I did a double take on that picture with Nicole and Derek when R&E first posted the PTR.

Honestly, there was not a bad video to choose from. With the number of quirky people I'm surprised "Goat Encounter" couldn't break the Top 20 either. I got a vote from this quirky person.

Casey - tell the fangirls your shoe size!

you rock Casey! - amazing how you were able to avoid the camera for the most part during the first 6 days and bam now you are a star along with your boy Ryan.

1 - both parks can be done in one day. 2 - look at a map to find cities nearby 3 - you posted this question in the Ask Alvey section, so technically if you want others to answer, you should post in the main section of the site 4 - don't get upset when people refuse to answers questions that can easily be found with a little more effort and research on your part

Cameron - what about the pinball action in the arcade? good or bad?

Alton Towers - QUACK QUACK

At Lakemont they did not allow me to ride as a single rider

I heard Dan ate some funky food in UK and if Lou were to use the shower after Dan used the bathroom, Lou would have been the ones with puffy eyes.

remember it's not just the coaster that makes noise, there are riders also.

Beech Bend really doesn't have much to offer after Kentucky Rumbler. I just don't want you to think it is a great place. I thought you were going to have a day and one half at the parks but seeing your projected timing, IB and HW would not be possible. You would have to fly into Indianapolis mid-Monday morning to make those two parks before leaving Wednesday morning.

I have a lot of love for The Cyclone and still try to ride it at least once a year. The subway ride from Manhattan is usually a little longer than a hour. But I think the Cyclone, Wonder Wheel and Nathan's are worth the trip. If you do make it try to ride earlier in the day. Many wooides get better as they warm up, however the salt air will actually slow this oddity down later in the day. I still have it as one of my two favorite wood coasters. OK, start throwing the darts at me know, especially those of you who rode Voyage, Balder or El Toro with me earlier this year. Q: What's a man without conviction behind his opinion? A: Paul Reuben

Does the food talk to you also, in addition to being tasty?

Day and a half? I'd do these before the options offered. Holiday World and Indiana Beach Knoebels and Hershey Hershey and Kennywood

Kumba9 - don't sell now, as the guy at Bear Stearns said it can only get better. I sold mine a while back and will buy back in if it goes under $5. Even though SFGAdv was deplorable on July 4th.

If I'm by myself only talk to the cute women who are alone also. In other words I talk to no one!

Why do you always sound like a child molester when you ask questions on your videos? Example: (in a low voice) Answer and I'll give you candy. Where are we today? What ride is this? OK - maybe the "Answer and I'll give you candy" part is embellished

I think it is a game to see who can take longer to dispatch a train: Rolling Thunder or El Toro

No, the lesson learned is to get everything on videotape so you have evidence. I may now have to bring a video cam to the parks in the future.

Magic 8-Ball says "Try again in 6 years"

Joe's eyes teared up when he saw the area where the Schwarzkopf Enterprise was removed from. But at least he wasn't shuffling papers in Atlanta. On a surprise note Houdini's Great Escape is still operating, but the pre-show has been butchered.

good point Derek - I'll take one El Toro with smooth two train operations and 10 working flats and security guards sitting in Beach Chairs watching the queues.

I'll take 2 El Toros and 15 good flats rides

No you don't - It is not fun and not worth the exit pass Joe - Anyway you can post a picture of my new friend

Good to see you today Derek. Joe - you left out the best part of our Great Adventure, when I got punched in the face and pushed through the crowd for confronting and trying to stop people from cutting the line on S:UF. Time spent in the Security office is a real team building experience. Luckily the woman that punched me, punched like a girl. For the record they didn't completely staple us in on El Toro today and that made it better. However, late in the day they took the second train off the track halting the ride for 20 minutes and lengthening the wait. For my last ride I got on the line at 6:15 and didn't ride until 8:40.
