I would have to say Kraken is my favorite floorless coaster. Actually, it's the only floorless in my top 10. The zero-g roll is great and the first drop in the back is even better than nitro's IMO. 1.Kraken 2a.SheiKra 2b.Griffon 4.Medusa (east) 5.Dominator (sorry no zero-g roll, no top 3) 6.Batman-The Dark Knight

I would rather Blackstone wait and see what happens with the Busch parks before thinking about acquiring this mess.

I'm going to predict Miami to get blown out every game for now on. I couldn't be happier to be wrong on this one. GO PHINS!!!

I'm ready for the Dolphins to get blown out again today. ...0-3 baby!!!

Once again, thanks for the great update Johnny. It's nice to finally see supports going up. I'm heading to the park in December, so I'm sure most if not all the track will be up by then.

ROTM at USF 3 days ago. A total of 5 walk-ons, 2 in the morning and 3 in the early afternoon. If I really wanted to, I could have ridden The Mummy 50 times that day.

I noticed the drill today at USF. I'm not sure if they actually drilled, but they were moving it into position this morning when the park first opened. ...Sorry no pics though.

Thanks for the update, Erik. I'm heading over to Universal Studios on Wednesday to process my season pass. I guess I'll ride The Mummy, MIB, and The Simpsons while I'm there. ...have to love the September crowds.

Not to mention that all three movies budgets were under $200 million. ...$300 million for a movie is just ridiculous IMO. This movie better be a success or else Waterworld will have to step aside.

I would have to say... 1.Zero-g roll on Kumba and Kraken 2.Immelmanns on DD-Fire 3.Cobra roll on Kumba and DD-Ice 4.Batwing on Montu 5.Heartline roll/flying snake dive on Storm Runner

I'm actually hoping they don't release the layout of the coaster. I think it would be more interesting to try and guess as construction goes along. I'll be visiting the park in December, so hopefully some track will be up by then.

The longest span for me was from June of 1998 till June of 2003. ...Now you can't keep me away from parks.

Never!!! That's what makes it so scary.

I think that will go through everyone's mind when they see this thread.

Too bad, so sad. Anyway, darn Favre getting lucky on that second TD pass was the difference in the Dolphins/Jest game .

^That's a fantastic shot of the Hulk. Overall, all your photo TRs were great. I also like how you saved the best for last, IOA and USF. I also appreciate the love for Dueling Dragons, it's my #3 favorite steel coaster. I personally like the front on Ice and the back on Fire.

^True. Just give me millennium flyers on Gwazi and an Intamin Mega-lite and I would be thrilled.

While I'm not a fan of the Golden ticket awards, I do have to agree with the ones above.

Thanks spaceace12, I just completed my week one picks. Remember everyone who's playing that the first game is Thursday night, so don't miss the deadline.

I noticed picture #7 too. But after looking at it for a minute or two, it just looked too fake (bright) to be a duckie. Also, if it was a duckie then what's holding/keeping him in place?

Of course they did. They wanted to get their a$$es out of there.

That picture is classic. LOL.

^spaceace12, are we still doing this? If yes, what's the group ID#?

At this point, I'm really not concerned about Hanna. Living in Winter Haven, it will probably be about the same for us as it was with Fay. ...Steady to moderate rain and 30 mph winds. Now Ike is the one to keep an eye on.

Tropic Thunder B+ I finally got to see Tropic Thunder last week. While not as funny as I thought it would be, it still had its great moments. Overall, a very good movie and something I'll buy when it hits the stores. Next movie: Eagle Eye (Sept. 26th release)
