I can't or I would!!! Stupid West Coast Time!!! Elissa "I blame California" Alvey

The only thing I can guess they are talking about is the way I feel about GCI...they're pretty good rides...but they're not my style. Not really good airtime, all about laterals...some are good like Thunderhead and keep their speed but as a whole I really don't like them as much as other woodies. Elissa "just a guess" Alvey

Totally Messed Up Ultra Twister...

Dude, I can't wait to ride this!!! I'm pretty sure it will kill me, but it almost looks worth it! Elissa "those crazy Japanese!" Alvey -
^Yeah it almost seems like Carrie belongs more on that "Nashville Star" Country music american idol show. She needs to get out of the Country music twang if she's going to win. Elissa "who cares about idol, lost is on tonight!!!" Alvey

Administration, Finance & Fundraising at the Santa Clarita Special Olympics. Been here 6 months now and I love it! Elissa "all those accounting classes finally paid off!" Alvey

I wonder what happened to Cornball... I rode it like opening week and I thought it was great! It was new, and cold outside but it had such great airtime, you can even see it in our video of it. Then when we went back in 03 I was very dissapointed. It wasn't any rougher but it seemed to have lost some of its intensity...anyone else notice this? Elissa "and Hurricane was running better!" Alvey

Fastest Acceleration?
SharkTums replied to Three's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I forgot about that stupid ride at old town!! It is really insane too. I didn't think it was as painful at the Dodonpa Launch, but the brakes were awful. If you're the 'passenger' you have nothing to brace yourself on. I ended up with a huge bruise on my leg from the harness digging into me from the sudden stop. I've only done it that one time, I'd like to try and be the driver so I have something to hold on to for the braking section but no way am I going to pay like $30 or whatever insane price they want! Elissa "damn, I forgot how much that one hurt too!" Alvey -

^The trains didn't seem to track very well (kind of did the Leap the Dips Shuffle), but they were comfy as hell so I could overlook the shuffling! Elissa "nothing beats the Roller Coaster trains!" Alvey -

All of the Bids are starting at $456.00, there is only one person that has bid so far. Elissa "at least the money is going to a good charity and not like the ACE Museum!" Alvey -
Headed for Knott's On Friday

I'm sure you'll have a good time! Just hope for 2 train operation on everything! Elissa "might be at knotts soon " Alvey -
Calling Disney Cast members...
SharkTums replied to Real's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It will calm down...but from what I understand it's not going to be "dead" until October now at this point. http://www.touringplans.com/BestDays.htm Yeah, they say that you're mostly looking at 4 & 5 level days for awhile now! Elissa "cool site" Alvey -
I loved Silver Dollar City, and I've heard nothing but good things about Powder Keg and Ozark Wildcat (both new since I was there). SFStL didn't blow me away, but hey, they have Qbot and Freeze which is really all you need! Kennywood and Geauga Lake are nice, but, my choice would be for a SDC trip. Elissa "plus you can go see Yakov in Branson!" Alvey

Florida vs California
SharkTums replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
DBH (no pun intended) blows away Ghostrider. Better Airtime, just as out of control....and it's freakin SMOOTH! I agree with Robb...there's no contest in my mind, Florida wins over Cali easily. Elissa "I need to get out of this state fast!!!" Alvey -
Federov kind of reminds me of a "poor man's clay aiken". Elissa "I'm guessing that the bottom 3 could all be dudes!" Alvey

The Official Amazing Race Thread!
SharkTums replied to Meteornotes's topic in Random, Random, Random
No Way...it's all about Rob and Amber!!! Elissa "but you're right, at least the old people are amusing!" Alvey -
I really like House too! The only problem is that it's opposite Amazing Race so I only get to see it when Amazing Race is not on, or they replay House. In fact I got to see the guy that playse House when we went to the Tonight Show last week, I had no idea he was British! Elissa "I think I like him cause he's evil!" Alvey

Dear god, get rid of Scott!!! Having to listen to him sing a song from Man of La Mancha...my ears!!! Elissa "GET RID OF HIM" Alvey

I'm trying to keep low expectations... but...Cyclops is in my top 5 Wooden Coasters so I'm hoping that Hades will also deliver. Elissa "will we get to go around twice on Hades too?" Alvey

^Another good RnRC story... I was there for new years eve one time and they had handed out big hats, noisemakers, all kinds of stuff. I also had a shopping bag and my purse with me, but I had heard that they are really lax for whatever reason on that ride. (doesn't quite make sense to me!) Anyways, they let me on the ride with EVERYTHING, no warning or anything. This is fine for me, but I wonder about other people that still do'nt even know the ride goes upside down! Elissa "loves being able to take my stuff on the ride with me!" Alvey

SharkTums replied to Mr.Six's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I love your take on Mummy...all I can say is: GO RIDE FLORIDA's! The coaster rides are pretty similar but Florida's is actually themed and has real fire! Elissa "wishes USH had MiB!" Alvey -
USA park tour route
SharkTums replied to Freefall's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^Nice use of the Six Flags Map! Anyways, just seeing that prelim route, I'd tell you to skip SFDL, unless you're going up to see Niagra Falls. You'd be much better off hitting up some of the other parks that you'll be near on that route. Elissa "you can't even get the kiddie credit at SFDL!!!!" Alvey
