I don't care for that hill, it reminds me too much of Hypersonic! But I dig the concept and the inversions.

Forgive my bad memory and correct me if I'm wrong, but Goliath at La Ronde has seatbelts on the restraints and they are really not a pain to fasten. They connect to the side of the restraint. I'd rather have these seatbelts than the ones that were retrofitted into S:ROS. Seat belt buckle in stomach + ride op stapling you = ouch!

I wouldn't be surprised if the loading times on this ride really sucked at first, cause it will be the first time the ops have to figure out how to load a B&M. At least there will be 1 air gate for every 2 seats instead of 4!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing these. I've always been interested in Opryland because my dad visited there before, and we had a park map lying around somewhere. I wish park admissions were still less than $10!

Looks cool! Can't wait to see more!

Just curious, where do you work that you have to work Thanksgiving? In a restaurant? As for us, I'll just be at home with family--nothing too big! I don't HAVE to work. We get today and tomorrow off. I work in an office. However, were I to not work, I would not get paid. I am trying to save up for a new car. Therefore, I'm going in for a few hours today and tomorrow.

Turkey breast without the skin on is pretty good for you! Too bad I hate it. Go Robb!

I'm working on thanksgiving and black friday. It's not a paid holiday for me, and I need the cash, therefore I work.

Last night I told Derek, "I want a beer!" and so when he came over, he delivered. What a great way to start off the weekend. Really sweet and tart and sour. I want more of these in my fridge NOW! Look at how red this beer is, shame it doesn't show up as nicely on camera Founder's Rubaeus, a beer with lots of raspberries, YUM!

Drop it like it's hot! No Rock Drop!

I don't think a vertical drop inverted coaster is that unrealistic sounding.... impulse coasters and Deja Vu's are vertical Nice work!

Bring back Hurtle... enclose it and theme it...

Boogies?!?!?!

Add to my list: Maverick Griffon

"Popozao" by Kevin Federline! Hi Joey!!

That's exactly the key. Go Robb!

Have you been there? If so, you'll remember the queue for Phoenix doesn't have any switchbacks or anything... you go in the entrance, turn left and go up the entrance ramp, and you're in the station. A line all the way to the gift shop on the other end of the midway would take about 15 minutes to get through when they're running 2 trains.

Lasagna with spaghetti-o's... now I've seen everything!! Joe's lasagna - spaghetti-o's - chili + ricotta cheese = real lasagna!

^Mmmm, that's a good park to have as the only park you visit!! I would like to go to Canada's Wonderland, both Busch Gardens, SFGAd, SFA (credits to be had), Coney Island, and some stuff on the shore in New Jersey. But who knows what I will actually do.

That guy totally stole my bass! Seriously, same brand and color. God I miss that bass! Stupid Buffalo being so far away!

^Disneyland doesn't have many loud wooden coasters that rush by... HUGE difference between a Disney park and an "amusement park".

We walked through a big hall that went around all sides of the sets like one floor around them, we did get to see them actually filming but we were separated by glass for most of it. At one part we got to go on like an observation deck that had no glass, that was neat. There were so many lights in there! And we got to go in the audience part of the set they use when they film a show that has an audience. These shows are free to the public and celebrities go there! We're gonna keep our eye on the website and try to go if Paula Dean comes back

My mom loves QVC. Once I came to PA I realized the QVC studio is not that far away from where Derek lives. So since all the amusement parks around here are closed, and we were extremely bored, today we decided to make my mom jealous and go take the QVC studio tour! This report sponsored by RANDOM LEAF VACUUM!!!! We hope you enjoyed our trip report. People thought we were tourists because we were taking so many pictures. And here's the QVC local bus. Maybe it will be in a town near you soon! Here is where they shoot all the outdoor segments about hoses and rakes and umbrellas and such. We weren't allowed to bring our cameras inside the actual studio, so here is a picture of a squirrel instead. What is in the bag? A QVC ruler? An engagement ring? A shrunken head? You decide. They have lots of jewelry too! Dave even has his own line of hot sauces on QVC. This one has adjustable hotness! This would be great for Robb's wings! They sell food and soda here too! No beer though, sorry Derek And for Joe! Look, Joe, these penguins come already assembled! Look, Jahan, they have something for you too! I wonder if you can buy the Christmas tree with the ornaments already on it? There's something here for everybody. Derek found what he was looking for! It's much easier to smell things in the store than it is to smell them on TV! Since our tour wouldn't start for another 40 minutes, we decided to check out the store. I think it's about to fall on my head! "No... you don't say!" "Hey Derek... I think we're at QVC!" I'm so excited! These parking spots were totally meant for us! But they make it very obvious once you're there! West Chester, PA is where QVC studio park is located. There are not many signs to show you where to go once you get off this road

OK, thanks guys. I thought it would get to the 85 degrees faster. I guess I should give it the benefit of the doubt! In any case, I am very excited to get up there to ride it next year.
