Good luck to all of you who applied for the commercial shoot! Even if I was free that day, I don't think they'd pick me. Hope at least someone from TPR gets picked so we can hear about the commercial shoot!

My best friend's cover of Payphone by Maroon 5.

^I'm glad she's okay now! That's terrible! I've been with someone before when they had a seizure and had to call 911. It was very scary and nerve-wracking even though I didn't know the guy very well. I can imagine it must be even more terrifying having that happen to a parent. I hope she's okay. Did you take her to the ER?

I'm not good with knowing my G-forces stats but based on what others have said and the most-memorably extreme incidences for me this is what I'll say: + : Pretzel loop of Tatsu - : That extreme ejector hill on El Toro <> : So far no one has mentioned any fair rides but the Orbiter always blows me away with its forcefulness. Not sure if this would count as lateral or positive though.

No, but I want to learn whenever I have the chance. Have you ever been whitewater rafting?

hahaha thanks? Well you have THIS that's much closer to you than me! I'd KILL to go to this thing. Kings Dominion + some of my top favorite bands = WEEKEND OF AWESOMENESS. There's another one at Kings Island too that similar in awesomeness, but if I had to choose I think I'd go to this one.

Nope! From California but don't know how to surf and don't live by the beach. Unless you count lake beaches, haha! Do you know how to snowboard?

This weekend: Free concert in Sacramento with Thousand Foot Krutch (my favorite band!), Skillet, and TobyMac and Luis Palau as a speaker. He's like the Billy Graham of Latin America so not only will it be amazing concert-wise, but it will probably be a great spiritual experience for me as well! Next weekend: GOIN DOWN 2 RIDEZ TEH SUPERMANZ!!

Yes, but only if I've gotten the major credits first and re-ridden all I wanted to re-ride. Do you count powered coasters as credits?

Super cool seeing the behind-the-scenes of the Big Mike Roadshow! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

^^Yeah I've been wondering the same thing! Do they have someone at the entrance to the ride checking wristbands? Does it stay pretty much just season passholders or do quite a few non-passholders trickle through? Since SFDK is known for its high amount of season pass sales, I have a feeling lines that day won't be much better than the "official" opening.

No, at least not any circumstances I can recall. Do you currently have more than 3 tabs open on your internet browser?

OMG Nine Lashes is such a great up-and-coming band. I hope I can see them live soon. Did you first get into them because of the song with Trevor McNevan? Gonna play that song now: Adrenaline--Nine Lashes ft. Trevor McNevan I just decided to check them out, and I love them. I know they just released their debut a few months ago and it'll be a while before a new one is released, but I hope it's as hard as their songs like Our Darkest Day, The Void, and Anthem of the Lonely. Not sure if you could call it their debut, there's an album before it but it may be an unsigned album. I actually had to "special order" that album from them because I wanted a physical CD rather than an mp3. "Special order" consisted of my commenting the band's Facebook asking where I could get it, them saying there wasn't anywhere to buy it but I could get it by e-mailing the band and doing a PayPal transaction, haha! Listening to "Coldfront Heatstroke" by Capital Lights. I haven't really followed this band very well because their style is lighter than I usually like but this song is so sweet.

No, but I think I've at least driven through more than half. Is the temperature in the triple-digits where you live?

Yep those are all the 9 I got! Your ducky #9 was also the one I almost missed (besides the obvious one I wasn't sure counted at first). I knew I was missing something and PORED over the pictures and on the last search before I was going to give up I finally saw that one! Once I saw it I was like, "DUH!" but I somehow missed it all the times before that! Big Mike: I "liked" the kitty page! Hope the kitties all get saved! <3

Song stuck in head: "The Worm and the Bird" by The Used "He crawls like a worm from a birrddd!!" haha it's so catchy!

^ & ^^^^ At the risk of beating a dead horse, which bands in particular did you all listen to? Christian rock is a very wide genre that encompasses basically all Contemporary Christian music besides stuff that obviously fits elsewhere (like Gospel). There's much of it I don't care for either and understand can be very annoying, but some of it just doesn't fit that description from my perspective. Feel free to message me the band names if you remember any of them. As I said, I'm just really curious which ones you're referring to and you definitely have every right to hate the genre if it just doesn't appeal to you.

This And this. xD I just got back from seeing the Avengers too. I didn't really like the first half of the movie and was starting to think, "Really? This is what everyone is on about?" but the 2nd half made up for it and was more what I expected. I never liked the Hulk before but the way they portrayed him in this movie + Mark Ruffalo = Question... which villain is the one at the end with the red face? Did anyone else stay through the entire credits? Shawarma date.

No... I think?? Have you seen The Avengers?

^Glad you had a great trip! That's strange you found Roar rougher than Kong. When I went earlier this year, I thought Kong was literally on KILL MODE it was so rough. Roar has gotten rougher over the years but I think it's still an enjoyable ride. TBH I haven't ridden Boomerang in a few years because it's probably my least-favorite coaster at SFDK and sometimes it can be pretty rough as well. I agree with you that V2 is a really great coaster! It's also nice that V2 rarely has long lines.

Thanks for the elephant close-up Angry-Gumball! I've seen the picture on pg. 478 before but I never would have noticed the elephant. It's kinda cute. Idk if they'd build the entire theme of the coaster around a leftover elephant, but you never know. I'm really curious to know where Robb got the name "Coaster Man Dumping Waffle." Totally golden, you should copyright that.

No (*knock on wood) Have you ever needed stitches?

LOVE THIS PHOTO> I hope I get a chance to ride this someday!

Does anyone have a picture of this mysterious elephant? I saw you guys talking about it a few pages back and I've been semi-following this thread and no elephant have I spotted.
