Waterparks, anyone?
SharkTums replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^Wow, you're all about bringing topics back from the dead today! Anyways, I love waterparks! I went to a few new ones this past season and hope to hit some more new ones this year! -
Dive Machines? What are your thoughts?
SharkTums replied to downunder's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, this thread was resurrected! Anyways, I've always been a fan of Oblivion, and Shakira just blows it away! A lot of us were worried about Busch and B&M toning it down, but Shakira in the back seat is AMAZING! I really think I would say that BGT has 3 of the top 10 B&M's in the world. Not too shabby! I recently found my 'onride DVD' from Sheikra that you can purchase at the exit, I'll try and find a way to post it because it is sooooo terribly bad!!! -
I'm guessing New York isn't listed because they do have a lot of great Public transportation options. I've seen a lot of these first hand. LA is consistantly the worst, but some of the worst one or two time rush hours I've ever seen have been in DC, Paris, and Chicago.

Oops, forgot to post my reasoning, sorry it's been insane here... Two major complaints: - I thought that the 3D animation made the traditional 2D characters look terrible!!! Seriously, they just looked so wrong! - Donald ruined the movie! Would it have been so horrible to just have these awesome Disney movie scenes redone, enhanced, etc. Donald just didn't seem to mix in right. And it's called MICKEY's Philharmagic, not Donald!!!! Sorry, I know I'm being petty, but the 3D just looked bad to me, call me old fashioned I guess!

Darn, forgot to chime in till now!!! I LOVED Alien Encounter. Stitch is a disgrace that makes me SICK!!! The only positive to Stitch is that they kept Skippy and he doesn't get burned now!!!!

Another Disney Ride Accident
SharkTums replied to CoasterJunkie's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hold on a second, Just because the guy was 70 doesn't say anything!!! My dad will be 70 this year and outhiked all of us at the Grand Canyon last month. Look at Jeff Johnson, he wouldn't need the platform stopped! ANY of us could trip, fall, etc. In Florida, it's not out of the ordinary to see LOTS of old people out and about, why would they stop the platform just because someone is old??? -
^I thought I told you, you were crazy already!!! Anyways...my comments having been to some of these places. You're going to be credit whoring only, if that's what you want, that's fine. I would not choose this itinerary. Toverland exceeded my expectations by far. If you're going thinking you're only going to ride the two credits and leave, well you'll miss out on some really cool stuff. Even with the park dead we did not do everything we wanted in 3 hours. Walibi World, as long as it isn't crowded should be okay. Robb and I did not like Efteling, so just credit whore the place and you'll be out in under 2 hours, but then you'll have all of the Europeans yelling at you! Bobbejaanland / Walibi Belgium...that's also asking for trouble. Bobbejaanland blew us all away and they have A LOT of attractions. At WB try to do a few things other than the credits. Drop tower is great, Sally dark ride is fun, etc. I'm not sure of your schedule, but Bobbejaanland opens the park in sections so not everything will be open at opening. Hope for no traffic and you can manage, but don't go in expecting to see everything and get every credit.

Is Williams Grove Really Dead?
SharkTums replied to momo1tx's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would much rather see some money and saving of rides go for better attractions and parks! Still freaked out by the TICK on me!!!! -
Space World to Get Rocket Coaster
SharkTums replied to MSLSM's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ahh, cool to see finally where they are putting this thing! No wonder we didn't notice. This is technically 'outside' the park, to the left (opposite side of the train station) of the entrance. Can't wait to ride it! -

Was he hurt or not? I mean I thought to be flown by a helicopter you have to be pretty messed up! -

Marineland Gets a Topple Tower
SharkTums replied to niiicolaaah's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would hope they build it in one of the giant areas of NOTHING! -
I'm pretty sure we were all joking.

I would just bring all your clean clothes over, then bring 2 weeks of dirty ones back! If the hotel has it's own little laundry mat that can be okay, but if you have to 'send your clothes out' that can be expensive. I'm sure there are some scary laundry mats in Orlando you can do a Photo TR of!

Ok, we had a total of 47 official guesses! I will be updating this thread with some facts, pictures, and more leading up to the big count! Today's Fact: Guesses Ranged from - $4.65 to $750!!! That's a lot of wrong people!!! More facts and figures later! -
I'm really trying to figure this out... Two guys fell in the water, one guy was fine, the other they couldn't find for 25 minutes? Is the water that disgusting? Did the other guy not even notice? I'm confused and want more details! But yes, I too blame Vekoma!
