I have no witty comeback for that, so I'm resorting to emoticons.

^ totally, but you know what has to happen first.

Were you channeling RD while writing this update? but great update of a park I hope to someday visit.

They just had a news story on that guy, in cuffs walking through the water. I think I'm more surprised that it took this long for someone to go crawling over the coaster.

So so happy my secret Santa got their gift.

One of my neighbors in my apartment complex alerted me to having a package waiting for me. So I headed over to my apartment today, to pick it up. And lo and behold it was my secret santa gift. I think I know who you are. And thank you. The gifts are awesome. What is this? A box with my name on it? Can it be? Why, yes it is. Loved the wrapping paper. More paper to unwrap? Sure why not? Funny & adorable card, and my gifts all wrapped up. My gifts! The super awesome melting clock, the robot coin purse which is super fun and I love how it feels too, and some peppermint chapstick from the animated Rudolph special. So thank you secret Santa And hopefully my santa receives theirs soon. I reached out to him, and explained when I shipped it, so they know who I am, and I blame customs at this point.

My main gift this year was a laptop. Kind of unplanned but I picked it out. (just lost my job so I needed a laptop so I could potentially be a contractor.) Gift cards: target, old navy, Panera bread, Barnes and noble T-shirts with cool sayings A tardis hat, the grinch hat, and a couple other winter hats. doctor who yahtzee Printer ink Doctor who throw Gag gift: a game called doody head. A poster of the beekman boys. (winners of this seasons amazing race.)

Great photos Chris! Thanks for sharing them

Everyone's gifts are awesome! Don't know if mine arrived yet. I'm at my parents place, will be checking my apartment on Wednesday. Still don't think my secret Santa received theirs yet. :/

Still compulsively waiting to see if my Secret Santa gets their gift. I feel like it should be there by now, considering I've received things from the same country already that were mailed out a couple weeks after I mailed my thing out. (And I've sent other things to the same country, and they've been received.)

I too happened to like Roller Soaker. I've yet to be to the water park section of HP just because it's always insanely crowded.

I wouldn't mind a hotel room view like that. Looks great! And that Christmas shot of Europa was gorgeous!

I keep compulsively checking this thread to see if my secret santa received their gifts.

Looks pretty awesome. I'd definitely bowl a couple games there if I was in Disney. The last time I was at downtown Disney was in 2001, and I'm sure things have changed but it looks like a great addition to the area.

*facepalm* Ok, I'm going with as long as my secret Santa gets their gift before 2013 I'll be happy.

I think my secret Santa just ported theirs hasn't arrived yet. Which is starting to baffle me bc I've seen other things coming from my secret santas area.

I actually don't think I put secret santa on my stuff. I just used my name. I know on the box on the outside it was all my name. Now to remember if I actually included a card *facepalm* (I'm pretty sure I did because I remember writing out being a dork explaining why picked out all the gifts.)

^I don't feel so bad. This whole waiting game to see if my Santa got it, is so tense. Like I can guesstimate that it should be there, soon, but won't really know, lol.

I feel like a slacker. Everyone's gifts were wrapped all nicely, and all I was thinking about was fitting it into an appropriate box that I forgot to wrap my gifts for my santa But I'm hoping it has made it's way through Customs and is on it's way.

Great update Chad! The Christmas lights look absolutely stunning!

Parks are generally not that crowded that early in the season. Also depending on when the Easter Holiday falls in 2013, Great Adventure has been opening up the Thursday before Easter. Also the Luna Park/Deno's area tends to open up on Palm Sunday. If you are going to be around in late April Knoebel's opens the last weekend or so in April. But you can generally take when the parks are opening for the year in 2013 to get a good guestimate of when a park will open in 2014 as well. Seriously, skip SFA. The only good coaster there is Ride of Steel, and you want to go to KD, BGW, Great Adventure, and Coney Island, all of which are far far better than SFA.

I never got into RCT or No Limits, but this seems like something I would want to try out. I'm not sure I know what should be wanted into the game, but reading Robb's list a couple posts above seems like good things to include. But I guess for a complete simulation type game newbie, I'd be all for user intuitiveness. I don't want to spend hours trying to figure things out. I want to be able to plot and mess around and learn as I go, but don't want such a huge learning curve that it frustrates me.

Nemesis looks awesome!

is it bad I had great joy in ranking some of the worst wooden coaster I have ridden? --email removed for thread posting only------ LOCATION FOLLOWS THIS LINE (LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS) ~"Pennsylvania, USA" NAME FOLLOWS THIS LINE (LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS IN Ballot) ~"Nicole" RANK THE FOLLOWING RIDING SENSATIONS <-LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS Abrupt Airtime_____________________________,y,y,2 Floating Airtime___________________________,y,y,3 Lateral Forces_____________________________,y,y,5 Out of Control Feeling/Directional Changes_,y,y,4 Positive G's/Loops_________________________,y,y,6 Sensation of Speed_________________________,y,y,1 COASTER NAME PARK LOC <--Please leave this Boulder Dash Lake Compounce CT,y,n,3 Wildcat Lake Compounce CT,y,n,35 Wooden Warrior Quassy CT,y,n,5 Thunderbolt SF New England MA,y,n,33 Cyclone SF New England MA,y,n,32 Roar SF America MD,y,y,38 Wild One SF America MD,y,y,36 Excalibur Funtown USA ME,y,n,11 Yankee Cannonball Canobie Lake Park NH,y,n,31 El Toro SFGAd NJ,y,n,1 Rolling Thunder SFGAd NJ,y,n,39 Great White Wild Wheels Pier NJ,y,y,8 Cyclone Luna Park NY,y,y,6 Predator Darien Lake NY,y,y,45 Comet Great Escape NY,y,n,13 Jack Rabbit Seabreeze NY,y,y,12 Silver Comet Martin's Fantasy Is.

I would totally pay for that. Since it was usually us battling each other anyway!
