Boooo!!! Powered Coasters!!!! Elissa "Just kidding!" Alvey

That's a great piece! I encourage everyone to go out and bid on it! Elissa "I think I see my ear impression on it!" Alvey

OMG!!! I wonder if this could close the park, seeing as the Japanese really do not tolerate stuff like this well. Wow...that's sad, but how could they let him ride without the restraint!?? This is almost sounding similar to the PGA Drop Zone accident, where maybe the man freaked out a bit and fell. The ride is not that tall, and for the man to die, he must not have had much control over his body. Elissa "wow, that sucks" Alvey

^Wait, wait wait...that was fast wasn't it!??! Elissa "sorry" Alvey

So they confirmed that there is a new pope...after the Vatican sent out a press release saying that the smoke was actually black and they would be back on Wednesday...I'm seriously wondering if they just put in the wrong color smoke, so quickly had to come up with a pope! Elissa "poor oklahoma city getting no love now today" Alvey

^I couldn't believe how they wedged that thing in! Elissa "I forgot about that ride!" Alvey

DisneySeas has an Indy ride. The ride layout is identical to the one at Disneyland, but several effects of the ride are different...for example, the Smoke Ring. http://www.themeparkreview.com/japan2004/tds3.htm They also have Raging Spirits (which is a near clone of the Indy ride, a roller coaster), from DLP. It is also very themed, and looks a lot like their Indy building. Elissa "need to go back to Japan!!!" Alvey

I remember just a few years ago I would fill up at a station at the Wild Adventures Exit off I-75 for $0.89/gal! Geogia always had cheap gas...sigh Elissa "Hey Europeans...how much should we expect to pay this summer?" Alvey

Shakira loves to ride herself! Yeah Baby!

Welcome to the boards! It's always nice to see people from Asia finding our site! We look forward to visiting many more countries in Southeast Asia starting with Hong Kong this Winter. As for Thunder Dolphin...it seemed to be a difference in ride ops. The female ride operators were very strict and would touch you and look at your hands to make sure you had nothing with you, the male ride ops didn't seem to care! We lucked out on our 2nd ride and they just made a motion to hold onto the camera. Elissa "or maybe they just felt sorry for us stupid americans!" Alvey

Um...here's me... I have my cell phone because BGT is really cool about loose articles. I decided to bring a cat onboard to throw it off from the top for being mean to rodents. And the Rose is just for sh!ts and giggles. Elissa "Ooo, hold on, I have a better idea!" Alvey Wow, this is bad.

^I think a vast majority of us have stayed there! It's like the motel 6 of the casino world. I actually don't think it's as bad as a lot of people make it out to be, but it's definitely a different 'class' of people. Lots of truckers and passer throughs. I actually love their food court, arcade, and rides. Try to get a non-smoking room, it's REALLY smoky! Elissa "and their suites are nice!" Alvey

^Simpsons right?? Elissa "trying to remember the episode!" Alvey

Yeah...not working here either...what type of file is that? Elissa "maybe it's just a crappy six flags thing!" Alvey

Oh dear... I made one, waiting for it to be emailed to me then I'll post it...forgot to take a screenshot as I was going...wow, I just don't quite get it! Elissa "I guess at least this means they're opening it soon!" Alvey

^So you're judging an amusement park that is brand new versus water parks during the Winter Season...I don't know if that's a really fair comparison. As for CG beating AK, that's just silly. Elissa "I remember hearing that Wild Adventures broke it's attendance record with aDestiny's Child concert and that was only like a 45K day" Alvey

It's a hard call...both parks will be PACKED...I'd suggest doing IOA on the Saturday because it can probably handle the crowds better than BGT with a brand new coaster. Elissa "Yeah, avoid BGT on any Saturday" Alvey

I love the 2nd one!!!! Elissa "it had rodents and made fun of California!" Alvey

lol, those are pretty good Elissa "girls ARE evil!" Alvey

Your parents will have to pay a buttload of money, your brother will do community service and undergo counseling, that's probably the major extent of it. Elissa "stupid kids" Alvey

I think there are red lights in there... ala going to hell on hades Elissa "silly lights" Alvey

Oooo, I'll have to tell Brian about this one since he loved the Berry one so much in our 2004 Video! Elissa "it was nasty!" Alvey

^Who can forget eating in the Festhaus to the "gonna by me a mercury" song! Elissa "sad to say, but I see BGT going way down hill" Alvey

^^ Boooo!!! You have to stay on the strip!!! Elissa "the south end of it too!" Alvey

I'd be pretty happy if they replaced the Indiana Stunt show with a Raging Spirits/Indiana Jones Coaster. It's a fun ride! BTW, I've heard this rumor too...so when do we place our bets! Elissa "not into most shows" Alvey
