Erik & Smisty's Florida Oddventures
technfxrick replied to Electerik's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Parrot Jungle is actually great now. It's on it's own island and goes by "Jungle Island" now. I've gone a few times this year. As for other local attractions, Coral Castle is a must. I thought the opposite when i went to Parrot Jungle last year, they have some large cats there too, but they are all kept in very small enclosures. we were there for like 2 hours, and i honelstly didnt think it was worth it (and i didnt have to pay for it) -
I tried to get the credits 2 years ago, i took a cab to the border, and then got a cab on the other side, whole thing took me about 3 hours. When i got there (around 7-8pm) the park was closing, but 2 of the 3 credits wernt operational (one was missing the train) and the one that was, wouldnt let me on (Gusano Loco). All in all the whole place was pretty run down, and not somewhere i would bother trying to make the trip back to.

Where in the World is Robb & Elissa???
technfxrick replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Probably with Elissa's Parents, i'm sure that while Elissa and Robb love Kristen, they could use some time alone, especially if it is there wedding Anniversary. EDIT If you look on Elissa's Facebook, her parents are at the McDonald's with them -

My vote is still for Dubai, then Abu Dhabi, for the reasons i have posted, plus others have. Also London doesnt make sense as a destination because of the flight times. -

I am definately going with Dubai. The Dubai flight just landed, http://www.ua2go.com/flifo/FlightSummary.do?Check=&date=20101202&fltNbr=976&deparr=D&orig=&dest=&time=00002359&Check.x=49&Check.y=15 . The flight connected through Denver, and all though everyone points out Dubai is 80 miles from Abu Dhabi, there is a lot of stuff to see in Dubai, and there are even a few small credits. My guess, LAX-DIA-IAD-DXB on United flight 976. Spend some time in Dubai, then go to Abu Dhabi later on. -

Ok well then i think they are at Dulles, that was my first guess as i fly out of that airport once or twice a week, but the pictures of Singapore Air and Denver through me off. I'm back to thinking there going to Dubai. http://www.ua2go.com/flifo/FlightSummary.do?Check=&date=20101202&fltNbr=&deparr=D&orig=IAD&dest=Dubai&time=00002359&Check.x=35&Check.y=7 The flight times work out. -

According to this picture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Denver_International_Airport_terminal.jpg they are at Denver Airport, but Singapore Air doesnt fly out of Denver, which means that picture was taken when they were still at LAX -

My guess is JFK right now, as that is the only place Singapore Air flys the A380 to that is currently night time at. I think that all of Asia has been ruled out, as why fly across the country to go to singapore (though Singapore Air does fly out of Newark, they dont use the A380). So my guess is somewhere in Europe, maybe the UAE. -

They Flew United out of LAX, i fly through there at least once a month, i would recognize that terminal anywhere. Other than that i have no clue. -

So what your saying is that since Prince Desmond came into the picture, they have now received MORE donations than before he was an influential part of saving the rolling coaster? Absolutely, Prince Desmond is the reason for all Coasters being saved, i would not be suprised if he used his considerable influence to also meld the Pepsi Project to Get the Blue Streak to win, and he might of even had a hand in Knoebles resurecting phoenix. He has a part in all that we do. -
