Sir Clinksalot

I am terrified of flying. I flew last week and there was so much turbulance. It really freaked me out. I have always been scared of heights but have gotten much better.

Better than what? Six Flags Over Texas is my favorite of the 5 Six Flags parks I have been to. (SFMM, SFAW, SFFT, SFOT, SFOG). IMO SFOT, SFOG and SFFT are very close. If SFFT had a couple of more rides it would certainly be #1. Six Flags Over Texas was the one park I wished we had more time at on our trip last year. It was pretty well run and had some very cool rides. Mr. Freeze, TX Giant, Judge Roy Scream and Superman: Tower of Power are all awesome. Even their Boomerang wasn't that bad IMO. The only ride where I had an issue with the camera was Mr. Freeze. Everything else was okay. Have fun.

I'm scared of this:

Start off I will post the title of a movie, the next poster posts their favorite line from that movie, then provides the title of another movie, and it keeps going like that. If a movie is repeated and you have already posted your favorite line, you can then post another line in that movie that you particuraly like. Ok so let's see how this thread turns out Here is an example: Okay, so the first movie is: Monty Python and the Holy Grail ...

More than I used to ... not as much as I should.

Why won't these rumors ever go away? Along with the Trolls who started them and continue to tell them.

I actually really like Hurricane Harbor. It's a fun park. The only other Water Parks I have been to are Raging Waters, San Dimas (Last time was about 12 years ago), Wild Rivers, Irvine (Last time was about 15 years ago) and Schlitterbahn. Looking forward to maybe visiting some more waterparks this year.

^ Yes ... it's really that bad ... Sorry. Good luck on your trip though. Maybe an east coast member has a car they will rent you for the month for $1000 or something. If you were doing the West Coast I would rent you one of ours for that price.

Smart move on their part IMO. Remember, there is a whole group of 13 year old girls just waiting to go crazy all over the backside ... er ... backstreet boys again. Since Britney's a bigger ho than Christina at this point, I think it's a good thing. Gregg "Will probably have to take our daughter to at least one teenie-bopper concert in my lifetime" C.

NES SNES (gonna beat Donkey Kong Country one of these days) Playstation (just picked up the old Ape Escape! Happiness!) Sega Genesis (um, collecting dust) Sega Saturn (and I STILL play Nights into Dreams!) X-Box (all of five days old. As I type this (at work), I can sense Karen practicing Halo 2. Deathmatches are gonna get a whole lot nastier soon). I need to pick up a PS2 soon (Taiko Master! I fell in love with that game at X-S in Orlando!). Heck, I already have three or four games for it (old roommate)

A hand puppet on a rollercoaster. Brilliant! Good job by everyone (had to be said). Question for the moderators: each week are the previous week's five entries going to be removed, or will there eventually be 40 videos up on the site (if so, who should we make cheques for bandwidth donations to?). //downloaded all five of 'em. Trying to conserve TPR's space on the internets. ///dammit, why didn't i think of a hand puppet?

I can't believe Gregg didn't tell me about this! I put XL for comfort and you know we would have to get some for the kids as well. Kristi

I'm torn. I think the number one problem with Islands only is that the walkways there seem a lot smaller in areas. With Islands, you're going to lose the parade which is quite enjoyable. But when I think back to how wonderfully immersive HHN 12 was (where each island retained parts of its normal daytime theming, such as having the villains taking over Superhero Island), I have to agree that last year was lacking on many fronts (and where the &^)# was the foam last year?!?). So honestly I don't care which way they go with it, I just hope it's more consistently good, as opposed to having all the dead zones where nothing's going on (oh, and specially designated Scare Zones? LAME. You should never know when that guy with a chainsaw is gonna be coming at you).

Last year Islands closed a bit earlier than the Studios as well. Since the only entrance was at Islands, there was more to set up and they assumed that it would take longer for folks to get around to the Studios side (which really ticked off folks like me who opted to camp at Captain America's Diner to get a head start - we couldn't go past Point of Entry for at least a good 45 minutes to an hour (which of course meant lots of rides on Hulk with no waiting)). While I think last year was a little convoluted, I certainly hope they keep the two park thing going. Having the parade back last year was a nice surprise (and you KNOW they're going to want to do something with the Fear Factor area).

File not working

First of all ... If I don't feel safe in a restraint I won't ride the ride. I think the most comfortable are good ol' schwartzkopf lap bars. I do like the restraints on the B&M Flyers as well.

This even made the Atlanta news last week. I was like ... WTF?

Thanks for the info, Elissa. I guess I missed the other threads where this came up, otherwise I wouldn't have made you repeat yourself. End of threadjack

Barry, it's possible I can meet you for the first 2 hours of park operation. I would have to leave by 12:30. But would love to say howdy!!! Gregg "A week in Georgia and I'm now saying "Howdy"" C.

Two things: A. Robb, thanks for inserting the paragraph breaks. The TR, while nice and thorough, was a bit hard to read - my eyes kept skipping lines. That could be attributed to the fact that I'm an idiot. B. Anyone care to explain what the difference is in a standard QBot vs. a Gold QBot?

We were there yesterday and got on Superman 3 times, GASM, Cyclone, and Acrophobia twice. All other coasters except for Deja Vu and Canyon Blaster. We were only there from 10am - 12pm and them from 3pm - 8pm. I didn't think it was that crowded. Look for a complete TR and photo's later.

Reckon I oughta. I guess we've always gotten lucky as far as crowds go, so I'm probably WAY too accustomed to waiting no more than 10 minutes for anything. I can't think of a single ride in existence that could possibly justify a two and a half hour wait. At least you get a coupon for the Q-Bot thing when you buy season passes. Even if we don't make it back this season (though I suspect we will), it'll be worth the additional green.
