Glad you had a great time at BGT, Katie. Really liked that you enjoyed ShaKira. Those were some decent pics, too, but a bit fuzzy.

LMFAO... Stay tuned to this topic for more high class British pr0n by Lou.

^LOL... Heres a good one; Jingle Bells, Batman the Ride smells Robin side went down, Batmobile was keyed, Joker's Jinx was down, hey!

I tried to take some pictures of Carowinds from I-77 the other day. They sucked, of course... -Carl "What do you expect when your going 70 MPH down I-77?" F.

Wow, they have made some progress on this thing! Thanks for the link, SFOG Freak .

Ugh... WHERE'S THE BOWELS OF TROGDOR? Seriously though, great job, looking forward to this park since I frequent H*R...

Looks like a decent recreation, but I hated the overuse of trees and you screwed up the colors. Other than that, great job!

Unrealistic, but its Six Flags... over your Mom! Decent park, wish it was a little bit more realistic...

Joyous Festivus!

In Florida... snow? What snow? In Pittsburgh (where I am now), the snow has been melting for the past 2 days. But, there is still a good portion of snow everywhere.

$10 on a CD soundtrack of the game Sonic Heroes at a (closing) Media Play in North Pittsburgh, PA. Game soundtracks are hard to find, and a bargain at that price.

Lets party like it is 2004 all over again!

Engrish Locks!!1! Seriously, I think forum mods and admins should become a bit more grammar nazi-ish. But not too harsh, at the same time, TPR isn't CBuzz y'know. Heck, workplaces are becoming grammar nazi-ish. They are sending people to night school English classes for relearning basic grammar. Ahh, the people on internet forums.

Great photo TR Robb. Hope this Asia trip is better than the last! And by that, I mean 20 times awesomer.

At a store, its always quicker... Would you rather go to Pittsburgh, PA or Akron, OH (good question for Wally )

As an early Christmas present to all. I have decided to release my park early, and there is a lot more done than shown in the screens. I like to consider this the BETA version. 8-Cars, like any trainer, screws up the game a little, so some things could be a bit disorienting and such. For the most part, the park is around 90% done. There are a few more buildings and sections I have to complete, and then it will be done! [Download taken down, please critique. Aiming for a January 2006 release of this park...]

Just what you needed, a shocking picture of the day!

Shrek 4-D (USF)- This was a perfect family attraction for everyone and bridges the 1st and 2nd movie in a great way. Terminator 2: 3D (USF)- This is one badass show, just go see it... Thats all I can think of right now.

Digital Cable, has a great lineup of channels and no ugly dish. My relatives are stubborn, they have been DirecTV suscribers for like, 10 years. They don't care if wind, rain, or snow affects the cable, but I do. Go with digital cables, it can give you entertainment in all weather situations (well, unless the power goes out, of course! ).

No, I will always know him as "sfmm_geek" to me . Anyways, sfmm_geek, seemed like you and your friend had a fun time. And is it me, or have B&M's been running great? Montu at BGT was running nearly trimless a few weeks ago.

Wow, whoever knew Elissa had a nice package .

Franz Ferdinand- Take Me Out (AKA, the PSP commercial song)

Video games, a form of entertainment that has been around since the late 1960's and has since then, boomed with many stars and became household names such as SEGA, Nintendo, Playstation, Crash Bandicoot, Grand Theft Auto, Mario Bros., and Sonic. Surprised that video games have yet to mark a major attraction at a theme park. But for years, movies and music have been the dominant theme for rides. Six Flags had rights to WB movies and licences. Universal and Disney at approximately the same time opened the movie theme park concept. Then of course, Paramount has its own chain of theme parks with movie themed rides. But, why haven't we seen a major video game themed ride catch on as a trend in the amusement industry. Surely, theres Tomb Raider rides at PKD and PKI, but they lean toward the movies and not the games. Six Flags over Texas, back in the mid 1980's (when the SF chain was under ownership of Bally), had a Pac-Man themed kids area. But Pac Man was a fad back in the 80's, so that quickly diminished, but today he is a well-known gaming icon. But now on to 2005, no parks are really investing into building a video game ride, themed area, or park in America or Britain. Sure, SEGA built SEGA Joyopolis in Jap-land and was once a sponsor inside Innoventions at EPCOT and Disneyland Cali, and that infamous short lived "Poke Park" in Japan as well. And that small little Sonic room in AT's defunct Toyland Tours ride. So now, heres my rant, why haven't game companies tried the unique way of advertising on rides or encountering a park chain to build them a theme area as a joint-venture advertisement? I always pictured Nintendo teaming up with Six Flags or Paramount and building an area with rides such as a Zelda themed dark ride, racing Mario and Luigi themed wooden coasters called "Mario and Luigi: Superstar Coaster", a Donkey Kong themed wild mouse, and other Ninty themed rides. As well, I always saw another park chain getting the rights to use Sonic the Hedgehog and building a mega-looping coaster themed after Green Hill Zone. But I am surprised, every year we get a "Superman: Ultimate Escapade" ride instead of something virtual. Under SF's new ownership by Red Zone, one of the plans include an XBOX themed area. Sure, it may see some fruition to my idea of a video game area, but the XBOX console isn't really that family friendly. Sure, you'll probably like it if your a gamer like me and want to ride "Master Chief: The Ride" or "Perfect Dark Zero: The Ride". Then again, Universal has PG-13 attractions such as Terminator 2: 3D. I am still waiting for the day a Nintendo themed area pops up and the gaming trend catches on and eventually leads to a full-fleged game themed theme park. Chances are, that would be done by EA .

You actually like Dr. Snooze!? Anyways, a comment on that Bobcat picture, those stray cats are all around IOA. Heck, when I was at IOA two months ago, I saw a young kitten in a garden area near Bilge Rat Barges. An odd site at a theme park to see cats wandering around. Also, great photo TR! Glad your having a good time in Orlando.
