I got in line last night at home, it kept my place in line overnight on my home computer. I came to work hoping that it tied your place in line to your logon, nope. They must have some sort of MAC or IP qualifier in their, smart ones those RAD people. Oh well. Edit: I stand corrected. I just couldn't get back in line perhaps due to the volume of other people trying to get in line. My space in line is nice and safe, so it is tied to your logon. Sweet.

But I gave you a kiddie coaster too! I looked for more cart action shots, didn't have any that were good of the two towers, and honestly, those are hard to photograph, very compact and tons of crap in the way. -
Not sure when you are going but I just got back. In the winter, the shows at SDC are the big draw. If you want to see the Dickens Christmas show get to the Opreahouse early or purchase a butt in line show pass for around $10. Beware, the older crowd will run you over. Food wise, the skillets are amazing, but they offer three buffet choices when you enter the park to your right (once you go thru the gift shop with the cavern tour) Each a different price point, each very good. Also there is a bakery about center of the park that will let you have a taste of cinnamon bread. The kiddie coaster shuts down at 42 degrees, Wildfire and Powder Keg shut down at 39.9 degrees, so ride them early if the forecast is for a cold evening. The only other notable ride that shuts down is the Giant Swing and thats at 38 I believe. Oh, and check out Grandpa's Mansion, trust me, it's cheesy fun. In town they have the Titanic exhibit, several drive thru (pay to drive thru) light displays, a butterfly human nature museum thingy, three outlet shopping centers, and shows galore. Some shows go dark mid-December. There will also be a handful of FEC's open and if the temps are right the go-carts will be running, but not all FEC's will be operating.

In 2014 a two-park one day ticket will run your about $150, I kid, but it could happen. They might as well rename Universal to Harry Potter World, but hey, whatever packs the crowds in right? I just have to wonder with no more books being pumped out how long they can ride the Harry wave. Time will tell.

This whole thing reminds me of a certain situation that occured last year in Ohio, but at least this group has a professionally built website. Quick, some call the Prince, he's good at raising money -

Because I can, I'm sharing my experience at OldTown and Funspot. I know that a lot of people make fun of Old Town, after all it is a little ghetto, but its not that bad of a park for tourist. Personally I prefer FunSpot over OldTown for the overal experience and bang for your buck. With an unlimted ride wristband at FunSpot you get go-carts, Screamin' Swing, and a spin and spew coaster. Both parks were dead when I visted on 10/13/11. FunSpot by far had the better staff who were very friendly and bored. The ride ops were on rotation but were quick to show up whenever you entered a queue line. Food and beer prices were decent and a Burger Kind and Checkers sit out in the parking lot if you so desire. Much like most tourist traps, admission is a bit pricey to either parks compared to Six Flags of Cedar Fair but I see it as a nice mid vacation break for famlies. Well, here we are at stop 1. 75 shops eh? Ok, sure. I prefer not to drink squirt. Park map for you park map enthusiasts. Pricing for the pricing enthusiasts And here we are in the park armed with tickets for two coasters. Lets get the good one outta the way first. Up up and away Just in case you didn' trust me. weeeeeeee See all those happy faces? It's really not that bad of a ride. But then again, I like these types of coasters. It has some decent speed and lats. Anyway. Moving on to coaster #2 Yuuuuuuuuuup! I was sure to keep appropriate seperation between myself and kid that was riding up front. Lets go check out the mall with 75 stores. Found one! Most were closed.... Pass. Well, I've seen enough. Time to drive next door to FunSpot. That's what she said! Score! Fun tilt, packed full of spin! You have your choice of flyers, one slightly taller than the other. Nice setting IMO. It's the Poweraide coaster! Climbing up for a spin! Cruising along And this is about the point where you spin and spin and spin and spin and spin and.... Love.Screamin'.Swings. Basically there were 7 who wanted to ride, one arm operation, we basically rotated out for 30 minutes, could ride these all day. Yes. I'm strange. Bobs flying. Time for a little swing before I go. Goodnight FunSpot, thanks for the Fun! -

I'd invest just for the 4D Barnyard Frolic Show.
