^^ Because even $200 is a poor investment in FMP?

YES.

Continued from my last entry: * Tyler Hedrick and the Forbidden Mayonnaise Packet dark ride * WKD Blue Small One, to compete directly with Pepsi Max Big One for soft drink / coaster sponsorships * Robb's House of Hot Wing Pain, strategically located within 50 yards of 5 bathrooms * Mandatory thought transmitters, monitoring such musings as, "Bouncy-Bouncy 1 is really good value", "I'm already carrying a Bag O' Crap", and "13 people have died in an accident on Cameron's Vegemite Flume" * Unnamed roller coaster with 1/6 simulated gravity, to answer the Ultimate Question: "What would rides be like... ON THE MOON?"

Yup... really severe weather Left the park around 8 and was racing the storm home, apparently the extra ride night still happened for Maverick and Shoot The Rapids, I don't know how they could do that seeing how it's still raining in the area. STR's ERT was apparently cancelled, but Maverick's was still scheduled to continue.

More ideas: * NYC Tornado Terror: The Experience (much in the same style as Twister at UO) * Elissa-themed café, featuring skinless hot dogs, plain pasta and Yo Crabba Crabba * Piers' Fancy Bistro * Bench: The Ride * Employ John to take photos of broken-down rides; this will reverse-psych the attractions into working again * Rent-A-Kid service for the donkey-themed Roller Skater (NOTE: contact local authorities before doing this) * Promotion: free drinks for every hour the outside temperature is NINETY DEGREES or above * Line-jumpers / French-crunchers fed to Bantron™, The Lovable Sarlacc

Megashark vs. Giant Octopus: Splash Battle. Also, my investment would go towards a theme restaurant with portraits of Robb terrifying his food into submission.

Through a series of interesting circumstances, I hung out with Kenny Ryan of the Windsor Spitfires hockey team (currently at Leafs training camp for the upcoming season, was 50th-overall NHL draft pick last year) for a week up at our family friends' cottage. Awesome at wakeboarding, but I kicked his ass at Mario Kart 64. Awesome guy, and I'll definitely be watching the Leafs a lot more closely in 2010-11.

I call first dibs for cockpunching the thieves.

"I've had gay sex, but I'm also a virgin. Check the dot, y'all."

Yeah, apparently the only other location is in Kansas City. http://www.trexcafe.com/Main/Findus.html Went there last year and had my first-ever chicken-fried steak, which was fantastic. T-Rex gets the edge over Rainforest for me as well.

So, if the Carousel of Evolution breaks down, are you stuck 67 million years ago forever? [/reference]

^ Actually, it was one Dan in three different parts. /If I'd spent more than 5 minutes on editing, it'd sound a lot better, but I didn't know how fast the BOC's were being flung out.

And now, a Clerks II Moment. This has been a Clerks II Moment.

Wish I could've shared in those memories of Boblo Island (would've been my home park), but being born in 1991 sort of complicated that a bit. My parents have tons of memories of the place, though; wonder if some old photos will surface eventually. There's still a giant fading billboard painted on the side of a warehouse in Detroit saying "BOBLO ISLAND: Detroit Dock" that you can see very easily from the Ambassador Bridge:

Finally got my issue a few days ago (it was shipped to a US location then forwarded here), and I've gotta say, I was very impressed right up until the games section. Then it was AWESOME. This being a quarterly publication and only ONE perk out of many, I don't see why it makes any sense for members of this site not to take the leap and become a member of Club TPR as well.

I've never seen anyone strict about Fastpass return times; I've used them up to an hour after their expiration. (No more than that out of principle, though I do know people who have accumulated them throughout the day and used them all at once in the evening.) As for Spectromagic, it should be returning after MSEP's Nightastic run is over; I'm pretty sure it doesn't "go" anywhere else, either, save for maybe taking the opportunity to perform general maintenance on the floats.

LIES! It's all for business purposes! You're dead on about the Thomas merchandise, at least in my case; not too long ago my entire room was done in blue/yellow/red, and if I'd known then that my parents had magical pieces of plastic called 'credit cards', I'd have taken the store.

Pretty sure that's why they enclosed Avalanche Run and made it Disaster Transport.

I wonder if wizard prohibition will lead to wizard rumrunning and wizard Al Capone taking over the biz.

Is she carrying a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch? Awesome photos as usual, Hanno.

Liquor sales have been temporarily halted in the Hog's Head, among other things, to accommodate for the HP crowds. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-universal-wizarding-world-crowds-20100710,0,2975752.story

PointBuzz is saying that the new ride will not be manufactured by IntaRide, though the article they cite (already posted a few pages back) doesn't exactly say anything indicating as such. http://www.sanduskyregister.com/sandusky/2010/jul/06/web-update-new-cedar-point-thrill-ride http://www.pointbuzz.com/c/cedar-point-2011.aspx

Now THAT is how you do a first post.

Don't think for one SECOND that slipped past me. Plus he apparently sounds like a crazy scientist in this, too.

I don't really drink beer... but now I wish I did. We are in the golden age, gentlemen.
