You don´t like the WDW 25th Anniversery "cake" Castle design? Then look at this, the 5th Anniversery Castle at Disneyland Resort Paris in 1997. I think it looked not better. --Soeren 5th Anniversery Disneyland Resort Paris

Happy Birthday jobber73!

My favorite Theme Parks in Spain are Universal´s Port Aventura and Warner Bros. Movie World Madrid. I think this would be a good choice! --Soeren

I know what you are talking about. It is one part on the bonus DVD. Nevertheless, it was not filmed by Robb and Elissa. It is only one part of the final entries of the first Theme Park Review's coaster video contest. I think you can show your son the first and second DVD without any doubts. --Soeren p.s.: I like your funny avatar!!

Thanks for posting the videos. I have seen the sketches of Rita. I think the track is very short! Isn´t it? --Soeren

My DVD needed 7 days from Robb to Germany. I think it would take the same to post it to the UK! --Soeren

Great pictures. I really liked it. Thanks for posting. --Soeren

Westlife - Ain´t that a kick in the head

I had a Big Mac, fries, and a Coke.

YES Did you ever win a award for something?

What is your favorite TV-series? In the moment I really like CSI Las Vegas/Miami. I can not decide which one is better, but I think I like a little bit more CSI Las Vegas. --Soeren

I think some posts in this thread are very stupid, but I must remember it is the "Say Something Random" thread. :shock: --Soeren

How could I ever forget this. --Soeren "can´t wait riding limit" Schomburg

I saw G. von Hagnes Body Worlds exposition. Something is very interesting and something is very sick. I belive this exposition is not for everybody, because you need to have good nerves. --Soeren

Hey maliboomer, thanks for posting the video. Looks really nice. --Soeren

Thanks for posting the video. I really liked it. Rita looks nice. --Soeren

Soeren Schomburg´s comment on the Theme Park Review: Coaster Expedition Vol. 5 „Japan-A-Mania and more“. Today was a hard-working day and I was totally tired. As soon as I stepped out of my car, I got a strong feeling of relaxation and happiness. Then, I finally felt that the weekend has come. I have been longing to rest on my sofa ever since the week had started. It was just a regular day, until the moment I opened my post box. The surprise that I had in my hands, after I examined the post box, let the fatigue disappear immediately. I received a package from the USA that had crossed the long way over the Atlantic Ocean before it had reached my mailbox in Germany. The sender was Robb Alvey. Thus, the first thing that came to my mind, was to rush to my room and run the DVD with the new Coaster Expedition Volume 5 "Japan-A-Mania and More" on my computer. This was the first DVD from Theme Park Review that I had ever seen in my life. Up to now, I had only seen the downloadable videos. Therefore, I was looking forward to seeing everything from Robb´s and Elissa´s photo reviews in a video form. Right away, I put the first disc in the DVD-ROM and then I had the greatest time of my life watching the best theme park clips I had ever seen. Disc 1: Japan-A-Mania and MORE!!! The first disc has 22 titles. 1. Opening (It starts with a great variety of funny clips introducing Robb’s, Elissa’s and their friend Dan’s trip to Japan.) Then, at the next 13 segments, you will see some Japan Theme Parks that they have visited: 2. Tokyo Disney Resort (I have never visited TDR, but it looks like the trip would be worth it.) 3. Tobu Zoo (with the lovely looping Togo Crazy Mouse) 4. Yomiuriland 5. Fuji-Q 6. Toshimean / Tokyo Summerland (which had an awful nut breaking Top Spin. Robb really came to know that, because he actually felt it) - Robb, I hope everything is okay right now? :shock: 7. Universal Studios Japan 8. Expoland (looked like Walt Disney´s “creepy” Ghettoland) 9. Nara Dreamland 10. Nagashima Spaland 11. Hirakata 12. Parque Espana (which had the awesome Escalator Ride) 13. Joypolis / La Qua 14. Sea Paradise Cosmoworld (with some cool Boat Jumpers!!!) It looked like the guys had a lot of fun in Japan and I had the impression that it must have been an unbelievably impressing journey. After that you will see 7 segments with parks around the USA: 15. Segway Around The World (at Epcot, which you know from the TPR website) http://www.themeparkreview.com/videos/video.htm 16. Deep South Trip (Dollywood, Carowinds, Six Flags Over Georgia) 17. California Parks 18. Hersheypark 19. Castles N` Coasters 20. Texas Parks (with Robb´s incredible “Six Flags” dance at the end, you will like it) 21. Halloween in Florida (incl. “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Orlando, Disney´s “Not so scary Halloween Party”, Bush Gardens “Howl-O-Scream” and Seaworld´s “Halloween Spooktacular”) – and the 22. Closing sequence (featuring everything else they did in 2004) Running Time: 72 Minutes Disc 2: Coaster & Ride Footage 2004 The second disc also has 22 titles. Here, Robb Alvey takes us along for a great roller coaster ride, where you will find some good on-ride and off-ride videos of various roller coasters. You can see rides from the Japanese trip and from some coasters around the USA. At the next 15 segments you will see some Japanese coaster rides: 1. Title 2. La Qua 3. Tokyo Summerland 4. Sea Paradise / Cosmoworld 5. Expoland 6. Toshimaen 7. Tobu Zoo (with Elissas lovely looping Togo Crazy Mouse) 8. Nara Dreamland 9. Festival Gate 10. Fuji-Q 11. Yomiuriland (quote Robb: “Wet Footage is better than no Footage”) 12. Nagashima Spaland 13. Hirakata 14. Parque Espana (incl. the awesome Escalator Ride) 15. Tokyo Disneyland After that you will see 7 segments with some special coaster rides around the USA: 16. Dollywood´s Thunderhead 17. Sky Princess, William´s Grove Cyclone, Lake Winnie Cannonball 18. Journey to Atlantis (Sea World Orlando + California) 19. Super Star Limo (R.I.P. – Disneyland Resort) 20. Journey to the Center of the Earth (Tokyo Disneysea) 21. Pooh´s Hunny Hunt (Tokyo Disneyland) 22. Manhattan Express (On this ride you will hear most of the time a "peeeep", because Gregg was cursing on this very last rough ride.) Running Time: 80 Minutes DISC 3 - 2004 Coaster Video Contest - Winners and Final Entries The last DVD has 19 titles and shows all the winners and final entries of the first Theme Park Review's coaster video contest. I think it is a great idea to put all of these videos coming from all over the world on a bonus DVD: 1. Rainer Zische´s - Season 2003 2. Brett Kinney´s - Six Flags Great Adventure 3. Bernhard Wimmer´s - Coaster Season 2003 4. Hope Mc Arthur´s - Eprot 5. Nicolas Chavance´s - Weekend Airtime 2003 6. Thomas Owing´s - We Like To Party 7. Brian Shinsec´s Universal Orlando 8. Nick Wiley´s Knoebel´s 9. Nick Collin´s Warner Bros. Movie World Madrid 10. Jonathan Hawkin´s Carowinds Opening Day 11. Lian Schembri´s Wonderland Sydney 12. Andrew Hartman´s Holiday World 13. Jon LoCoco´s Knotts Berry Farm 14. Chris Battaglia´s Six Flags Darien Lake 15. Nick Collin´s Blackpool Pleasure Beach 16. Bernhard Wimmer´s Mirabilandia 17. Alan Martin and Phil Hart´s Carolina Coaster Classic 2003 18. Barry Hom´s Dania Beach Hurricane 19. Jonathan Hawkin´s Six Flags Over Gorgia Running Time: 68 Minutes All in all, I was completely amazed to see all these great clips on the DVD-Set. I got long-lasting impressions of the wonderful adventure of the Theme Parks . With the music selection to each video, Robb had exceeded all expectations. I could only advise everyone to buy this DVD-Set. Robb’s and Elissa’s work is excellent and I am already eager to get hold of the new Season 2004. Who knows, there might even be some pictures of me in it this time. I heard that some people complained about the price, but I think $ 30 is very reasonable for 3 DVD´s. After all, the videotape equipment is expensive and there has been a lot of time invested in cutting each and every video, as well as in mixing it with the appropriate music . So, as you can see this is very time-consumig and thus it should be worth paying for it. At the end I have to say: “Great work Robb and Elissa! Please show us more of this cool roller coaster stuff”. :check: Buy this fantastic DVD-Set, Buy it, Buy it... 8) --Soren Schomburg

I´ve never seen a firework at Epcot. My favorite would be "Wishes" at Disneyland Resort Paris. --Soeren

Great pictures. Thanks for posting . --Soeren

Great picture. I like the new Walt Disney World Castle design for Disneylands 50th event. It looks so glamorous. --Soeren

Yes, some of its plastinats looks awful. I think Dr. von Hagen is a mysterious person. I believe last year he made in England the first public dissection since the 19 Century, I think so. The Royal familie was not amused.The newspapers wrote a few weeks about this impossible event. --Soeren

We also have something like this here in Germany. Gunther von Hagens "Körperwelten" (Body Worlds). BODY WORLDS 2 will be at the: - (LOS ANGELES) California Science Center from January 29 to March 27, 2005 - (CHICAGO) Museum of Science and Industry from February 4 to September 5, 2005 - (CLEVELAND) Great Lakes Science Center from April 9 to September 18, 2005 The site: www.bodyworlds.com --Soeren The chess player. Gunther von Hagen and one of his plastinats.

They had changed the FastPass sign. I like the new design. --Soeren The old Main sign. The new FastPass sign.

Why not!? That sounds interesting. Then I want to ride Mario Karts. --Soeren

Hey T-Bo, thanks for posting this pictures. The new color on the trains looks great. I can´t wait to ride SM:M2. --Soeren
