Damn dude, you guys really had nothing to do, huh? But then again, I have been doing nothing except: sleeping, eating and surfing the internet all damn day. It is a shame I didn't have a neighbor throwing away a trampoline. Another thing I noticed is that where you live rocks. I hate living in Southern California where every front yards looks the same. As for the back yards, they dont exist in newer homes.

Woah, Mr. Six totally looks like a perv

^ Good timing, huh? Well I am sure he has pictures that I didn't stick up. I wasn't able to find all of the pictures I took. Must be on a CD somewhere. You know, I was just thinking. Its only a matter of time before we see Flashback on his property.

Just south of Magic Mountain, off the Old Road you will find a kennel unlike any other. The owner is a big collector of sorts. Just about everything that leaves Magic Mountain seems to make it's way to his property. He also has other theme park items from across the country. My Aunt/Uncle/Cousin is good friends with the owner. I was there visiting and he let me look around. So, don't go snooping around without permission. I am sure if you give the guy a call and ask, he would take you on a tour. Anyways, to the pictures. Bugs Bunny says: "Good Bye" The old 99 train is slowly being refurbished. the ower plans to have the train go around the property. Supports for Eagles Flight and some other miscellaneous things Eagles Flight These statues were fabricated for Magic Mountain, but never used.

^ I started decorating back in 1994 when I was 12. It has always been a zero/low budget. It wasn't untill the last few years (2001,2002) that I spent a large sum of money. You would be suprised what you can do with old lumber, cheese cloth and cheap lighting. Look around your neighborhood for people that are removing an old fence or doing some sort of construction. You can usually find some cool things. It might not look like much in the day light. But at night, it really all comes together. Since joining the Navy in 2003, my decorating as sort of been on hiatus. In 2007 things should start rolling again.

Well I came across some old pictures of past halloween displays that I did at my house. I have so many, but here are a few to start off with. I guess this opens a new topic. Post pictures of what you like to do for Halloween. (Yeah, I know its April) In finished form In 2002 I wanted to do something larger than I did in the past. This is the result. This is from 2001. I had an old keyboard laying around. So I toook some scrap cardboard and foam, a little black spray paint and built a piano of sorts.

^ Well back on your planet I think there are!

That looks awesome. But you have to wonder how long it is going to be before a credit whore tries to ride the track. And by the looks of things, they might even count it as more than one coaster.

So how many wings does it take to blow fire out your ass? I only had 3 and I am fine. Weird because I usually eat tons of wings. And no, I didn't think they were too hot to eat. Oh yeah, I know people out there have pictures from the party and the dinner on Saturday. Post em if you may. Thanks.

There was an injury? How did I miss that one? What happened? Anyways, killer party last night. The TPR pencil was worth the trip alone!

Very cool. Something I thought I would never see. But, I am glad that during goth my visits to Dubai, it DIDN'T rain. Only because I had to deal with rain in just about every other port I have been to.

Oh yeah, sure have. I'm in the Navy!

^ Well you won't need a name tag. It should be easy to spot Mr Six walking around!

^ Oh DUDE! White Castle! Heck yeah! I need to get to one of these soo bad. It's too bad I live on the West Coast. If a frozen burger from white castle that I brought out of a vendig machine is good, I cant even imagine how good a fresh one is! Yeah, I am going to NY this year for a WC burger. Oh, and to pick up some chicks in Times Square on New Years Eve. But thats another story. Anyways, Mc Donalds is such crap. But somehow I actually ate there on a weekly basis. How could that be? Oh, I don't know. Maybe it had something to do with one being on every freakin' military base. Well, untill they pulled the contract from the one on my base. Now I no longer eat there. And thats a GOOD thing.

Cool coasters? Eh. maybe a few. Nothing like getting to ride another rollerskater in Dubai! Me, I'm in the Navy. The US Navy that is. Lets hear it for less than a year left on my contract. Yay!

I am thinking I am going to be the only person at the party that isn't doing any of the coaster events of that week. Last time I did any sort of theme park was Knotts back in November. And that was only because it was free for military! Hmmm....30+ people at the party and I don't think I know anyone. This should be interesting. What happened to all the old people I used to know? Gooses Realm of Intensity and SCCC. Those were the days!

Well it looks like I will be there. As long as I dont get stuck at work too late. Sending out the email to RSVP now. Time to see if I can get some pictures together.

By far, SFoT is the best Six Flags park that I have ever been to. Customer relations rivialed that of Disney parks.

^^ Hey captain, very cool picture. When I was there, the wave pool was closed and drained because they were working on adding a new attraction. Do you have any other pictures that you can add showing different angles? All of my pictures wre taken from one side of the park.

Back again for another adventure. This time we arive in Dubai, U.A.E. Located in the Middle East adjacent to Saudi Arabia. I had so many pictures from my trips that I had to divide this into two sections. The following was taken in Sept 2005. Could it be Hammerhead from Knottts? Sure looks like it to me. This was taken as we drove past "Wonderland" theme park. The ride wasn't open yet, so I didn't visit. I was there in 2003 and did just about everything there was to do. Oh nothing here. Just the construction of the worlds tallest building. The actual figure wont be released untill contsruction is complete. But it looks like it could be upwards of 3,000 feet in height. Part of the sports area of 'Dubailand'. I think somewhere in this area is where the other ski resort will be built. Legends will be one of many theme parks in the 'Dubailand' development. One of two FlowRider wave machines. An overlview of the park. There would normaly be a waterfall and a "thunder storm" that floods one of the lazy rivers. But this feature was under repairs. More of the island. Andd oh yeah, a master blaster slide. So much fun! And on the other side of the park is the Mina A' Salam at Madinat Jumeirah. It is the largest hotel in the emirate of Dubai. In the distance you can see contstruction of the 'Palm Jumeriah'. One of three palm tree shaped islands being constructed. Another look at the hotel. The Burj Al Arab sits on a man made island right off the coast. The Jumeirah Beach Hotel is one of three that surround the park. "Add your own comment here" The theming throughout the park is top notch. Wild Wadi is one of the most advanced water parks in the world. Featuring 8 Master blaster slides that interconnect with 7 other slides. You only have to get out of the water for a few slides. Because people in the middle of the desert want to ski too! This is the worlds largest indoor ski resort. But wait, there is more! Dubailand is building a ski resort of their own that will be even larger! ...and ever. ....and ever... Talk about building an entire city at once! This thing goes on forever... On the way to Wild Wadi we pass by the most massive construction project I have ever seen.

Glad you liked the pictures. The Intamin pirate ship might have been there. But I dont think it opened until Aug. I was there in July.

Yeah why cant it snow more here in SoCal? The past few seasons the conditions in the mountains were awesome. This year, nothing. Well, at least the conditions have been good enough to blow man made snow at the local resorts. I just went snowboarding yesterday and it wasn't half bad.

Kind of random. But I was just remembering back to when the ride fiirst opened at Magic Mountain and I saw a bunch of teenage kids cuttting in line. They had no idea what was coming to them.
