^I hate when people say that...especially 16 year olds! Dude, you're young, you have your whole life in front of you, why would you make a comment like that? *Note, if you have some terminal disease you haven't told us about or are banned from China, I understand.

^^Doesn't Nemesis have footers in a man made river?

Park Hyatt Tokyo CCTV Building in China Petronas Towers...I REALLY want to go here!! Come on 2013 TPR South East Asia Trip!!! This building we saw in Abu Dhabi freaks me out, but is kind of awesome.

^Oh yeah, it's working in the park that killed you. When I was working at a park it ruined me from ALL parks. It's one of the reasons I won't ever go back to working at a park again even if it's behind the scenes.

I'm not a fan of the LED accents, to me it looks like the rope lighting you'd buy at Ikea! I agree about the amber, but can't you just replace it with White or Clear?

I think you just have to balance it correctly. We live in a nice non-touristy area, but we can be in the 'touristy' area in 10 minutes and be at parks in 20 minutes. Robb has gone to the parks far more than I have. It's nice to have them as an option year round right down the street but not annoying me other times.

^There's always next year!

^^I have a solution...Intamin Trains on everything!

There's a single rider line on Dej...oh wait.

^You can think that all you want, but if they track better than a PTC I'd much prefer them! There are obviously coasters being built that PTC Trains can't handle. My worry is, this is one of them.

That overnight ferry was one of my favorite TPR Trip times ever! It was a beautiful trip, fun friends, and just worked so well! It also may be cause I like cruises and this was like a mini-one!

I wouldn't read to much into that generic job posting. Remember the fun we had with the generic Fright Fest descriptions that went live on the website? It seems like the people higher up and out of the parks don't really know what's going on too much.

Night Maze!

I think Robb and I went one year on either New Years Day or some other random busy day during Christmas Break. We got there before opening, literally got in, did a full lap and rode every coaster and ride we wanted (some rerides as well) and then left about 2 hours after opening. As we left, the hoards were POURING in and as we were leaving the parking lot they were heading towards over flow. Moral of the story...get there early, go quickly and ride all the major rides, then do minor stuff and animal stuff. It will be VERY busy.

I think I actually added 5-10 new woodies this year (which is a lot for me!) so I'll have to sit down at some point and figure it all out.

Just a reminder, you MUST mail out your gift by tomorrow! I expect to see a ton of Photo's posted in this thread this week of all the great gifts!

Hey, I'm just happy to see it testing! It does scare me a bit seeing those PTC's on it though. It would have looked so much better with the Timerliners.

Got some stuff over the weekend, going in the mail this morning!

^Friday night before WCB at SFMM on Saturday a lot of people will stay at the Holiday Inn Express. If you've used and feel comfortable with priceline or orbitz, it's often pretty easy to get a better deal for the Valencia area through them. For Saturday and Sunday nights we'll have some sort of group rate at the Knott's Hotel.

Saw this over on a cruise enthusiast message board and thought it was pretty funny. Apparently one of the Carnival ships just out of dry dock for some upgrades (including the Guy Fieri crap) has a ton of things misspelled all over! This was just one example! Oh Carnival!

^I am very much a Coca-Cola fan girl. I have never liked Pepsi or Pepsi products. We helped our local Chinese restaurant in Valencia switch from Pepsi to Coke! It really does make a difference to me.

Sierra Mist is pretty much the most disgusting lemon lime soda out there. I seriously try so hard not to drink it. KT doesn't even like it and she would do anything for soda! I am seriously so excited about them all switching to Coke products. It will make it slightly easier for me to deal with their lack of straws and lids now!

I don't understand all of this love for RC cola!?!? It tastes like generic store soda and can barely be found anywhere nowadays anyway! Back on track...YAY COKE!!!! Now we just need to convince Legoland to switch!

Let me jump in here as someone who doesn't really like either park very much! CP and SFMM are appealing to VERY different patrons. CP is doing a lot to entice families to stay on property for multiple nights every year or every other year. SFMM is building a big new thing to convince teenagers and young adults to come back every year or buy a cheap pass. It's not that one is right and one is wrong, they just both have very different business plans and futures right now. If you're a strict coaster enthusiast, then yes I see your frustration with CP versus SFMM, but if you're a park enthusiast or a business man you have to appreciate what CP is doing.

^^There won't be any proof yet, but this is exactly what we've been talking about for way too many pages now. He's just chosen to now believe us. Big Potter in Jaws area, small expansion in IOA, train connecting them. Now can we go back to discussing...oh wait, this is pretty much the only thing to discuss at Universal Orlando for the next who knows how many years now!
