I'm sure it'll take all of an hour to remove all the 'theming' from the Six Flags parks.
-
So far, we've done Horror Nights at USH 5 nights (including employee preview), Haunt at Knott's once (we'll do it again Halloween night), Nightmare at Fairplex (LAME), Dark Harbor at Queen Mary (we'll be going back again this Saturday). Probably gonna squeeze in a visit to the haunted mazes down the street from us at Pierce College.

I thought Raging Wolf Bobs had already been demolished the last time I rode it...

I just got home from work, and a TPR BAG OF CRAP ARRIVED!!!
An awesome pen! Some kind of mint (I hope to God that's what it was, cuz I fed it to the neighbor kid)
Maps from cool places around the world, and even some less cool places around the world.
A really keen manila envelope I can use for all sorts of nefarious purposes.
Thanks kindly,
Matt

I'm in one of those cars in that promo shot! (second row, teal shirt)
They used that same shot for McDonald's trayliner ads, and in Time Magazine that year.

Dear Six Flags, Please make the Rattler next.
When I first heard about how this project was being done, that was the first coaster that came to mind that should get this treatment next. I'll never forget how INSANE Rattler was the first time I rode it during it's inaugural season.

Mean Streak is just boring, which is ridiculous for a ride that size. As for Ghostrider, I'd rather see it knocked down completely- a lot of the issues that it faces, and many other CCI built coasters as well, have to do with cost cutting decisions made during the initial design and construction.

I went through it yesterday afternoon. Pretty solid addition to the Studio Tour, but bear in mind, they are still working on the traffic flow out on the lot, so you may have to wait a few trams before going in- we had a 3 tram backup yesterday afternoon, but our guide did a good job at keeping things fun.
Also, anybody with a fear of spiders, you might want to close your eyes for this

Sure sounds like "Virus Z" is to "Quarantine" as "Flight Deck" is to "Top Gun"...
-
That reminds me of Videopolis.
-
If you think the ads suck, wait till you see the "attraction". Just kidding- it's a great 3D movie, but that's it- there are plenty of guests already asking if the King Kong "ride" is open yet. If you tell them it isn't the big robot monkey from before, they get a bit disappointed.
-
It looks like they might be using a color scheme more similiar to the original Matterhorn Bobsled cars, too (Pre 1978).
-
That stage still rises up from underground.

Thank you so much for these updates. I really miss Santa Cruz, maybe this summer I'll finally get back?
-
Screw that- They should put Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in Downtown Disney!
-
I'd love to see Deluge at SFHH- It would be a great addition to the ride lineup.
-
Paint it shiny gold, put dollar signs all over the place, and market it as "The World's Most Expensive Kiddie Coaster!" - make a big statement about how insurance companies are milking California business dry (and contributing to their failure and/or leaving of the state).
They could have media day for the ride be a BIG political statement, as well as a great way to make some strong ties with state/local government for Six Flags.

^Sure thing, Robb. I won't rest until there's an Uncle Remus AA in every Splash Mountain
-
Even if I'm almost never able to attend events anymore, I'd give you guys $40 a year just for running an awesome site.
-
If there's a backstage tour of Calico Mine Ride, I'll DEFINITELY be there.
-
I absolutely HAVE to be on the TPR Party Bus!! I can get away from work, and I don't have to miss a car payment to afford this one
-
If I get my requested days off, I'll be at Disneyland (for the 12th year in a row).
-
That pic looks like a pin trader did a cannonball from the side of Fun Wheel into the bay...
-
The Empty Grave is at GardenWalk, just a block east of Disneyland.
Make sure you print out the coupon from their website to save a few bucks - it's a pretty well done attraction.
Robb, Elissa & KT - Santa Clarita Food Truck Festival!
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

One of my favorite trucks is Get Your Lardon! - The Bacon Truck.
They've got bacon tacos, where the shell is made of strips of bacon, and it's filled with potatoes, cheddar and served with a side of bacon horseradish/sour cream mix.
