Myself and my crew of junior grease monkeys will be Taking The Tunnel! We look forward to seeing many TPR members there.

Clicking the green button on the right worked for me. Congrats on surviving the egg challenge!

Thanks, my brain hurts now.

Today was the busiest day I've ever witnessed at SFDK. We got the gold Q-bot Flashpass and it worked wonders. We never waited more than about 15 minutes for any of our favorite rides. I heard that Medusa's line was 2 hours. Just about every queue I saw all day long was full and using all switchbacks. I really do feel for all the people that waited in those crazy lines. Operations were running fairly smoothly and the staff we encountered were all friendly. The ops on THBS would high-five each of the riders as you were ready to be dispatched, and I can't count how many times an employee asked us how our day was going, or simply smiled and wished me happy Father's day.

You've heard of heaven, right? Well, that's what they eat there.

Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean, the day it opened after the addition of Jack Sparrow, Barbossa and Davey Jones. The line started on Main Street and wound through Frontierland before finally entering the actual Pirates queue. Cast members were telling guests it was a 3 hour line, but it actually only took us about 2 hours to get inside the building. The ride broke down when we had the boarding area in sight, and did not reopen. We rode it the next day with about an hour wait.

I would have taken Ice Bat again, but he's already spoken for. I'll pin (get the pun?) my hopes on Elissa. She's light, and if weight is a big factor, then that should help. If Elissa should win, I would decline accepting the prize since I already won an awesome BMRS button. I'm just playing for fun. Looking forward to more updates.

Wow, shooting from the hip actually works sometimes. I am deeply honored to have won and will wear the pin with great pride.

Wow, who knew Adam Sandler was into filming coasters?

I would like to nominate that as the best coaster video EVER.

I'll guess Ice Bat.

I'll guess Robin, the guy that gave you the pins.

Indeed!

The most challenging part of this will be convincing the public that the parks are still open. Plenty of people will read the headlines, "Six Flags Files For Bankruptcy", but not read far enough into an article to see that the operations will continue as usual. We've heard the stories for years now about people that think Magic Mountain was sold and closed, when in fact it was operating. News like this can't help. Has anyone noticed the flurry of commercials that GM is running to assure their customers that the company is still actually in business? <-- Take note Six Flags.

Kennyweird has already posted the correct answer, but for some reason the person that posted the picture hasn't confirmed.

^ Drive by a cop really fast while flipping him off.

National Geographic opened a theme park? The absurdity of some of these parks is incredibly entertaining. I'm enjoying the updates and wish I were there.

I got a 126 on my first try. I really thought I would do better.

How Monstrous was Ariza? Fisher was as clutch as he's ever been. Kobe drops 30+ and it's just a footnote. And yes, Howard couldn't hit a free throw to save his life. I'll take it.

Congrats on #800 Big Mike! Here's to the next 100 coasters.

Lick it up - in my pants (KISS)

How much could a motor, drive tire, and necessary hardware/wires/controls cost? A few grand? Seems like cheap insurance. Sure, it doesn't happen often, but it obviously happens.
