SharkTums

If you ask me the only thing California has that I like better than the other places I have lived is the scenery and the weather. Elissa "I wouldn't mind visiting here, but I'm ready to move out" Alvey

Tropicana Field was much better when it was the "ThunderDome". Then the Tampa Bay Lightning got a new stadium and Tropicana Field was born...it sucks. Wow, I saw Alanis Morissette at the ThunderDome...now I feel old! Elissa "traffic around there sucks too!" Alvey

I think we might just do 'hangover' day on Sunday instead of the event on Saturday. Too many people! I know that Knoebels does a great job with capacity, but I'm just not a 'crowd' kind of person! Hopefully some of you will still be there on Sunday! Elissa "I guess I should look for airline tickets soon!" Alvey

^^Sorry, but just because a 12 year old from Texas says 'End Discussion'...well...I'm trying to be nice here...it's not! Keep discussing everyone! I'm impressed with the overall behavior! Elissa "'It', please tone some of your posts down" Alvey

^Yeah because these meets are quite life threatening. Elissa "maybe if I have RatTums all give you the plague!" Alvey

Awww, he's wearing his Fynn hat! I used to be on my school's tennis team...we should play sometime! Elissa "I bet Fynn would kick my ass!" Alvey

We have meets setup to places we are either visiting or near where we live. Sorry but right now San Antonio is not in our near future plans. Elissa "although I do love Riverwalk!" Alvey

^^Yeah you can buy shirts...if there are still some left, we are down to less than 10 of each size (some sizes only have 2 or 3 left). ^We'd love to have you! Elissa "one video segment done, 19 to go!" Alvey

LOL!!! It's called "He met Elissa and I cleaned him up!" Actually that show was older than 2002...I believe it was either 99 or 2000. Elissa "silly old Robb...new & improved Robb is much better!" Alvey

I found a site that has some pictures of the rides I was talking about at Atlantis: http://www.sbcontrol.com/atlantis.htm I'm expecting something quite similar but done on even a grander level from Sea World! Elissa "nature and chlorine, my kind of park!" Alvey

Dude! Wow! This is huge news! I'm pretty excited...and an opening date of 2007 is pretty soon, I'd expect to see some major construction starting pretty soon! It sounds a lot like the attractions they have at Atlantis on Paradise Island. Where they have acrylic tubes that go through the aquariums. Elissa "I'm there!" Alvey

Theme Park Review's "Dinner & A Movie..And Six Flags Too!" Hey all! As the Summer Season coasts to a close it's time for another TPR Meet! This time around we have some exciting news about the meet! We will be previewing our new Europe DVD! So if you want to be the first one to see our latest DVD before anyone else, this is your chance! Here are the details! Date: Saturday, September 17th Meeting Times: - 9:30am at the gates of Magic Mountain - 2pm in front of Goliath - 6pm at Robb & Elissa's for Pizza, Wings, Drinks, Games, Prizes, and a preview of the European DVD!

Final RSVP’s need to be received by Wednesday, September 14th! Maps and directions will be provided once you have RSVP’d. RSVP's should include your name, names of others who will be attending with you, which meets you'll be at, and a valid email address. Anyone who came to the last one will tell you what a good time we all had (just check out the pix http://www.themeparkreview.com/sfmm2005/sfmm1.htm) we hope to have even more fun this time around! FAQ 1) What will this cost me? - NOTHING for the Dinner & A Movie Fun at Robb & Elissa’s! If you have a Six Flags Magic Mountain pass you’re good there, if you need a ticket to Hurricane Harbor we have some coupons that we can send you. (Note: you may want money for lockers, souvenirs, lunch, etc.) 2) What do I need to bring? – If you’re going to Hurricane Harbor make sure to wear a bathing suit, bring a change of clothes, towel…you know what you need! Oh! A sense of humor is a MUST!!! 3) What will we do at Robb & Elissa’s? – We’ll be cooking food, we’ll have Video Games hooked up, we’ll play games to win prizes, we have a pool, and we’ll be showing the 2005 European DVD in the Theater! 4) Why do I need to RSVP? – We need to buy enough food, drinks, and supplies for everyone! As well as set up seating, activities and prizes. Once you have RSVP’d you will be provided with directions to Robb & Elissa’s and even more information! 5) What if the weather is bad? – This is RAIN OR SHINE! If the weather prohibits visiting Hurricane Harbor we will meet at Magic Mountain at 9:30am. We will send out a notice if this is the case (again another reason to RSVP!) 6) Can I post about this to other boards? – Yes, absolutely! The more the merrier! 7) Are there any age restrictions? – Obviously not to Six Flags! To come to our party you must be 14 or older, or be accompanied by an adult. 8) Can I bring my own food or alcohol? – Because this is being held in a special room, there are restrictions on food and drink. All food and drink will be provided by Robb & Elissa. 9) Is there anything else I need to know? – Be prepared to have a great time! But be aware that any rude or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. You will be asked to leave immediately. 10) I still have more questions, how can I ask them? – If you have any questions or comments please post them to this thread or email them to robbalvey@themeparkreview.com **Disclaimer** This is not a park sponsored event; there is no ERT, no benefits of any kind at Six Flags. This is a party being thrown by Robb & Elissa out of the goodness of our hearts! We have the right to cancel this at any time and if you’re coming from out of town please take that into consideration as we cannot be held liable for any costs incurred. We reserve the right to limit the number of Dinner & A Movie attendees if necessary. We also reserve the right to refuse admission to the party to any individual if necessary. Elissa "get ready for another fun day!" Alvey

Wow, first a hot teen chick, and now a shirtless dude...what is this thread becoming!!??! Elissa "slightly concerned!" Alvey

I want to go to WaterWorld so bad!!! Elissa "screamin mimi!" Alvey

^Wow, you're cute...better stay away from Robb! He likes the younger women! Elissa "all you other enthusiasts stay away too!" Alvey

Hey! Robb's the one that crashed tubs with Walt on the flyers!! I still think Derek and I have the advantage of being light...those things soar high when we're controlling them! Elissa "ready for painful dose of 'flyerback'" Alvey

I can't wait to slow motion you getting drenched on the boat ride for this years video. I am busting out laughing in my office right now as I think about it!!!! Now get back to writing the rest of your TR's! Elissa "never trust a European about a water ride!" Alvey

^^ Buy it on ebay...it's nearly impossible to find. ^ We also used it for Asterix since the Can Can is kind of a French thing. Elissa "escaped gouderix this time around!" Alvey

I still wish they would bring back Pitch Black...I know they won't, but that was one of the best (and lowest budget!) mazes I've ever seen! Elissa "the one at Movie Park Italy was awesome too!" Alvey

Realistically with the language thing...I would choose Australia. I just really fell in love with that country in my few visits down there. Everyone was so friendly, it's a beautiful HUGE country with vastly different landscapes, and they have cool animals! Total dream, if language and cultural barriers didn't exist: JAPAN!!!!! Although Denmark was pretty cool also...I would go work for Farup Sommerland! Elissa "then I would do the monkey bars of death!" Alvey

^AHHHH MY EYES HURT!!! Elissa "sooo many icons..." Alvey

Ok now, both of you! You both don't like each other...that's fine...let it go! Elissa "what kind of boring world would it be if we all loved one another!" Alvey

Yes... I believe it is $15 for 4 coupons. You need one coupon per person, per ride. Meaning if you are by yourself, you pay $15 and can go skip the lines on 4 rides. If you are a family of four you pay $15 and can go skip the line on 1 ride. You can buy as many of the books of 4 coupons as you'd like. For example if you're by yourself you can pay $30 and go skip the line on 8 rides. The rides that it is usually good on: - Goliath - Riddler - Colossus - Revolution - Roaring Rapids - Tidal Wave - one or two others that I can't remember. They will NEVER be on X or Deja Vu. Elissa "hope this helps" Alvey

Ahh, so now we know what Gregg does for a living!!! He's a Pimp!!! Elissa "at least he's keeping detailed records!" Alvey

I just wish the police had better aim...I understand that they really didn't have a choice...no sane person would shoot at the guy holding a toddler unless they weren't in imminent danger...or the man was holding the gun to the toddlers head. This is really sad...but the police are not at fault! Elissa "stories like this give me very little hope for humanity" Alvey
