One thought about today's event...does this usually go up against the Superbowl? Seems odd to have such a high profile performer (Kid Rock) on Superbowl Sunday when I'd assume a lot of his audience will be watching the game.

^Probably just overweight Intamin haters. Sucks to be them!

^I had the Hummus and Bread!

^Yeah, from what I understand (and done partly on purpose) is that we went the first time and the ride was brand new and our second visit it had just been completely retracked!

Robb, Jake, and I tried the new Moroccan Restaurant at Epcot yesterday for the first time. It was really good and the location was CRAZY! I can't imagine the fights there will be for Illuminations seating when word gets out more how fabulous of a location this is. It reminded me a lot of the Italy Wine Bar. Same feel, same sort of menu options, and great service.

Of course we're going back in 2015! I've already told you guys that! I think I told you that before we even left the first time, and it was only solidified when we had such a fabulous time!

^If you check out the S&S Free Spin & Tour thread you'll see we asked S&S about this project on our tour.

^I'd say that's an EXCELLENT start!

I used to think nothing would ever beat out the "Insect - o - Slide" at Wild Adventures until I saw the "S-Car-Go" Snail themed electric car ride in Taiwan!

^I'm pretty sure they can thank TPR for that increase in spending!

I really hope to see more of these. There are quite a few in Europe and Asia I don't understand why this hasn't taken off more here. It worked great and was very reasonably priced. If we had one in Orlando I would go all the time!

^The factory is not open to the public. If you want to see rides like these at more parks and your home park you should just spread the word as much as you can. Post on the parks facebook page, post on twitter, all over and get people interested!

When you say 'we', who are you talking about? Adults, children? What kind of parks/coasters do you like? If you're anywhere in Germany I would always suggest Europa Park. Then followed by Holiday Park and Phantasialand with the area you'll be in. But if you're looking for something a little more 'kitchy' I would also add in Klotten or Tripsdrill to those suggestions.

Very smart of Mitch to do that. And yes, it deserved to be at the very bottom. It was criminal that they allowed that ride to be open this season and to put 7 year old children on it!!!!

Congratulations to Silver Dollar City and Outlaw Run for coming in #3 in the big Wood Coaster Poll! Such a solid awesome ride!

^I don't think you can exclusively blame the Florida Weather for Gwazi. Dania Beach Hurricane was great and smooth and had equally terrible Florida weather if not worse.

^That's more in line with what I've heard as well. Plus that downtime figure SFMM released is a bit questionable!

^I don't quite get why the AirNZ one is going Viral. Most of the International carriers have had really awesome in flight safety videos for years now. The Delta one is a big deal because a US Carrier is finally jumping on that bandwagon.

^It's WAY bigger than the coaster enthusiast community.

This was my first thought as well. There better be a lot of dinosaurs once the park is done! I want a slide where I end up in a T-Rex Mouth!

In the cruise ship enthusiast community they're all FURIOUS that so little information has been released on Quantum. I compare it to the new Harry Potter Coaster where you can see the outside and you have an idea, but you can't see the inside and since nothing has been announced no one knows! People who are booked on Quantum had their dining preferences removed a couple of months ago that has now led to crazy speculation on a whole new system of dining and dining options. We're booked on it and don't really care! I'm sure it will be fun and interesting!

^Ahh okay, makes sense, thanks!

To me this is a good idea for an investment. The park has spent the last what, five plus years, focusing on the families and bringing the park up to shape. Now they're also focusing on the teens and adults in the family. Seems like they know what they're doing!
