	  The Official TPR Video Thread!bert425 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys! It's for reach envelope. Parts of the ride are so close to the track that they needed to add these roll cages to keep people from sticking their hands out of the car. oy. .that makes it even MORE frightening -- like being stuck in a small box being shaken! (I watched this earlier from your FB post, and I had flashbacks to the "enclosed" Texas Cyclone cars too. . so it was funny to see someone else mention it here). Heh, I even ended up looking at the video you did from the back seat of the Cyclone just to compare how shaky it was. I respect you greatly for subjecting you and your "tender parts" (and your wife ) to all that shaking!

	Murray effectively did that years ago tho.

	When we last went to Animal Kingdom, it was after American Spring Break (we went in May-ish), but right in the middle of French Spring Break (I'm guessing). we got stuck in the line for the Safari between two large groups of the most obnoxious teenagers I have EVER seen -- either American or otherwise -- for over an hour. The Cast Members kept giving us the "I'm sorry" shrugs, every time we caught their eyes. it worked out well tho, as when we got to the vehicle, they gave my partner and I our own row to make up for the line experience (the cast member actually apologized that we had to wait and put us in a vehicle without the students!). so we had great views from both sides of the vehicle, as we were able to slide from side to side and take pictures easily of whatever was coming up! so yeah, it was annoying, but paid off - hence me not listing this as my choice earlier

	looking like strongest season yet! (the episode -- minus the last 10 minutes -- was put online over the weekend by Ru). by the way, Sharon Needles' cd "PG-13" is fantastic if you love "club" music. She's not the greatest singer, but the music is just great!

	I really only have 2 that "annoy" me (and one of them sorta can't be helped). 1) Pukers (in the cycle just before you are ready to get on -- shutting the whole thing down for clean up). as I said, this one can't really be helped, tho I do wish that if someone *thinks* a ride might make them puke, either don't ride, or for goodness sakes, don't eat just before going on! 2) this one CAN be helped -- sticky hands from the rider just before you. Yes, that Icee, Churro, Ice Cream, etc is yummy, and yes, it makes the line go faster if you have something to much on while waiting. but PLEASE. . use a napkin (or bring some wet wipes in your pockets) to clean your hands before gripping the hand-bars, or ride vehicle! sheesh.

	I really do see it being a hit. . tho wish there was something behind it instead of just parking lots. but the view onto and down the strip will be amazing!

	  What's your favorite Theme Park Souvenir?bert425 replied to bert425's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys! Luckily, I tend to only do that at Disney. . tho I always go overboard. I think our last trip to DisneyLand resulted in a good 15 shirts (bought within the parks), and another 6-7 bought from the stores between the Hotel and the parks! -- hey, they are at least $20 cheaper, and you can wear them 3 or 4 times before they fall apart but oddly, no shirts from Knott's, or Universal (and I don't think I've ever bought one from SixFlags either, despite the years of going to Fiesta, Astroworld, and SFoT).

I need to upload our older On-Ride photos. . . they're all on the fridge hehe. . might be time to change my avatar to us on the Bamboo Shoot (no, I don't care that the picture says it was called "Ozarka Splash". .it was the Bamboo Shoot dammit!

	she actually went from film to serving the United States. . so the later half of her life tended to be out of the spotlight, even tho she was doing very impressive things: she was a long-serving Ambassador (to both Ghana and Czechoslovakia). . appointed to positions by several Presidents. from Wiki: She was appointed Representative to the 24th United Nations General Assembly by President Richard M. Nixon (September – December 1969),[97][98] and was appointed United States Ambassador to Ghana (December 6, 1974 – July 13, 1976) by President Gerald R. Ford.[99] She was appointed first female Chief of Protocol of the United States (July 1, 1976 – January 21, 1977), and was in charge of arrangements for President Jimmy Carter's inauguration and inaugural ball.[99][100] She served as the United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia (August 23, 1989 – July 12, 1992), having been appointed by President George H. W. Bush

Ha!. . we used to bring those home all the time. you quickly realize how much bigger they are in a room, than opposed to hanging on a booth. LOL. . luckily (?), we have/had a Doberman. . so they never lasted very long, and the backyard was full of "popcorn" graves. . . LOL
