Nothing theme park related for me as gifts. However, I did buy myself the theme park review European and Japan dvd's! Hopefully my check got to the TPR crew this week. Great dvd's guys!
Like others I would fly into LAX then to say, Columbus and drive to Sandusky. If you want to make a few 2 day trips from there it might be worth it, I suppose.
The soundtrack never really did anything for me anyway, so I dont think I really missed it when I last rode it in Oct. The trim brakes kinda sucked, but I still love the hell out of that ride.
Ive only been on two standups: Riddlers Revenge and Mantis. Of the two I liked Riddler more, I guess, but honestly didnt enjoy either that much. So im probably not too much help.
Only been to Tampa but even so Williamsburg looks like the better park to me. Although I havent been on Sheikra. Still the Virginia park looks really cool and is close to the top of my "to visit list".
