SharkTums replied to Shadowforce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Uh Oh! Isn't everything always 'bigger' in Texas...if they put in a slightly larger Kingda Ka/Dragster I'm going to shoot myself! Elissa "please put in something more like Storm Runner/Kanonen!" Alvey -
Nice TR Lori! I'm also in the minority that I don't really love BGW as much as everyone else does but it's still a good hassle free park which is becoming a rarity these days! Brian & Alicia, I'm glad my 'West Coast Time Zone' could benefit you! Nice to know I'm good for something! I still haven't ridden Alpengeist since that bird tried to kill Derek & I while filming a Discovery Channel show!!! Elissa "the birds are out to get humans at that park!" Alvey

I'm downloading them now and will give them to Robb...these won't be high quality enough for the contest, but I'm sure we'll enjoy watching! Elissa "hopes you find a way to get them to us!" Alvey

Why aren't there more dark rides?

I always kind of wanted Epcot's Soarin to be 'Soarin over America' and have landmarks from all over the country. Elissa "and Florida does have enough for a movie!!!" Alvey -

Yeah, SDC is one of those parks you don't mind driving a day to get to! Same with Dollywood, if you ever get stuck in one of those legendary Pigeon Forge Traffic Jams it doesn't matter, cause you're at Dollywood! Elissa "can't wait!" Alvey -

Taken from: http://themeparks.universalstudios.com/orlando/website/phi_directions.html If $9 is still too much one of you could always get a real season pass which includes free parking for $180. Do the math, figure out which option makes sense. Elissa "Sometimes, adults lie and don't know what they're talking about, cough youth group leader cough" Alvey -

Um, I'm pretty sure that parking is somewhere between $7 & $10 depending on if it's a car or a van. You can go in and out that day as many times as you'd like. Where are you staying? If you're staying close you could always just walk or take a shuttle. Elissa "there are very few places that charge $20 for parking...and that's preferred or valet!" Alvey -
New Jersey Shore Parks...help
SharkTums replied to Jeezus Juice's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
New Jersey Water - NO! They call it America's Arm Pit for a reason! If you have some time they actually all do go together pretty well, but make sure to do it midweek or you can get stuck in some GNARLY traffic! Start at SFGAd, then head out towards the ocean on the 195. Point Pleasant ---> Seaside --->Atlantic City ---> Ocean City ---> Wildwood ---> Clementon Of course you could also reverse this quite easily. Elissa "BTW, good call giving KK an extra day!" Alvey -

SharkTums replied to Jeezus Juice's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wildwood, NJ is a great place to go! They have at least 3 'pier's' with coasters on them and an awesome boardwalk...including LIVE TARGET PAINTBALL!!! All of the amusement piers are owned by Morey's and you can get an all day wristband. If you'd really like to credit whore it up you can go to Atlantic City, Ocean City, Seaside Heights, and Point Pleasant, all of which each have a few credits. I had more fun than I thought I would on my first trip to the 'jersey shore'. I wish I had had more time, oh well, there's always next time! Elissa "Go to Clementon if they're still open, who know's how long that coaster will last" Alvey -

Got it! It does make some interesting noises on some of the turns! It really does look fun though! I hope it's not too brutal! Elissa "the loop looks so fast!" Alvey -

^What problem are you having Rock, I just downloaded it and it worked fine for me. You can also try grabbing it from our Video Downloads page to see if that works better for you. Elissa "silly videos" Alvey -
Just cost me $29.02 to fill my tank...of a COROLLA!!!! Elissa "at least it gets good gas mileage" Alvey

^ I think it changes on a daily basis! Seriously though, Robb and I have both noticed that Fire seems to run better when it's hot and Ice runs better when it's cold! I'm not even kidding here, just something we've noticed after riding them the last 5 years! God, they're 5 years old!!! That makes me feel old! Elissa "I got burned on Fire Dragon!" Alvey -
^Yeah, trust me we've seen it! What a lot of people don't realize is how much the exchange rate really changes things, even things you would think are constant. Airfare was a big one. Most of the airfare is priced out in Euro's meaning that our airfare was about $200 more than we expected it to be because of the poor exchange rate. Gas which is already expensive is even more expensive because of the rate, and so much more! Heck, at least we're not going to the UK where it's even worse! All of you Europeans should come to the US NOW where it's dirt cheap! Elissa "$1.00 sodas and $35 hotel rooms" Alvey
