Nice video, I was kind of surprised to see the new paint colors since I have not been there in around 2 years and didn't realize the coaster no longer has white paint.

Nice TR, it really looked crowded. You didn't miss much by not getting to Navy Pier. To me, it's the definition of a tourist trap. It seemed to be nothing but some shops with overpriced stuff, a few restaurants and a ferris wheel.

I don't want to see Hershey buy the park. I like Hersheypark a lot but I really don't like what Hershey did to Dutch Wonderland. They got rid of the classic ride Old Engine 99, changed the maximum height limits on some rides like the ferris wheel from 60" to 54", they posted a maximum height limit of 54" on the silo slide (I don't think there ever was a height limit) and added more skill games to the park. I could see them doing similar things with Williams Grove like getting rid of the fun house and/or the darkride.

That would be an interesting park, I guess the arcades would be filled with every Mortal Kombat game released and other games from Midway (too bad they got out of the arcade industry )

Interesting, I'd like to see the video game industry open up with jobs all over the country since in the past it seems like all the jobs were in LA and NYC. I'd really like to work in the industry but don't want to relocate.

I met Mike Tyson 15 years ago in Atlantic City. He was shopping in some fancy clothing store and they had the whole store shut down for him. My friend and I asked if we could get his autograph and he said yes (we were only 7 at the time).

I HATE my schedule this semester. Most of the courses I am taking are only offered at night with 2 1/2 hour classes (I have trouble paying attention for 80 minutes so 2 1/2 hours is killer) so I have a crummy schedule: Finance: Monday, Wednesday, Friday - 9:40 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. Management Science: Tuesday, Thursday: 8:40 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Law: Tuesday: 4:40 p.m. - 7:10 p.m. Accounting: Wednesday: 4:40 p.m. - 7:10 p.m. Accounting Info Systems: Thursday: 4:40 p.m. - 7:10 p.m.

Maybe it's a Philadelphia area thing, where all the schools are too strict?

My school was also strict about everything. One time I was playing cards with someone else (no gambling involved just for fun) when we had free time and a teacher walked by and told us we'd get detention if we didn't put them away. The worse was the computer rules. No message boards, no e-mail, no games, they blocked every site if it was remotely "fun" (video game message boards for example). They also had a crazy dress code but I don't think they enforced it too well.

The answer I'm sure a lot of people on this site would say, add an amusement park in the back of the White House (and I would also add a giant arcade with every DDR mix ever released and the rest of the music games from Konami).

It seems like they lure people in with cheap admission and season passes but make up for it with the way overpriced food, drinks and skill games. I know at most parks those things are overpriced but at Six Flags it seems worse than other parks.

The drum game at that Boomer's is Percussion Freaks 5th Mix. It's the Korean version of Konami's Drummania. It's a fun game (I have the home version) but it's a lot more complicated than Taiko Drum Master which is the other drum game. I wish more US arcades had both drum games (and more music games for that matter)

That could be, especially if it might have been released after the Playstation version (if it wasn't, I have no idea why I didn't get it for Dreamcast since the graphics must have been better)

August 29th, I'm not looking forward to it because usually there is always next summer to look forward to but this is my last year of school.

The crowds will probably pick up again soon. Since in a few weeks the northern states go back to school and people will be taking those week or two of summer vacation trips. We had planned to go to Orlando the last week of August and when we made reservations in Disney, the restaurants we wanted to go to were either completely booked or they had 1 or 2 reservations left. I expected that at Christmas but not at the end of the summer.

I have it for Playstation. It was a fun game but I agree the computer cheated too much. I would be in 1st place for almost all of the 3 entire laps and I would get hit with a weapon (I hated the frog one where you became a frog) and lose the race. I also didn't understand why they didn't have more "main" Disney characters like Mickey, Pluto etc. I thought that using the ride vehicles instead of go karts was a great and clever idea. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel with better graphics and more attractions. Another similar game I like is Mickey's Speedway USA for N64. The tracks aren't Disney World related but it was made by Rare and it's a great game. It is a Mario Kart clone but a good one. I also want to see an update to the NES game Adventures In The Magic Kingdom which was one of my favorite games back when the NES was the current system.

Storybook Land still is open, in fact they are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and it still gets crowds (every time I drive by it, parking is in the overflow lot). I never got a chance to get the credit there since unless they had an old coaster years ago, the coaster they have now (Bubbles, http://www.rcdb.com/pd927.htm) opened after the last time I was there in 2000.

If it does end up being built, I hope they can come up with trains that have better capacity than the ones at PKI and PCW.

3 1/2" disk: http://www.8bitclassics.com/images/3.5%20disk.jpg 5 1/4" disk: http://www.8bitclassics.com/images/5.25%20disk.jpg I hated the 5 1/4" disks, they were so fragile. I had to use them in middle school and that was in the mid 1990's (just shows how out of date my school district was)

That happened to me last week. The fire alarm went off at 7:23 a.m. and we rushed outside but it was a false alarm.

Catastrophe Canyon at Disney MGM Studios

I don't know if it takes a lot of practice or what but I have never seen anyone use a skimboard and really go further than a few feet. The concept looks cool but I wish there was an easy way to at least skim the waves, 15 or 20 feet at once.

Upper Dublin High School in 2000

When I got the game, I played it almost everyday for 6 months then I just got bored with it. I guess I got tired of running around the village, and talking and doing errands for the animals. I plan to get the DS version and I'm hoping I'll start enjoying the series again.

Yeah, the traffic in NJ can definetly be a factor. It's well past Labor Day at that point so a lot of the people going to the shore and back won't be on the road but there are still some that continue to go even through October (and a some shore towns have activities in later September) so it could be a disaster trying to go through NJ knowing you have to get to the airport (not to mention that I-95 can also be bad near the Philadelphia airport).
