There is no reason ever to sit on the railings. If someone is too tired or their feet hurt they should go home or try out Bench:The Ride. If one gets in the line and becomes tired, leaning on the railing or a friend is acceptable. At worst sit on the ground, at least there is no chance of one hurting themselves from falling. You actually use more energy climbing/jumping on the railing then standing in place. I would love to see people fall off railings and hurt themselves but the last thing this industry needs is more lawsuits. I prefer a more covert operation where the offenders are teleported to the magical land of Davonia and shackled in cells where carniverous bees and cats with lasers for eyes dwell.

Your comment about no way in the USA might be true for the year 2009. But in the '70s before the seats on many trains were reftitted I remember quite a few coasters letting you jam 3 people across as long as you could fit. Actually last year, I saw 3 kids (around 10-13 years old) squeeze into a car on Knoebel's High Speed Thrill Coaster.

^Oh, I forget to mention. Closed forever.

Excellent! All children should be corrupted at a young age.

That is true, or at least that is what he said to the Wood Coaster Fan Club at an event where he spoke.

You might want to go back and edit the title, subtitle and body of your post. I think one reason people are not responding is because it is not clear what you need and the title of your post is vague. I think I understand what you are asking. How would/do we feel about cooperative play interactive rides? They are a few in Europe but I prefer the individual score games. Walibi Belgium has a shooting dark ride (Challenge of Tutenkamen) where the end of the ride is dictated by how well your vehicle shoots. Terra Mitica also has a similar ride in Laberintho el Minitouro. The exact spelling of these ride names might be incorrect, but the rides are listed in TPR's Park Index.

Elissa - Happy 2nd anniversary of popping that kid out. When's the next one coming?

Reed - My college roommate was from Plant City and tried to bring me to the Strawberry festival. I never went.

Back in the early 1970's it wasn't all about Florida and Disney or Corporate parks. Families with young kids could still have a great vacation closer to home at hundreds of small local parks. In the next 3 installments I will show pictures from a week long family vacation to the Lake George region of New York in 1974. This next round of pictures is from an extinct park that was located at the top of a hill. You entered the park by going inside a "spaceship" (a room that moved and had flashing lights to simulate space travel). Then you went through a tunnel or underground room that would take you to another planet. You exited atop the hill where you encountered a lot of giant plastic and fiberglass characters that were supposed to represent different eras in time from the prehistoric era to the present era of space travel. The name of the place was Time Town. Enjoy! If you want to see more of this long lost park can can visit this site: RemeberingTimeTown My sister goes back for more quality time with the park's mascot. My siblings and family friends decided to get a picture with this pecker. Next we got to hang out with Jeff Johnson. Even though there were cars way back in the '70s, we took this alternative form of transportation to the park.

^^^No one pointed out the red button to a panicked Larry. I think I was with Craig (StealthFan) or Ginzo and had to walk around the whole hotel when the gate was locked.

I'm just glad he didn't go and paint his body.

Please tell me that no one actually clicked on the "Play Again" option when it showed up at the end of the video. Tyler take your medication, please.

As someone who lived through the Bubonic Plague, you would know the meaning of "sick".

Don't you think they would drop "Busch" from the park name if that was the reason???????????????????

Back in 1972, the major marine park in Florida was located just outisde St. Augustine. Marineland opened in 1937 and is still operating today. I think my father was more excited about this park than anything else we did during this vacation. As I said previously, my family never took a lot of pictures, but I think there were more pictures from Marineland than the other 3 Florida parks we visited combined. However, I won't bore you with all the pictures because most are poor quality or multiple pictures of the same dolphins and whales jumping over and over again. I guess my dad really loved those fish. On to the photos. If anyone really demands more polaroids of these stupid fish, let me know and I'll post more. This was THE PICTURE SPOT at Marineland. Only my sister had her picture taken. Dad was hoarding the "roids" for the fish. Hey, my dad took a picture of a dolphin jumping in the air for fish. Zowzer! I have no idea why the guy with the fish between his teeth is wearing a Varsity hat. Hey, my dad took a picture of two dolphins jumping through hoops. aaaaaaah! Hey, my dad took a picture of the trainer petting a dolphin. oooooooh!

$1.50 for a big soft warm pretzel from a New York City street vendor for the bus ride home from work.

^My dust collection is 100% native to my apartment. I never purposely import dust from foreign environments.

^I had pasta last night, it was Ash Wednesday! I ate no meat yesterday. So I guess I'm vegetarian for 7 days each year.

^Wouldn't spaying or neutering an animal without that animal's consent be against the animal's rights?

I have now been suckered in the watching the prior week's episode in enhanced form prior to each episode as it helps me pick up things I missed. Although it was clear as day in the previous week's episode that the Lamppost was built by the Dharma Initiative, I missed it. Also, the pop-up text implied that Ben did visit Penny to kill her the night before the flight.

^Boring and slow moving yes, but it is about time they started tying loose ends.

No spoilers! Just a great episode where we finally start getting some answers versus more questions.

^I still feel the pain from laughing so hard at the event.

Gerd - I hope you don't mind. I created a directory with a link to each dish on the first page of your thread. One of the moderators will try to keep this updated.
