Conquering Disney on Memorial Day Weekend
Homeboy23 replied to Vince the Floridian's topic in Ask Alvey
I will second Barry's "thrill ride tour" as I did something very similar two summers ago at the end of June with the only difference I did Epcot last instead of Magic Kingdom and it worked out perfect. I got on all the rides I wanted to in all four parks in one day. What type of phone do you have? They are a few apps on Droid (If it is on Droid it is probably on the Iphones) that have wait times for rides which is not as accurate as the queue board at each park but if you are walking around having the wait times on your phone is very helpful. -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
Homeboy23 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Anyone flying into Richmond for KD and doesn't want to rent a car, you may have an option now. The bus system that runs normally around downtown announced a special route to Kings Dominion that will run 8 times a day. The cost of the bus is $5 each way. The earliest bus leaves downtown at 7:50 am (Can't tell if it is for employees only, if it is the next bus leves at 9:15 AM) and the last bus departs KD at 11:30 PM and it says to take around 45 minutes. You still would have to pay a cab to take you to downtown where the bus picks you up at. There is some hotels across the street from KD so staying overnight and taking a bus back the next day would be easy too.

Why do people who go 60mph in a 65mph zone only speed up when you try to pass them and then continue to try and keep their car right next to you?

^ I do the hood thing some times because people look at me like I am going to rob the place. I get a good laugh out of people automatically think that just because of the hood. Why in my department we have the manager, a lady under her and then me. But yet I am one who is forced to make all the decisions on different policies and everything else? It makes no sense.

Am I the only one who finds this kind of a double standard?

^ I'll be there from 10-2 Saturday. Intimidator will probably be one of only 3 rides I will be riding -
lol.. Imagine my surprise on my first visit to SFMM last June. I was just figuring that everyone would power walk to it thinking running wouldn't be allowed so I thought I would be fine. As the gate opened I realized people started to jog and go quicker so I had to either redo my plan in my head or run. I decided to run and ended up on the first train of the day, but the ride op was laughing his butt of at me since I was so out of breath.

Depends on the car. One slice of pizza and a drink at the park costs around $6-$7 And the last time I went to the Burger King across the street their prices were higher than the usual Burger King. -

The Official East Coast Bash 2011 Thread!
Homeboy23 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This would give me a reason to get back to Hershey, but since I already have 7 days off of work in a row for the NE trip I don't know if I could manage the Monday after off. But I guess I could just do the 4 hour drive at night and only get a couple hours of sleep -

I never had it in me to make the drive from Orlando just to ride the Dania Beach Hurricane but now that the greatest sea lion show ever is somewhat close by I may have to make the drive down next time I am in Florida. Great trip report, btw. -
My only rant is that I have a 0% winning percentage on the Santa Claw
