Um, obviously Southwests open seating can't be that amazing since they're switching to seat assignments! Robb and I used to fly Southwest A LOT! They had cheap fares and lots of flights. Lately though it seems their prices are just as high as the 'normal' carriers, but their quality of clientele has continued to remain the 'greyhound bus of the sky'. I'll stick with Delta, United, and whatever random International Carrier I need to get out of this country!

Cough, Thunder Dolphin, Cough I'll reserve my judgement for when I ride it. But for now I think it looks like a fun, family thrill ride! (ala Powder Keg or Cali Screamin) -
SFMM - 2006 Fright Fest
SharkTums replied to wrs28330's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They've been weird about it in the past. It seemed to depend on who you got working at the Fast Lane center. I had been given both, I have also been told I have to choose one or the other. Don't know if they ever made a real policy on it! -
Stephen King's The Stand (and other books)
SharkTums replied to thomas2's topic in Random, Random, Random
I also love this book. And for a TV Miniseries, they did a pretty good job too! Any story that deals with wiping out 99.9% of humanity is cool with me! -
SFGAdv Fright Fest 2006
SharkTums replied to GAcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I still think that the Hayride at SFGAd, is by far the best Fright Fest Attraction at any Six Flags park! I hope it comes back! -

^Don't you think that your kids are just inheriting your attitude about Disney? If I lived in Orlando, I would educate my kids and show them how awesome Disney can be. I wouldn't take them when there were 3 hour lines as you claim is always the case! -
Tokyo Disney Sea?

I'm pretty sure it's the same exact layout (not a mirror like Dinosaur) with 2 different effects. -

Since we're all enthusiasts, I changed the toilet to a food related bowl! Hope this makes you cringe less Paula! -
Waterslide that goes up without jets?
SharkTums replied to ArrowHater's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
There also was a slide with an uphill portion at Delgrosso's in PA. No jets or conveyors. You have to meet a specific weight requirement, and even then I still saw people getting stuck! -
Boy I wish they had McFlurry's here instead.

Theme Park Review's 2007 Group Trips!
SharkTums replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Dude, honestly, if you have so many questions, issues, problems, you might want to reconsider doing an organized trip. I'm pretty sure your question was covered in chat. -
I have been to Utah several times, but never for amusement parks. Robb has been to Lagoon. We are planning a trip next year to do all of the parks.

I've stopped on California Screamins Lift Hill a few times, I wouldn't worry. -

Again, if this place survives somehow, and B&B right on I-4 died...that will just be insane! CG wasn't very nice when we went there, we also had to find rideops and lots of attractions were closed. I *Love* Wild Adventures and was shocked at the difference in the parks. I hope they shut down CG and send all the coasters to WA so they can give Cedar Point a run for their coaster record!! But then again, where is our Cypress Garden fanboy member who claims that CG is better than the Magic Kingdom??? -

We invented the damn McFlurry!!! -If I pay this first deposit using Paypall I have to pay 205$? (I'm not stupid, just non-english speaking) Correct -I never travelled so far by plane alone and I have to switch planes in Chicago. I did travel by plane alot, but always with my parents. Is it difficult to switch in Chicago? Is that a big airport and do you get lost easily there? For you it will probably be easier to switch in Europe. Switching in America is asking for trouble. Why don't you take a train to Paris and fly direct to CVG from there? -I have exact 45 min. between my arrival from Brussels and departure to Cincinnati. You guys think I can make that? No, that will not work at all, you have NO chance. -Does your english has to be really good to travel to and within the US? Since you're going on an organized tour, no it does not have to be that good. You should speak enough to get by, but since we will be sorting out all of your park tickets, hotels, transportation, and some meals, there won't be much for you to worry about. -Does anyone perhaps know a cheap airline between brussels and cincinnati? Right now I only know SNBrussels Airlines that fly between these cities. Anyone know another? Thanks for looking! Hope this helps! -

^Um, they don't have it because its seating arrangement is 2 x 2 x 2. Test Track is 3 x 3. So when you have a group of 4, they assign you 2 in the front 2 in the back. On Journey, this leaves no singles, on Test Track this leaves 2 singles. Get it? Journey's seating makes a lot more sense.

^^If this is true...Let's Review... Kid turns 48'' they can either ride Jaguar at Knotts or Maverick at Cedar Point...anything wrong with that!?!?!? Eh, if anything this just proves that Cedar Fair can buy Knotts, but it will never be the Cedar Point of the West Coast! -

I'd like to know the stuff that really matters, like how many trains, and what the height requirement will be. To me, it looks a lot like Powder Keg. As for the Aquatrax thing...ahh, that was so much fun! -

I guess my problem with this whole thing is why is everyone making such a big deal out of this??? It's not really new, different, special, anything. Is it just because it's at CP? I don't even remember this much buzz before Voyage was announced! Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is such a big deal? I think there have already been better rides announced for next year! -
