Kristen was only 2.5 years old last time we were at that park and was too jet lagged and scared to ride the Dog Fart Coaster...I have a feeling next year will be quite different!

Yeah, the boomerang gave that really good head jab in the one spot of the boomerang element that they all give you but it wasn't as bad as Knott's Boomerang which I still think is the worst one I've been on.

Are you driving or flying? Where are you coming from? Like others have mentioned if you're going to drive and PASS SFA on your way to Virginia, have Six Flags Passes, and time, you might as well go in and get some rides on Superman and Wild One. The other three parks on your list are MUCH superior though!

What's the most dangerous complicated recipe out there? That's the one I suggest! Here's a list of some I found: Savory souffles Coq au vin Mole Beef Wellington Napoleons Paella Puff pastry Baked Alaska Croissants Sourdough bread Haggis Peking Duck

I'm going to suggest this to Sally Corp. on our factory tour this weekend.

I hope Paula (and our other non-Disney crazy people) understand some of the jokes being said in this thread. Long story short: - We love the bands - We love RFID - Some people are insane and wear Aluminum Foil Hats - Some people are insane and complain they will get a tan line due to the band

I totally missed this while we were in Mexico. Amazing, glad Joe got to see it as well. I feel like he has almost passed the terrible food cooking reports on to you in a way and I'm excited for your next cooking adventure of blurry pictures and sometimes following recipes!

Nice report! We know that we put on 'Coaster/Theme Park Tours' and that is always the main focus. But when we go to a place that either doesn't have a lot of coasters, or has something of extreme cultural significance, or we want to give our people some time to de-jetlag or acclimatize to altitude we love getting to include something like this. Also, I think this picture just SCREAMS Facebook profile/background photo!

^Yes, but Jen, you're forgetting two BIG pieces of information... 1. Alabama 2. Carnival

Have I mentioned how excited I am for the Scandi Trip next year!?!? Bon-Bon land rules!

I can watch them work on the woodie from my trapeze class! It kind of amuses me and gives me the strength to climb the 24 foot ladder!

Geez Chuck, what do you have against all those poor innocent sea creatures that you would send them a Carnival ship!?!?

Just found this picture: From the Daily Mail

The show was also in a concrete theater with no shade which wasn't too appealing.

Even with no guests and not at sea the Carnival ship has the power to ruin peoples lives...amazing.

Lines for the big rides in the 'offseason' can get 1+hour, but most rides won't be. If you don't want to wait in line, buy Fast Lane and don't wait at all!

^Yes. It was the same preshow video and anything that was displayed in English was still in English but it was dubbed in Spanish.

Lots of newer more modern water parks offer the wristbands. The water parks in Dubai offer the wristband which is your admission, locker key, towel exchange and more! Love to see new technology like this coming to more parks.

If you look at a map you'll see it's pretty unrealistic to make one or even two base camps. The US is much bigger than England and you have to be willing to switch hotels and drive a lot. As for timing, it's pretty difficult. If you wait till October you'll run into most parks being weekends only. The parks have really streamlined their schedules lately and go to weekends only AS SOON as the kids go back to school. May would be a better bet, except US parks no longer get their rides open for Memorial Day necessarily so you may miss out there.

I love seeing our trips through our participants eyes! Keep it up!

^^^Had to look up 'travelers'. Hadn't heard that one before. For those of you too lazy to look it's basically a scary gypsy day at the park!

This is your last chance to sign up for Japan! I will be closing it out at the end of the week. Email me now if you're interested or lose your chance!

I finished all the quests after building the Adult Education Annex. I actually thought it was a good length and kept me busy for over a week which is nice. Same thing though with the weird 'are we done or not' ending.

It's not "too bad", we "chose" where we went to. That fair is like Puyallup, where it is only open a couple of weeks out of the year. We knew we weren't going to hit that coaster on this trip. We'll do different versions of the Mexico trip in the future, that may or may not include that coaster. There are also plenty of other credits we didn't go to in Mexico also. Please don't make it out like it was poor planning or something that didn't allow us to get to Zonga - it was by choice!

^Yeah, I agree that would be cool. Like Robb had mentioned the game really needs a 'mini-game' component as well. Amber was over watching KT yesterday and showed us a game she's been playing which is very similar to the simpsons but then you can take the characters and do little mini-games with them to earn money or XP. Very simple and adds a whole other level to the game. Imagine a game with Bart skate boarding where you had to jump over obstacles and collect coins or a Tapper game in Moe's Tavern.
