one before. I explored another garden, which was pretty crappy compared to the first place. I went to Guest Services to get a free 2nd day ticket for the next six days. I also had a complaint. When I was on the Disk-O, a little girl wanted to ride, so the operator (standing on the disk) tells her to stand near the height pole and clears her. She was DEFINITELY too short to ride. Then the op explains his method of riding by leaning back. This is a tiny girl that can’t even put her feet on the floor. During the ride, she was complaining how she can’t hold the bar back any further. The op almost hurt this poor girl, so I complained that they needed to check heights more actively. I rode the sky wheel thing, which went up 150 feet. It was very nice up there, and finally left the park around 7:30. It was a nice relaxing day. Today I worked 8-2:45 at the Living Seas. I had thought of going back to Cypress after work, since I had that free ticket that expired on Thursday. So, I decided to go. I enlisted the company of my friend Carrie from work as well! We arrived at the park around 5. We hit the sky wheel first. Then she was ready for some rides, so we did Okeechobee Rampage, Storm Surge, Triple Hurricane, and the other water ride, Wave Runner. She got soaked, I didn’t. Muhaha. I had to ride the Fiesta Express for the credit! It wasn't open on Friday! Then we did the crappy flyers, which didn’t fly. Then the Inverter, which she enjoyed. I couldn’t wait to do Disk-O again, which she also enjoyed. We did her favorite next, Thunderbolt aka Penis Tower. We did that three times. She was too large to ride Power Surge or Swamp Thing, which is okay. We did some more Disk-O, Pharoah’s Fury, Thunderbolt, Triple Hurricane, and Storm Surge. We also did the Tilt-A-Whirl which lasted FOREVER and we both jus wanted it to end. We finished the day on the Sky wheel again. It was a nice evening for four hours! She really loved the place. Her face hurt from laughing too much. Overall, great park. Definitely nice to escape the rush of the Disney crowds. I can’t wait to hit up Busch Gardens and Universal!

I would've took more pictures but I'm still getting used to my new camera and I need a bigger card size! Feel free to use the pictures of you'd like. Meh! THANKIES Jeremy Myself on the Fiesta Express...consider it a credit!!! Disk-O and Penis Tower! Yeah, bad picture of the Hurricane. Meh. Swamp Thing: It came from Vekomaaaa! Power Surge!!! Another view, mostly the same A look of the rides section from the Sky Wheel The awesome Disk-O!!!
  17. Okay, I've got a question about your last picture Socalman. The boy in teh blue shirt with those white sandel things, what are those? I see them everyday at Disney World and wonder who makes them and if they are actually confortable. If you ask me, they look painful. What the heck are they!
  18. Disney seems to need Pixar more. Since Eisner closed dow the animation part, Brother Bear was really the last big cartoon effort from them. Now everything is CGI. I hope things get better, because I LOVE Pixar movies, they are some of my favorites as well. KITTY! JELLYMAN! Dude. They rock.
  19. Well, I'll tell you my top 5 Steel and Wood, since its hard to compare between Wood: 1. Boulderdash 2. Cornball Express 3. Shivering Timbers 4. Raven 5. Legend Steel: 1. Superman: Ride of Steel (New England) 2. Phantom's Revenge 3. Top Thrill Dragster 4. Millennium Force 5. Nitro Man, I need to make a trip to some of those parks again, those rides were just TOO good!
  20. I think my sandals are still soggy after wading in the puddles, luckily I was smart, I had my poncho/jellyfish! I saddened that I didn't get to see you at Turtle Talk and was pulled to Soarin', but it was mighty awesome getting to work there for once! Dinner at Japan was AWESOME. It would've been great if we ALL got to sit together, but still grand. Food was EXCELLENT. Our chef was funny and talkative. He was just excited that some of us used Sony cameras. I can't wait to see the photos and TR, especially that "wet" photo at night.
  21. Guess I'll have to find the closest one to WDW as possible. Free donuts, I'm SO there. Minus the fact I've gotta work.
  22. I'm saddened that I didn't get to see you guys at the Sea. But it was a blast to see you all in Japan, hopefully our paths will cross again. Muhaha. I'll try not to get pulled to Soarin' next time.
  23. Well, here is a picture when I got to work somewhere OTHER than Seas for awhile. Although, I had to miss Robb and Elissa at the Seas for it. They pulled me to do Soarin' Stand-By Greeter. I look rather snazzy.
  24. I"ve been to Disney over 100 times, mostly Epcot though. My favorite ride is Tower of Terror and favorite show is Turtle Talk, I'm not biased.
  25. I'll be there for dinner! I get off work at 5:45, so I could hang for like an hour before dinner, but just need a meeting place. Remember to come visit Jeremy at the Living Seas from 9-5:45. Yay! Can't wait to meet everyone tomorrow!!!
