Please tell me you bought the tire hat!

^The latter.

Your meal at Flo's looks really good--as does all of Cars Land.

Because I am e-e-e-e-e-vil-l-l-l-l! Bwa ha ha ha ha!

^^I have managed to spend an entire day at Animal Kingdom and enjoyed it. You can easily spend a day there it you hit a show or two and do all the animal exhibits (such as the safari and the trails). That being said, I think it could use a little something more. Now back to our topic already in progress--How about that Toy Story Mania? I think they did a great job making it a part of DisneySea.

^Well, if you ride the Jungle Cruise after dark . . . I've come across references to "outdoor dark rides," which I guess is a term people use for lack of a better one to describe attractions like the Jungle Cruise or those odd towboat rides you find in some parks (for example, Excalibur at Drayton Manor, which has both indoor and outdoor sections).

That's the scuttlebutt in the Efteling thread, but I don't think it's been confirmed.

Volcano has far fewer problems now than it did when they first opened it--and it is unique.

^I was at the park with some friends yeasterday, and while it was a bit of a bummer that Verbolten was down, we still enjoyed ourselves--along with a nice big lunch at the Festhaus.

Good to see that you were able to ride Jetline that evening--it's an excellent coaster. Did you check out the new version of their dark ride, as well?

^I'd like to see this, too. Liseberg and Grona Lund have done very well with theirs--why not Universal? It should be noted that the haunts at the two Swedish parks are up charges, though, which probably helps with capacity concerns.

Yes it was. That does look crazy. Definitely a drop tower worth checking out.

^^Nice touch having the Joker hanging out at Joker's Jinx. I've been on that ride when Batman has been prowling the station, too.

^I've ridden it a lot this season, too--the Passsholder ERT sessions have been nice.

Euro-Mir--the ride with the music that will be running through your head for days afterward.

^Do they defend you from renegade Smurfs who are angry that their mountain was taken away?

But who will speak for the tacos now? I never tried the traveling tacos at Indiana Beach, but I did like the elephant ears.

I heard that Volcano had a rollback today. I was with a friend at Busch Gardens, who received a text from a another friend of his saying that he'd been in a rollback and that it was pretty weird going backwards at about five miles per hour on Volcano.

Come to think of it, I believe I was the only person on the train when I did the onride POV of Verbolten during media day.

^I was always bracing myself when Team TPR rode Hurler during Coasting for Kids. But we were all pleasantly surprised that the ride was better than it had been in previous years--not great, but more bearable.

Anaconda's "transition" (if that is the correct term) after the midcourse brake run is proof that Arrow's Ron Toomer hated mankind in general. It gives new definition to "clunky."

Expedition GeForce is an amazing ride--definitely makes Holiday Park worth visiting (along with Burg Falkenstein, a very twisted dark ride).

Your joking right? I think that's a safe bet--that he's joking. I rode Two Face and thought it was an OK ride (the Invertigos are better than the standard Boomerangs). But SFA seemed to have nothing but trouble with theirs.

I think that Hell Cat at Timberfalls is easily the best ride in the Dells, but there are those who like Hades a lot (I'm not among them).

Yep--pretty much. I liked Giant Drop, but I still prefer Blue Fall (Sea Paradise), Apocalypse (Drayton Manor), and Acrophobia (Six Flags Over Georgia).
