^Agreed Elissa "I'm jealous!" Alvey

Good Question! We talk about this a lot...There are a few Asian countries that we will hit in the next 5-10years...Australia is a definite. Other than that though there are not too many other places that we see ourselves going to in the next 10 years with the current global conditions: Middle East, Russia, Africa, Mexico, other Central American countries, etc. Hopefully things will get better and we can hit more countries! Elissa "oh, and I refuse to get shots so I don't think we can ever go to Africa!" Alvey

As for traveling/carnival coasters we try and look at serial numbers or who owns them to make sure to only count them once. Elissa "for instance we found out the mouse in miami we rode is the same one from Del Mar...minus one credit " Alvey

Oh yeah, I agree! We would spend a couple of weeks at least, not just doing coasters. The last few times I've gone to Austrailia I've spent at least 4 weeks! I really liked heading over to the west coast as it seems a little less touristy. Elissa "it's all about climbing that 200 foot tree!" Alvey

Plus I have a bigger penis than Robb! Elissa "wears the pants...even when I'm not wearing any" Alvey

We liked the park a lot! Wish we had a bit more time...those bobsleds were insane! http://www.themeparkreview.com/buffalo03/sb/sb1.htm Elissa "did they get rid of that looping coaster?" Alvey

Welcome to the forum! Your english is great! This looks really interesting, can I vote even though I haven't been to too many European parks? Hopefully we'll meet up when we're in Belgium this June! Elissa "Expedition Ge Force is the best steel coaster in Europe, North America, and Japan!" Alvey

Thanks everyone! This is all really helpful! As for Gardaland, we will be hitting it at night...Mirabilandia closes at 6 so we plan to go to Gardaland from 9pm till close one night, then go the next morning as well! I'm definitely going to look into that Ferry from Liseberg area to the Bakken Area. Also, closer to the date when we have everything finalized we will post our itinerary because we really want to meet and hang out with all of you European Coaster Enthusiasts! You'll be in our video next year! Thanks again...keep the information (and we'll keep the questions!) coming! Elissa "hey, I'm the responsible navigator!" Alvey

http://www.canevaworld.it/eng/ap/aphome.htm It's at some psycho park in Italy! Elissa "can't wait!" Alvey

Yeah, and Medusa in Mexico is a wooden coaster! Elissa "the names never make sense!!! Kingda Ka anyone???" Alvey

One of Robb's co-workers told him about the game so he picked it up...we fell in love with the game and bought the soundtrack!!! Elissa "can't wait for the sequel!" Alvey

LOL, well, we can't all be as psycho as Robb!!! Elissa "RatTums is getting old too :crying: " Alvey

Shari, your daughter looks a lot like Dakota Fanning! Elissa "and that's a compliment!" Alvey

Did you really JUST get that?? It looks great! It's not even red or inflamed or anything! Looks nice...I'm not a tattoo person but I can appreciate them! Elissa "the most risque thing I have is a belly ring!" Alvey

Nearly all powered coasters have some sort of "extra rail" in the middle... The Mack Powered Mine Trains are actually really cool! I don't think we have any in the US...they are ALL OVER Europe, and there's one at Canada's Wonderland. Elissa "too bad they're not a credit :crying: " Alvey

Florida is NOT the deep south!! The deep south is like the scary area of the south...georgia, carolinas, mississippi, alabama, tennessee...etc. Elissa "Florida is its own area!" Alvey

Dude!!! How can you forget??? Of course we're hitting a waterpark this year!!!

I like to be overprepared...you should have seen my Japan Binder! Elissa "almost time to put the Europe Binder together!" Alvey

Most normal public schools aren't out for Spring Break that week so it shouldn't be too bad...maybe some colleges...but most this year are out Easter Week. Elissa "if it's bad, make sure to get the Express Passes that they sell!" Alvey

Do you remember Grizzly at PGA? They're both equally as bad. Psyclone is a bit more painful, but at least has a layout and almost airtime...Grizzly is just there...no pain, no ride.. Elissa "You'll have fun!" Alvey

You might hit that park and everything is running 2 trains, everything is open, light crowds, and have an AMAZING time... A lot more often though you'll head over, several rides will be closed, the others will be running at one train, and it could be packed... Hopefully they'll get better this summer and have some good operations, then you'll have a great time! Elissa "it's still better than Knotts!" Alvey

Yeah, that sounds about right...I just hope that you catch SFMM on a 'good' day! Elissa "let us know if you have more questions!" Alvey

^I should have been more specific...you look like one of our very good looking non-coaster friends! :love: Is that better? Elissa "can't wait to ride Limit with you!" Alvey

^Dude!!! You look EXACTLY like one of our 'non-coaster' friends!!! Creepy!!! Elissa "extra points for seeing TPR in your picture!" Alvey

^Did you ever see the episode of the Simpsons where Homer gets it done at the mall and his eyes crust over?? :laughing: Elissa "I could totally see that happening to Dave!" Alvey
