I visited both parks about a month ago (the day after they reopened Pirates). It was busy, but if you maximize your Fastpass you'll do fine. I agree with XII, go immediatly to Space Mountain or Splash Mountain, and get your Fastpass. (These rides will run out of Fastpasses before the others) Don't waste your Fastpasses on BuzzLight Year Etc...(you can only get a Fastpass once every two hours) As for CA Adventure, the crowds were light all day (compared to DisneyLand). These are separate parks, so you can get additional new Fastpasses there as well, just remember CA Adventure closes early. When you ride CA Screamin', I would highly recommend you request the Front Seat, the view is great, and the additional wait is minimal. As for getting your 6 credits, it shouldn't be a problem at all, especially if your staying late. Also, as Robb + Elissa always say.......Arrive Early!!!

^Wow fellow a Rohnert Park resident! When I moved from the east coast to California, that was the first town I lived in. But, here in good old Orange County, CA it's a toasty 105 degrees!

Well lets keep the randomness going..... Did you know that up until about World War II the majority of toothbrushes used Boars Hair for Bristles?

Wow I clicked on the link to CoasterForce and immediately learned that I was selected to receive an X-Box 360! Yes! Then I saw advertisements for AT&T, Rent a cars, Airlines, + Alienware, it went on and on..... In fact all I can recall from my visit, was an endless stream of ad's. (Including Loud Audio Versions!) It reminded me how lucky we are that the Alveys haven't decided to prostitute TPR this way!

The contents in the TPR "bag of crap" is a secret, typically shared among those who have been fortunate enough to receive it. Similar to the mysterious "White Box" the Alveys received from Disney, when they became husband and wife at WDW. (Only the Alveys know the actual contents, and their not telling)

Well I usually talk to either Mr. Twig or Mr. Hat. I often prefer to talk to Mr. Twig, because Mr. Hat is a Two-Timing Whore! Dam you Brett Favre!!! Mr. "South Park" Garrison

Well everyone is going to have their favorites, I have the Japan#5, and it's great! Each volume covers a lot of parks, so just select a region of the world that interests you the most.

^O.K. maliboomer, lets not be misleading by saying it's in Australia, when clearly it's located in Jamaica! I mean the posters name is "dubaidave", that's a colorful metaphor itself. Plus dubaidave is famous for his visit to "Fantazy Land", (which sounds similar to Alice In Wonderland), where I believe he had a very strange trip......

There is a difference between expressing your views thru peaceful means vs. becoming violent. At it's core, I believe that PETA's intentions are honorable, they wish to protect animals from undue suffering and harm. But, whether you agree with it or not animals are going to be slaughtered for food, and that's never going to change. (No matter what PETA does) If PETA wants to make sure that these animals are treated humanly while they're alive, I could completely agree with that, but to say that everyone should follow their beliefs is ridiculous. Sadly, many of PETA's followers as well as leaders (like Dr. Jerry Vlasak) advocate acts of violence against those who don't follow PETA's beliefs. On my local news today there was a story about how members of a PETA affiliate called the Animal Liberation Project, were upset with a local researcher. So to express their dislike of this person did they peacefully demonstrate in front of her office?, uh no.....they decided instead to plant a gasoline bomb on the front doorstep of her home! Luckily the gasoline bomb was discovered before it had the chance to detonate. But, the truely pathetic part of the cowardly act, was that these extremists set up the bomb at the wrong house! The little old lady who lived at this address said that if it had exploded she would have likely been trapped in her house, and could have been burned alive! Anyhow, PETA has the right to express its opinions, but they don't have the right to express their views by pursuing acts of violent retribution against those who don't agree with them.

An earlier Era of Theme Parks, where would you go........ *The Russian Ice-Slides of the 17th century.(They started it all) *Perhaps France in 1817, which featured rides that were locked to a track. *The Roaring Twenties, when you could have visited the first "Electric Parks" *The "Early" Coney Island, where you could have rode a Steeplechase, which featured eight horses, where riders rode side-by-side down a long hill. *Perhaps "Playland" in NY, which was the first early attempt at a "Planned Park". *Or of course the opening of Disneyland in 1955, which Walt Disney himself once stood........ Regardless, people have always shown their willingness to explore the unknown, it's this desire that will keep new generations of individuals visiting Theme Parks for years to come.............

Here in Orange County, CA we hit the 100 degree mark over the weekend! Though good old Death Valley managed to rise to 125 degrees!

A movie where the music flows perfectly throughout the film was Pulp Fiction.

Nice Report, That first photo is great, was the "BJ Brew" a popular drink at the fair?! By the way, who the heck would order a Cup-O'-Noodles Instant Lunch??? Bring on the Deep Fried Goodies! That's one of the great things about the Orange County Fair (Currently Open), they deep fry everything from Twinkies to Snickers. For the vegetable crowd, they deep fry Avocados, Olives, and Asparagus.

Nice Trip Report, Well I bet that Derek will be Barry's Poster Child this week for the Caption Game. That picture of him "Swallowing" the bottle is just the kind of photo he likes to post!

The Hawaiian Box Lunch is tasty! I'll have to go an visit my local L+L Hawaiian BBQ. SPAM is always on the menu.

So like OMG, why don't you tell us something about this famous (at least to you) person. I looked up his name on IMDB, and I found a director with that name who made a film last year called......Fatboy: The Movie! Is this your guy???

He's preparing to sacrifice a Virgin to the Water Coaster Gods.

Ah-ah, I know what you're thinking, "Did he fire six shots or only five?" And to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum - the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?! Clint Eastwood - Legendary Gunslinger

I heard on the news on Thursday that it's suppose to reach 105 degrees in Valencia this Saturday! What do you guys do to fight that heat?! Dang!!!

Hey Golfie, If you enjoyed the movie, then goto www.askaninja.com and click on his video review......Special Delivery #7 "Pirates of the Carribbean" It's really funny!

^So Jamez, If I read your post correctly, you are still married to your "first" wife, and yet even though your currently married, your ready to end that marriage and get married to wife number two? Does that make your soon-to-be-wife the "other" women??? Dang, talk about zero down time between marriages! You obviously got married to young the first time around, but sadly most second marriages have a higher divorce rate than the first. Let's hope that you have been seeing you're soon-to-be-wife number two, for longer than at least a year (even though you're currently married) because divorce sucks for everyone, especially if you have kids....Which I prey you don't. If I seem harsh, it's in regards to you're "oh well" attitude towards endings ones martial vows.....

I'm curious Sue, was this the first marriage for you and your husband? I ask, because I've heard of people (usually relatives) who may feel obligated to attend your second marriage, but they didn't feel the same need to give you another wedding gift the "second" time around. Obviously, the majority of people who don't support a couples martial vows usually won't attend altogether, but there are exceptions. It's sort of like a bride who's parents may have helped pay for the first wedding, but may not be willing to provide any financial support for her second one.

I have to cast my vote for IOA!!! This amazing Theme Park has a great mix of rides and attractions! Don't miss out! You will not be disappointed with with IOA has to offer!!!

....

I believe that Elissa stated on another post, that IOA had more than enough room for a major coaster or other major attraction. She gave examples of other tightly packed theme parks that have managed to maximize the use of the space that is available to them.
