^ Wrote his post all squished together. < Wrote his post all spread out and easy to read. V Spread out his peanut butter so it was easy to jump into!

^^ Interesting. I never thought Millennium Flyer trains were that heavy to begin with. Honestly, trains can be too light, too. Eh, it's just over a month away. I can wait. Eric

But it can! Just get one of those clocks that are reversed, and you'll see the time move backwards! Why don't they make blue chocolate?

^ Ditto for me. ^^ I agree. I've seen some pretty sorry bodies out there---on young people, too. You have to wonder what they'll look like when they are older. However, on women, I actually find a one-piece swimsuit to be more attractive, as it leaves something to the imagination. Eric

^ Welcome! Hang around here awhile and you'll pick up all sorts of interesting stuff about parks. Eric

Because it has more letters in it. Why aren't there any green smilies here on TPR?

^ Into pickles. < Into the Fritos. V Into the dark side!

American cars reliability issues. Eric

^ I think Tim just didn't have the trains' capacity right in front of his brain. One thing about the Looney Tunes---remember that they're a product of their era, the '30s, '40s, and '50s. Back then, things were more conservative and fewer people took offense to such things. As for a Thursday, May 21 media day, I've attended many Thursday media days. Oftentimes, the ride will open the next day (Friday) for the weekend. Remember what the media day is for---to get footage for news broadcasts of the "forthcoming" ride. You'll see Terminator running on the 11pm news as "opening tomorrow at Six Flags Magic Mountain." Eric

"Please don't be over 50." (Team Thriller) Not everyone over 50 looks bad. I've seen some under-30 types who...well, I don't want to make Terry miss another meal... Eric "who will be 50 in August, BTW" L.

"Does anyone know where the 2nd train is?" (DBru) I heard they tried jumping it over the Snake River... "I had ridden RKMT back in '98, but busted my lip on it" How in the world could you do that on a mine train? Anyway, it sounds like you guys had a great time. One day I'll have to get out to SFStL. Eric

No, I've never had that pleasure because it doesn't snow where I live. Do you ever eat at all-you-can-eat salad places?

Being diabetic, I'm supposed to watch fat, salt, etc. As a rule, I'm pretty good. However, I do enjoy a good burger and an occasional one does me no harm. Here at home, I grill sirloin patties on my George Foreman grill. I lose a lot of fat, but little flavor. Put a nice big pattie on a whole wheat bun with a slice of Cheddar, and, voila, a great burger! Eric

It's been too long since I went to Legoland California. I see a bunch of stuff that wasn't there in 2001 when I was last there. Eric

"I just had a Boyle removed from my a$$..." (astroworldfan1) I worked with a guy named Boyle (his last name) at my last job, but he was a nice guy, not a pain in the ass like your boil. Eric

"That's Ringo singing Yellow Submarine" (DATman) How do we know? I can't hear anything... A slice of Happiness Pie for me is the resumption of casino jobs. I had one last Saturday, and two more are coming up April 17 and 18. I work with this organization. Eric

All I have---and have ever had---is Six Flags. I just don't go to Knott's, Disneyland, or SeaWorld often enough to make them worthwhile. Eric

^ To me, Terminator's lift hill appears to be about 25-30 degrees---just about the normal angle for a lift hill. Psyclone's was about 30, and I think the one on Colossus is between 20 and 25. Eric

^^ Very nice. Funny thing---in looking at Terminator pictures taken from the Sky Tower, Terminator appeared to me to cover a larger ground area than Psyclone did. However, this comparison shows that they are about the same size. Eric

^ Not only did I visit the park a few times in 1971, my park map makes references to the Looney Tunes. I have posted that map here previously, but I'll have to find it and repost it. Ride signs at that time used to say "You must be as tall as [fill in character] in order to ride." But, as I said, the Looney Tunes characters were only in the park for the 1971 season, which ended about Thanksgiving that year. Because the park opened prematurely (in the opinions of most critics of the day), the owners shut it down completely---not even weekend or holiday operation---for six months to upgrade the rides, add a few, reconfigure queues, etc. The park reopened for Memorial Day Weekend 1972 with the Wizard and Trolls (Bloop, Bleep, and Blop). They stayed all the way till 1985, as I mentioned before, when Looney Tunes reappeared. "Arrowhead Splashdown (I can never remember the real name)" (ghost007jas) Jet Stream. That was the original name till a few years back when Arrowhead water sponsored the ride and wanted the name changed. It has since been changed back to Jet Stream---a name I like better anyway. Eric

Looney Tunes were the original characters at the park (1971---before the trolls), and they returned in 1985. To me, they make great park mascots, but of course it helps when the young 'uns relate to them. Because we always watched Looney Tunes, Diana was into it before she could even walk! About Wiggles World, I hope there's more to do there than what Thomas Town has. There's room in Thomas town for a few more small things, and I'd like to see it grow because it is so well themed. Eric

Because they unlock the magic of your imagination. Why does McDonald's large soda the same size as Carl's Jr's. medium?

^ Yes, Looney Tunes are timeless, as are Disney characters. But do they even show Looney Tunes on TV anywhere? They used to show them in the park on the monitors, but then started cutting them out in favor of advertising and music videos. Eric

I have to wonder if Six Flags will ever phase out Looney Tunes? That was big when I was a kid, but do today's kids really relate to those characters? Eric

If Pilgrims Plunge is testing in this weather, it'll be more like a recreation of the old Russian ice slides. But I wish the best for the ride. It looks like it'll be fun once it's open. Eric
