Yeah...I could really see them taking out Monte to put in an impulse or something like all the other Cedar Fair parks have...You just have to hope they won't!! As for a hyper, they have plenty of room! Look at places like Blackpool or Morey's Pier! Look at the way they put Silver Bullet it...plenty of room for a hyper...I really hope it's not a Morgan though! Elissa "would almost forgive the park if they put in an Intamin Hyper...nah, still wouldn't!" Alvey

This is my baby: I love the airtime on it... This is a close second: Elissa "it's weird cause they're both such different rides!" Alvey

^Dude! I was totally going to post that!!! Can you imagine walking around that park at night, in the cold, turning a corner and seeing that bird head staring at you!! :? Elissa "I'm scared" Alvey

^Hey!! It will impact my life more!!! I won't be able to ride coasters for almost a YEAR!!! You better not plan any cool trips during that time! Elissa "with my luck Intamin will open up a factory next to my house!" Alvey

^Thanks for the advice... I was the one at Six Flags Belgium in 2002 that had to explain to the parents why all these crazy grown Americans needed to borrow their kids to ride the kiddie coaster! I also was sent up to the ride op to ask what time Turbine was going to open. It all worked out so I guess my French wasn't too rusty! Elissa "I miss Europe!!" Alvey

Do you know...isn't there supposed to be another one of these opening up at a Walibi Park? I was hoping we'd get on one, but we won't be making it to Bellewaerde. Elissa "It looks Scary!!!" Alvey

So is this just a regular top spin? Isn't PKI's one of the "giant" models? Elissa "confused" Alvey

I think that SFoG and SFoT are two of the nicer looking and themed parks, but as for overall ride selection I would go with SFGAd or SFGAm...followed closely be SFA. Elissa "SFMM doesn't really stand out in my eyes" Alvey

Yeah, he's a hottie! If there were hamster models, I'm sure he'd be one of them! Elissa "we gave him a hair cut to keep him looking sexy!" Alvey

How about putting some of these together and slapping it on top of the Stratosphere Tower...Boom! X-Scream! The truly worst name! Elissa "what about Dog Fart Coaster!!?!?" Alvey

I thought of another question... At most of the places we will have reservations, but on some of our drives (mainly the one from Walibi World - Farup) we were thinking of just trying to "wing it" meaning not have a reservation and just go as far as we can then stop for the night. Are there enough motels along the motorway to do this? Or is that risky? Should we just book all the motels ahead of time? As for going to Walibi World, we're going with 4 other people on this trip who have not EVER been to European Parks before and we'd like to take them there. Plus I really liked Goliath and Robin Hood so it won't be the worst place to revisit, we wil try and get out of their early though! Elissa "thanks! I can't wait to meet all of you...and try out my French in some places too!" Alvey

^Simple...DON'T TELL US!!!! Elissa "sitting here with RatTums right now!" Alvey

^Yes of course. There will be no restrictions as to when the footage was taken. If you remember we actually started up the contest in March of last year, and most people used footage from the previous year, it will be the same again this year, so dust off all those DV tapes and get to it! Elissa "Can't wait to watch more entries!" Alvey

It depends what time of the year you'll be traveling...if it's around a US holiday you'll need reservations (also with some areas near parks you'll need reservations). Other than that a lot ot times you can wing it! At most fast food places on the Interstates (motorways) you can pick up a discount motel guide and just call them up that day and book a place. Elissa "do you think we can wing it in Europe or do we need reservations?" Alvey

Eh, the water ride will be fun...but from what I discovered at Schlitterbahn...I like Waterslides that go down, a lot more than the ones that go up! The uphill stuff just didn't do it for me...seemed slow, boring, and pointless. Elissa "maybe these new generation ones will be better" Alvey

At least they're cloning a good ride!!! Not like the SLC wave of the 90's!! Elissa "waterpark enthusiast!" Alvey

I agree with Derek! This is a bad idea...how can you theme the ride to a character who's only been around one season and everyone is tired of already?!? Have you seen this years commercials yet? They're awful!! Elissa "Say it ain't so" Alvey

Wow, there were some very interesting articles, renderings and pictures on that site!!! Elissa "damn, I really want to find a way to go to Fort Fun!!!" Alvey

OUCH!!! Elissa "I don't know!" Alvey

WOW! I have to say I really wasn't all that impressed with this ride until I just saw these pictures! Now I'm pretty excited about getting to hit it come May! Elissa "I can't believe that thing has a 42'' height restriction!!!" Alvey

You boys and your Coaster Themed Deoderant!!! Elissa "degree" Alvey

Yeah I guess! I look back at some of my older videos and want to change things!!! Elissa "but I do like some of my early stuff too!" Alvey

HeHeHe I saw Kip's Nipple!!! Elissa "and I was strangely turned on... :love: " Alvey

Eh, your in-laws could be worse...TRUST ME! :fangs: Elissa "Robb loves his in-laws!" Alvey

Most of the time we just go to a park, take the footage, bring it home and think of a song that makes sense. I try and match up either lyrics or the feel of a song to the footage. Robb takes more of a plop everything down randomly and have fun...I'm much more orderly and like to arrange stuff. Elissa "does that make sense?" Alvey
