I'd like the Rumble winner to be Del Rio. I think he has all the qualities to be a firm main eventer and World champion. Punk is also a good choice, our saviour showing straight edge means he's better than everyone else.

I'm on holidays from work for another week, so have time to go an hour down the road to a few parks in that time. Wet n Wild and Movie World to come. I have a VIP Pass which allows me unlimited entry to those 2 parks, plus Sea World, until June of this year. Monday, Jan04. Sea World, Gold Coast, Australia. Very hot day, so waiting in lines wasn't something we were prepared to do. The highlight of the day was my buddy and I have our photo taken with The Count from Sesame Street

Haven't heard anything no. When he does though, it'll be to cost Sheamus a big match, so their feud is kick started again. Maybe Hunter costs him the Rumble? Thought TLC was a good PPV, Morrison/Sheamus was an outstanding cat and mouse match. Morrison kept getting bullied by the bigger Sheamus, but he wouldn't stay down. Hitting some hope spots to show fans he wasn't done with just yet. JoMo pulling out some offence just as it was needed, with the drama building with some false finishes. And the finish itself, very well done. And I'm no fan of Sheamus, but I have to give him credit, he was in all the right places for Morrisons aerial moves. If the base guy isn't in the right place, then the aerial guy looks crap for not hitting any moves and the match falls apart. Big ups to both of them. Also enjoyed the 4 Way TLC match and the IC title match. So, who now to win the Rumble?

I was wondering which is the longest coaster time wise that you have ridden? Here in Australia, we have some last only 45-60 seconds, yet I've watched some clips of coasters in the US and other countries that go 2:30-3 minutes. So which is the longest that you are in actual 'coaster mode', not counting the ascent at the start and the slow down as you approach the area to get out?

So Morrison gets his shot at Miz this week in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Gives Alex Riley ample opportunities to help keep the title on his mentore. News that Awesome Kong has signed with WWE too. Hope she gets the push her talent deserves. She can set the Divas division on fire if they let her. Those matches with Gail Kim in TNA were the best womens matches I've seen. So here's to more of the same vs Gail, Natayla and Beth.

Mr, thanks for you post, enjoyed reading your thoughts on the Attitude era. All us who lived through it, can't get enough of it. So many guys in the mix, that you could just interchange and still get great feuds matches Austin/Rock/Hunter/Kane/Taker/Foley/Benoit/Angle/Jericho. Add Hardyz/EnC/Dudleyz tag war, outstanding era yeah.

Cena injured his hip last night in a house show cage match vs Wade Barrett. Doubts on whether he'll be right for WM So that could mean no Cena, and no Undertaker. Two big spots for Vince to fill. Maybe use this chance to give a guy like Morrison or Kofi the ball, and let them run with it by getting a big win at WM.

Thanks for the tip on the pizza, we may just check that out. Yeah, to watch it in the Attitude era where blood, boobs and language was encouraged, then to watch it now, it's a different product for sure. But for me, that just means the writers have come up with better stories cause they don't over the top violence and sexual content to fall back on. A few feuds of recent times that were crackers were HBK/Jericho in 08, Mysterio/Jericho in 09, Jeff Hardy/Punk in 09 and Mysterio/Punk this year. Great story telling, with matches and promos being first class. Summer Slam 2000, very good show, as you said, the TLC match was off the charts. Dare devil wrestling at it's best. Wrestling may be staged, but it can also be very dangerous. I also work in education and have students coming up to me wanting to chat about it. It's good fun, but sometimes hard when they believe it's real and I have to explain why I didn't think some wrestler/angle/match was good, yet still not spoil their fun by giving away the big secret Please post your thoughts on the house show you went to. Hope you and your brother had a good night. Steve.

How long have you been a fan? Watched wrestling since 1980 when I was 8 years old. My Mum called me over to the tv on Saturday afternoon, and I was hooked. It's my childhood obsession that never died Who are you faves? All time Bret Hart, Ricky Steamboat, Rick Rude, Currently Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, Miz, Christian, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston. Who can't you stand? Guys like Kevin Nash (yes, I know he's not in WWE) who don't put any passion to what they do. I don't see all they hype for Sheamus either. Do you attend live shows? Been to about 15 shows when WWE have toured here. What's your take on the current product? It's up and down, but WWE have a hugely talented young crew, Miz/Kofi/Swagger/Morrison with bright futures. Plus guys like Cena and Orton are still young, yet are such huge names. I just wish WWE would fix their Tag division, it's woeful, and has been for years. Been to a live show? Post a review if you like. Haven't been to a live show since July, when WWE were last out here. But after going to WM27, I'll post a review then.

Myself and 2 buddies are flying from Australia to attend Wrestle Mania in Atlanta on April 3rd. So thought that was as good a reason as any to start a WWE thread. How long have you been a fan? Who are you faves? Who can't you stand? Do you attend live shows? What's your take on the current product? Been to a live show? Post a review if you like.

Bermuda Triangle being closed down at Sea World on the Gold Coast It was my favourite ride out of all the Gold Coast parks. Sure, it wasn't a thrill ride, but it had atmosphere with the UFO, aliens, people being cloned on glass tubes and such. I liked the story of it. You will be missed my friend.

Hello All. My very first post here. Great site, love seeing so much enthusiasm for parks and rides I live in Brisbane, Australia so am only an hour away from the Gold Coast theme parks of Warner Bros. Movie World, Wet n Wild, Sea World (all owned by the same company, so you can get a great 3 park deal on entry). Dream World (thrill rides) and White Water World (water slides) are essentially the same park, as you can literally walk through a gate into the other park. Also, Aussie World is fairly close by, to the North of the city. I've lived in Brisbane since 2005, so while not a life long resident, know a few things about the city and the Gold Coast. Would be happy to answer any questions anyone has re the parks and/or city. Steve.
