  1. Exactly, and to add to that, the only websites I follow pretty much daily now are only TPR and Westcoaster, considering I used to check up to ten sites a day. I've realized that I'm not a "fanboy" of anything, because, basically, that means b*tching and groaning about everything thing. Sometimes, you just have to look at the big friggin' picture.
  2. Alright, so I got into the whole coaster enthusiast thing about 3 years ago. I was mainly interested in my home park, SFGAm, and soon discovered an entire forum dedicated to it, SFGAmworld.com. I joined, and started to contribute to the forum. Through the next couple of years, I discovered new coaster sites (TPR, Westcoaster, Orlando United, etc.) and slowly only started visiting SFGAmworld.com about once a week. Recently, I began reading the forum more often, and discovered how the attitudes of the people there had changed severely. People who deserved to be banned, weren't, and people who decided to not happily agree with the mods and other members were quickly shut out. A recent topic on the SFGAmworld forums has been the status of Chang from SFKK. Of course, many SFGAm fanboys are all for the addition of Chang to the park. Many of them are already certain that it will appear in the park in 2011, and are acting as though some sort of official announcement has been made. Here's where things bother me. I posted that they all might be in for a surprise in 2011, and that Chang might be sent elsewhere. I also stated my disgust with how the forums were being run, and how the members on there were acting. Later, I received a reply from one of the mods on the boards. To be honest, I was merely stating my opinion of the Chang situation and how I didn't want to visit the site anymore because of all the negative energy. I was blatantly called out by a moderator, one who is supposed to control the boards and its members. To me, that's just immaturity and not being open to other people's opinions. I've obviously left the site, and don't plan on returning. So, that's basically it, but it explains the reason that I love TPR! (Oh, and thanks Nathan (kumba830) and Jon (deathbydinn) for backing me up!)
  3. Wow, how did I not mention those?! Tyler's TDK spiel and the mayonnaise war definitely made the video!
  4. I recently downloaded Coaster Expedition 13 to my iPod, and have watched it whole nearly 8 times! On my computer, TV, and iPod! I've always preferred the CE series to the RAW series, based on the fact that the Coaster Expedition DVDs are like going on a TPR trip...for $10! The nighttime ERT on Boulder Dash in CE 13 even gave me chills once! It was crazy when the op was getting everyone ready to ride, I seriously just wanted to be there! Robb, these videos have come a long way, and they are absolutely fantastic! The mix of the music, editing, and filming are all fantastic and give Theme Park Review that edge in the coaster enthusiast world!
  5. So, one of the senior pranks at my high school this year was throwing hundreds of red balloons off of a high balcony/walkway thing and hijacking the PA system to play 99 Luftballoons by Nena. It was crazy. Everyone was dancing, and now the entire school is hooked on a classic!
  6. I think it's the amount of attention that the ads receive. People don't get talking about ads in the queue playing on TVs, but ads plastered all over the coaster train gets peoples attention, because, well, you don't normally see an ad on a coaster train
  7. That's cool, it's nice to see parks doing this now. I know SFGAm is holding a Fan Fun Fest exclusively for people who are fans on Facebook, and they are already over 100,000!
  8. Can't the Smoke Monster not travel over water? Didn't Sawyer realize that when "Locke" sent him over to Hydra Island, instead of just flying over the water? I figured that that was why Sawyer wanted Jack to push him into the water, and I'm curious to see what would have happened. I feel like this is the show that's going to be great to go back and re-watch the first couple seasons, and watch the final season like once. I also feel like they should have ended earlier, instead of dragging out the whole time-traveling smoke monster craziness. Just my opinion though
  9. Wait, when are you going? I might go this summer I'm going to be in Florida from June 20 - 25 but I'm not sure which day I'm going to Busch Gardens. Oh, haha, I'm going the next week!
  10. Spoilers from tonight's episode ahead! WHAT. I swear to god, the last thing the producers could do to piss me off would be to kill off Jin and Sun. C'mon! They made the show sweet, and have some sort of genuine love story. I just hope they come back in the sideways flashes!
  11. Wait, when are you going? I might go this summer
  12. I'm in love with that album. Currently listening to I Can't Stay
  13. This park still looks great, but what's up with that roof/shed over the teacups queue? It looks very sloped, but otherwise keep up the good work!
  14. I like the look of the park and attractions so far! Have you considered custom supporting the major coasters? That'll definitely add more realism. Other than that, this park looks great and I can't wait to see more!
  15. Agreed. They actually look decent on Ninja, and definitely fit with the theme, unlike poor Whizzer.
  16. Agreed that it feels like Charleston Gardens, with it's only little unique touch. Although, I do have a question, I'm unable to import pictures into RCT3 to put on billboards, can I ask if you have Windows 7 or Vista and how you were able to get it work?
  17. Does anyone else on here go geocaching? It's basically modern day treasure hunting, where people hide and seek "geocaches" or "caches" with a GPS device. It's been in the news every once in a while, with an occasional cache being suspected as a bomb! Here is the official website www.geocaching.com/ So far, I haven't found very many, mainly because most of the ones near me are either gone or REALLY hard to find! But basically here you can post pictures of your finds, PTR's, or interesting caches that you've discovered!
  18. What is the point of being afraid?
  19. Simtanic's SeaWorld Adventure Custom Scenery Thanks to everyone for the comments! Any criticism/critiquing is welcome, and updates will be posted regularly! Welcome back to another new update of SeaWorld Phoenix, the premier amusement park of the Phoenix area! We are still on track for an opening in the Summer of 2010, but an opening date has not yet been set. This week's construction update features the boardwalk cafe and gift emporium, quick service food stalls around the park, a brand new touch-tank aquarium, and a shop mastering in the craft of glass bowing vases. Our new touch-tank area will feature sting rays, starfish, and many more exciting sea creatures for all guests to explore! I am very pleased to be able to inform you of our park's creation, and hope that you all come out to visit sometime this summer! William Becker Sr. VP of Public Relations P.S.- Stayed tune this week for more exciting news! The park's new Boardwalk Cafe and gift emporium, with a relaxing deck to enjoy the park's serene atmosphere. One of the new quick service food stalls, serving up delicious drinks and snacks. The new covered touch-tank aquarium, featuring 5 different types of sting rays! Tables and chairs will soon also be added as another place for guests to relax. Another look at the touch-tank area. Winding down the path to another new quick service stall. A close up look. This stall will feature soft-serve ice cream! A look at the glass-blowing shop through the trees. This new shop will also serve as the exit for SeaWorld Phoenix's exciting hypercoaster! The coaster's entrance area is still currently under construction, as the park searches for the perfect name!
