The name "Disney". I certainly agree with your sentiment though.

I was planning on getting a gold flashpass for our group anyway, so half off just made this a completely awesome bargain for me. Thanks for all the great stuff you do for the TPR members!

No mention of Kobe Bryant riding Terminator just before the start of night ERT at TPR Termination day?

That's a very slick website. I was browsing the pictures and video section and found it odd that the second video has California Screamin' going through the loop backwards at :29 of the video. Kind of odd that they ran the video backwards.

Having audio, or not, didn't make a huge difference to me. The ride is plenty good enough to stand on its own and the additional effects are just icing on the cake.

It's really very simple. You scroll through a list of the available rides and select the one you want to ride. When your time to ride comes up (which won't be long with a Gold Q-bot) the unit will beep and vibrate. Take it to the designated Flashpass entrance for the ride and the attendant will scan it and let you enter the queue. When they scan it, that clears it and you are now able to select whatever you want to ride next. You can even select the same ride again if you want. You don't plan out any schedule at the start of the day. You simply select whatever you want to ride next as you go along through your day. If you change your mind and decide to schedule another ride, you just cancel the reservation you currently have and select another ride. Once you've used it to ride one or two rides you'll have it figured out and be thinking it's the most awesome thing ever. We didn't wait any more than 15 minutes for any ride on a VERY busy weekend day the last time I was at SFDK with the Gold Flashpass. I'd suggest that you try it. I think you'll feel it's well worth the money.

On a hot day, the line for the water rides (particularly White Water Safari) can be brutal. Flashpass is an absolute godsend for that ride. Seriously, it's worth the money for the rides. As for the shows, I guess it's a matter of how much priority you put on having the convenience of reserved good seats. For me, it's not worth $10 per person, per show. I simply check the show schedule brochures available near the park entrance and get to the show areas about 15-20 minutes before the show starts. I have never had a problem getting a decent seat. Unless there's some other perk I'm not aware of for reserving a show, then I just can't see the value in it for my particular circumstance.

As far as what may be closed, I can't say for sure, but I'd imagine all the rides should be running for a major holiday weekend like Labor Day weekend. Yes, with a gold flashpass you could easily get multiple re-rides on anything that has flashpass. SFDK's flashpass prices are really quite a bargain when compared with some of the more high profile Six Flags parks as well.

Gotta go with #6. In any event, it looks like that pole got all the love it could handle, and then some!

Is it a speaker?

Chain: Round Table. Local: Zelda's in downtown Sacramento.

Is it the worm hole that little green aliens come through? Seriously though, I'm completely stumped.

^ We have a winner!

There is nothing electrical about it, yet it's still "shocking".

No, it's not any part of a ball bearing. Hint: You may be shocked when you realize what it is.

No, not a wheel spacer either. In normal operation, it doesn't even rotate.

It's not a wheel at all.

Thanks for the benefit of the doubt. Ok, here's the next item:

By measuring pressure in the pitot tube.

^ Close enough. It's a shift drum for a motorcycle transmission.

You're the closest so far. Yes, it is part of a drive system. What part?

Just think, these people probably vote... Bonus points if you can name the park they're at. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQoB8HJjins&feature=related

Sorry, but both of those are incorrect. Looks like time for a hint: Think wheeled vehicle.

^ I used my SFDK season pass with parking at TPR Termination day at SFMM. I don't see any reason we couldn't use them at SFDK for the Bay Area bash, but I can't say that I know for sure.

No, and no.
