That is the most badass gun ever... -
^ROFL! Anyways, since your under 10, maybe its because of that COPPA thing? (Don't ask me, its some sort of law saying you can't give out personal info on forums and such if your under 13, have Robb or Elissa clear up on that).

National Geographic Narrator: This is a coaster enthusiast, also known as an ACEr. They are commonly found at these "theme parks" and usually weigh at an astounding 400 pounds. The ACEr feasts on gravy on a daily basis and has a liking for crossing their arms and long tube socks. They also love the Beast alot for no reason whatsoever and argue in a flame war for hours on end at Coasterbuzz, a site that costs twenty bucks to join. Yes, the ACEr is a beautiful species... Ahem, anyways, I would say go for it, its rare people that aren't in the mass media business ever go on National TV.

You cheated, you used stuff you found on Google Images... Oh well, this gives me a hilarious idea for a review type thing.

At least your page isn't made fun of on ARN&R as "stuck in 1995". Nice little site though, Can't wait to go to the fake parks! -

I laughed at the recent "Selling of Mr. Six" one and the column of "Website still stuck in 1995." Haven't visited in a while, great site, now lets see if we could make it, again. -

Back on topic ... PART 2: Dr. Snooze and Stray Cats and Draggins. Part two began as my group entered the park at around 10 AM. First things first, I went over to the one ride I haven't rode at IOA. I was going to go to the Incredible Hulk first, but lack of single rider and an hour wait turned me away... What was that one ride you ask? Dr. Doom's Fearfall, or as I like to call it, Dr. Snooze. So, I went to the single rider line, and waited... and waited... and waited. The line was slow moving since one of the towers were broken down. But after an hour of waiting... I finally went on my first S&S Tower. I was expecting a fast launch, but instead, it felt like a high speed elevator. I at least got the seats with the good view of IOA ("Dungeon" 3). After the first launch, the ride was... zzz... Yep, this tower wasn't as insane as I expected, hence why I calls it Dr. Snooze. Uber waste of time, 5/10. After Dr. Snooze, I decided to go to a ride that didn't have a long wait and is the most insane water ride on the planet. Yep, Dudley Do Rights Ripsaw Falls. Midway through the line, I felt like this was my worst day at IOA. Suddenly the ride breaks down, and extends the wait from a 1/2 hour to 65 minutes. Peeved even more, at least this ride was thrilling. I always liked that insane last drop into the dynamite shack and the airtime. This ride scares the crap out of me, 8.5/10. After Dudely Do Right's, I went over to the only coaster of the day. Dueling Dragons Fire, but this ride had probably the shortest wait of the day at only 20 minutes. Took two snapshots of Draggin's and then boarded the second to last row for an insane ride. This ride is CRAZY! The ride never loses the crazy G's or the speed throughout the course and the interaction with Ice was great. DD:F gets a 9/10 from me, now this is what Montu SHOULD be. After a kickass ride on Fire, I went over to Toon Lagoon to meet up with the others and had lunch at Dagwood's. During my meal, just about everybody spotted a stray kitten inside the fenced off area around Bilge Rat Barges. I was like "WTF? Since when did people bring cats to theme parks?". I then asked a worker and said the cats were wild, yadda yadda... After a great lunch, I then went over to the last ride of the day since we had to leave the park at 4 to meet up with another group at the hotel. The last ride, Jurassic Park. I haven't rode this ride in a while and it always intimidated me. The wait wasn't bad, with only a 1/2 hour wait, and then we were on the boat. This ride was alright with the usual kickass theming. And of course, you can never forget the B&M Invert in a cage that drops down on you . After that, you know the ending, T-rex, yadda yadda. Nice drop and huge splash and thats the end. JP:RA gets a 7.5/10 from me. After JP, we were heading back to the hotel and I saw Posucksion's Fury. Again, the ride was down for "rehab", I thought to myself. "Change that sign to "We are currently including less special effects and sh*ttier scripts for your enjoyment!" After a mediocre day at IOA, I hoped USO the second night would be better. Guess not...

Wild and Crazy Kids (old Nick show) had a show filmed at SFMM. The challenge, trying to keep the most Kool-Aid in a pitcher while riding Colossus. Also, you may want to take a look at this site : http://www.coaster-net.com/sl/movietvappearances.php -

To describe Rock The Universe to you, basically its the weekend of Jesus in Orlando. Basically, I was there with the church and the two main reasons of going; 1. Mummy, 2. Relient K. There, now on to the report, and pics will be up later. PART 1 OF 3: Mummeh and its a small world on acid I first arrived at the park with my youth leader Gary and I. Got our tickets and wristbands into the park and said I could go to ROTM bymyself. So, eager anticipation made me rush over to ROTM and got into the single riders line. Yes, since the park was crowded, the wait was 45 minutes, but Single Riders was 10 minutes. I entered and got Row 2 for my first ride on ROTM. This is my first time on a Premier coaster and my first launched coaster in a while. Anyways, I missed Kongfrontation (in which its closing date was last Thursday three years ago ). On ROTM, you go through a little dark rideish introduction where some kid mummy tells you to turn around. Then Imhotep sucks his soul out and does the usual villain thing. After a few special effects such as the beetles, you then roll back. It wasnt much though, then after that, the track turns towards the launch track and you incline up toward the launch. The launch was decent, but not as intense as I expected, after the launch, twist turns and various other Imhotep thingys blur by. And there was a crapload of airtime on this baby. After the first half, you stop and it looks just like a station until Imhotep again launches you. The second drop kicked ass and had more sweet airtime. After a few more jerks and twists, its over. It felt short to me, but then again, you SoCal'ers have the even shorter version. Overall, ROTM gets an 8.5/10 from me. After ROTM, I then went over to Shrek 4D where it had a short line of 15 minutes. I waited and got on. The ride had a nice little presentation before the main show and this movie perfectly bridges Shrek 1 and 2. Of course, family friendly and the like, it was great fun. Shrek gets a 8/10 for me. After Shrek, I then met up with Chris and Kevin. When they came, we decided to ride ROTM. I know this may peeve some users, but yes, we abused the single rider line *expects gunshot from members*. After another kickass ride on Mummy, we then went over to MIB: Alien Attack. Ahh, I love Sally Dark Rides. After waiting in line for a half hour, I liked this ride A LOT. Of course, it involves shooting aliens and such... and then being eaten. I got a score of around 37,000 the first time, I don't get how to score extremely high on Sally Rides though... But I still thought MIB was great and it gets a 7.5/10. After MIB, we decided to head over to the park's other alien related ride... ET. With a 10 minute wait, we felt like we wasted our time. Of course, I haven't ridden this since I was little, so... Of course, this is the ride where you board bikes and such and that you could fake your name. So for the first night, I decided to fake as Bill Gates, of course, the op only typed in Bill . Oh well, who cares, on to the ride. Of course, you begin off into the woods where the feds are trying to arrest you for possession and having an alien. The only part that peeved me out was the part where you are on top of the police car. Felt so unrealistic when the bike "jumped". After that, your bikes rise up over the city, etc. Then your still rising into space and here comes the cheesiest special effect. A wall light that looks like something you could buy at Spencers before you turn down on to ET's home planet. Now this is the part where it seems like its a small world on acid. All of the creatures before AND after ET healed them, they still had this "JUST SHOOT ME!" look. After the ride, my friends and I made wisecracks about the ride. My friend Chris said,"If you want a place to practice for MIB, this is it." ET gets a 4/10 from me, I think its time has come and I wouldn't mind it being removed. Heck, I wish this was removed instead of Kongfrontation for ROTM... Oh well... After the acid trippin MIB training session ride. We then walked over to an attraction that actually kicks ass, despite a 20 min wait. Yep, Terminator 2 3D, you know a show kicks ass when it has an Arnold wannabe actor and stuff blowing up and portals and that kind of stuff. T2:3D of course gets a 7/10. After T2, we then went over to the "So outdated, this is a flashback to 1990!" ride, BTTF. Anyways, we all know the plot for BTTF, and we all know what 88 MPH is. Of course, this ride was exactly what I remembered it to be from when I was younger. Biff steals the car, yatta yatta... Bop him, yatta yatta, the Professor is crazy. Yes, this ride is dated, a LOT, and it seems like the film for the ride was getting fuzzier. Also, the ride was rougher and made my head slam against the dash in some of the sequences. If you want to lower your IQ a few points or be inspired to invent a time travelling car, this attraction gets a 6/10 from me. After BTTF, it was around midnight, and most of the rides began to close. Good thing though, Mummy was still running! So, we got back into the 20 minute line and rode ROTM again. Of course, it kicked ass... and this time I had the front row. But one thing arose, my friend Chris was a dumbass (pardon me French) for losing his cellphone out of a loose pocket. He lost it, and we had to spend the last half hour at Guest Services... The first night of Rock The Universe was great, ROTM rocked, etc. Expect pics and Part 2: Dr. Snooze and Stray Cats at IOA later. This night got an 8.5/10, despite crowds, at least ROTM made up for it. I didn't take any pics of Mummy since that shot of the entry would be so generic... Holy Themeparks Batman! We are at Universal, not Six Flags! WTF? (Sorry for the blurriness) GRR... I'm Shrek in soundstage 4D! The entrance, Jesus loves Universal.

Nice job on color choice SFMM, looks like Silver Bullet. Can't wait for the announcement of Silver Mullet! -
^I second that list, Dudley DoRight's always intimidates me by that steep and tall drop, with no restraint! Also it probably gets you wetter than JP would.

Mr. Show was the Tits!!! I also liked Kids in the Hall ... although they did annoy me sometimes. Mr. Show was hilarious, though I have only seen the bleeped out versions on Comedy Central. Kids in the Hall was funny too... "I'M CRUSHING YOUR HEAD!" (crushes guys head with fingers)
