  1. I understand what a REAL car can hold, I am refereing to a RIDE. Wouldn't it make sense to have 4 accross seating? I bet a lot of groups have to get broken up because of this. I just find it odd, because all rides I have ever seen are two accros seating, or 4 or more accross seating. Three accross is just an odd number. Maybe it had to do with the design of the ride, not sure but interesting none the less.
  2. Todays update includes a ride in the front of the monorail, and dinner at cinderellas castle. Remember when you could ride up in the front of the monorail? Today we visit the monorail. The monorail goes into two of the disneyworld parks. Epcot, and magic kingdom. Before the accident, you used to be able to ride in the front. The controls for the monorail. The glass needed to be replaced. There is enough room for about 5 people and a driver. Me and one of our friends. This was our driver. Going into the ticket and transpertation station. This is the switchtrack for the maintnance area. The monorail also stops in 3 hotels. The contemporary, polyinision, and grand floridian hotel. It goes right thrue the hotel. A view of the at the time under construction addition to the contemporary hotel. Here you can see the other side of the hotel. The monorail going thru the hotel. This is the magic kingdom monorail station. We had dinner at the castle. Inside the castle is beautiful. Before you go up to eat, they make you get your picture with cinderella. The ceiling of the lobby. The stairway to the dinning room. The detail of the castle was awsome. Even outside, the detail is amazing. One of the paintings. I thought I had heard somewhere, that they used real gold as paint on some things. The menu just outside the restaurant. Back inside the castle. Part of the ceiling in the dinning room. The dinning area. There is so much eye candy in the castle. It's my favorate place to eat at Disney. Looking out our window into fantasyland. We were on the dinning plan, so we got to pick anything we wanted off the menu. I got the prime rib. It was so good, it was like sex in your mouth. This was my desert. My friend caral had this for desert. While you eat, they have the fairy godmother do a little show, and the mice are there as well. Here is the other rat. Random dinning room shot. I am totaly doing this to my bathroom at home. Looking down into the lobby. Stained glass in the stairwell. Just next to the castle, they have a wishing well. In otherwords, the money goes into the mouses pocket. There is a show here. It is located right next to the castle. That's it for this update. The next update will be of the keys to the kingdom behind the scenes tour, and more magic kingdom.
  3. Only time will tell I guess. I have heard that they got the green light for the project. I guess if we see construction walls go up soon, we will know.
  4. I may be doing this park for the first time next summer. A couple of questions.... How does it compare to the other ex paramount parks? I was looking over the trip reports from the park, and found it kind of weird that there are no covers on any of the coaster stations. Do they have 2 bayern curves? I notice in the ride index that they have the bayern curve and the berserker. Is it the same ride? By looking at the pictures, it kinda looks like carowinds a little bit. Is that a good park to compare it to? Do they have a dark ride, or was that just in the movie beverly hills cop?...lol
  5. There was an episode of wonder woman where she was at magic mountain. I have it on dvd(I know...sad). It has something to do with a monster living under revolution.
  6. Just watch out for Jason voohees, and you should be fine.
  7. There was also an old ride station on the side of the mountain. It looked like a coaster station. Was this from the smurf ride? Here are a few shots of what I am talking about.
  8. Here are a few pictures of the mountain that I took last summer. There are still a few signes that there was a flume ride in the volcano. Not sure if this was from the flume ride, or a coaster? This was taken from volcano line. Would it kill them to put some fans or air conditioning in the line for this ride. It was like a sauna in here.
  9. I have read several articles lately about this.When I am not being lazy, I will look for them. I know this rumor has been going around for a while, but it's really picked up momentum the past few months. One of the articles I have, has concept art for the spain pavilion that has a date from late last year on it.
  10. Nice pictures. Titan looks like a coaster they used to have at boblo island.
  11. More epcot pictures. This time, I have more of the front of the park. Innoventions The seas with nemo. Night time nemo and friends The switchbacks for nemo. There are some great fish displays in here. The aquariums in this place were huge. Lots of fish I found nemo!!! Random weird looking fish. As you can see, the place was dead. Look...people!! Is it just me, or does nemo look stoned? In case you forgot where we are. Due to the weather being so cold, they had to cover up a lot of the flowers. My daughter trying to pet the fish. She found nemo also. This is one of the main attractions in the sea pavilion. Next, we went over and waisted our time doing this. We got to stand here and watch kodak commercials for a half hour. We had more fun playing by the fountain, than hista. My daughter loves the jumping fountains. Journey into imagination. Journey into imagination track porn. There are a lot of interactive things to do at the exit of the ride. Before we left epcot for the day, we hit test track one more time. Anybody need a knee adjustment? I always found it odd that there were 3 seats instead of 4 . Since it was so cold out, the heat felt good. not so much the cold... My daughter loving the ride. The area just outside of test track. Back at pop century, here is a picture of the food court. There is also a gift shop. In the next update, I will have pictures of a front car ride on the monorail, and a keys to the kingdom tour.
  12. Any updates of what the behind the scenes tour will be of?
  13. Why drink any water or ice made from New Jersey water? Actually their "bottled water" tastes like... tap water... anyways I wouldn't put it past Six Flags to fill empty bottles with tap water That's essentualy what bottled water is anyways.
  14. There were a few different pavilions that were/are on the drawing board. I know that russia is another pavilion being considered. I hope they add some sort of ride to spain. The world showcase needs more rides, even if it's just a boat ride like mexico or norway.
  15. News..... It looks like epcot will soon have a 12'th country in the world showcase. The pavilion will be...Drum rolll.....SPAIN. Read about it here.... http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/blog/2010/08/a_new_country_at_epcot.html
  16. I coulden't imagine riding a waveswinger in the middle of december.
  17. While this is probaly one of the worst pieces of writing I have seen in a long time,it is right about one thing. Carousels have very high insurance premiums. The insurance on a carousel is higher than insurance on a rollercoaster. If you think about it, there is a lot of things that could go wrong on a carousel. People fall off of them all the time. if someone fell onto the ride platform from a horse that is going up and down.....that horse is gonna come down on there head.There are no otsr's or lap bars on carousels. The point is, carousels are one of the most dangerous rides out there even though it sounds silly.
  18. A few pictures I forgot. They have fiber optic lighting in the cement. A look at the globe. I forgot all about the restaurant in Italy The waiting area. The dinning room. Too bad the food was not as good as the theming.
  19. Thank's. Why is it that the traveling rides in germany, always look brand new and have tons of scenery, while the traveling rides in america look like they are ready to fall apart and have very little theming and scenery?
  20. Nice pictures. Is that the laser coaster from dorney park? I also love some of the ride names like grass, and beach party...lol.
  21. Yep...true. A few years ago, all the cedarfair parks turned the backwords train around on the racing coasters.
  22. Holiday world is the most classy park out there. It should be a model for all other parks to follow.
  23. Lol.. Yea, found it in the bargain bin for $3. Had no idea what it was, but since it had a coaster on it, I bought it. More updates comming soon. I have been buisy with moving, and doing the "My favorite Disneyworld picture" updates.
  24. Here is some video of Labron James failing at the basketball game at cedar point. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/11/lebron-james-harassed-at_n_677516.html This is all the proof that I need to confirm that park games are rigged. How can a pro basketball player miss all 3 shots?
