ANJLOVER14

Visiting the park today (kind of busy, normally I try to avoid busy Summer days) and I noticed in line for X2 that they had one of the old Superman cars underneath the tracks. It was funny seeing, I thought they reused the chassis from it or something. I guess not

B&M: Vortex @ CGA; I ended up riding it twice the day I visited. The first was passable, but the second (more towards the front) was one of the worst rides I've ever had. Intamin: Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril @ Disneyland Paris; The ride is so surprisingly rough and unenjoyable. Rode it once, and that was plenty. GCI: Wildcat @ HP; I've ridden this ride with both the original PTC trains and millennium flyers and it makes no difference: rough and uninteresting with both trains.

The thing I find funniest about this quote is how uninformed this line makes him seem. Just looking at pictures from near the ride's opening: rcdb-Ninja the ride, while admittedly not completely barren, was originally built with plenty of clear space. While he probably is just trying to argue his side of the case and how the ride is today, it's stupid to say the ride was designed improperly "through trees" when it really wasn't.

Thought I might as well put my listing up. My wood credit list needs improving. But hey, that's what the poll's about, getting everyone's opinion, right?

^ Forgot to mention that one as well. going 40 MPH on those unbanked turns would hurt quite a bit!

^ Having just ridden West Coaster just a few weeks back, and watching a brief POV of GTA's version on Youtube, it looks fairly accurate (aside from an extra helix at the end of the ride and no lift chain). As for the 2nd part of your question, doubt it.

My avatar is not a fan. Even though their recent portfolio consisted of solely Star Wars games, I am going to miss them. Grim Fandango is one of my favorites.

^ Because SF Magic Mt. and SF Great Adv. aren't as good when compared to those in the top 10. Disneyland, Dollywood, etc. are all superior parks due to their devotion to others areas of a theme park experience rather than just coasters (food, theming, etc.).

Haven't been to the Asian parks, but of all of the others, my list would be: 1) Disneyland: The original, and my favorite. Been to it most, so I may be a little biased, but I always have a great time there. 2) EPCOT: Fun lands to explore and a huge open layout. Lacking a bit on rides, but there are plenty of other attractions and exhibits to keep you busy.(Plus fantastic food!) 3) Disneyland Paris: I really enjoyed this place. It's been a while, and I forget some of the details, but the landscaping was great and I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot. Was too little to notice any details like efficiency, employee attitude, etc. 4) Disney's Hollywood Studios, FL: Was a really fun park with a lot of great attractions and shows, but still feels like it's missing one or two attractions. 5) Disney's California Adventure: Fun park that's still expanding (haven't seen Cars Land or Buena Vista Street yet). Although the new additions definitely add more to see, the theming still seems disconnected in areas. Still it's a park we always visit when we go to the resort. 6) Magic Kingdom: Still a fun park, but my only visit was a bit of a let down. Everything was much bigger than Disneyland, including the crowds. Certain areas didn't feel as complete to me, and Fantasyland was hot, the area looked kind of tacky, and was lacking in shade (It's good that it's being remodeled). However, the crowds and weather may have influenced my dislike, so I still have mixed feelings about it. 7) Animal Kingdom: Definitely one of the biggest disappointments for me at WDW. Expedition Everest was great, and a lot of the animal exhibits were neat to explore, but the Dino-land area wasn't up to the Disney standard most of the other parks follow. 8) Walt Disney Studios, FR: Worst Disney park, easily. Visited before ToT and the Toy Story areas were added, so the park in general was a huge letdown. Very little to do, and we had finished everything we had wanted to see in about 3 hours.

^^ I think that's an old Knott's stock photo for Supreme Scream. I have some maps from around 2000 that have the exact same one.

No. Do you like the new changes to Facebook? - i.e.: Rearrangement of home and profile buttons, the new "stalker" bar at the right, etc.

Well, if it's anything like Mouse Tales (Same author, but about Disneyland), this should give some nice info about stories and secrets. Just be prepared for some Eisner-Disney hate. Amazon LINK

Missed Roller Soaker and Sooperdooperlooper @ Hersheypark. I might have missed others at other parks, but those are the two I'm most bummed about, because I doubt I'll be going back to Hershey for a LONG time. I missed a couple others there, but just because I was too short to ride the others. EDIT: Forgot to mention that was 5 years ago, and I would go on anything there, now.

That really changed me. The hippos are taken out each day, and guests ride through without a clue of the murder and sinning they are witnessing!! $50 on its way!!

No Have you pulled an All-Nighter within the last year?

Same thing down south in Bakersfield. Only, the first lightning struck at 4:00 in the morning.

^ You obviously have been on all of these types of coasters and can tell from experience how boring they are.

This looks freaking AMAZING!!!! Also, props to Magic Mt. and their creative use of space! This is a great addition for the park! Can't wait for the official announcement tomorrow!

This looks awesome! It's been way too long since RCT3, and with the outstanding lineup of games to be released later this year, RCT 3D, and a price drop, It's definitely the time to buy a 3DS!

I'm not %100 sure, as I can't find the exact picture, but is it G'sengte Sau at Tripsdrill in Germany?

For me, it's been a meh year so far, (Aside from West Coast Bash, that is ) So Far: SFMM (3) Wild Waves (New park for me) Planning on visiting: Knott's Disneyland/CA Adventure (Don't know which)

I haven't been on many, but of the ones I have ridden, my list is: Apocalypse Lightning Racers Roar (West) Wildcat However, I would rank Lightning Racer FAR above Roar and Wildcat in my top coasters.

With Invertigo and Deja Vu, it hasn't been a good year for CA's boomerangs, so, I wonder if Knott's and Discovery Kingdom's are on the way out, too? One can only hope, right?
