The SETGO Guys

Primeval Whirl at Disney's Animal Kingdom. You go through the skull of Dinosaur bones at some point. That's the best image I could find. It's a dead animal. But I assume that still counts.

The Test Track. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Chevorlets? Yeah.Were the circuits like freeways? Were Tests 2,5 and 7 preformed? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day GM came to Disney with a proposal.....

Some Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom related ones. You keep your Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom Cards in your car. You go out of your way when you visit Orlando just to go to the Magic Kingdom to get your 5 cards. You care more about collecting the Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom cards than actually playing the game.

I am interested to see the direction the resort will take. To quote Jim Hill "Disneyland is the worlds most famous regional theme park". I really hope that DLR can become more of a resort like WDW. Does anyone know if there are any plans to redo the Paradise Pier Hotel. You'd think Disney would want to make it a more premium experience so that they could raise prices. There seem to be a good number of "value" hotels located around the Disneyland resort. It seems odd that Disney would aim at this market, if there was a possibility to make more money. Is the demand not there? I'm n

Looks like it opened and we have a final POV!

Yes, the Escape from Pompeii debacle didn't do wonders for the relationship between Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Intamin. However, the opinions of one park don't necessarily match the opinions of the other. I'd guess the tower would be a Moser so they can theme it similarly to the way they themed Mach Tower (onboard audio, shaking seats, etc). So...Cheetah Hunt? Does anyone happen to have the plans for Mach Tower? This "debate" could really easily be solved.

Nice to see somebody actually reads my work (although this article was very late). I included some nice pictures in the actual article. http://www.coaster-net.com/news/1724-busch-gardens-tampa-to-build-drop-tower-attraction/ As for my view. I see where it could go either way either being a Moser or an Intamin. I'm more curious to see who will build the ride, than about the actual ride itself. The "Pitt Fall" rumor was thrown at me by someone, it sounds very far out there, but who knows.

I take my fair share of Control Panel pictures. Dinosaur (Animal Kingdom) Pre-Show Control Disney Parking Tram Star Tours Disney Parking Tram Test Track Pre-show Space Mountain Snow Whites Scary Adventures Peoplemover Journey into your imagination with figment

In the last picture of the blueprints it looks like the drop tower may be partially enclosed inside a building (simular to Dr.Doom at Universal) That might be cool if they throw some theming on it. Nice to see them adding another flat. Personaly I hope that in a few years we may see Busch try and do another Dark Ride. After seeing all of this Verbolten stuff I'm pretty bummed that BGT hasn't really gotten an attraction with a "Story". I'd like to see more of that.

I've been playing around with using some Tilt-Shift effects in my Photography. Rip Ride Rockit Adventureland Entrance Main Street I've been using a Internet application for it. Is there a better editing program (thats relatively easy to use and compatible for my Mac) that I could use? Thanks!

I think that week is still Spring Break for local schools (I know my School District is off the week before). Since BGT Is a mainly locals park, Crowds will be higher than usual especially on the weekends. (If you go mid-week crowds I'd imagine the crowds wouldn't be too bad). Go for opening. Ride Cheetah Hunt first, than either go ride Montu or take the Skyride to the back of the park and ride Kumba and work your way over to Sheikra. Defiantly spend some time looking at the animals. All of the exhibits are really well done, defiantly take the train to see all of the Animals in the

Seriously? I've left compliments about Cast Members at guest services and gotten Fastpasses for that. ---- On the subject of Fastpasses has anyone else ever had a problem with demagnetizing their ticket. That happend on my last visit and I was given a special "Fastpass Pass" for use that day.

I really like this. It made me laugh. I guess since the Lady Gaga park won't be getting built in real life, this is the next best thing.

A friend showed me this construction update video today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfQbK6k6hOA

Rides with "Hosts/Skippers/Guides" Less than 10 years ago Orlando had: Kongfrontation Jaws Island Skipper Tours Discovery Island Boat Tours And in the past 10 years live "Host/Skippers/Guides" have been removed from: Living with the Land Backlot Tour I'm pretty sure I'm missing a few. It a shame that rides like this are being removed.
