That happened to my friend when he went to Japan Hopefully it won't happen to me when I go now that I know! He got banned (see RCT4 speculation thread).

I've been wondering that ever since I saw a Robb and Elissa wedding photo update on here with a picture of a sign reading "Alvey/White" wedding.... now I finally know that is the case!

That does look really great. I am jealous of iPad owners even MOAR now!

This is the best thing I've seen all week. Cats are fascinating.

GT vs. UVA on the 9th should be interesting. I'll be there. From what I saw today UVA kind of beat expectations and GT... didn't.

Hilarious UVA is down only 7-14 at halftime at USC... however it would be a totally different game if there weren't the worst refs ever screwing over everyone for laughs. Any thoughts on this game or the general hilarity of the ACC? Oh, and where are those Virginia Tech fans?

Awesome! How much of it is edible? (obviously not the loops)

^Because that's an easy way to raise expectations impossibly high. Of course, the GP might be fine with it.

It was done in '09. I'm bad at news.

^I don't like it, per se, but I am not as vehemently against it as other people. I'm indifferent. After the first curve after the drop, I rather enjoy it.

Check out this crazy guy: he built specially designed roller skates to skate down Mammut in Tripsdrill in Cleebronn, Germany. One rogue nail would have apparently resulted in "certain death". How about this kind of ERT in the future?

Can't wait to see how this turns out. Here's to hoping for a BGW sister ride as part of their 2-year plan.

BBW was my first coaster, and thus it will always hold a special place in my heart... unfortunately Arrow suspendeds are hard to find around these days.

Look at your amusement park. Now look at me. Now look back at your amusement park. Now look back at me. Sadly, it isn't me. But if it stopped buying crappy carnival rides and fake plants, it could be me. Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're on a boat, in the park your park could be like. Look at your hand. Back at me. I have it, it's an oyster with two Quick Queue passes to Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Look again, the oyster is overpriced amusement park food. See? Anything is possible when your park is like my park and not like a ghetto carnival. We've got a horse.

Does this expansion plan include the drop tower, or is that separate?

Weird, Alpengeist was actually one of the few where I felt my glasses were super secure the whole ride (with no strap)...

I've never gotten sick on any coaster, but Europe in the Air at BGW pushed me really close. Strange how the tamest rides can do that...

So... it's a glorified zip line?

You are never going to see Virginia coming! We're gonna sneak up behind you and then fall apart and be terrible.

I hadn't been on it before yesterday but I also felt kind of "ehhhh" about it. I think I've been spoiled by the motion simulators at Universal.

Great TR so far! I'm looking forward to the rest of it. The Mall of America seems to perfectly personify America to me... everything is about 10 times bigger than it should be. And it's great (mostly/sometimes/rarely!)

Was AC running well and often? It was down for a lot of yesterday.

That is true. I was called a "cheater" by several little kids.

It's all about making the job fun, I guess. And he's winning that.

Yay! That makes me happy. I'm "Team Leader" over there, so when the team makes guests happy, things are usually good. Were you working today? I may or may not have seen you. Also, who is that crazy guy who works there? His name was Will, I think. That guy made my day/week/life.
