It definitely does, thanks guys!

So something that has been bugging me, and I don't know if it's something on my end or your end, but the Main text seems to look a bit harsher (not as smooth with the white font) in the new site then what I can see on this old on. Please see attached image. the old site is to the left and the new one is to the right, it's only slightly different and something I can get used to, but it just looks "off" to me. I'm using Opera 10.10 on Windows 7 at 1366 X 768 resolution. Old to the left, new to the right. The image was taken using both windows at half screen hence the squish of the old.

Universal Studios Hollywood is a very interesting Park if you actually look at it as it is a movie studio with some rides unlike Orlando. Glad you had a good time though. Congrats to the two of you as well! I hope there are pictures to get verklempt over, and I can't wait for the rest of the pics in general.

lol I should not be allowed to post things on the internet sometimes! Hope they enjoy my response.

Looks like you guys had a FANTASTIC time! But I would expect nothing less from that group. And props to Elissa for planning the whole thing as a surprise to you!

I think they realize how many people will come to visit the parks and are adjusting there prices accordingly. Don't underestimate the power of the Harry Potter fiends.

^It's making me actually watch so I guess no real harm done. Anyway, Gawker is doing an amazing job getting all the jokes and discussion about this from across the board as they happen each night. Jan 15, Jan 14, Jan 13.

"Working" with Intamin could be something as simple as working out the logistics of taking off the Superman figure at the top of the tower. Just keep that in mind.

Not sure about the other Cedar Fair parks, but every Halloween for Halloweekends (At least since 2003 -2005 when I worked at the park), Cedar Point has had a kids walk-through called the Magical House on Boo Hill they put in the Bumper cars, so to me it has a cute tie in. Of course "Boo Blasters" could have been a worked on a little better...

The website only lists one actual weight restriction and that is a rock climbing attraction. All the others just say "Weight restrictions may apply. (Please refer to our park guide map for details)" Funny enough, when Stealth opened at what was then Paramount's Great America, it actually had a "weight restriction" of 240 pounds which was less of an actual restriction, and more of a guideline for being too large to be safely restrained. Maybe that's what they mean here too? *shrug*

Yeah Finn singing to me is meh. And in case you guys didn't know, Glee was picked up for a second season, (not to be confused with the second half of the first season playing starting in April) starting this fall and they are having open casting calls for new people starting next month. (source) including a link to the website where you can submit your own audition video.

I'm not voting in the poll since I think using "Team blah vs Team blech" is literally mentally retarded, but I favor Conan moving to a new channel (*cough*Fox*cough*) that will let him get back to his older more outrages humor that he had when he was on at a later time slot against Leno who I think has become pretty stale.

one. Were you actually surprised? two. Holy Smokes you are looking AMAZING!

Here are about 20 of my favorites that I've taken, I'm sure there are more that I haven't found yet, but this is a good start lol. Little background on the first three, in 2003 I worked at Cedar Point at Power Tower. Toward the end of the year, they were nice enough to put the ride into Maintenance mode for us and let us take our cameras on. And if I had to pick one, it would be this one of Talocan @ Phantasialand Tizona in it's old location @ Terra Mitica Dragon Kahn @ Port Aventura Abismo @ Parque de Atracciones de Madrid Dragster at Dusk Disneyland Halloween decoration Winjas @ Phantasialand Knott's Berry Farm Inside the former queue of Dueling Dragons. Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls Same. Toward the end of 2004 I became a Captain on Paddlewheel Excursions and back when it was open during Halloweekends, we had a lot of time on our hands. Giant Wheel Mean Streak Mantis Raptor Can only be seen in the control room, a shot looking straight up the shaft. You get great views from up here. Do not try this at home kids.

OK, so here is the logo I made the other day, unfortunately I also just upgraded to Windows 7, so it may be a bit before I get all my programs back. Oh well, hope some likes it. 75X75 version of it. 500 X 500 version of it.

I'm looking forward to seeing more progress, they seem to be flying with construction though!

^That would be NEXT Monday, the 18 as stated in the first post. You have 10 more days. Made another random logo, still working on how to make a card I actually like lol. Seems theres something amiss with the FTP settings, I keep getting this error "Could not access ftp directory: '/public_html/forum/files'. Please check your FTP Settings. " Hopefully it'll be fixed when I get back on later today and can upload the image.

^Exactly what I was thinking, this is like watching a video on how to make Jello.

Be gentle, this is only the second logo I've ever made. Any tips for me? I'm learning photoshop as I go along and I think it came out quite nice. I'll try taking a stab at an actual card tomorrow. Bigger version of it. The small version of it

Speaking of the Green Day American Idiot musical, Green Day re-rerecorded 21 Guns with the cast (apparently there are two versions, one with Billy Joe Armstrong singing a verse and another with John Gallagher Jr. who originated the role of Moritz Stiefel in Spring Awakening) which the former of you can hear here. I've been listening to it a lot since it came out last month, great stuff.

You know what could work well, if SFMM wants you to see all of the pre-shows for the full Terminator® Salvation™: The Ride experience, I would love to see them combine the three of the videos in the first room and leave the second two for queue build up on slower days. Maybe even adding some queue rails in the larger third pre-show room to allow more people to wait. It would allow having more people directly waiting for the trains without really killing any of the mood and without the gap in the videos of having to move rooms, it would go a little bit faster. While yes, you would still have gaps and would still probably have empty trains on the really slow days, I don't think it would be nearly as bad as you could shuffle people through a little faster only having to deal with stopping them once in one room and not really having to wait for the next room to clear up.

HAHA I love these kinds of videos, they always make me smile, but I do have say someone but it's still a fun watch. Thanks for putting in the effort in making this!

^And the creepy guys still troll retail stores as soon as they open for the more rare ones to sell one e-Bay. Ugh I hate hardcore toy collectors. As for the Real World, I watched Boston, Seattle, Hawaii and New Orleans then it just kinda fizzled out for me, Back to New York's cast didn't interest me and I haven't watched since. I miss the original Road Rules where they had an RV and had to travel to the challenges, none of this crappy "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" crap they have on now. I guess that's why I enjoy Amazing Race when i remember it's on lol.

Disneyland always hits full park capacity on NYE in the afternoon (that's a hell of a LOT of people) and Knott's also throws a NYE party with live bands. Universal has a free NYE event in CityWalk, so SFMM has plenty of competition for this type of event. And I'm sure this is why I'm sure last year wasn't as large since no one knew what to expect from the park, and I can only see this continuing to grow over the years.

What happened to the Ferrari? Since you guys are super rich from this site and all.
