I feel the same way, I love that air time on the hills after the MCBR and the long helix is great.

"At over 2,600 feet long, Knightmare is one of the world’s longest roller-coasters." Are they joking? It's probably not even one of the top 200 longest coasters.

Along with Dorney getting a new power line and the ongoing rumors of the demise of Laser... I'd be very upset if that happened. There were also rumors of Laser getting refurbished but as of a month ago, it didn't look like they did anything yet. I still want that rumored GCI wooden coaster before an impulse.

I voted for middle ground. I think students should be able to wear what they what within reason, no low sagging pants on guys, no spaghetti strap shirts or short shorts for girls etc. One dress code rule I did not agree with in my high school was a hat rule. Guys couldn't wear hats but girls were. I think everyone should be able to wear a hat or have the school say no hats at all.

Sony really has to do something to get PS3 sales to pick up because right now there is really no incentive to get one with the ridiculous price and not enough exclusives. After the launch hype and holidays have passed, I see PS3's at every store. I went to a Target that has close to 20 last week. I have yet to see a Wii in stock at any store and haven't seen a DS Lite in stock in any store in months. I think Nintendo is going to win this generation of console wars.

Based on pictures, best - Black Mamba, Dueling Dragons worst - Scream, Medusa (SFMW)

I was there in 2003 and the ride was gone so I guess it was removed in between the 2002 and 2003 seasons

Sonic really needs to expand. I think that is the closest Sonic to me as well. They advertise on TV around here but they are none in the area. I don't like the new Sky Princess colors either and it's just another example of what I really don't like what Hershey has done to Dutch Wonderland since purchasing the park (what I hate the most is getting rid of the Old Engine 99 train ride). There were even rumors that they were going to change the name of the Sky Princess next year and I hope that doesn't happen either.

Nice pictures, the castle night shots look great.

Disney made modifications to the ride (braking system?), without Intamin's permission.

^ I agree, plus with all the discussion on GADV.com it really sounds like they are leaving for good.

I have also noticed a lot of trash in the parking lot at Dorney even with all those trash cans. It also seems that with the 25 cent cotton candy this past season, you saw a lot of cotton candy and the plastic bags on the ground both in and out of the park.

I think the park has been doing well. I drive by it a lot during the summer and even on weekdays, their overflow lot is being used often (I would guess daily attendance is well under 1,000 but it's a very small park). I would go once in a while even though it's geared towards little kids if the admission was less ($18 plus tax) especially since I need that credit (they were building it last time I was at the park)

Nice photos, it looks just as crowded as WDW was this week. That sucks you ran into a rude employee. Although the large majority of employees at Disney are nice, I am noticing more and more aren't as acting as nice as in the past. At Splash Mountain, the guy at the fastpass was telling everyone that unless your fastpass said 4:00 or earlier, he suggested you play in the park as you aren't getting in (someone even told him he didn't have to be so mean about it as the worker also said it in a mean tone).

Trying out Storm Runner (now that I rode Rock N Roller Coaster I figure I can handle Storm Runner)

It seemed like there were so many accidents on I-4 this week. Earlier in the week I saw an overturned car and there was a 3 or 4 car accident as well.

Great pictures, looks like you had a nice trip. It was cool to meet you today at Epcot.

Body Wars had a standby wait of 20 minutes today (according to the sign board). Cranium Command was posted at 5 minutes. MK and AK were filled to capacity and Epcot was packed. In comparison, Test Track standby was 150, Mission Space standby was 140, Nemo was 50, and Soarin was 160 standby.

Just an update I was there yesterday and though not officially Christmas week it's close and I have to say I was shocked about Body Wars. The wait board in Future World said 10 minutes. The real wait? 0 minutes. No one was around and no one was in the queue. I got to the end of the queue and there were only 4 other people in line. Only 1 operator was working and he was on the phone and I heard him say "I got guests" (like he was surprised anyone was in line). We didn't watch the film before boarding, he just let us right on. It was strange only having 5 people on the ride. I didn't bother with the rest of the attractions but there were probably less than 25 people in the whole place.

It was working today. It's amazing to see the Yeti in person. Only a 20 minute wait too! (at around 10:00 a.m.)

I used to love the old Nickelodoen shows, my favorites were: Doug, Rugrats (episodes before the Rugrats movie), Nick Arcade, Hey Dude, Guts, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Finders Keepers, Make The Grade, Wild & Crazy Kids, All That (first few seasons) and especially My Brother & Me. I used to laugh so much at the jokes of that show. Nick has gone downhill so much recently. I know I am out of the target age range but still, it seems like MTV Jr. to me. The shows don't seem so "innocent" anymore (not sure if that's the best word to use but it seems like a lot of shows are not so kid friendly anymore). The only current shows I really like are Spongebob and Avatar. I find stuff like the Amanda Show obnoxious and each new show seems worse than the next.

Tonight I got a WDW "Treasure Hunt" book for an upcoming trip to WDW. It's basically trivia that you look for the answers to while at the park.

Dorney got a 2nd wavepool this year as well. One is slightly interactive (some fountains), and both appeared to be very crowded. Maybe 2 wavepools in 1 park is a Cedar Fair thing.

20 oz Diet Pepsi at lunch today.

XIII is supposed to be good but I haven't played it. It's $4 used for PS2 and $5 used for Gamecube at EB
