Shalom!

And it's really not "theirs". US Thrill Rides licenses it to them. http://www.usthrillrides.com/products/unicoaster Might as well be theirs. Seems like US Thrill Rides is only in the business of "licensing" (selling) designs to companies. It's as if Chance just subcontracted them.

How long has Uncle Bernies been around in Miami? I say good for him. He's got all these rides in storage, might as well try to make something off of some of them.

I never even knew they had the camping area. Looks very cool!

Manufacturers custom skin=bloatware to sell you more crap. It's both a blessing and a curse android is open source. Since Google is really only interested in getting user data/selling mobile ads, they aren't too concerned with controlling the OS. So manufacturers/carriers are slow to update the phones in order to put all their custom junk/extra apps you don't want on there. Thankfully on the flip side, android has a huge hacking community. My original, 2 year old Droid is running the newest version of Gingerbread and overclocked to 1gHz thanks to a 3rd party mod. Motorola/Verizon never bothered to update it past version 2.2. '

The spinning coaster there was by far the most intense one I have ever been on. I was very disappointed that it didn't spin nearly as much for Elissa as it did for Robb and I!

The only new Chance ride I can think of in the last few years is that they sold a few of those "unicoaster" flat rides. I'm guessing they've sold a few of the KMG fireballs in the U.S. as well. One thing I didn't know until looking at their website, it looks like they sell (maybe manufacture in the U.S.?) Vekoma roller skater and junior suspended coasters too!

Yes, very much so. Last Saturday before Halloween is typically one of the busiest nights.

Busch Gardens Bash looks like it was a great event. I will definitely have to make sure I can stay an extra day for it next year@!

^^Eagle Fortress was WAY better. I only got to ride Big Bad Wolf before I was even really into coasters (in fact, I was actually still quite scared of them) on my 8th grade class trip to DC, and it didn't even do anything for me back then. I actually remember telling my friend, "that was just Ninja with a bigger drop...lets go ride one of the bigger ones."

Log Jammer typically stays open year-round. Jet Stream gets reduced hours and Roaring Rapids closes during off-peak.

Anyone ever seen the movies "Blank Check" and "Richie Rich?" I would totally buy a house that combines all the stuff they had: go kart track, waterslide from bedroom to pool, roller coaster (a good one), and a McDonalds inside the house.

^Not everyone has that flexibility in their schedule. Thanks to CP's horrible rain policies, I ended up missing the opportunity to go to Geauga Lake because I needed a second day at Cedar Point to get all the credits. A VIP pass certainly would have helped me.

I've always wanted to do the Richard Petty experience thing...being able to drive fancy cars just makes it all that more tempting!

I held off on the 4s for one reason: no LTE. The hardware/software support is top-notch, no doubt about that. Though I will say that where Android manufacturers drop the ball, thanks to the (mostly) Android Open Source Project, 3rd party developers/hackers pick up the slack with OS upgrades. My original droid still runs great thanks to a 3rd party (cyanogen mod) putting out a great rom to run on my phone.

^Come to Hollywood instead!

That's interesting that they could have gotten another star if they had butlers. The hotels at Europa are all incredible!

The press release also has what appears to be a screen grab from the ride film. Ride scene?

Went to haunt tonight. Couple of quick observations: -I'm glad shaker cans are gone, but they have now been replaced with slider gloves. Most of the monsters just hit the walls for scares. I didn't see lots of over the top effort anywhere. -I didn't think the Hanging was as great as people were hyping it to be, but I do think that when it was on, it was really on. The musical numbers were great, as was the 127 hours dude being stuck the whole show. But I was bummed they didn't have a real good Disney park joke like they usually do, nor did I like the Arnold maid segment. -Virus Z was my favorite: good sets and talent that actually was trying. -Terror of London gets my vote for worst maze. The layout of the Mystery Lodge mazes are always so long with not enough talent to fill it. Not only that, the talent inside seriously didn't try at all. Mostly just stood there and stared, or waved a prop in my face. -Endgames looked great, but I felt like it couldn't make up its mind as to what the story really was. A saw rip off? A post-apocalyptic maze similar to Underground? The soundtrack gets you pumped up for a high energy maze, but then you don't really get that. Probably the nicest looking maze this year though. -Delirium also looked great. Talent was doing good selling the drug trip/crazyness theme of the maze.

If I am SFMM's GM, cleaning up the area underneath scream is probably about the 1000th thing on my to do list. That is money much better off being spent upgrading infrastructure, staffing rides, rehabbing rides, etc.

The cash bar was one of the best parts of the tour! Great bartender and cheaper prices than in the park! Renee and Allison being scared by everything was quite amusing too.

I really loved Movieland when we visited in 2005. Does the Rambo show still feature guests from the audience being held hostage?

Chicks dig the slap shot.

^^That seems right. The one in Orlando didn't really follow the plot of the movie, aside from having costumes that match the Thing. The one in Hollywood was a much closer match to the story of the movie.

I was indifferent to it. I liked the thing costumes and the ending scene. The chainlink fence scarezone on the other hand...
