I love this site! If anyone is going on the UK trip next year, study this site!!!!
I think of all the british slag I picked up when I lived in the UK, this was always my favorite:
(the) dogs bollocks - a term used to denote something that is 'the best' or exceptional. eg "Daves new stereo is the dogs bollocks". Sometimes shortened to 'the dogs' or 'the bollocks' and often changed to similar sayings ie. 'the mutts nuts', 'the dogs danglies'.--Robb
So, it's the "cat's ass" (or "meow") in the States, but the "dogs bullocks" in the UK. Interesting.

I rather liked Tomb Raider, too, and I'm not big on spinny rides.
I second all recommendations to ride DarKastle first thing--it's a lot of fun, but the lines could become unmanageable by noon (if the line starts at the Kastle gate, the wait is about an hour). And Nessie is a safe bet for late in the day.
As for PKD, yet, go for Hypersonic first, then Volcano (which could develop hideous lines later in the day because the trains only seat two across, instead of the now customary four). The woodies you can take in at your leisure--usually not much of a wait at all (even if only one train is running), unless you want the very front.

Again, I must ask each of you to cease and desist "posting" of any kind on these "boards," as my client, Fox News, has pruchased the exclusive rights to the use of the English language. Ergo, ipso facto, res ipsa loquitor, wicki wacki woo. That should clairfy the matter.
The question of "posting" in other languages is a matter for the Supreme Court to decide. I must now file a suit against myself for daring to post in English.
I remain, yours very respectfully,

I prefer Disneyland to the Magic Kingdom in Florida, myself--even though folks on this site do tend to pick on DL's cute little castle. I also enjoy DCA, but realize that it needs work.

^As a lawyer representing Fox News, I demand that you cease and desist in your usage of "fair and balanced." My clients own tne copyright to these particular terms.

^ yes, I believe the station is still back there. They just don't acknowledge Drachen Fire.
They use it for "Sleepless Hollow Manor" during Howl-o-Scream. The barn is even still standing--just no track.

^Hojos is one of those "Good Neighbors." Hope you have a great time!

You could try sending PETA a dozen or so "Meat Lover's Pizzas" from Pizza Hut, Phishy--that should do the trick.

For budget and convenience, it's tough to beat the Howard Johnson's right across the street. More expensive than the Red Roof, I'm sure, but a nice hotel.

Donkey Basketball is real! And Soylent Green is people! Aghh!
Yes, this was a common fund-raising activity back when I was in high school in Patterson, California. Of course, this was farm country (which is slowly becoming subdivision country).

^Doesn't know how to spell "rhyme."
vLikes to spike punch with turpentine.

Congratulations! Now it's time to see how many homeowners' association rules you can flout. I recommend putting up a big aluminum pole and running up a Confederate flag--that'll go over big in California. Or you could install a Top Spin or perhaps a Disk-O in your backyard.

Wow, look at all the rough trade on this page! It's getting me all sweaty... LOL 8)
Actually, the latest series of pictures has left me blind.
But if I'm blind, how am I typing this? I can see! It's a Christmas miracle!

Oops! Went blind there again, for a moment . . .

I remember riding it in '97. Drachen Fire was pretty rough. You had to know how to "ride" it to avoid going into coma. Well, the roughness wasn't that bad compared to Manhatten Express, IMHO. Too bad it was sold for scrap. It would have been a fantasticly unique roller coaster if it had lap bars or very soft, padded OTSR's.
I think that would've helped--sure helped Flight of Fear at PKD.

^Hah!
Not sure I'd trust Angus with a rifle, though. He's a sweet cat with people, but he's deadly enough to the local bird population with just claws, much less bullets.

^Well, some guys are leg men, some guys are into breasts, but you're into ears. To each his own.
If I were Prince Charles or Alfred E. Newman, I'd be worried.

Here's Angus McNasty's official Christmas picture.
Must be tough trying to sleep with that damned Monorail rumbling about.

Psssh, y'all got stuck with gold mouse ears? I'm sporting the platinum ones! Jealous? I thought so...
Yeah, but ya have to pay more interest on those ears, don't ya?

^^Now that is truly frightening. Even scarier than what's below . . .

I recall being a bit perplexed when I first rode Volcano at PKD. Riders with "loose-fitting shoes" (like sandals) were required to take the shoes off and sit on them. OK, that makes sense. But riders without shoes were not allowed onboard. Perhaps the park used to provide shoes for shoeless people to sit on.

Wow--amazing! Clam chowder was only ten cents, and they had "Italian" spaghetti! :shock:
