Matterhorn.

The lights on Tower of terror are blue?! Eff it. I'm never going to that park again. Take that Disney!

Haven't they been painting Xcelerator at the rate of about 2 square feet a month for the past few years?

^ Or you can just milk the cash cow until it dies...

It looks a lot better than it did. That's not saying much though.

Can you even see Knott's from the 5? It's never come into view for me until we got on Beach and started heading toward the park.

How do you sink a Carnival cruise ship? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Put it in the water!

Last one. I think.

The Incredible Express, a Wisdom Miner Mike, at John's Incredible Pizza in Roseville is just about 10 miles away from my home. I have never ridden it, nor do I ever intend to. When my twin grandsons get old enough, I'm sure they'll take a few spins on it if it's still around.

Kim Jong-il is rolling in his grave...

In the same vein...

The comparison between Manta and Pointless Express would be about the rough equivalent of comparing a full-spread Thanksgiving dinner to a convenience store hot dog with a bag of chips. I mean, yeah they're both in the same general category, (coaster vs coaster and food vs food) but in each case one is a vastly more complete experience than the other.

I'm just glad that I won't have to listen to Shannon Sharpe attempt to speak for the next several months.

I guess no one asked him to take photos.

Aren't all these patents where the Chinese come up with their inspiration?

I got into several more towns today, but still have many more that say they need the update. This is, as you know full well, despite the fact that I know most have been updated. At least I got enough valentines to buy the tree today. The only towns that haven't had valentines to click on so far were Robb's and Elissa's.

Can you please send me the secret decoder ring that is obviously required to decipher that post?

Only in a TPR video would you see a kid wearing a Fez on a coaster. I love it.

I can't imagine anyone missing Innoventions very much. I'd miss it about as much as I'd miss a Best Buy that closed.

I'm able to visit some friends' Springfields, but not others. Some have probably not done the update yet, but even some that have indicated that they have done the update still show as not having been updated. I imagine it will all synch up soon. And thanks to all those that have added me.

I got a hedge today.

At least they didn't add "YOLO" to the logo.
