Patton Oswalt is by far the best comedian out there right now (he also just wrote a fantastic book). I also love Louie CK but I still favor Patton. I guess I'm just talking current ones out there because all time you have to talk about Carlin, Pryor, etc.
Overall Bill Hicks is the ultimate king.

Really cool stuff posted lately. There is a lot to be excited about with DCA this year and next. Also, man, Disneygeek gets some great pictures!
-
Any Arizona fans here? Bear Down! (Hopefully we don't s*it the bed like in the Holiday Bowl. LOL).
-
This looks fantastic. I really enjoyed glowfest so having this is just a great extension (with more Disney involvement, obviously).
-
Fantastic pictures man! I had that same sort of experience on MF when I first went on it about four years ago. I think you described how I felt being sorta new to being a coaster nerd, etc. Keep up the good work with the TR.
-
Awesome TR! BG:E is on the short list of US parks i really want to visit. It seems like such a great collection of rides, with some really decent theming. Lol. Hopefully soon I can make it out there.
-
Very cool TR! I really need to get back to MM, asap. It's nice to see they are making so many improvements.

Right now it's sunny and clear but really windy!!
Normally it's warm and sunny here. Got to love the desert!
Yeah, it was in the upper 70's here in Tucson, which is great, but I HATE wind. It's been windy the past few weeks, too. I'm really sick of wind.

I honestly don't know how this show still exists. It's insane!
-
Only about 4 last night; I just couldn't get to sleep 'till about 3am. Hopefully I can expand to about 6 tonight.

Wow, thanks for the update and pictures! It looks like a fantastic ride. Everland seems like a really cool park, and I really want to go to South Korea now.

I, too, COMPLETELY agree with Eagle Fortress's placement in the poll.
I, like a couple others, didn't vote in the poll due to the sheer numbers involved.
However, Eagle Fortress really deserves it's place in the poll. Personally, I have it ranked at #4 (out of 670 steel).
Here's the story from my perspective, of the TPR trip there last September.
It was kind of cool and damp when we got there in the morning. We had ERT on Eagle Fortress. An Arrow suspended. Oh effen joy. Who cares. As we walked up, the little bit of the ride you can actually see, seemed rusted and dilapidated. Fine. Let's get the credit and move on.
With massive amounts of apprehension on everyone's part, we slowly filled the seats of the train. The lift hill was a bit steep, still not revealing much of the ride. At the top where we disengaged from the chain, we were near the outskirts of the parks' perimeter. The turnaround was maybe 8-10 feet off the ground. As the last car came off the chain and we started going downhill, everything that followed was bat-out-of-hell, WTF was that!!!
It just kept getting faster and faster, swinging wider and wider to both sides! Extremely smooth! We got back to the station and we were cheering. NOT a faux cheer, to please the host park (Everland) as can be common in many events, but a real cheer. The TPR people in the station who didn't make the first train, thought we were giving them the biggest BS of our lives.
Yet, from that moment on, everyone tried to get as many rides as possible (myself included). The train never went out with an empty seat after that. The thing was absolutely amazing!!
T-Express may be a large part of the draw for me to head back with TPR to Korea in September, but T-Express is still an unknown. Seriously, I could go back just for Eagle Fortress and be just as happy. It IS that good.
Think Big Bad Wolf's drop over the Rhine river. With NO trim brakes. No shuffling. Side to side, past vertical. For a full minute. It is amazing.
And, it's an Arrow! W-T-F???

That sounds awesome. I've always loved the Arrow inverts, and this seems to be the obvious king.
-
The park looks great. I agree that the Hard Rock brand is a very good one for a theme park. Music works as a fantastic tie in with coasters.
-
WOW. This really is an amazing thread! EPCOT is by far my favorite Disney park ever created so it is fantastic to see stuff like this. Keep up the fantastic updates!
-
I really wish I could be in Valencia this weekend. It sounds like such an amazing time. It's great what you and the thrillride people help to put together, especially for only $20 . Hopefully WCB '09 I'll be there. I hope everyone has fun!
-
Nice update Robb. Legoland is building a nice little set of rides down there. The new dark ride sounds pretty cool, and should be a fantastic addition. Thanks for the pictures.
Also, happy birthday to KidTums!
-
Cool stuff Robb! I really need to make it out to MM again. It's been a while and it really looks like the new management is taking things in the right direction. Plus I really should ride Tatsu.
-
Nerd memories are the best memories! Oh yeah.
-
Looks pretty cool, thanks for the report! I really do need to make it out to Sea World Orlando next time I'm in town. Usually whoever I'm with doesn't want to go. Anyway, great stuff Erik.
-
WDW is far, far better as a destination. I love DLR, but I can get bored after a day or two. The resort in Florida is just so complete; it's hard to NOT find something to do there. Epcot is by far my favorite Disney park, so WDW certainly has that going for it as well.
Disneyland itself is way better than MK for me, but the entire experience (and park advantage) is far superior in Orlando.
-
It would be fantastic if this really does happen! The concept art does look pretty bad, though, but they have time to improve on it at least. Still, to have something only an hour from me would be great.
-
Crystal Skull was my favorite, but not really by that much over Forbidden Eye. I think it certainly benefits from coming later and being newer. Crystal Skull has the best single effect in the smoke ring, so it gets the advantage there, i guess. Dino is just boring... It's dark and that its. I always come off that ride wondering why I even went on it.
Both Indy's are fantastic and thats all that matters. I'm glad Ive been on both!
-
Nice report! I still really want to ride Kraken but the two times I have been in Orlando I always run out of time to make it to Sea World. It looks fantastic, though.
-
Montu and Kumba are so freaking good! Good stuff to see those coasters. I miss both of them. Shakira still needs to wait, though.
Robb & Elissa go to Park City, Utah!
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

Cowabunga Bay looks like an amazing little water park. Very awesome that it is run by a TPR member. I love the layout of the place and man, the pricing structure seems fantastic and I wish more places were like that.
