What's the word on the street been for the cast member previews?

^and probably succeeded a few times, unfortunately.

Lol! I guess I haven't seen it then! That's too bad that it seems to rarely work. Seems like a pretty neat trick.

Cool review! We have two right now, but I'm just holding on to them hoping the demand goes up for Christmas so I can sell a few to cover the cost of us getting one! Still haven't seen one yet. Our Target took out the Wii display, but still hasn't put in a Wii U display.

I miss Prince Desmond!

Ok, yeah, I've seen that one then. I didn't know if there was more to it that I was missing. Biggest disappointment in that ride to me is the movie picture quality. I was really surprised at how bad it was. It made it stand out way too much against the physical sets.

Why couldn't they have done this before there was Fast Pass! It would have made the lines so much more tolerable pre-fast pass, but I'm so glad they are doing it. It's nothing amazing, but it is definitely a huge improvement over the standard line.

What is the Dementor effect? I may not have experienced it as I don't recall anything.

Seems like a lot of truly amazing stuff going on! I'm looking forward to it more and more every update! Can't wait to see more.

I'm still so amazed and glad that they are getting a new ride! For a long while I thought they were done for. I'm glad the stadium fiasco is done. I can't wait for when I'll be able to ride some coasters, then see one of my students play quarterback for my favorite team all in the same day, at virtually the same place!

Awesome report. It's nice to see the different Christmas celebrations at the park. I rarely get to see them, so it's nice to see the reports.

Pleasant Surprises - Wooden Warrior - A really fun ride for such a small ride! El Toro - I honestly thought everyone was way overhyping it and it would be fun, but not amazing like everyone thought. It was beyond amazing. The entire Europa Park - I really didn't know too much about this park before I went. I absolutely loved it. Unpleasant Surprises - The Beast - I grew up hearing about this absolutely amazing ride all the way across the country. Nothing special. The Voyage - Similar to The Beast in hype, but extremely rough. Steel Dragon 2000 - Looks can be extremely deceiving. Wasn't terrible, just nothing special.

I don't care, as long as it's not Xcelerator colors. Really though, as long as it rides well I don't care what it looks like. I do wonder how some of these places decide the colors. They seem so random and odd. Still need to get on a wingrider one of these days!

Seems scary but cool at the same time. I've never been on a really rough ship yet. I really hope I don't, as there are very few things as gross smelling as vomit. Thanks for the video!

It really was a painful ride. I can't wait until the new one is open. It will give me a nice excuse to head out there again. That, and the Smore's cart.

That would be nice. It is rather slow. That's the one thing that stood out when I rode it for the first time.

Really looking forward to watch Lincoln. Looks like a good movie. As for Terminator, I too am still impressed at the special effects. They also did a great job with the Universal Terminator attractions. For as old as they are, the 3D effects are really really good.

^^Great report! Thanks for the pictures. I always like seeing how other people view the parks. I've ridden Forbidden Journey a few times, and have never seen the Whomping Willow work.

I'm just glad they're redoing it! Anything is better than what it used to be.

With SFMM it doesn't really matter what day you go. If it's a slow day they will use only 1 train to make sure that your wait is as long as if it was busy.

I would not be surprised to see a big coaster 2014 or on. It's tough to compete against Universal and Disney within a year or two of their major improvements/additions. I think it would be smarter to do something big in 2014.

The number of rides and places you visited were insane! Great update! Love seeing all the strange stuff you can't find in the US.

I still think they should do the "Best of the World" tour! It would include all of those!

This will give you a link to some info on Moonsault Scramble. www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21000&start=670 You can also see a video of the ride. It does go pretty near the top of the tallest part of the ride. It's too bad SOB was such a terrible ride. I never got to ride it, I guess that's a good thing, but it did look very impressive. I am a little surprised they didn't do a Rocky Mountain treatment, but it probably was in bad shape for being closed for so long.

That's awesome! That should make them never forget to help pay for the toilet paper again.
