Hey everybody! This thread is simple!

Feel free to use it to post updates, trip reports, questions, comments, and of course, general discussion. For pictures and videos of the park as well as past updates, see TPR's Park Index Page.

Official Hard Rock Park website: http://www.hardrockpark.com/main.html This park is sounding awesomer by the minute. Would have been nice to know which ride will become the B&M, but the attractions sound like good ideas to an already great park! I just hope that it opens on time in 2008.

The sale is completed... but still, who is PARC? *I cut out all of the financial jargon at the end. Well, at least its some news. But I'm still waiting for some word from this "PARC" company or whatever...

Nice update Jahan, did you play Super Paper Mario at the Wii Experience or not? //really wants Super Paper Mario and a Wii now.

Thanks for the HersheyPark update. The Boardwalk waterpark looks great!

Nintendo, if you don't up production soon, I'll be getting a 360 Elite instead. ALMOST got one yesterday. The EB at my work had them a few hours before I walked in. Now I probably wont EVER get a Wii until like, 2008 or 2009. NINTENDO!

You mean Rusty Shackleford... Sh-sh-shaa!

^The people who stand on a swinging ship have balls. Heck, people in Baghdad have balls. Nuff said.

So, after seeing some nicely done parks with RCT3 Wild, I want to get the expansion pack. However, the only finds for RCT3 these days on store shelves is the Platinum package. I already have RCT3 and Soaked, but not Wild. So I've been foraging online looking to buy it for cheap (using Froogle). However, some seem like seedy eBay results and no-name sites like this one I found to be the cheapest: http://www.onlinethrifty.com/showproductinfo.php?cat=Rollercoaster,Tycoon,,Wild,Expansion&asin=664848485774568790671100&lang=eng I don't know whether or not to really trust that site. But then, is there any other way to get a standalone copy of the RCT3 Wild! expansion pack at all for around $10 or under? Also folks, please don't fileshare here! Thanks in advance for anybody that helps!

So wait, the supports are going to be gray or is the gray just primer?

Only as a ride or a themed section, but not a full out theme park. Just my two cents.

I nominate Robb . Whenever this episode airs, I will definitely watch. Even though I hate these types of shows, I can imagine the episode already when the coaster enthusiast family is swapped with some other family. ACEr Mom: GRAVY FOR DINNER TONIGHT! Kid: But temporary mom! We had gravy for the past six nights! And I have gone up two pant and shirt sizes overnight! ACEr Mom: SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!

Speaking of which, when is this PARC company going to announce their presence? They said March... yet we are now digging into April. I don't really trust this PARC company is going to get things on track, especially if they have not said a peep since they have bought the parks.

Both of these are YouTube links of my favorite ads as of right now. Tom Goes to the Mayor DVD

I would like to see these ASO tools design a ride.

Is this a bunch of random photos crammed into some silly fictional TR?

Awesome TR, Glad to see Alton brushing up on things. Although, this pic is hilarious: Thunder Kock Rally... LMAO!

Agh, thats it, I *REALLY* want to quit Panera now! For one reason only, this kid that gets everything I want in his hands. If you are one of the few people that have read my numerous vents on here, I'm going to talk about Gumpy (his real name is Forest, but I call him Gumpy). I'm not really serious about my dead end job in the fast food business. People come and go and I had some really good days and some bad days. My peeves about this kid started the moment he walked I met him for the first time. It was 3 PM a couple of Saturdays ago, I was making an order and all of a sudden, some creepy looking dude taps me on my side and says "HAY!" I *HATE* getting tapped, if you want my attention, just say "Yo!" or something, but don't get all Solid Snake on me and be stealthy. This was just the beginning. And to describe how Gumpy looks, he just looks like an overall creepy dude with a horrible smile even braces or headgear won't fix. A few weeks later, Gumpy got a hang of working line and I lay back and chill like any dude working at Panera for a few months would do sipping my Mountain Dew in the back. But eventually, slackerism got to me. We had another new guy, Luis, join the line and we had to train him. However, when my manager was introducing Luis to us, he told Luis, "Trust Forest if you have a question, okay?" I totally got burned right there... Trust the guy that has been working three weeks or trust the guy who has worked a triple shift, had to fill boots for the dish guy or the dining room guy, and worked at the place for 8 months, longer than most people in the fast food business. Yet, the manager still goes, "Trust Forest!" I learn to live with my hatred of Gumpy. Last Monday though was when my hatred escalated a little bit. The day before, I got some new shirts for work and since I ran out of my old work shirts, I had to wear one of my new ones to the "Cleaning Party." A cleaning party is basically a deep cleaning of the restaurant, while still getting a nice little bonus and free food. I needed the hours, money, and something to do over spring break. So on Monday night, from 9 PM to 3 AM, we scrubbed the entire restaurant. One of the chores we had to do during this party was to clean ceiling tiles with bleach (now you see where this is going). Gumpy went trigger happy with the bleach and ended up whipping it all over the place and got it in my left eye and on my new shirt. I was pissed. But then it leads to today... I don't know how this fugly guy ended up getting a girlfriend, but anywho... yesterday he ended up cheating on his girlfriend with a co-worker named Christine and they did it (not at work, so he didn't get caught, however, he and Christine kept flaunting that they "did it"). Now, I'm no Adonis either, but how the eff did he get a girl to do it with him? He has no looks whatsoever, nothing really going for him, yet he has a girlfriend and lost his virginity far before I could get to second base with a girl. Oh well, then again, I post on roller coaster forums, so maybe thats why . Also, now today, he ends up getting more hours than me thanks to his charms with the managers. He now gets full eight hour shifts during the weekends while I only get like crappy hours this week. I only work weekends and so does he. My hours this week; Sat 8 AM - 2 PM [6 hours] Sun 12 PM - 4 PM [4 hours, then again, its Easter, so we close shop early] I really want to put in my two weeks, but first I need to go job hunting! I can't wait to give the big F.U. to Panera and notably to Gumpy. Oh Gumpy, how you can make how I feel about this job from "Cool, some cash" to "Festering hellhole where I write a several paragraphs long post about some fugly guy thats the same age as me taking the charm of several people and having the world in his lap." Screw you Panera, hellooo new job (Hopefully either Circuit City or Buffalo Wild Wings).

http://www.cumberlink.com/articles/2007/03/30/news/news668.txt Basically, the park will reopen as a flea market before it is sold and some of the kiddie rides will operate as a gimmick. Sadly, the Cyclone will not operate. Oh well, a flea market is more fitting for this park.

Easter Weekend=CRAZY! Trust me. I went on Easter Sunday back in 2000 and holy crap, the park was packed to max capacity. Then again, Busch was handing out free Fun Cards to all Florida residents, so... yeah... But I'd bet it would be crowded all Easter weekend.

To be honest with you, I just edited YetiBall into an already photoshopped picture titled "Tourist Guy." You can find the photoshopped picture here discussed in this informative Snopes article: http://www.snopes.com/rumors/crash.htm But, contreversial things will always be remembered! I quote Homer Simpson, "If you don't like it, go to Russia!"

Nope, no way. The only way to get one is probably to go to Japan and get one yourself.

Nothing so far. However, I did NewElephant's prank.
