Yea, I got that off of someone's myspace a few weeks ago. I had pretty much the same reaction.

Except they left all the paint up on the sides of the building, so its very confusing! Great update as always. Nice to see BGT is TPR friendy. Seeing that picture of the Hulk makes we want to go and get some more of that B&M bliss! Great TR!

I just have a simple black background. Ive been meaning to put a wallpaper up, but I just cant find anything that doesnt make all my icons difficult to find. Thats why I tend to like the minimalistic wallpapers better.

Heres a few I happen to have on my computer..... ssshhhhhh! All great moments start with "here, hold my beer" no comment....

I was going to go to the parks tommorow, but I just dont have the time. I have studying to do. I had to pick up a whole 12-pk of Coke just to get the $20 rebate for HHN. I cant wait for HHN. Ive never been to a park halloween event, so it should be interesting. Great TR!

Im not gonna have a Stay and Scream. I have a Power Pass already and Ill just get one of those discounted HHN tickets with a Coke can.

Just to let all FL residents know that there is a special that can save you up to $27. Just pre-order online with the UPC of specially marked Coke can and you can get a ticket for that Thursday for $32.95+tax. It may not be much, but its still a savings! Do any of you know if Thursdays sell out, because I dont think ill be able to get my ticket until this weekend.

Either way, they are way past due for a paint job. Im heading to the park tommorow! Any specific pictures you guys want? Im gonna try to get some pictures of Prof. Mcbeans Machines or w/e its called. Two weeks ago, I could see work lights in the tunnels.

Ive gone to see a lot of movies recently. Transporter 2, Exorcism of Emily Rose, Lord of War, and Flightplan. Transporter 2: Really great movie that I felt did a good job of holding up to the first one, which was also very good. I liked a lot of the action bits, but it seemed that some of the special effects could have been done better. Overall, a great movie well worth seeing. Exorcism of Emily Rose: Didnt like this movie because it seemed all build up and no climax. The movie spent all this time building the audience up, only for the movie to end with no interesting ending. It kind of just.....ends. Not reccomended. Lor of War: I thought this movie was awesome. It really shows how governments have these hidden agendas and how wars kind of build up. Once the opening scene starts, you know its going to be a crazy movie, and Nicholas Cage was born to play this part. Highly Recommended! Flightplan: I have mixed feelings about this movie. Most of it didnt make a lot of sense until the end. The director could have thrown us a bone or something, but I guess that may have been what they were going for. The script was pretty well written, but poorly executed. Some of the actors, including the captain of the plane, left something to be desired. The story was fairly unique though, and an interesting movie none-the-less. My recommendation for this movie would be to wait till its a rental. Thats it for now!

The Park and the waterpark together are called Six Flags California. It also says that at the park entrance. I never got this either. The Park itself is still called Magic Mountain. Probably always will.

As far as I know, the cable system can only been used from a complete stop. The cable lift system works like a sled on the end of the cable. It connects to the train in a one-way release. The train can move forward over it, but cannot move back(think of the chain-dog ratchet system). The only way it would be possible to include this on El Toro is if they someone how synced(sp?) up the system just perfect. Also, the Cable lift system has been used on 3 coasters by Intamin. Goliath at SFH(now Walibi World), Expedition GeForce at Holiday World, and of course Millennium Force. EDIT: beat me too it on the sled part Coasterfanatic!

I live about 20 minutes from USO, IOA, and Seaworld. I live about 30 minutes from the Disney complex. Orlando rocks!

I just cant wait till vertical construction starts. Seems like they have been taking their sweet time gettin those footers in. I also am wondering how much replanting of trees and bushes they will do after the ride is completed. The mountain was always so peaceful in its own way, and I hope all this construction doesnt screw it up.

I know im really new to this forum, but I read the site and read the forums regularly. My name is Aaron and Im an admin over at Coasterforce. If I may, id like to join up with you guys at IOA on the 20th. I may be able to do Sunday the 23rd as well, but I know for sure I can do Thursday.
