Expedition Everest- Disney's Animal Kingdom

That's pretty cool yet scary that they opened an SBNO coaster right on the spot for you guys

At Six Flags St. Louis my friends and I saw cats roaming around underneath Tony Hawk's Big Spin (now Pandemonium). This past year, at Fright Fest at Six Flags St. Louis, my family and I headed to the Final Freakout, which is where are the characters gather at the end of the night. Two clowns just surrounded me and asked my family what my name is. Then they got real close for about five minutes and chanted, "Hellooo Steeeveeen" over and over again. It was creepy yet awesome Once again at SFSTL, I witnessed a boy get off of Excalibur and throw up. He then took a few steps and threw up again. He then repeated this two more times. He could've just thrown up all at once, but instead he made the ride ops clean up 4 separate piles of puke. A few years ago at SFSTL I was handed a piece of paper designed like a million dollar bill with a picture of Tom Cruise on it. It then talked about the "Million Dollar Question" and the joys of scientology on the back.

This really is horrible. I can't imagine how the people who were on the train (especially her son) and the ride operators are coping with this tragedy.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

It definitely looks like it. I doubt it would still be up if it weren't going to be used.

Wildfire- Silver Dollar City

I think the ride would be better if both sides have different inversions instead of riding through the exact same layout twice.

Thunderation- Silver Dollar City

Here are some pics of what was in my box! I finally got it all organized Here are the two awesome TPR shits I got Here is the front of the awesome Outlaw Run shirt I got. And here is the back of it. I actually was there opening day, so this shirt will always be special to me. Here are the two poster-sized maps of Cedar Point and SFKK that I got. (I really want to get these framed!) Here are the non-Disney park maps I recieved And here are the Disney maps and festival schedules I got!!! Here is my bag of IAAPA brochures and schedules I got. Pretty much everything else went in here. Lanyards, magnets, ICW chapstick, my SFOG water bottle, Roller Coasters in the Raw, a 10$ iTunes gift card, and so much more! Thanks for all of this awesome stuff Robb and Elissa!

I received my Box of Crap/Care Package today! I'm still organizing the gigantic pile of awesomeness so no pics yet, but here are some of my favorites: -Outlaw Run First Rider T-Shirt (I was actually there opening day and so this shirt will help me keep that memory) -TPR Shirt and Japan Tour Shirt (I love TPR and I can't wait to go to Japan so these were awesome!) -Kentucky Kingdom and Cedar Point Park Map Posters (I really want to get these framed and up on my wall) -Roller Coasters in the Raw Volume 2 (I officially have the complete set now) -$10 iTunes Gift Card (Who doesn't love a gift card?) -SOOOO many international park maps (My favorite are the Japanese ones!!!) -Plenty of Disney special event schedules, souvenirs, and maps -IAAPA brochures Thank you so much Robb and Elissa for all the amazing stuff!

Rethemeing possibilities: The Voyage = Leif Ericson's Viking Voyage Gobbler Getaway= Leif Ericson: Legend of the World's Greatest Viking Turkey Whirl= Leif Ericson's Drunken Viking Ride Mayflower= Leif Ericson's Swingy Ship

And the holiday being celebrated would be, er, Odin's Birthday? How about...

This confirms it. I'm guessing they'll have a deal on park hopper tickets next summer, but who knows

LOL

Water coaster Where would it go though? I wouldn't mind getting rid of Tidal Wave, if that's where it would be going. I can't really see the Log Flume going anywhere, and it just seems logical to use it as a sort of "upgrade". In the water park. I meant a water coaster such as Wildebeest or Mammoth @ HW.

Water coaster

Yeah, that is why I'm guessing they chose to go with the name (same with Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey). I honestly don't care how bad the name is, I'm just looking forward to riding it. The concept art looks interesting.

Dragon Challenge: Chinese Fireball- Universal's Islands of Adventure

1. I can't complain about the Knockturn Alley announcement, it should be pretty cool. 2. "Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts" is a pretty bad ride name. I think it is too long and would've been better if they had simply named it "Escape from Gringotts". That's just my opinion though. 3. I feel like most of the merchandise at the original HP land is straight of out a Harry Potter merchandise catalog. Every once in a while one will come in a dvd case and every thing from HP land is in there. There are a few original items, but most are for sale in other places.

I pretty sure is just meaning to say he can't wait to be able to go to the event next year to announce the new ride since this year he couldn't. I do not believe he was trying to hint at anything big. You guys just got iRat

Avatar Airbender- Nickelodeon Universe

Some briiliant person probably thought is was a good idea to force people through the games area twice - once to enter and once to leave. The original entrance was down across from the bathrooms and the theater lawn seats. The original entrance queue house is now empty and pointless. I think the logic behind moving the entrance was to try and make the ride easier for handicapped riders to get to the ride. The ride was built before ADA was passed, so no ramp had to be built. The entrance in the current location is easier to access as it eliminates the steps. The exit can't be modified into a ramp because there isn't enough room to make make a shallow enough grade for a ramp. I came to this conclusion based on this statement about access to the Screamin' Eagle found in the Ride Safety and Accessibility Guide Does this mean handicapped riders must go back down the entry way/queue to exit the ride?

I'd like to nominate Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts
