There was a time when Ryan Seacrest would literally have to beg people to get on local morning news television here in LA. I hope Sanjaya wins so that time can come again. And I don't even watch American Idol.

I remember those missles from my last visit in 2003?

All it did to USH was cause lots of people to stop on the tram bridge or the second starway landing and block the pathways as they looked at the fire.

I'm totally protesting the Final 4 this year. How the hell am I supposed to choose between UCLA and Florida? UCLA...is, well...UCLA. And I'm pretty sure I get the point that all of Florida's starting 5 came back and they're so cool because they room together and are supposedly too awesome for any other school to possibly have a chance against them, so I really don't want to have to hear any more of that from the media either! Go...Georgetown? Ohio State gets -5000 for the endless Greg Oden hype. So Georgetown it is I guess.

Ahhh...Microsoft, how I love thee. "Pay all over again for the stuff we should have included with the first one and/or screwed up the first time!"

Less costumes, more female face characters. That is all.

Tip #1: Check out of Excalibur immediately and stay at a nicer hotel.

Making the huge assumption that this rumor is true, that is exactly why they would want to build and operate the park in a "botique" manner. To say "hey...this is not your normal theme park experience, that's why you should spend your money here!" But I highly, highly, highly, highly, doubt the rumor is true.

I bet the fire marshall would love to see that exit sign picture. Way to go SFMM!

It's just like the movie Twins!

There should be an option for "this is the most ridiculous question ever". I would say just not to smile if it is going to cut your mouth.

^If by piecemeal, you mean that Marvel was smart enough to not sell all the rights to one studio, then you would be correct. It's basically a case of who will pay the most for each property, with studios snapping up whatever they could after the success of the first Spiderman movie...

Why would it have been intentional?

^Why is that?

^^^^^So you tried to sell your wagon, eh? ^^^So I see they're still dancing around the one item that is expensive to fix: the neon lights against the back wall. Progress is better than nothing, but fixing that scanner light is nothing new. They fixed it 3 years ago too. Lets see if they fix it right away the next time it goes out...

Dead cord=happy rest of us. No Ryan video TR's.

It's not a timeless classic anymore with that ridiculous final scene... And Disneyland gets -5000000 points until they fix the front gate department! No guests without bags line and the lines to enter DL after DCA closes are always ridiculously long (you think they would have figured it out by now...). Sorry Jahan. Wait, no I'm not.

Parks really just can't win with enthusiasts. Everyone freaks out when a park closes, yet also freaks out when a park is doing things to stay in business. Money to cover operating expenses/make a profit doesn't just magically show up in the parks bank accounts. Sure these "line cutting" systems add to the wait time, but when looking at the grand scheme of the things from the parks point of view: an extra 5-15 minutes of wait time is a fair trade off for the revenue. Guests expect to wait in line at a theme park; It's not like they close the ride down between 12pm-2pm exclusively for (insert premium line cutting system here). Not to mention the fact parks have built in "checks" such as limiting sales and scheduling ride times to help prevent any one ride from being over loaded by premium line cutting people. Lets say you're the GM of a park: do you turn down the extra cash because you want slighty shorter lines? I bet everyone saying these systems suck would glady use them if they could justify the expense. Hell, anyone who has ever gone to a coaster event with ERT has essentially done the same thing. Aren't coaster events a perk not offered to everyone? But anyways...back to the topic at hand: good for Six Flags. Contrary to what everyone wants to believe, there is a big market out there for this. Put yourself in the shoes of a high income "GP" family. You know as well as I do that your kid will at some point probably be blown away by all the marketing hype of a Six Flags park's coaster collection and want to go. Do you want a hassle free day with everything included and no waiting at all, or do you save a few dollars and buy flashpasses (and still have to wait in shorter lines), still have to wait in line for food, wait to meet a character, etc. The answer is simple: if you can afford the $249, you're doing that! That's who Six Flags is targeting. Not enthusiasts or the average family. Hell, if I was in a situation where I could afford to spend $249 on a Six Flags park...I'd totally go this route. That, to me, would be a small price to pay to basically avoid all the hassles we give SF parks sh*t for. It's like having your own private coaster event for the day.

I thought the movie sucked.....NOOOT! I've never laughed so hard during a movie before.

^Leave it to ACE to spend $7000 on a pointless sign.

^They don't even do guest surveys at Knott's...of course they didn't focus test the new name!

It's a perfect it. Great America already lost most of its themeing/charm and the operations were already pretty bad.

That is actually impressive by SFMM standards. But as I've said before, the key will be to see if this lasts now that daily operation will be starting up for spring break. It's great that they're working to improve the look of the park, but will they maintain it? That's the key. There's no point in painting a ride if you are just going to let it sit and fade away for another 20 years. I personally doubt it, but I hope I'm wrong. I also think it's funny the uniforms have changed like 4 times since I have worked there, but the nametags haven't.

I won it at the solace 2002 hotel package reception. I don't even know where it is anymore.
