Not sure about Knott's, but I wonder if Disneyland's drop in attendance was caused by the price hike for annual passes. The drop in Disneylands attendance probably has more to do with DCA and Disneyland opening at the same time every morning, and DCA getting the first "attendance click" from guests visiting the resort. Prior to CarsLand, DCA use to open at 10am every day and Disneyland had openings of 8am-10am daily.

Transformers brought a 15% growth for Universal Studios Hollywood! Can you imagine whats going to happen when Harry Potter opens!?

Ha. Win! ^^I'd like to know what disability, too. It's sad that this is going on, and I'm glad Disney is going to crack down on this practice. They don't have to say anything. Parks will get sued if they ask anything other than "do you need accommodation because of a disability?" and "what accommodation do you need?" Guest says they can't wait in line, park has no choice but to take it at face value. Which is why I hope Disney switches to return time passes (which people will still abuse for bonus fastpasses, but at least they have to wait the wait time) Actually there is a way to control that as well. Just have a Cast Members scan each persons ticket in the disabled party, so the ticket becomes blocked from receiving Fastpasses or return times at other attractions. My Magic + should make this very easy.

Desperado- Buffalo Bills Casino on Saturday. My back is still sore.

The best the Log Ride has ever looked in my 13 years of riding it! Excellent job Garner Holt/Knotts! Cannot wait to see what they do to the Mine Ride!

I just looked at the renewal form with the new prices, and they have increased the renewal discount rates for APs! Premium- $40 off, up from $20. Deluxe- $20 off, same as last year. SoCal- $10 off, up from $0 SoCal Select- $10 off, up from $0. May not be much, but a discount is a discount. And if you're buying a Premium or SoCal Select AP, you're paying the exact same prices as last year.

Yep. Just look at the Superman conversion as a testament on how bad this park is managed. They knew that Superman was going to have a drop tower attached to it when they turned the ride around backwards. Instead of making the appropriate modifications to the ride while it was down for its conversion, they end up closing the ride less than 8 months after the backwards version opened and the ride remained closed another 6 months for Lex Luthor to be installed.

Wasn't that big of an increase. I was expecting the premium pass to be at least $699.

^Yes, that is something new. I wonder if we will see more of the parks priced differently instead of a flat rate in the future.

^You're not doing anything wrong. A one day ticket to SFMM at the gate is $64.99 and a regular 3-Day advance ticket is $39.99. So with the Coke 3-day advance deal, you are only saving $1 off of the online price but $26 off of "at the gate" price.

Hes looking at 3-7 years in prison and a felony on his record if he is convicted. I really hope we get to hear what this guys story is. Was it a prank, accident, or an act of terror? What a dumbass to say the least.

^Who said it was an American?

Any reports on if (or if not) this rehab (looking at the "long" in the rehab here) has made a difference to how Ghostrider is running right now? If anybody has ridden in the front seat lately (where you can see light brownish-yellow track if there is any), how much retracking has there been done during this long rehab? I rode the first train of the day on GR. My friend and I sat in the front car but during the ride I couldn't tell/see if there was retracking done. And yes, there's a huge difference from the front and back seats. I'd say the last 3 cars are death, but the ejector airtime was great And btw, all 3 trains were running, gold, copper, and silver. They were running all three trains at the same time?

Isn't there rumors that CarsLand is going to replace Rivers of America?

Here is the new talking meet and greet for Optimus Prime and Megatron. Very impressive and funny:

Great win by the Kings. Love Playoff Penner! Also its great to see the local LA Media is pumped about a possible Kings vs Ducks playoff series. Seriously, the only two teams in town that are in the playoffs, and this is how they treat them. Fox11 is a joke.

This one is SO much better! And not a single backcheck was given.

If the Hawks, Ducks, and Kings win their next game, the Kings and Ducks will meet in the Playoffs for the first time in history!

I don't know what I'm more upset at. How the Kings played in the first 59-mins of the game, Quick's gift wrapped goal, or how FOX butchered an OT NHL playoff game with a meaningless first quarter of an NBA game.

SFMMs bathrooms, they are disgusting. My last visit, I went to the ones at the plaza in between SFMM and HH. I was the first one to use them for the day. 3 out of the 4 stalls had human waste from the previous day in them. 2 out of the 3 sinks had no running water and only 1 of the two paper towel dispensers worked. All of the stalls had graffiti etched into the toilets and the place smelled like a sewer. But hey, this should just be ignored because just steps away there are sooooo many great coasters. Right?

I rode it on the 7th, the only thing not working was the galaxy/black hole projection at the top of Lift 2. And IMO, it should always be off, as it makes the rest of the dome darker.

Full Shootout LA Kings vs the Colorado Avalanche View from my seat last night.
