It was fine, very smooth, a lot of fun, not too forceful, but very fun. I am surprised more parks didn't build Intamin Inverts instead of B&M ones. I am really looking forward to riding the other Tornado in June!

^Call me at some point and we'll work it all out. I get free parking and fastlanes with my pass (so does Robb), I'm sure I can duck out of work enough time to help you out. Plus with your new plan you can stay at our place on Wednesday and we can setup "ParkTrips Cam"...ahh the fun will never end! EDIT As for USH Discounts, your pass doesn't get you crap, but I think me being a passholder gets you something, or we can always ask two of our Universal employees here on the board to hook you up!

The nighttime show at Universal Osaka was nice, this sounds even better. Glad to see they're trying something!

I kind of don't like American Trains after I took the train from Ft. Lauderdale to New York City and got Chicken Pox so was confined to my room for 2.5 days! I would love to see America get some real high speed trains like in Europe and Asia, that would be sweet!

SFMM's Deja Vu has now been closed for more than 2 months! Although with Robb's promise I'm kind of hoping they do get it open!

I did 4 in a day in March! It was awesome! There's just something about doing that and seeing how different all the parks are and yet how awesome they all are! Ahhh Peoplemover, probably one of my all time favorite MK Rides!

I still cant' decide about Rita! I thought the launch was TERRIBLE, but the ride was still fun at the same time. Heck, I actually got airtime in 2 places! I wanted to hate the ride, but came away feeling kind of 'giddy', although I didn't bother waiting again, so who knows! When I ride again in June I'll see if I can make up my mind!

I say do the ultimate 'non-amusement park' trip and credit whore all the crap. Scandia Castle Pharoahs Santa Monica If you can do that all in one day, hit up Universal/Vu (if it's open) the other. Save TJ for when you can go in a group, safety in numbers you know!

As someone who works for a non-profit, I can say that this is a great idea! Everyone wins! Go and bid now! And even if you can't go, especially as we're near tax time, a friendly reminder to give to charity! If you're not sure where to donate your money, consider Holiday Worlds preferred non-profit: Riley Children's Foundation (or there's always my favorite, Special Olympics!) Thanks for the heads up Paula!

We did our reservations by fax and got a confirmation number right back, so sorry, but no help here!

What credits and parks have you already been to? That will help me!

Wait Wait Wait...I am so lost...how do you do like special moves and stuff?!!?

^Find us a good pub, close to Heathrow for Friday night!

Storm Runner, Xcelerator, and Kanonen all seem to be pretty hassle free. I'm pretty surprised that Stealth is having all of these problems since it's not one of the big bad evil ones! I'm sure it will get worked out soon.

Forget a picture, go steal one!!!!

I can get some from SFMM.

Will, Hilarious!!!! Grrr, I got X!!!!

Again, we WERE AMAZED!!! And maybe when you see the full video you'll see. We were congratulating the Spanish scaffolding dudes! Do you at least see my point that if we had known that the ride wouldn't open until 4, we could have done other stuff that day? That was our complaint, not that it was open/not open/got it open, etc.

Dude, I'm not getting this hostility here!?!?!? We couldn't see the scaffolding on the ride until we were in the park.

Oh Derek, that tomato and mozzarella looks SOOOOO good!!! I need a good replacement since it seems I will never get my salad at Mythos again...

^I think the point was that it was nowhere informed that the ride would be closed, or open later or anything. There were only 4 rides on the 'rides closed' board. I was shocked that it even opened at all with scaffolding on it! Don't get me wrong there, the point was we could have planned our day differently if they told us it wouldn't open until 4pm. Instead of it supposedly being open for noon, then 1, then 2, etc. At WBMW they listed StuntFall as Closed, and I respect that. I asked someone and they said it might open later. To me, that system works a lot better.

I feel dirty...I saw the Next bus (horrible mtv dating show) in Valencia yesterday!

I've gone by myself for a few different reasons: - Ran into BGT to get a quick ride on Gwazi (when it was good) because I had a pass and my ride back and forth from college did not! - Ran into IOA got a few rides and ate at Mythos before picking random people up at Orlando Airport. - SFMM Duh, Tatsu updates! I don't want to make anyone else have to put up with those! - Maybe some other ones randomly here or there.

Max (Catholic Boy!) lives right near there! Yeah, it's still pretty Action Parkish, just with some nicer slides now.

Just take I-75!
