^ Yea I definitely wouldn't call it little. lol Has anyone seen how much land this place has?! It's huge! The train goes pretty far away from the park so you could only imagine what else can go in that park. It would be nice to see some more nature type things back there in the Wilderness area.... since it's named "Wilderness" lol. I don't think there'll be a roller coaster comin though. For some reason, I don't think they should take that car ride attraction out of the front of the park. It looks nice and it matches with that part of the the park. It's nice and peaceful over there and I just don't see anything like a B&M going over there in the front of the park. Actually, I just read on Screamscape that Dolly is wanting to build an on-site resort and it's being planned right now. They're not ready to announce it yet but she wants it open within the next 2 or 3 years. She also in the future wants to broadcast a childrens show from the park too. If that happens I will DEFINITELY be in attendance at the resort!!!! lol That might be the next big news from D-Wood!

I really like this TR of Universal Orlando!!! #1. I didn't realize there was a Jurassic Park Discover Center either lol. It looks nice. Is there two routes in the Lost Continent area or something that I'm missing?! #2 Nice shot of the Hulk from that different view! Also I cant forget the DD pic takin from the other side of the statues lol. #3 Wow, those lines were ridiculous! I never seen the line come out of the DD. Jurassic River Adventure line was pretty bad last time I went but half way through we went into the single rider line and by passed a lot of waiting time! lol Popeye was pretty bad last time too but it didn't come out of the building either. Now Spiderman's line was like that last summer when I went and that was the longest wait! lol I was not too happy bout that, but the scenery inside the building made up for it lol. The Hulk line was bad last summer too and it soooo hot in there!!! #4 Where were those DD shirts at? I like those and I completely forgot to get me a DD shirt last time I was there. #5 What's up with the big ballon things in Universal Studios? lol #6 Those Krusty eyes happen to look pretty creepy lol

Yea, every now and then I'll get a little dizzy but not to the point of vomiting. Throught the rides I'm fine but afterward it will hit me as I'm exiting lol. Titan (SFOT) - My head was spinning sooo much. That was the last ride of the day and it had me quiet the whole way back to the hotel lol. Next summer I went again and rode it without any problems. Tennessee Tornado (Dollywood) - My first trip there I rode this first. The back was fine but the front had a lot of force! lol I heard all about it before I rode it but I didn't think it would be so powerful in the front lol. After I got off I was pretty dizzy but I tried to walk around the park like it wasn't bothering me..... Haven't rode the front of TT since then lol. Dueling Dragons: Ice (IOA) - When I rode it for the first time my head got banged up in the cobra roll and afterward I was dizzy but I was ok by the time I was in waiting in line for Fire lol.

^ lol I love the food!!!!! That was a really good TR of Dollywood! How did you like Tennessee Tornado? I ask because I don't think I saw you write about how it was. -
What got you interested in coasters?
ETapley0687 replied to thrillgeek's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was born like this! lol Literally! As far back as I can remember I've always loved them. When I was younger I was scared to ride them but still loved them. I didn't start riding EVERYTHING until I was maybe 9 when my dad forced me to get on the Zipper at a local carnival for my first time lol. Since then, I felt like I could ride anything and that's what I've been doing! I don't know, I guess I'm weird or something lol because it feels like it's a gene or something in my body that makes me love them so much. -

^ and about what month do you think this will happen? I'm coming to Orlando this summer but if I go to Universal while I'm down there depends on DD being open. Otherwise I might go to Disney. -
Hello everyone, I searched this and I didn't see anyone post this so I'm gonna post to let everyone know. Here's a list and simple description of everything that's coming on and what time it shows. I love when the Travel Channel does stuff like this! lol I'm sure I'm not the only one! Season of Disney: Samantha Brown’s Favorites - Friday, April 11th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT – Samantha Brown explores Disney’s best year-round attractions. When most people think of Disney, they think of the rides but there’s actually some really great food at Disney World as well as amazing shopping opportunities. Brown looks at the rides, food, shopping, characters, shows and parades at Disney World and Disneyland. Season of Disney: On a Dime - Friday, April 18th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT – Let’s say you watched the Favorites special and it’s convinced you that you need to book a trip to Disney World or Disneyland but money’s tight and you’re not sure you can afford it.

Season of Disney: Splurge! - Friday, April 25th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT – Maybe money’s not really an issue or you’re one of those people who loves to see how the other half lives.

Season of Disney: Royal Treatment - Friday, May 2 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Has a waterslide ever scared you?
ETapley0687 replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I say this all the time, but still to this day Bomb Bay at Wet N Wild Orlando has put the biggest fear in my heart lol. Everytime I get on it, I still get scared to the point I might back out (although I never backed out) lol. So I'm with the others who said Bomb Bay. Bomb Bay @ Wet N Wild Orlando -
OMG!!! It was at SFOT and it was La Vibora. It's the same roller coaster as the Screamin Delta Demon that was at Opryland. We waited for 2 hours! The only reason I stayed in line was because I haven't rode that ride in years since Opryland closed so it was a must ride lol. It was so horrible though, because it was ridiculously hot!

^ I love the Mountain Sidewinder!!!!! The perfect water/coaster ride lol! Can't wait till it gets warm enough to ride!!!! I LOVE DOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!!! lol
-
^ Yea I can back him up on this. Although Timber Tower is down the most, it isn't as bad as Deja Vu. It's only been down once or twice in all the trips I've been to Dollywood.... and those are countless lol.

Great TR!!! The park looks nice and you took some great pics. The park did look pretty full. I don't think I've ever been there when the lines are coming out of the rides actual line, not even for MM. So glad there is a connection now. Can't wait to go! How was the weather when you were there?

I like the new changes to the front page. I notice that the "what's new" link is gone which isn't a big deal since I didn't notice it. The font on the 7 links are bigger and some what don't exactly match the front page, BUT that's not a big deal and it probably won't mean much to others. I like that the "Park News, Trip Reports, Etc." is shorter now.

Nice TR man -
1. What do you find most useful about the front page? A: The Forum Updates on the right side of the page. 2. What do you find least useful about the front page? A: I don't know the name of it, but it's the panel at the bottom left side of the page. 3. Is anything on the front page confusing? A: No not really. 4. How far do you scroll down the front page looking for updates? A: I usually look at the first 5... If I haven't been on in awhile, I look at everything until I get to the last thing I saw last time I was online. 5. How often do you look at the front page? A: The front page is favorited, so that's the first thing i see everytime. Sometimes when I'm headed to the forums for a specific reason, I just click on the forum button and not bother to look at what's on the front page. 6. How often do you click on the "whatsnew" link? A: Unless I've been clicking on it and not realizing it, I would say I haven't used it. 7. What would you like to see added to the front page to make your visits to TPR better? A: I can't think of anything at the moment. Everything I "need" is on there already. 8. Anything else you would like to mention? Like any thing else you would like to see us add/change/leave alone/etc? A: Not at the moment. Hope this helps! BTW, I absolutely love this site! No Joke!

^ lol That was pretty wierd for me too... Actually for a second I felt sorry for it when it was sliding on the ice and stumbling lol. That would pretty much creep me crap out if i was on a ride and that came walking up to me! lol -

Thanks for the TR!!! It was great and I was delighted to see the RB and new part of the park. It looks like its nice but its not as "pretty" or "natural" looking as the rest of the park does. I'm sure it will over time though. Heading toward Tennessee Tornado it looks a little bare. Otherwise its good and i can't wait to go next weekend of the following weekend!!! lol
