Good point. I'm sure I'll enjoy Mako (I like Fury 325 at Carowinds quite a bit too).

^This photo has gone unchallenged for too long.

I've been renewing mine online for years, but I don't think it makes any difference whether buy it online or in person. I'd still buy them online to speed things up at bit when you get to the park; fortunately, KD does a pretty good job at processing passes quickly. Be sure to check out the food booths at the Spring Bloom Festival. Not exactly Epcot or Busch Gardens, but they had some good offerings last year.

I haven't bee to Thorpe Park in, well, a decade, but I liked Nemesis Inferno (didn't care for Colossus). I would like to visit the park again. Thanks for the up-close look.

Shipyard American Pale Ale Pretty good--nice brew for the summertime.

I like what I'm seeing here. Looks like Motiongate is shaping up to be a excellent park.

Hmm--then again, there was this animatronic show in Japan (Rusutsu Resort). [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=TPR_Japan_2013_pt_2_088_u1d9[/coastertube] I think it was built by Sally; it's also a bit creepy.

Ultra Twister--Rusutsu Resort (Japan)

Scaloppine di Pollo, please--but it all looks great!

Australia

KD does have a pretty good set of flyers--definitely worth riding (it's even on Fast Lane).

If you're referring to just Kings Dominion, yes--it has always been in that spot. Otherwise, see post above.

^Probably not very.

^If that fence wasn't there, that elephant would burst out of that tree and kill you!

^You know, I might've been the one who took that photo, Bill. EDIT: Yep--I did. Uminonakamichi Seaside Park (Japan)

^Arctic Circle is still in business?

OK, it's been awhile. Here's a "Q" park, even though I haven't visited it myself. Quassy Amusement Park (Connecticut) And here's a bonus "R" park that I have visited. Rusutsu Resort (Japan)

^Yes, the top three are I305, Dominator, and Volcano (in that order--at least to me).

It's good to see Tomb Blaster getting some attention. I rather like that ride.

Quicksilver Express--Gilroy Gardens

I was expecting more from the splash boat ride while floating to the lift hill, but was disappointed. Not a big loss (Williamsburg's Pompeii is much better).
