Just signed up for Team TPR at Knott's.
Last year was quite fun.
A donation of 15 dollars was donated to your page.
Thanks very much!

Outside of Universal Studios Hollywood, just around the corner is an excellent Italian restaurant, Miceli's.
Just North of Universal, on Lankershim Blvd. - or one Red Line Subway stop away, near North Hollywood Station is an excellent bar- the Federal Bar- they've got beer floats that are excellent, and really good food, too.

I never got motion sickness on Jaguar, but my spine and legs really started to hurt. It's not a very comfortable ride to marathon.
-
Another benefit: no getting splashed when walking TO the park. I hated walking by when someone was going down the drop.
That was my favorite part of riding Venom Drop, my fatass would splash people pretty badly on the walkway

For parks, definitely Central Florida - give me Busch Gardens for coasters, EPCOT for booze and beautiful locations, and I'm all set.
I'm with Guy for airports in California, though - Bob Hope is awesome - I can take a train to/from my house there, and I've never waited more than about 10 minutes at baggage claim on the way back.

Thanks Robb for throwing another great event - the morning tour of the log ride and the special ride through the Calico mine with Eric was worth the price of admission, and the ERT was just super delicious gravy.

We were handing out promotional coupons at the tollbooths in 1996 when I worked there.

Good ole Traction Park.
The scariness of rides there was because there was real danger involved.
-
It has been running this summer, I went through last week. It has been closed a few times when trams were redirected.

The Mummy's Tomb, AKA Dante's Peak, AKA The Ice Tunnel closes for good September 3 - replacement will be announced soon.

I'll be a little less diplomatic "How in the name of ever lovin' Jesus Mother Effing Christ would earthquake standards have anything to do with trackless rides?!?"
The only thing keeping trackless rides out of California, would be COLD HARD CASH! Nobody's put up the dough, so nobody gets one.

I think they're building the world's tallest, fastest Waffle House.

We all know Guy's Halloween costume for this year now.

Although the enthusiast community is small they are delusional. I know people ask me all the time for advice. If you piss off the enthusiast community you lose nothing but stained shirts and complaints about the lengths of seatbelts.
Fixed.

Mantis at Cedar Point. Mean Streak is boring, Mantis is brutal.

One less person in line would be great.

Ninja at SFMM today.

Absolutely had a blast on Full Throttle - It feels kind of like the bastard kid of Mr. Freeze and Orlando's Mummy. Better in the back - especially the weird sideways hanging bit after the backwards launch. The hangtime in the loop going forward is indescribably cool - you can really feel the train hanging on the upstops, and it feels like you're upside down longer than you'd imagine from just watching.
I don't miss Log Jammer one bit - I rode it maybe twice in the last ten years. I'll be running to ride Full Throttle every morning I can. It'll be interesting to see at night with the area lights, too.
Here's a few cellphone pics-
Hopefully the station gets a cover, soon.
Backwards Twisty!
Zoomin' across Superman Plaza
I really enjoyed this ride a lot more than I thought I would.

Tony McEwing didn't get to ride...
Tony McEwing @Tonysuniverse 16m@CoasterMatt didn't get to ride it. Bureaucratic holdup from Sacramento.

I think most of the 'Ice Queen' comments are from guys who are awkward around women in general. She's not super outgoing, but she's an intelligent, hard working person.
-
Yeah, Fearplex last year we felt bad for the talent. Instead of Universal's piped in smells, they had mazes in the actual animal pen area... WATCH WHERE YOU STEP!
-
Yeah, in Vegas, I wouldn't even get excited if track was being lifted in to place - how many projects are sitting half built already?

World's First Mega Roller Skater, in a box! Fire effects created by a specially trained herd of goats, igniting their farts as the trains roll by. They're really expensive goats.
