^ Awesome shot of the entry at dusk! That will be the view as the park is closing, really. The moon and the arriving planes to McCarran. Also, slide assembly WHOO!

I highly doubt it's open in February, but Ai Pioppi in Italy? It's in Northern Italy, not too far from Venice and Lake Garda, which is why I doubt it's open since Gardaland and Movieland Studios don't open until April. Anyway, in case that actually is where you're off to, here's my reasoning. Scott Pilgrim - "Gelato isn't vegan?" "Milk and eggs, bitch." Cow and chicken machine - Milk and eggs. Elsa and Anna - Bitches (ghetto-slang version). Carnegie Deli - Delis are Italian. Especially that one. Julia Stiles - Google claims 1/3rd Italian. Soda - Italian soda is way better than American soda. McDonalds - We hit up a highway rest area McDonalds on the Italy 2012 TPR trip. Multiple flushes for a toilet - Italians like eggplant. Eggplant gives you gas. Farts galore! Mel Brooks / Producers - The owner of Ai Pioppi created the park from scratch and built everything himself. He produced it. Bally's - No clue on this one. DEVO - Since the rides are homemade, it's kind of a de-evolution of ride technology. Racetrack - Italians love their racing. Rent - No clue, but I hate both the movie and the show. Hmm, maybe they're going to Paris instead! Rollercoasters and flat rides pics - There's both at Ai Pioppi. Happy Horse Year - That is the sign from inside The Venetian / The Palazzo Las Vegas at their seasonal display for the Chinese New Year. So that's the current guess and homework. Ai Pioppi.

At this point I'm fairly certain Robb is on some good drugs and we're getting stream of conciousness posts, hahaha.

There's a chicken. Kentucky.

Well crap. Snow. Raleigh/Durham?

Coke, flat, no snow. Atlanta it is!

Judging by the given photos, and assuming you're flying Delta (since you always do unless you're going to Vegas), and assuming your flight was actually on the departure board picture, you're either going to a city that is currently engulfed in snow and ice, or Atlanta. Or the men's room.

Alright, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is Mack's Blue Fire coaster concept, yes? As in same tech as Blue Fire and Manta. I just want to make sure because then I'll know how OMG INSANELY TERRIFYING this ride will be. The trains they use on that model is the most devilish thing you can imagine for airtime and inversions. In a good way of course! Excellent update, btw!

^ That was my first comment to Robb when we saw it today, haha.

Mystery River at Movie Park Germany. INSANE rapids and dark ride mix. The river flows faster than you can believe and 3/4s of the ride is indoors.

^ That's "themeing."

I couldn't help but think of Bubb Rubb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTtnraRup9A

Magic Mountain is in a tier all their own. Trust me, nobody looks at them for advice on how to operate.

Oh no...Chinese knockoff Dragster. Bad things are gonna happen.

Yeah, that's where a group of us went hiding when that insane rainstorm hit during the Europe 2012 trip. Unfortunately we had JUST finished lunch at the mexican place around the corner before ducking in there so we didn't sample the goodies.

Soooo, jumping in a page late to the Skloosh control panel. I CALLED IT FIRST! SKLOOSH REFURB, BABY! WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Page 201. I'll accept my reward in the form of cold, hard cash.

The dilapidated chinese rollercoaster set for destruction was probably better than Son Of Beast, buddy!

That looks like a really fun ride. I've ridden Raptor and Wild Eagle and enjoyed them both. They're not huge on thrills but they are very fun, especially Raptor. The interactive themeing was incredible on that one!

What about Mindbender at West Edmonton Mall? I have no idea how fast that thing is moving as it enters the loops but it seems wicked.

^ Raging Wolf Bobs was a fun one. Nothing spectacular but an interesting layout.

Always good news when a new park is built! Nice of them to add this is. Meanwhile Vegas is going to have two waterparks and we're running out of water fast. That's not a desert joke, either. Our main source of water is the snowmelt from the Rockies and it has been diminishing each year.

EuroMIR. The soundtrack melts your brain. In a good way, of course.

I'm still wondering why nobody has bought the damn thing. It's already fabricated, sitting in pieces across from Mandalay Bay. All anyone would have to do is screw it together which I'm guessing significantly reduces the buying price.

Have you ridden Blue Fire?! That thing tries to tear you from the train no matter where you sit. Manta has some pretty intense airtime in the back seat, too.

^ You little... I started reading the thread and saw stuff from Astroworld and actually googled whether it had closed. Then I realized the posting date.
