Sorry didn't read the whole post so some of these might be repeats Food Always eat a big meal before you get to the park - luckily a big meal doesn't upset my stomach before going on rides. I hate going back to my car to eat, so I usually plan to stop for food right after leaving the park. So I try to eat light snacks (which are cheaper) during the day. Buy a refillable bottle if it will save you money over the course of the season (and don't forget it at home) Tickets Season pass if you plan multiple visits Look for the cheapest possible deal: park websites for coupons or night time specials, AAA (if you or a family or friend have a card), ask at TPR if there are locals discounts are fast food places/grocery stores, mycokerewards.com for Universal tickets (if your family drinks a lot of coke products). Sometimes deals pop-up in strange places like the NRA selling Busch tickets for $25 last year. Get to the park early to maximize the value for admission price. Gas/Parking/Hotels Find a friend and car pool I prefer to use Hotwire for hotels as I really like the way they system for rating hotels Souvenirs Buy them cheaper at the end of the season. If you are worrying about them going out of style, then remind yourself of this. Coaster t-shirts are NEVER in style. Loose Change If you pick-up every coin you see on the ground and you can generally haul in a dollar by the end of the day. Best places to pick up loose change. The floor of log flumes, the bottom of wave pools, in the grass underneath the cobra roll of Medusa at SFGAdv.

Further proof that New England fans are the sorest losers along with being the least graceful winners.

R&E - Hey much did it cost to clean-up when Jow puked on the cruise ship?

You go girl! You think that's funny? You should hear the accent when I say it aloud and waggle my finger at the computer screen . So, now I finally get the full red button/e-Stop story.

A giant rat beating the crap out of a human is always funny. (Doritos)

Scott - the only we agree on. Miami Dolphins although I think Mercury Morris should be commited to the loony bin. FYI - I love all the people picking the Giants in this poll now that the game is over.

Is it implied that expanding Disney's presence into Hong Kong is problematic becasue of the Alvey's antics? That video sounds like a great random occureence to break the monotony of the class.

Dave - Did captain go their on his China/Thailand trip last year, you might want to search for his PTR. Then again maybe you already checked.

Lou - with a linguistics I'm sure you know that Shakespeare invented thousands of words when the need arose. So you go girl.

^It appears the Oceanic 6 are sworn to secrecy. Hurley refuses to even acknowledge that he knew Ana Lucia to her former partner. Should we start a "Guess the Oceanic 6" thread? In addition to Kate, Jack and Hurley my selections are Sawyer, Sayid and Ben (who I think is in the coffin at the end of last season). I initially wanted to say Claire, Aaron and Ben.

No, you only see a Jacob if you freeze the screen shot. I'm still don't subscribe to the wastefulness of studying the program ad nauseum, so even though those who go through the trouble can see an image I don't take this to mean much. If the viewer was meant to see Jacob we would see him without the need for enhancements. Second it is possible that Jacob appears in a different form each individual. Also, we have no evidence that Hurley actually saw Jacob. I don't recall him asking Locke "who" was in the rocking chair in the cabin? Regarding commercials - get used to them folks. ABC owes a lot of advertisers a lot of money in makegoods for not airing much original programming the past few months.

I see double downs!

OK - I feel stupid right now. The premise of the article confused me. I really should be paying attention during conference calls, versus surfing the web. Feel free to temporarily ban me

My understanding is that the Villians "thrill park" is now in Disney's official long term business plans but with no definitive target date.

Really! How odd, I thought everyone loved puke?

Didn't want to put this in the rumor thread since Motley Fool isn't exactly a rumor monger - but did anyone else hear about this Motley Fool link with this quote enclosed

New for 2008 at Martins Fantasy Island I just saw this on their website but don't recall it being mentioned before on TPR.

I almost pissed in my pants a couple of times watching Disc 1. Great stuff Robb (and whomever else donated footage and photos).

and Dragon's Fury is listed in the "Fav X SC2000/3000" section but also has it's own listing.

Where did you live on campus, in Fletcher Hall we doled out our own justice upon those who did not properly clean up their after party.

Ted - I understand Mitch's concern and why the randomization occurs. I just didn't realize it would be the case. It's just that everyone puts you and your application up on a pedestal and you let me down. Drag and drop does sound like it would make the process saner.

^^Thanks for pointing that out Derek. I never used Ted's poll before this year and was underwhelmed after two years of hearing how much easier it would be. It least this explains why it took so much longer than expected while searching for coasters when sorting.

The world must be ending if the fickle TPR community is appeased by a coaster name proposed by CF. I much prefer Afterburn, we already have an Afterburner at the wonderful FunSpot Amusement Park.

^Paul I agree with you 100%. Charm is not a word I would use to describe Beech Bend. Although the BB ride ops were some of the most friendly and courteous. On the other hand, Waldameer is packed with charm.

Mike - I don't make fun of fat people, I make fun of you. You lost 8 of those pounds in the 1st week and 4 pounds over to next 10 weeks, that is not great progress. Get back to work Maggot! Congrats to crazydaveh for reaching his goal.
