Hey, I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed!!!! Elissa "married him for his love of rodents" Alvey

We were allowed to have our cameras on most of the rides. Both of those Six Flags parks are really nice. Titan is 'okay'. I'm not a big fan of it and Goliath. They're pretty good about running the rides, and running them at good capacity. If it's really busy, get a Qbot! Elissa "it's a cool park!" Alvey

^Who said they'd be dorky coaster nerd shirts? Elissa "I would wear it...that should tell you something!" Alvey

There were a few reasons...I'll list some of the main ones and maybe Robb will add on if he has time! (Note to all of you out there...never go into the games business!!!) - Everyone always asked us to do it! - A place for us to rant (almost blog style without the annoying blog word) - People wanting us to host their photos and videos - Us having updates that weren't always 'update worthy', but that we'd still like to share in an easy way with everyone. Elissa "and because I don't have enough to do already!" Alvey

It's Robb! What other explanation do you need!??! Elissa "he's an idiot!" Alvey

Actually...since I don't think Robb will be able to make it I'll just have to edit your title a bit!!! Elissa "or maybe I'll just flake out on you!" Alvey

I'll let Robb handle this...but I know there will be a few things he'll ask you so he can give you a better answer, so let me get those out of the way: - Is it for shooting a day at the park, or mostly onride video? - How much would you like to spend? - Do you have any other camera parts or accesories? - Will you be editing the video? Making DVD's? - What kind of Computer do you have? Answer those questions and he'll be able to help you better! Elissa "almost time for me to start shooting video again!" Alvey

These rumors get funnier and funnier every time I see them! At one point I was told that I was arrested at Six Flags!!! Elissa "we're not banned!" Alvey

I guess this is my point... People pay for better service in everything! First Class Airline Seats vs. Coach Hyatt vs. Motel 6 Luxary Car vs. Geo Metro What is the difference in doing it at a theme park!?! We all choose how to spend our money, and what's most important. Robb and I fly coach, stay at the motel 6's, rent the geo metros, but then pay the extra money to skip the line. I don't see how that's different from every other 'caste' system already in place. Again, I respect everyone's opinion, just throwing out my own! Elissa "all about qbot!" Alvey

One of our members just posted a link to his Super High Quality pix of Islands of Adventure...there are 3 B&M;s there so maybe check out his pictures and ask if you can use one of them if you like one! http://www.real-coasters.com/images/gallery1/index.html Elissa "let us know if these work" Alvey

You're all special in my eyes... (in that you should all ride the short bus!) Elissa "was trying for member #666 but I was busy at work that day!" Alvey

It's just a matter of personal opinion. To me, it's worth $25 not to have to plan and study the map, get to hit all the rides, not queue with drunk people, and have an easy going time. BTW, we were there on a Thursday mid-October last year and it was insanely packed! Elissa "doesn't like waiting in lines!" Alvey

How is the ride running lately? I remember really liking it in 2001, but it was already running a little rough for me...I can only imagine what it's like now in a climate like that, with G trains, and a Wood/Steel CCI...plus Six Flags doesn't have the best maintenance record! Elissa "will get back there...at some point!" Alvey

Wow, crazy! Those bumper cars still look in better shape than the ones at SFMM! Elissa "creepy!" Alvey

Keep watching over the next 7 weeks! 5 down, 35 to go! Elissa "we got more entries in today!" Alvey

^Hmmm...maybe I'll pick up the new CD for our long drives in Europe! Elissa "dave would kill me!" Alvey

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... that ride better be as fricken good as it fricken looks!!! Elissa "OMG" Alvey

OMG! I forgot about Sesame Place!!! I'll never forget doing the Ernie's Rapids ride like 25 times in a row one day when I was like 6 years old!!! I remember I was too scared to try the 'bert' ride! Elissa "do they still have that long roller slide in the playground??" Alvey

^unless you're looking for a good spinal adjustment! Elissa "thank god I wasn't allowed in the back seat!" Alvey

Gosh...you know this is just so pathetic. Why should ride companies do anything interesting if we're just going to be stupid and sue like idiots over simple estops! Wow, maybe I should start sueing for random things going as planned to! First Wendy's lady, now this...ugh...not a good week for humanity. Elissa "grrrr" Alvey

Gotta love the castle jokes!!! Glad you had a good time! That's pretty awesome with the extra magic hour and no one there!!! Elissa "nice" Alvey

8/10 The 'Mr.' adds a bit of class to the 'Stratosphere'! Elissa "silly vegas" Alvey

Alvey

^Are you a member of ACE or the FLCC? I know that they have an amount of members they can bring to the media days! Elissa "then you don't need to camp out!" Alvey

I'm really excited for Memorial Day Weekend!!! I'm going to hit two of my favorite waterparks: Typhoon Lagoon and Wet N Wild. I'm even more excited because they both have new rides! Thinking about Adventure island, it really is time for them to get something new! I'm thinking it was Splash attack in like the mid to late 90's, Wahoo Run in 2000...they're kind of on the '5-year Plan' so maybe next year! Oh, and I'm going to Hurricane Harbor LA on Mothers Day with two of my co-workers kids! Elissa "loves the waterparks!" Alvey
