That is the last time I will ever play a "wet t-shirt contest" with you!!! (And how could I forget that ride op with the fire hose at the end . . . )

What kind of sushi roll is that?

^ You and my psychiatrist need to meet.

I kind wish they went with the classic cartoon version of the Queen of Hearts instead of Tim Burton's. Nothing wrong with the newer Queen, but I really liked the crazed angry style of the cartoon Queen. The more that gets done, the better this park is looking. And it's really making me want to make another trip to China . . .

Granted, but after the long road trip, you find the park is closed for several weeks for maintenance (a la Wally's World). I wish the world would blow up.

No, I didn't hack the Pentagon from your computer. But if Homeland security shows up in full assault gear, you're on your own.

^ Yeah, I just watch that as well. I had some pretty low expectations going in, and the movie didn't even meet them. I thought Afflect was on par with Val Kilmer--just above Clooney and just as miscasted. I thought Luther was a little too psychotic and crazy, nothing like the comics and past TV shows and movies. That was also another horrible miscast. While I did like how it starts at the end of "Man of Steel" and I did like how Luther plays Batman and Superman against each other, turning it into the "Death of Superman" was pretty tasteless and pretty much ruined what could have been a salvageable movie. I give this melodrama (and yes, it is a melodrama) a 2 1/2 out of 5. Overall it's better than some of the movies playing right now, but it really doesn't live up to the comics at all.

I seriously didn't think such a thread existed . . . . . . but several things came to mind: 1. Chuck pushing the red button. 2. Rob running the controls on G'sengte Sau at Tripsdill. 3. Itchy pressing the red button in "The Simpsons Movie", followed by Dave Chapelle pressing the red button in "Undercover Brother". 4. Me, with the maniacal laugh of a mad scientist, pressing as many of those buttons as possible. (What can I say, I like pushing buttons . . . )

As a high school teacher once told me: Quiet in the Peanut Gallery!

Cannibal - Lagoon, last year. First "new" coaster in several years. And if I don't get around to that Dragon Wagon at Lagoon, next year will probably be my next "new" coaster.

While I like raspberries and blackberries more than boysenberries, that looks SO GOOOD!!! Though, I'm not sure about a boysenberry BBQ sauce. Some of the fruit flavored BBQ sauces I've tried in the past have had an odd taste or were way too sweet. Still, I am curious as to how this one will taste. Thanks for sharing! (And running my breakfast. I'm craving boysenberries, now . . . )

Currently listening to Yanni's album: "Dare to Dream".

I've only been on a couple of Alpine Coasters, but I really like the one at Park City, Utah. I find that they are a lot more fun in the snow than in the summer. Makes it feel little like you're bobsledding. Snow or summer, some to the ski resorts offer some fantastic views from the coaster. Makes it difficult to enjoy the scenery going at full tilt! As for slides, my favorite is still the ones at Mount Hood Skibowl. It's rather simple layout, but you get an awesome view of Mount Hood in front of you as barrel down the track!

^ I miss those days . . .

^ Seriously. Your kind of bacon is just ham in a can. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Wow. I just realize what's been missing from by diet . . . BACON!!!

Probably should add Ray Tomlinson to this list. He may have not been a celebrity, but he created that wonderful communication tool we all take for granted today: email. It's crazy that the first emails were in 1971! It didn't hit mainstream culture until twenty years later.

Looks like something someone drew up while smoking . . . cigarettes. I will admit that I would have liked to see the Mount Rushmore style heads of rock stars.

Just one more reason to make another trip to China . . . Looks like Disney has created another wonderfully detailed park. Tis' a shame it will be years before I find myself back in China.

Of course, YOU would go there!!!

I'm looking at the overall structure and supports, not what the tracks are attached to. To me, it looks a little too much like that annoying toothpick bridge I had to do in middle school science class. It just looks so . . . unfinished. Of course, I'm probably speaking too early about the finished product as that it's still under construction. But I'm not really caring for this particular design style.

^ So blowing it all on a wild night of hookers and coke . . . ?

^ Not one of his better parodies. "Amish Paradise" and "You're Pitiful" are some of his best.

While it looks like a fun ride, it looks rather ugly. I understand the purpose of all the I-beams and its structure, but couldn't there have been a better way to make it look more aesthetic?
