SharkTums

I usually leave the clips on my computer until I have REALLY finished the segment. Meaning I've watched it on a tv, made an mpeg, made a dvd from it, and put a back up copy on a dv tape. (Yeah, I'm a bit anal!) I always keep my batch files...forever! Just in case anything ever happened I could at least recapture quite easily and they take up almost no room. Elissa "hope this answered your question!" Alvey

Well, you both seem to have a chance since you suck at English! (Most engineers have no concept of the English language!) I remember this awesome course at school called something like "English for Engineers"! Elissa "it can happen if you want it to!" Alvey

We flew direct on Korean Air (partners with Delta) for about $750 each round trip. We could have probably saved another $50 had we flown some slightly scarier airline with a stop over. I watched the flights for our 9/18 flight since April! We booked something in late June...all I can say is you have to look everyday as the fluctuate by about $200 in both directions! Elissa "Europe airfare was even worse!" Alvey

This happened awhile ago. The owner is now facing murder charges. Here's some info: http://www.wate.com/Global/story.asp?S=3255901 Elissa "can we say 'negligence!'" Alvey EDIT! Here's the actual ride: http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/hawk24.html

No way...do a harder one! Elissa "RatTums could guess that one!" Alvey

Seaside Heights...now let's get the hell out of NJ!!! Elissa "america's armpit!" Alvey

No, he did not do Finest Hour. Elissa "everyone's entitled to their own opinions!" Alvey

http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=187&highlight=robb+job This has been the subject of many "Ask Alvey" questions! We both work full time jobs...and we budget very carefully. We by no means have tons of cash! Elissa "Robb's even at work right now!" Alvey

We've actually been in contact with all of the parks on our upcoming trip and have arranged filming privileges! Thanks for thinking of us though! Elissa "Europe parks are cool!" Alvey

http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1636&highlight=holiday Already been posted. Thanks though!

^Great! Now because of you two they're going to have to put those signs on the bathroom about no filming!!! Elissa "I think you can get banned for stuff like that! " Alvey

See this is what I'm concerned with! I actually know more Japanese than all of these European Languages we're going to need. There will be a lot of pointing to pieces of paper...but no loud talking! We're going to try and show everyone that not all Americans suck! Elissa "Liseberg wa doku desu ka...oh wait, that's japanese!" Alvey

Actually, I think Brian's right! :shock: I too remember in Vekoma's original PR and a lot of stuff for Stealth/X-Flight/Batwing counting 8 inversions! They did in fact count every 'flip over'. This isn't that surprising though if you remember that they also claimed SLC's had something like 7 inversions! Ahh found it! Elissa "stupid vekoma!" Alvey

^How long would it take you to do your hair like that??? Elissa "way too lazy to even blow dry my hair!" Alvey

^I love your avatar! I can't wait to get out to Finland and ride Tornado one of these days! Elissa "I went to school with a guy from Finland!" Alvey

I used to really like the Utah Jazz with my "white men can be cool" John Stockton! I also like whatever football team Jon Gruden is coaching! :love: Seriously though, I really only follow Pro Football. I used to be really into it, now not as much (robb isn't really a sports guy). Elissa "and the arena football team that jon gruden's brother is on!" Alvey

I've actually heard that he's losing more and more popularity. I know that most Six Flags parks won't really work with him anymore since he is so 'demanding' and had gone into restricted areas. I think it's more one of those things that he's been around for awhile so everyone knows his name. He also goes out of his way to try and get invited to all the events and crap to get his name out. Elissa "I think his magazine is mostly sent to media and parks...not the public" Alvey

The ride you got on Supreme Scream happens about once a day it seems. Basically the ride broke (didn't get the air pressure quite right) so you get to the top and just 'drop'. You don't get shot down like normal. You also don't get any of the normal bounces after the first drop. They should have let you ride again! Elissa "glad you had a good time!" Alvey

Very cool! I'm always interested in learning about all these crazy trade shows and conventions that happen around the world! Elissa "I'd love to go to that pizza one!" Alvey

I used to read it at Six Flags. Nothing special at all. Elissa "the ECC First Drop Magazine is better!" Alvey

Ok, well I'll be booking my tickets for my dells trip this week! I'm glad though that we decided to go at the end of the summer to give this ride some time to 'break in'. Interesting to read that the first part was 'kind of rough'. I'm hoping that some of the GG guys stay around tweaking and fixing some patches these first few weeks. Elissa "August should be fun!" Alvey

::said in annoying whining voice:: "It's my number one mouse climb and a truly unique walking experience." Elissa "I'm surprised he didn't ride a mouse car to the top of the lift...he doesn't seem like the stairs type of person!" Alvey

Wow, that sounds like a pretty awesome day for Humanity! Elissa "the world would be a better place if most people were gone!" Alvey

Wow, there must have been other stuff going on yesterday in the news since I didn't hear about this and usually this kind of crap makes national headlines! I think it kind of concerns me that only 2 rides were affected by the power outage...does that mean that all other rides were stacked??? Oh wait...this is Astroworld we're talking about! Elissa "it would suck to get stuck on Ultra Twister!" Alvey

Don't know exact pricing...can't find it on their website...try giving them a call. Approx: Regular Qbot - $10fee + $10 a person Gold Qbot - $20 fee + $20 a person Elissa "I agree, well worth it" Alvey
