^Wasn't it just closed for a refurb? Or am I confused? Will be curious to see all the changes at DCA whenever I get out there again. I was not a fan of the park before, but perhaps all the updates will change my mind. And I have to eat at that restaurant! dt

^This is true. dt

If only the whole movie had been as good as it started, it ran out of steam in the last 20 minutes or so. Still pretty amusing, though. dt

The Joey Fatone death scene is among the greatest scenes in film history! dt

we just learned you can kill sharks with a firecracker. This movie is very educational. dt

This has been epic so far! dt

Bumped up to remind people of tonight's epic chat! dt

I would actually buy a coaster shirt if they named it Coaster Man Dumping Waffle... dt

Good luck Larry & Fran! You can do it! dt

BEST RIDE EVER! dt

^Agreed. As long as it's not people standing around a farm doing nothing, it could be entertaining. dt

^Yeah, Mammut was pretty "meh" but I do really like Tripsdrill. dt

OK, besides the awesomeness that JERSEY SHORE SHARK ATTACK will certainly be, check out the full schedule for tomorrow: Supergator Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus Dinoshark Malibu Shark Attack Super Shark Shark Zone Jersey Shore Shark Attack Mega Shark Vs. Crocosaurus Jersey Shore Shark Attack Sharks In Venice I fully suggest not moving away from your television all day tomorrow... dt

Nice report, Larry. And I'm glad you got to stop at The Alewife. That place is amazing. dt

The City Museum is easily the most screwed up yet awesome place I've ever seen. It is really something that everyone should experience at least once in their lives. dt

Duran Duran - Planet Earth dt

^I believe so. I really can't imagine SFMM spending the money for new trains. Just doesn't seem like something they could market enough. dt

I'm not a parade/show person at all, but these are some really good photos. It does look like Universal put some effort into this production. dt

Nice report. I love this park, and wish I got around to visiting it more often. dt

I think the best rain rides I've ever had were Ghostrider (back when it didn't suck. A typhoon wouldn't help it run decently at this point) at the first Solace, and Tonnerre De Zeus. dt

That is indeed a cool looking location for a coaster. dt

Cool report. I really like the Texas parks, even if I thought I was actually going to melt every time I've visited one of them. dt

This needs to be on the official shirt. dt

I've heard from many people that Piranha 3DD is horrible and unwatchable. I'd save my money and watch this epic production instead. dt

Nice report and pictures. Amazed you survived what everyone else is calling a death machine of leg severing hell. Or are perhaps people overreacting? Can't imagine that having on the internet... I have nothing but my own observations to back this up, but to me the drop in quality of ride operations happened at about the same time the water park was installed. It proved to be so popular that people will flock to Hersheypark no matter how bad the operations and food are (and yes, I think Hersheypark has absolutely horrible food). You'd think they'd want to have decent operations, especially on their new coaster. Nine empty seats is really, really bad. dt
