Flash Pass at Gold Rusher? Why? There's hardly ever a line, even on crowded days. Eric

Back in the '60s, my dad worked for Piggly Wiggly when they had 'em out here in California. Unfortunately, they all closed years ago. I don't remember what they became, though. Eric

All of them---forward, backward, and naked! If bills are due, why don't some people pay theirs?

Goodbye cruel world---I'm off to join the circus... Eric

Great review, Louise! Hopefully if you find yourself here in California we can finally meet up! Eric

Six Flags can always honor the late Flashback by calling the new waterslide---should they go that route---"Splashback." Eric

"Pretty cool. I used to be really in to trains when I was little." 9kraken613) I still am, and I live 100 feet from a busy Union Pacific line. Lots of trains to see---freight, passenger, commuter. We get 'em all. Nice TR. We have the Orange Empire Railway Museum out here, about 100 miles from my house down in Perris, CA. What's nice is that you can ride vintage streetcars there, and they have Ward Kimball's old barn and a train or two of his there. Definitely worth a visit. I went about three years ago, and it's time to go back. Eric

^ Happy birthday! Monday night is our next casino job, out at the yacht club. I can use the cash---big time! Eric

Today at work, we had no DSL. No DSL = No Internet. Eric

"...Butter Flake biscuits..." (Me) Exactly what is a "butter flake" anyway? Eric

The butt kickin' bone! What should I do with Robob!tch, our wonderful co-worker?

^ English B&M fan. < American B&M fan. V Schizophrenic B&M&Intamin&Arrow fan!

The place on fire always. Can lizards freeze?

I'm baking some Pillsbury Butter Flake biscuits right now (they have six minutes to go). Eric

^ Only if they're BBWs (Big Bodied Women). Can I eat a sammich if it sat out all night?

^ The only part of Tatsu I have a problem with, forcewise, is the bottom of the pretzel loop. The rest of the ride is OK. I hope you enjoy your visit. We also need to get out there and renew our passes. Eric

I honestly don't see any reason to shut down the back area of the park. Creating dead ends detracts from a smooth flowing park like SFMM (in my opinion). I remember when you got to the end of Spillikin Corners you had to turn around and go back. Creating a loop around the park was the best thing for them to do. And keeping the area open will provide room for future "family friendly" attractions. Eric

Actually, since my mom is from Texas, she said she'd help me shoot out people's eyes, starting with Santa Claus because he's seen too much and knows too much... Can you get sick of chocolate?

How drunk people refer to Saskatchewan? Can fat people "skinny" dip?

"When you see the torch cutting in the middle of the track you know it's scrap time." (Mr.Wood) Eh, you never know...they might have been adding an inversion! As some of you said, I think that space will be generously donated to Hurricane Harbor, and I think Psyclone's hallowed ground will become some sort of family attraction. Eric

A 500 ft. version of Kingdom Come is entirely possible. It's only, what 45 feet taller? A bit more power and 500 ft. up you'll go. Pointless, but possible. Eric

A lot of times, parks reuse names because it saves money on marketing. They can reuse logos and graphics for different parks. Eric

^^ That's because Top Gun is the "new and improved" suspended coaster vs. the "prototype and iffy operation" of The Bat. And I forgot that Vekoma offers a suspended coaster. My guess is that these days, if a coaster doesn't have a bunch of inversions or the height of a skyscraper, no one wants it. That's too bad because a lot of "smaller" coasters offer a lot of fun. Eric

I got to wish a friend in Texas a Merry Christmas on the phone. And I should head down to my mom's in a bit to finish celebrating Christmas. Eric
