^Cyclone Bay! That's crazy! You know, somebody was the last one to get in that line. I wonder about that - what it would take to get me to wait 4 or 5 hours for one attraction in a park filled with great rides.

The momentum is picking up! Congratulations TPR!

Let me add my acclamation - Yes! Yes! Yes! This is such a great park, my favorite in Florida by far. Add TPR, wow.

^^Are you sure that wasn't a recent 1-train Saturday? Oh yeah, I remember when the line for Ninja extended all the way down the hill. You can still see the queue pole receptacles.

^Ok then. I hope you took some pics at the Nascar place that rebuffed your whorish efforts. The one that got away...

^It would still take 1,000 users with 1,000 posts each. For me, that puts it into perspective.

Does the Skyrocket platform still have unprotected edges that seem like they'll claim a ride op? When we were there last Aug, several routinely walked into the "No Step" areas. How hard could it be to add a few railings? We loved the ride - the entire park actually - but Skyrocket definitely had that not quite finished feeling.

One million posts by how many active users? I wonder about such minutia.

My family first took me to the park in its debut year or shortly after. I don't trust those early memories, they aren't much more than impressions over several visits that I've likely confused over the years. I have a sense of eating in a Chinese restaurant at the top of the mountain, and hopping the skyride to visit the Magic Pagoda. They were up there somewhere. I don't remember the slow-moving dragon ride, but I most definitely recall Mountain Express, the mouse. It seemed huge back then. It's a shame they haven't had this style of family ride since. I fondly remember Spilliken Corners, probably because my mother enjoyed the crafts so much. For me, it was all about the fresh-made candies. We'd ride the train or the monorail. It was a different kind of park back then. Through the lens of nostalgia it seems much more charming than the hard-edged thrill park that replaced it, although I do love the current collection.

That mod folder would be entertaining reading. Too bad the price of entry is so high!

I was there last weekend. The ride's in a great place overlooking the park entrance. It also interacts with Medussa. It'll be very exciting to soar over the coaster while swinging at 150 ft. Oh yeah, it's nice to see this solid park get its own thread.

You can bribe me to go if you want! McDonald's gift card? A look would be great. Maybe not much has happened explaining the lack of updates from the park.

Chad, you're falling behind. Don't rest on your laurels. Let's see your latest adventures. (And the running of the bulls - don't forget that).

^I guess if you're going to dream, dream big. I just don't see the Mt piling on the premium flats. They've let basic carnival rides wear out without replacement. Anyone carry a camera up the tower lately? Green Lantern updates are few and far between.

This has been the year of the TPR event. Hopefully something good is coming down the road. Cheetah Hunt is looking great!

Roll odometer roll! More miles than a Toyota.

That train engine looks immaculate. Good BBQ? I'm looking forward to our visit! (Running of the bulls - let's see it!)

Another nice video. One question: Why is Linus wearing a black shirt?

Chad, I'm enjoying this sordid show. Please keep debasing yourself for our entertainment. Wonderland looks worth a stop, even for a prude. I can't think of any reason that would take me to or through Amarillo, so thanks for the great video look at a set of classic flats. Himalayas are cool.

^Superman Escape from Krypton, Supe's new name. The ride's great but the escape is at best aborted. You end up right back where you started!

Free Dueling Dragons! An indoor coaster sounds attractive on it's own merits, but given the HP attraction mix it seems odd. HP has an aggressive dark ride, a jr coaster, the Dragons and a few overcrowded shops. Does this thin gruel need a 4th coaster? Mix something else in.

Do you prefer any particular River Walk restaurants? We're making a Texas swing soon too. I haven't visited the River Walk in 20 years, but it was wonderful back then.

^That must have taken hours. Looking good; as a professional nit-picker (editor), I appreciate the effort involved in the project, a massive one considering the price (free) and lack of ads.

I haven't made it through the thread, so this may have already been covered. The TPR member review pane does not appear with a scroll bar on my iDevice. As a result, the second and all successive entries are cut off and inaccessible. EDIT: Some of the text blocks such as the directions are one big run-on paragraph, which makes them tough to read. A few CRs would help. Feature request (maybe already suggested): Tips for visiting the park. For example, for Magic Mt something along the lines of "At opening, break away from the herd and head to the back of the park for repeated rides on Deja Vu, Apocalypse, etc... X2 lines usually subside later in the day, so return then if you're in it for the long haul." I hope TPR's members will include that kind of practical advice in their reviews. EDIT 2: Oh yeah, this thing is awesome! Thanks for the hard work TPR overlords!

How many cakes can Sea World make with one hairy spider? It was a big spider and all but I'd want my money's worth.
