Ready the barf buckets...this is gonna get messy. Props to whomever can win this thing. Neat story though, and thanks for sharing.

Oh Great, Wise, and Humorous Title Fairy, it is finally time in my tumultuous and lively TPR tenure to ask for a custom title. I've thought long and hard and came up with...nothing. Perhaps the best title is one you choose and that I've truly earned. Given your sense of humor, I know I'm in a heap of trouble here, yet randomness would probably mean more than anything I could choose (then get tired of and second guess). Illustrious Title Fairy, my humorous fate is in your capable hands. Do with me as you will, and thank you for your time and consideration. Looking forward to the comical results. I humbly bow and take my leave.

I always enjoy a Jahan TR. It's just fun. This one's no exception.

This man has a burr in his saddle and has never tried full contact possum skinnin. Better 'n bingo on a Tuesday night, though it is kinda fun to watch 2 little old ladies fight over who really won that can of Jalepeno Easy Cheese. Nonesense aside, Tyler, I've enjoyed your videos thus far and get the feeling you were trying something new creatively to keep things interesting with this last one. Am I close? Mix things up a little instead of going with a typical formula? You do well with pacing, referencing song lyrics, and mixing in bits of the park and antics. You keep it light hearted and fun. Bottom line, the videos are entertaining. You're doing well. Keep up the good work.

I took another look at the GG pics and saw an umbrella and light post belonging to RR. If you're facing RR que, the umbrella and light post would be to your left, which means I had to be facing left, toward the boat channel to get the pic. This puts GG somewhere in the middle of the area before RR's que. Come to think of it, I read somewhere that the big bushy area near the round table was GG's spot. Based on picture position, this would make sense. I lucked out and got a pic of that area when looking at the boats in storage. If I can get at my parent's old pics and video of our trips to Disney World, Both Universals, and SFoG in the 90's, there will be more comparison shots for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for the kind words everybody.

That's some craziness with the lake. Wow... Yay for Kalahari! Thanks for putting this up.

I think my favorite aspect here is the Friends Family and Love Ones. It really does add a lot these updates. It helps you put faces to screennames and avatars too. Nicely done.

Coaster whoring just took on a whole new meaning. The Griffon "Big Boy Seat" just took on a new meaning. And the B&M rattle, might just be the surprise hit of the ride. Glean from those what you will. I'd probably do it, and would ride Georgia Scorcher or a Togo Death Machine, just to be a wise arse. Highly doubtful this would happen. H*ll, you can't even get me on most coasters fully clothed! Lol!

I must ride this. The tunnel entrance alone makes it worthwhile. Of course, the rest of the park is certainly must do. Thanks for putting this up and I still say you and Big Mike make a charming couple.

Ms. Kwebbel? I'd like you to meet Sir Topum Hat, a successful politician and industrialist. (Both likeable, but they creep me out.) Love the themeing and detail inside Plopsa. Very cool.

Why do I get the strange feeling there are people on this board who would take you up on said offer and gleefully bring the air mattress?

Hey that's great! Congrats you two. JimmyBo just proposed at the Phoenix Zoo? (I'm a little hazy here, but it was a great thread and video). Me, I'd love a Disney World wedding or Star Trek Experience wedding. How awesome would that be? The girlfriend isn't too keen on either, unfortunately, and Star Trek will be in the Nexus soon. Oh well. Cheers for theme park and unique weddings! Wow.

I'd be afraid to touch ANYTHING. One of those lobby chairs probably costs more than my car. Kidding aside, while it's not my style (mod/comtemporary guy), the hard work and craftsmenship is excellent. They have much to be proud of. Love the pool, particularly the ship inlay and the skull rock.

If this thing turns out anything like Goliath or Behemoth, it'll awesome to see it from all over the park. In a weird way, it has a tinge of Wildfire about it, the way it uses the terrain. Agreed on the 3 turnarounds being the "loops" referred to. Very cool all around.

Thumbs up man! Hmmm...methinks I should try this rapids since it's so highly recommended. You also have taught me something new today.

^ LOL! Scott, love your new avatar. EDIT: Had to come back and look at the avatar again. Awesome! PMW 4 eva!

Great stuff thus far Chuck! Cool to see Napoleon's Tomb and, honestly didn't know you could walk up inside the Arc De Triomph. You taught me something new today.

Love the gleeful look on KT's face before checking off Belgium. Just screams "WooHoo!" Enjoyed following the adventures in this thread and main one. Knew you all were pretty busy, so these were definately a treat. Glad everyone's home safe and sound. Cheers and best friends!

Neat to see this area, and the hovercraft. Love the "Ome Made Cakes".

I liked this De Efteling TR for several reasons: The impressive entrance (VERY unique with a hint of Giger) The different style seats on Python? (Resembling Corona mid-century modern chairs.) Bobbaan AND (total suprise here) the rapids. Also love the detail on the carousel house and elsewhere in the park. Thanks for posting these.

Ok, EVERY SINGLE CAPTION had me laughing. Great stuff! Robb, that Sony Cam looks similar to the model I use at work. Really really, sharp, clear view screen, right? If the two are the same, you have an excellent rig.

jamesdillaman, Lol! Understood and we're clear on that (said with big grin and appreciation). JZ, what great luck! vedved82491, that' why I said "possible"' and "could be". No worries. Agreed, all will be revealed in time.

Having never been to New Orleans, this was a real treat. So many great tv/movie references and agreed about the fountains. (Married with Children was the first thought.) The artwork for the floats and the detail in the church were both truly impressive. And the food... That Bayou burger sounds great, and also a fan of Old Bay. (Makes a good simple chicken rub). I would have told them I'd have a beer or two and think it over on the way to the strip club. Great TR!

I'm interested in Animal Crossing for the Wii. Loved the DS version and enjoyed the GameCube version. Also interested in Kid Icarus. KI and Metroid were 2 of my all time faves on NES. Pics credited to whoever put them up. Found on Google Search. Kid Icarus game screens. The original NES box and big cartridge.

First, my sympathies. Tough to lose a loved one. Yes, it does hurt that that person (or even pet) is gone, and yes it does take a while to heal. Just know you gave him the gift of friendship and had some good times together. Likely, you were there to support each other in the tough times. Whereever he is, I'm sure he's grateful for all the nice things you've done, the time you gave, and the laughs. When I lost a high school friend, it just took a while. But eventually, it didn't hurt as much, and it comforted me to think he was watching over me and still looking out for me. And boy do I ever need it! Even to this day. Take heart friend, time will heal. You'll know when things are ok again.
