JP and I are planning on attending this year!! So very excited. David

That was an amazing night. I remember when some of the sleeveless locals walked in and we had to pull James out of the bar. I think someone made the comment, "he's gonna get dragged behind a truck!" Thanks for the updates Dave - I love me some Ice Bat (and you're pretty ok too .) David

^ Damned holidays Thanks for taking the time to post these (although snowbound might make that more probable than possible.) David

Totally bummed that my lazy a$$ didn't get to Hard Rock/Freestyle while it was (briefly) open whenever that was. Ghost town in the sky - the little park that couldn't? The Middle America trip had to end (biggest bummer by far ) I am really scared of / disturbed by spinning tower rides so Windseekers, although cool looking, aren't going to be my "thing." USF - Halloween Horror Nights - although epic as always, seems to have hit a plateau. I was expecting more for the 20th anniversary. I think I let myself down with expectation vs. reality there. David

AWESOME MOVIE!!! Yes it is gory as hell, but still amazing. Sarah Brightman as Blind Mag is absolutely brilliant! I love this movie so much I bought it. As far as gore goes, it is from the guy who did the original SAW movie. 'Nuff said. David

On two separate TPR trips, in front of two different GCI's we've seen someone Weave having been blown off. I have pictures, and we even made a little song: "Put your lapbar on my hip and you're weave you're weave will rip!" D

Thanks for the update Kevin! I miss my summer trip again Glad to re-live it through your photos. SDC was also my favorite park of the trip! What a great time....Can't wait till this summer!~

Thanks!

This was probably answered MANY pages back, but I can't remember seeing it. Can someone tell me where the upstop wheels are? I know they have to be there, but cant decipher where they are. David

Just saw a horrorish movie called "Rest Stop" this weekend (netflix.) It was actually a pretty good flick. Kind of gruesome, hopeless and had pretty decent pacing.

^ Now that's an experience I could sink my teeth into. Aliens and stuff lend themselves nicely to a theme park. Even if they are "holy" aliens or whatever.... The arc could have an awesome themed waterslide through or off of it. David

I loved that show! Anywho - the hours and hours of entertainment that this is providing me is wonderful. Job sucks right now, so a little break for some Dipper Hilarity is just what the doctor ordered (if doctors actually ordered such things, that would be cool.) David

If this is what they are doing, sounds great! I guess we will have to wait to find out for sure, but widening the turn sounds reasonable and a bit less Intimidating (excuse the pun) than re-profiling huge sections of the ride. David

^Those are great. The flapper is classy, and the cerial boxes on the Lady Gaga costume have me giggling.

^^ Ichi the Killer!!! Awesome and bizarre flick. It is one of the Masterpieces of Takashi Miike that I spoke of earlier (Audition.) Seriously, if you get the chance, see IMPRINT from the Masters of Horror collection. It is SO OVER THE TOP!

^^ I love this!!!! This smile should last for the next few hours!

In this vein - The Aston Martin Vanquish please! If Santa is feeling poor - a mid-80's Lotus Esprit Turbo would do in a pinch Otherwise - CA$H is king. Home Depot gift cards have replaced all other gift cards on my agenda since buying a century old house. Peace on Earth That's it for me .

^ My only problem with the Panda Express experience at Six Flags is that the line for that is longer than any ride in the park. We go to SFoG every Easter. Little to no waits for everything, except for overpriced, bad, chinese takeout. David "Bitter, party of one" McCollum

Her with the tape over her mouth was AWESOME. I always want to say, "just shut up until you sing sister!"

I totally, TOTALLY enjoyed the Evita number with Kurt and Rachael. "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" was made for them. Also - I absolutely LOVE the Warblers. Enjoyed last night. David

^ My story EXACTLY! I couldn't have put it better myself. As far as gaining weight - although Wes' advice is quite on point - there might be somewhere where it is not the amount you eat but WHAT you eat. Carbs vs. proteins, etc. Just a thought. I used to be in that situation, and am now in kind of the opposite. My mid-30's I ended up at almost 200lbs, which was WAY TOO BIG for me. I now hover between 165 - 175 lbs and am pretty okay there. Just the middle-age spread is really starting to kill off my "inner child."

Sad, but true my friend. Sad, but true.

I just want to interject how much I still love this show. The Warblers version of "teenage dream" made me like the song again, even though it was totally overplayed. Also - I just love the plot swerves and curves this season. I did think the Sue marrying herself storyline to be a bit odd - but Carol Burnette made up for everything!!! David

Great thread! I'll agree to most everything that has been said. There are a ton of variables to consider. I am of the "trains" school. PTC's have done their jobs well over the decades, but with the more maneuvers that the D/S coasters tried, along with the even more agressive designs of Gravity Group, the PTC's just aren't built to do those things. I think they seem to rip the heck out of the track which causes a rougher ride. I don't bash too much on PTC's though, when I think of G-Trains (shudder) David

^ Remember - they are calling it a "Family" coaster rather than a "Kiddie." They used to mean roughly the same thing to me, but the more I go to parks with TPR, the more I learn the difference. This looks like a lot of fun and I look forward to riding it next summer (bearing no problems with construction) on the North East tour! David (wish it could go NINETY- DEGREES) McCollum
