Hey everyone! Yesterday, my dad and I went to DL to see if the soft opening of Pirates was true. I'll let the photos explain the story, but I'm just gonna say that the new Pirates is AMAZING! ---Brent I don't like exits. It means the ride/day is over. Thanks for reading! Wow, that's a big whale. OMG, Robb didn't clean up after his dinner! Elissa hates these things. They eat rodents. The new opening area that replaced the old sign and parrot. Here is a really bad picture of the final scene of the ride where Captain Jack is singing and counting gold. Check out that enterance. Isn't it hot? We were waiting for the Mark Twain to come when suddenly we heard this huge scream. I turned around and saw CMs talking to a huge crowd waiting for Pirates to open. Immeadiatly, I knew they were going to open it. My dad and I ran over there and they le They have already started taking the bleachers down from the premiere. A new pin trading area is to be found right by Big Thunder. The Columbia is all dressed up for the premiere last night. Thank god some skelton thing didn't come and attack us. After that, we decided to ride Splash Mountain. At least I could get on one water ride that day. So we went and looked at stuff from the movie. Doesn't this chair look awesome? When we got to the park, it was closed. We asked cast members and they said it might open later. We kept our hopes up. Arrr, this ride rocks!

My favorite restraints would have to be the butterfly restraints on X at SFMM. They are just so unique and give you a lot of space to move around. Second favorite restraints would have to be B&M OTSRs. YOu can practically sleep in them. ---Brent

^ Seriously, if you are thinking about buying a gun, get the Ion. It is defenitly worth the $300. I am a pretty avid fan of paintball, but my brother is super addict. He is on a team and is going to play in his first tournament in July. If you are into scenario, you should start playing speedball. It is a lot more fun and the action is really close up. As for my gear, I just have some basic stuff. -Icon Z -Extreme Rage Gravity Feed -C02 tank -VForce mask If anyone wants to go paintballing with me sometime, just drop me a PM and we can meet up at SC Village. ---Brent

I wish you could buy just one, not six. Otherwise, I would have bought one . ---Brent

Yeah, I can't believe I just keep getting more and more pictures. ---Brent My dance partner and me

YAY, Pirates soft opens today! I am so there. ---Brent

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland ---Brent

I defenitly prefer hangtime in inversions. Sure, the teardrop loop is awesome with its forces, but it is all about the zero-g rolls on B&Ms. The feeling is incredible. ---Brent

Great pictures Erik! Soren finally got his Dueling Dragons credits, eh? I thought maybe I would get them before he would (Orlando Trip in August). Looks like you guys had fun and it is gonna be awesome to be out in your neck of the woods this August. ---Brent

I'm gonna have to also guess Hershey Park. Knott's doesn't look like that at all. ---Brent

^ Roller skaters are a common type of roller coaster. They are made by Vekoma and happen to be more tame then some of the bigger coasters. Some of the bigger ones are Gadgets Go Coaster at DL, Barnstormer at MK, Flying Unicorn at IOA, and Oki Doki and B-land (I can't spell it). In my signature, I have my coaster count. Do you think we would be at this website if we didn't enjoy riding the coasters? Do you think we do it just for the credit counts? Maybe some people do, but most of us don't. We are here for the experience and to talk to other people about those times. Not to compare credits or who has more. We just want to talk about our favorite things in the world: roller coasters and theme parks. ---Brent

Your ride order should go as follows: Ghostrider Silver Bullet Xcelerator Jaguar Montezuma's Revenge Timberline Twister (kiddie credit) The rest of the day can be spent re-riding and riding flat rides. Hope you have fun! ---Brent

I signed it in a heartbeat. SFMM, even though it is not the greatest run park, still is incredible. If SF decides to sell it, I think they are making a wrong desicion. And wait a sec, it wasn't just SFMM mentioned in this deal, was it? What about SFEG, SFDL, WW & EV, and HH? ---Brent

Very good Photo TR! Gah, these photos make me anxious to get my ass out to New Jersey and ride these things! Good job again! ---Brent

Move Along - All-American Rejects ---Brent

Well, from what this sounds like, the changes are going to be awesome. Supposdly, tonight at the premiere, the guests get to ride Pirates before everyone else. Then tomorrow, they are going to soft open it for the public and it will officially open on Monday. If I'm wrong, please correct me. ---Brent

Actually, on most coasters, seat numbers 11 and 13 have done the most magic for me. ^^On Xcelerator, I think the back gets the most airtime. I've sat on every seat on the and the last seat on the right tends to get a lot of airtime. ---Brent

Wow, that last picture was very disturbing. Anyways, nice pictures, these waterparks look awesome! ---Brent

Actually, you got it wrong. People can still guess mine though. ---Brent

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!! ---Brent

^ I'm watching the game also, and Korea is playing a little better than France right now. There is only like 20 minutes left in the game though, so if Korea is gonna score a goal, they better do it now. ---Brent

"gimmie some candy. So his alien minions ran and got him a tub full of Tootsie Rolls. By the time he got the tub, Robb had eaten all of the candies. WalMart yelled out..." ---Brent

Gah, Brazil won. I'm gonna say it again GOENGLAND! ---Brent
