The closest park to me is Frontier City in OK City, so here is my 5 year plan: 2017- "The Oklahoma City Thunder Boomerang". Guests launch out of the station and up a 400 ft. tower with the NBA Championship Trophy at the top. . . but wait! At 370 ft, Kevin Durant pulls a hamstring, and the ride vehicle slowly rolls back into the station disappointing everyone. 2018- "The 3.2 Beer Garden Of Wonder". Come sit at picnic tables and watch in horror as idiots pay real money for crap beers like Bud and Miller Light that are even more watered down than normal. 2019: "The OK Oil Drop Tower". Guests feel like a real Oil Executive as they rise up the the 500 ft tower and can look down at all the poor people below. . . but what's that? Your companies fracking has caused another earthquake, and the tower shakes and sends you and your net worth plummeting to the ground. Thank goodness the feds bail you out before you hit the ground. 2020: "Tornado: The Paycheck". A dark ride through a geo dome like Spaceship Earth, except it follows the history of weather related disasters in the Sooner State. Narrated by a laconic Bill Paxton, who ends each section by saying; "I'm only doing this for a paycheck." After reaching the top of the dome, the ride vehicles spiral back down while window air conditioning units blow on them and Paxton says; "Oh no. . . we're in the vortex. . . we're spinning. . my fly is open." On ride photos include the option of a photo-shopped naked Helen Hunt. None are ever sold. 2021: "The Chicken Fried Steak Museum". Housed in a double wide trailer, this dynamic exhibition explores the history of Oklahoma's official bird, mammal, and fried food. The gift shop at the end offers "Oklahoma: Come For The Tornadoes, Stay For The Chicken Fried Steak" T-shirts up to 6-X.

That would be awesome.

That's what was reported; not sure if it's been confirmed as fact yet. And yeah, the kid is husky, but he doesn't look big enough to break a normally functioning restraint. He was just a boy still; sad.

After picking her son up from school one day, the mother asks him what he did at school. The kid replies, "I had sex with my teacher." She gets so mad that when they get home, she orders him to go straight to his room. When the father returns home that evening, the mother angrily tells him the news of what their son had done. As the father hears the news, a huge grin spreads across his face. He walks to his son's room and asks him what happened at school, the son tells him, "I had sex with my teacher." The father tells the boy that he is so proud of him, and he is going to reward him with the bike he has been asking for. On the way to the store, the dad asks his son if he would like to ride his new bike home. His son responds, "No thanks Dad, my butt still hurts."

I'm more of a rum, vodka, brandy drinker than a beer drinker, but I do like Bass Ale, Guinness, and especially this stuff: Hard to find sometimes, but it's great beer.

^ I imagine that was a pain for him to deal with and that he's relieved to be past it. Last Sunday's show was good, but it was one that was more about setting things up than anything significant happening; I expect this up-coming episode to be a lot more eventful.

I agree Adam. I'll never go because I'm against their hiring policies, but I'm sure there's enough people out there who'll support it for 'faith' reasons, or at least be curious enough to check it out once, that it'll do okay. I kind of doubt they'll make enough to expand as much as they want to, but the Creation Museum is still operating, and this will probably do similar business. Not my cup of tea, but to each their own.

I went back three days and didn't see one already posted. Normally, if it's on the front page, it's already posted. No Tron videos on front page. Let's see, TPR main page... Yep. May, 9th I thought you meant of this thread. I don't go to the TPR main main page very often. Stop apologizing; just say your version has "advanced squinching" the first one didn't have.

Yeah, the whole thing sounds like bull from the park. According to the article, he weighed about 260 pounds- big, but if he fit in the restraints they should have held. And if they were that delicate, there should have been warnings and he shouldn't have been allowed on the ride. No idea how things work in Spain, but I hope the family gets some kind of reparation; even an acknowledgement of sympathy for the kids death from the park would be a start. Here's a pic of the young man- not sure when it was taken:

Mmmmm. . . Dino burgers. Extinct goodness in every bite.

"Now c'mon fellas! What's with all this fussin' going on? Yeah, we has us a little 'ol fire yesterday, but we had that meth la. . . uh. . . tool shed, back up and running in no time! Y'all just be patient. There ain't never been a Rod 'ol Dolly hasn't been able to get up and running yet, and I'll lick this one eventually! Keep dreaming your dreams y'all!"

Wooden animals, concrete base, elevators, restaurant on top. . . Yep, that'll put those heathens who don't take the bible literally in their place!

^ Sad to see, but inevitable. #ItllNeverOpen

Some knock-off, illegal Chinese 'squinching'. . .

I'm a little rusty on Old Testament specifics: what did Noah serve in his restaurant on the top of the original ark?

Thanks for the explanation King.

I thought the 'squinching' was taking place in the flower beds??

Looks fricken amazing! I think Spiderman has been served. Thanks for posting this BDG.

Has to be one most expensive train rides (per minute) in the world. I haven't been down there since 2000 and will be looking to make a trip sometime after the Kong ride opens and the crowds settle. I'll get the park-hopper option, but I'll ride that damn train 25 times so I don't feel ripped-off!

I enjoyed your Trip Report, especially the non-theme park stuff. You did a good job on it!

^ As mentioned earlier, unless riding "Hogwarts Express" is make or break for your trip, it seems like spending the extra $150 would be a waste. It does seem like a lot for not much, but enough people must think it's worth it or they wouldn't be selling them.

Well done!
