^Is lying on a dating website really something that needs to be some sort of criminal offense? I cannot see why someone would be so traumatized if someone misrepresents their age or whatever that there needs to be criminal penalties. People seriously have devolved into giant babies... dt

This seems, um, not really well thought out on Six Flag's part. dt

This. dt

Great photos. The dragon coaster has been added since I was there, so I'll have to go back. And I too loved the zipline (I kicked a wave!), but I don't think I'd pay to do it again. dt

This coverage has been amazing. Thanks for posting all this stuff! Really liking the idea of the GCI Big Fun. I can see a lot of smaller parks taking advantage of this. The thing that has intrigued me the most, though, was the LoQ software running on an iPhone. This would be amazing, and I really hope something like this happens. Really hoping to hear of their system being added to more parks. I love the Q-Bot! dt

Really like the looks of that Manta car. dt

More photos! S&S had a new kiddie ride - the "MiniHu" which was like a teacup frog hopper! Really fun! Let's check out the outdoor section. TPR is going to try out the Soaring Eagle zipline! Inflatables, ziplines, and more on the Magical Midway! Hooray for the flying Hanno!

And the coverage begins! Be sure to POST YOUR COMMENTS! Theme Park Review's coverage of IAAPA starts... NOW! This is where all the IAAPA magic happens! Robb will be taking lots of video today at IAAPA! We've got our show guide! Ready to roll!

This is pretty cool. Anything that speeds up park entry is something I approve of. I'm sure not having turnstyles saves on equipment costs, plus it likely cuts down on the number of employees at the entrance. Will be curious to see if they roll this out at all the parks. dt

^Likely not Dippin' Dot stands... dt

I watch this show every year (it's a Thanksgiving tradition!), and have thought about going to the event, but there's no way I'd want to deal with that crowd. Thanks for posting! dt

This is the theater where Ice Bat & I will be performing out new show KILLED BY DEATH, where we'll have audience participation in hilarious skits like "Swim With The Rabid Sharks" and "The Lava Is Not That Hot, Trust Me!". Tickets are selling fast! I liked Labadee the time I was there. They've added the alpine coaster since then, so I'll have to check that out some time. The zip line was a lot of fun, and I kicked a wave! That was pretty awesome. dt

^I'm sold! dt

My 50th birthday is four days before this event. I demand cake. dt
