I use Windows Vista, with Opera. The site loads and comes up perfectly!

^^ O.M.F.G! Dude, this park kicks some serious behind! and it's filled with things that have been kicking mah asssss!

- Favorite new coaster El Toro, Six Flags Great Adventure. Win ride filled with WIN!!!!! - Favorite new ride Ugh, so many where built that I like and forgot about. - Favorite new park I didn't really pay attention to this part of the scene. - Most memorable park moment If you're saying personally? Well, going to Kings Island in early April and arriving the find the park empty and wet after a rainstorm. EDIT: and also, me and my dad had several moments with a decent trip throughout the eastern midwest through August. - Most memorable coaster moment Same park, Kings Island, we had 2 1/2 hrs before closing and I got on 7 coasters in that period. Plus, rerides on FOF and Face/Off - Least favorite coaster Son of Beast, even at night the ride is terrible. Too bad's the loop is gone - Least favorite park Dorney Park, only because of the hill that park is built sideways on. It's annoying to walk up, down, up, down and over and over again to see and ride different rides. - Your favorite TPR moment (favorite post, trip report, video, whatever!) The East Coast trip was fun to follow and read. It looked like alot of fun. - The decade's biggest flop Hard Rock/Freestyle Music park - The worst meal you've had at a park Cheeseburger I had at HersheyPark, forgot where it was, but it was so dry and disgusting. I think it was near the waterpark, and towards Lightning Racer. - Best park turnaround Well, for some of the Six Flags parks they rebuilt and the chain reorganized decently enough. Not the best, but they've picked up and rebuilt. - What was the biggest trend of this past decade? I'd have to say the sudden burst of Rocket Coasters all over the US and Europe.

1. What are your initial thoughts? - Well, it seems interesting enough and has caught my attention and interest without saying. 2. Can you think of anything else we could be offering? Look, this doesn't need to be asked in my opinion. You (Robb) and Elissa work your asses off enough to make us happy and loved. I've been supporting the site with video purchases before the forum and store were even thoughts. That's how much I disagree with question. But, hey I'm not complaining, you have every right to ask. 3. Is this something that interests you? HELL YES! 4. Why would you NOT be interested in this? The price, but it's a common con. 5. Any additional feedback you can give us based on the information you see here. Well, it's a good gameplan and the features are certainly great. I mean, several coaster groups have similar plans and perks, but besides the price which is abit steep I find it to be excellent and neat to see. Hell, who I am to say otherwise? I've seen what you've done over the years, I've been with the site for along time (2001-02) and I feel this is a way I can give back along with store purchases. (I'm sorry if it's offtopic, but here it goes): Look, the message from me is that: You guys are the best, this is one of the best communities I've ever been apart of. I've met good friends and people on this forum, which I hope I'll meet on a future trip, I've watched this site grow so much and as I look back upon it. TPR has played a good portion of my teenage years, I was 11 years old when I came across TPR for the first time and then I was looking for POV's in a much more rough around the edges internet at that time. I love the site, and if this is the price of my support, I'll do anything to support it and see it thrive. Hell, you might even call me a semi-fanboy of the site. But heck, who am I to blame? This site and the people of the forums are simply magic, and my LARGE, and I MEAN LARGE 2nd family. I love you all, well, not that way (perverts and dirty minds beware!) But all and all, love the idea, I think it's grand and I fully support it. *gets off soapbox* THANK YOU!

Hey Big Man! Thanks for the card, I recieved it today! Now, I have the location of BM's World headquarters for future holiday cards, or for gifts! Thanks!

I still like how you and Robb dedicated an entire segment of a DVD for the wedding. I found it touching despite it being 5-6 minutes long. Short, but straight to the joyous point.

Id much rather see his time spent working on themeing and making the park better than waist time filming and editing a video for a small little ride. Criticism or not, that was harsh. Dude, it's his park, he'll take it as advice but regardless that didn't have tact at all. If the ride meant a milestone for the park, it's suffice to have a tribute. IMO.

How the heck do you upload screenshots to this website?? ' Because I've tried to upload them, and can't figure it out.

He also made custom Intamin Looper trains as well, I have them lying around my objdata folder. Just need to find the buggers

12 years with a DH, watching Halladay bat is going to be fun! I dunno WHY I find that amusing, I just do. Sorry. As for the Tigers in retrospect, we lost Granderson, Jackson and Polanco. I flipping hope that Austin Jackson is good, along with Scott Sizemore. We're going to need alot of luck and tact to win the division in 2010, after the epic fail of an implode this past September.

^^ That video was filled with some serious asskick.

Big Mike's the man can't be beat He's always there, facing the heat! Being fun or jamming, he's always there Roller Coasters and Big Mike! Such a pair! Here's my attempt at a cheer^ Here's to 500 pages! WOOT!

Aw man, looking at everything and seeing how good this could turn out has me psyched! It all looks excellent and worth seeing, only problem with it is....How I am going to get there to experience it? I'll find a way to, but for now everything is looking sharrrrrrrp!

^ Well, Magnum still has a considerable amount of airtime. The only problem that it causes MAJOR knee and waist pain!

^ Agreed. For some reason I wish real-life coaster makers would do more experimenting, but I doubt it. But, hey! That's what RCT2 is for right? Right?!

Monty Python?!

I think I may've already posted, but Robb's site. It was only Robb's at one point, I found it by looking up Roller Coasters and POVs sometime in late 2001. I found the Coaster Season VHS tapes, and fell in love with the videos and eventually the site. I came back everyday to see if they had updated the site, or released a brandnew tape. Maaaan, those were the days and can't believe I found them when I was a wee 6th grader. Now, I'm a tall and cruising College Freshman, man how the years go by.

Great Lakes Crossing mall in Pontiac has a Jeepers, and I remember the looks I got when I got the credit there. woo, boy. The stares from parents and the ride ops were freaking hilarious!

Hey Big man! I've got method #2 covered, add me to the list and let's hope the 2009 holidays are going well for everyone!!

I went on Manhattan Express once in 2005, and it was rough and bumpy but I didn't experience alot of pain. Some headbanging, but that was about it for me and my brother. The ride is so not worth 12.50, even without any lines. There was no one in line when we went on the ride, they really need to lower the price. HUGE turnoff and plus, it hurts!

^ I believe it's because of the backlash the Knott's idea got. Plus, since park authorities do read these forums quite often as well.

It's terribly embrassing to see that, including the countries up there with the USA. I weigh abit more then I like also, and I'm slowly trying to get rid of it over the course of the 09'-10' offseason. I want to be at least 30 pounds lighter by May 2010 when CP reopens. I just hope I can do it, and if not, 15 at least.

^ I think CP had like 7 woodern coasters during the 1920's, they came and went frequently, but they had quite a few.

It's a just a small....blank....margin and my custom user title. I fail

I'm probably going to begin either at Cedar Point or Kings Island like every other year in the past.
