I don't even know what to make of this!!?!? http://www.carnival.com/about-carnival/vacation-guarantee.aspx?icid=CC_carnival-vacation-guarantee_1700 I don't see how this will help them in anyway!!! I can see a bunch of cheap terrible people booking a cruise just to get a free 24 hour cruise! It also seems like a nightmare for logistics/planning/etc. Thoughts?

Someone has posted that JubJub has tasks?!!? Let me know and I may need to buy the pet store!

This is just another example of how awesome Matt Ouimet is compared to old Kinzel. Imagine that, putting CHARM back in a Cedar Fair park! So cool!

Some amazing photos and video coming out of Seaside Heights right now! From nj.com: And here's more from CBS...explosions and 6 Alarm reported! Here they are cutting apart the boardwalk to create a fire line to stop it spreading to the newly re-built area. The fire is so big, the smoke plume is showing up on weather radar.

Disco Stu also came with the update!!! He costs donuts, but I've been waiting for him since the game started so I had to buy!!! He talks and his first task is already awesome. Anyone know what the pet store does?

^AHHH!!! So excited, going to log in now!!!

Email has been sent out to everyone who showed an interest in the Scandi Trip!

FYI - If you are interested in the Scandinavia Trip and have not yet emailed me, do so ASAP! I will be sending out information to ONLY those who messaged me about the trip very soon and this may be your only chance to get on it!

^You really didn't need to post this in EVERY Disney thread we have.

^That's Thanksgiving, it's going to be packed.

And $5 becomes mine!

^You've been to Australia!?!?! WHAT?!!? Next thing you're going to tell me is that PKIJizzMan has also been there!?!?

I wouldn't get an iPhone 5C, I would get one for KT. To me it seems like a phone for either kids/teens or people that break their phone a lot and can't be trusted with a real one! I want to look at a 5S and my 5 side by side before I'd decide on upgrading. For me, the only reason is the camera and if it does as great as it says it does indoor and with the new flash it may be worth it.

Great TR! When are we going back!??! Oh yeah, in six months!!!!

^Just what I was thinking! Love it!

Surprised this didn't get posted... LOVE IT! No smoking on balconies and barely allowed anywhere on the ships now! Only major lines that still allow smoking on balconies are Carnival and Norwegian. I figure with this announcement we'll lose some smokers over to those lines which is fine with me! Some of the choice comments from the smokers include "If I'm paying for a balcony I should be able to do whatever I want out there!" to which normal rational people respond "What like murder people? Fire up the BBQ? Run around naked?" Just cause you are staying in a balcony for a cruise doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!

These awards still exist? Meh, they don't matter to me and 99.99999% of the population! And opinion or not, anyone who ranks Cedar Point above DisneySea I never need to talk to again.

Sorry, we were away for WCB, let me answer a few questions... First off anything $1200 or less for Scandi Airfare is FANTASTIC. I should be able to give those of you who get deposits in the okay to book flights VERY soon so we can all lock in these rates. Mini-New Hotness is a great first time TPR Trip, and of course we always get our participants FastLane, Fastlane+, Flashpass, whatever skip the line program plus ERT! Bill, I have about 40 parks on my 'weird parks of Japan' spreadsheet so I foresee more weird park trips in the future. Won't be Spring Break of 2015 cause I can 99% say that's Mexico, but you know we'll repeat it.

Come on, does anyone honestly believe that the family didn't get insane and obnoxious with the park? Like others said, they wouldn't just kick the family out for the shirt. He actually admits to questioning the park about the policy which means he did more than that. And I'm sure he did it in a totally obnoxious fashion!

I was just going to ask right before the tour to confirm that there wouldn't be any actors in there as a surprise/bonus. My six year old has been wanting to do more scary Halloween stuff but I know she's not quite ready for a full HHN or Haunt type attraction. A tour like this though would be perfect for her if there aren't any surprises. Just stick with me or Robb before the tour when we ask to see if it's okay for young kids.

^There are not TWO West Coast Tours. We are voting whether to do one during Spring Break or one during Summer Break or not at all. Had you read down to the bottom of the page you would have known that. That makes me not really want to even bother responding to the rest of your question, but since I'm a better person I will. We are not offering any East Coast Tours next year because there has not been that much added since we did two East Coast tours in 2011 and 2012. I would feel fairly confident that we will offer another in 2015.

^Is the Ultimate Fort the new Prison Break type themed one? If so, yes some of our people did it, but it was mostly lost in translation as there were a lot of 'tasks' and things to do.

^We always tell people to wait until the trip board is open and I post "Ok, you can now book your flights." That being said, if you found some super amazing airfare around those dates and were okay if something ended up moving up or back a day then that would be okay as well too. I'm going to solidify and open up the Scandi Trip Board by next week so it's probably best to just wait until then. I want to buy my airfare now as well since I'm seeing SUPER great deals!

If you practice a little bit of Japanese they should allow you to buy 2 - 4 passes for EACH ride offered. With a bit of negotiation and speaking a decent amount of Japanese I was able to buy 10 passes per hour per ride for our big group this summer. Yes, most of them are up the exit but they are sign posted. They BARELY speak any English. Learn your numbers and the two words for hour and minute, those easy things will help you immensely. You can also write it down on paper. For example Fujiyama - 12:00 - 13:00 hand them that paper and they should figure it out. The other rides are all written in Japanese and you'll have to copy or take photos.

I must say, I'm actually almost proud of our TPR Community for NOT going to this and staying far far away in a safe place!
