^^Don't lump us all in with the stupid Ruins. High up in the hills of Westwood Sprawled offensive to the eye Lies a Cal extension campus Known as Westwood High (high high high) Home of all the Bruin bearcubs UGLY is its name The student body's vile The football team's a pile and the campus is a shame! U (clap clap clap) G (clap clap clap) L (clap clap clap) Y (clap clap clap) U G L Y Eat My Shorts! -Joey "

Don't EVER say that again.

Polynesian-Ohana. Nuff said. Grand Californian-comfy chairs in the lobby. Port Orleans (either one)- real nice for being a moderate. Any of the value resorts (I've stayed all All Star Sports, All Star Music, and Pop Century)-WDW transportation+Extra Magic Hours+cheap=awesome!

^Well, technically Walt is already turning in his grave about WDW. EPCOT was supposed to be a city, WDW was supposed to have its own larger airport (it has a 2,000ft STOL runway that is no longer in use), there was supposed to be an industrial park... I bet he's pissed they ended up building all those hotels, theme parks, water parks, the seven seas lagoon, golf courses, entertainment areas, mini golf, etc., etc. instead.

No.

Trey Parker narrated it and made a few cameos. Matt just co-wrote/directed it. -Joey "it's UCS for me...really!" Mandel

That was deep.

If I was the owner of a trampoline that snapped and possibly injured two people...I wouldn't be laughing. Your friends will totally be the new owners of your house if there turns out to be any real injuries.

I'll wait for the Wal Mart version.

*whistles*

Why are we still talking about Coasterbuzz? There's far more important things to be talking about. Like sideboob.

^^^Hey, someone paid attention during his training. Now tell me how to do the 2 train block check. And how many plattens there are (and what they are for). -Joey "ashamed I still know all about RRv" Mandel

Not so much.

^Only if it was shot and edited by you! And only if you paid for the trip. Because that's the only way I'd ever do two things: 1. Visit Holy Land. 2. Hang out with you.

Please make a video of this credit whoring.

^That would have been pretty hard to do considering the bottom of the drop is missing! -Joey "but ripsaw has an awesome manager" Mandel

My park would have an Apollo 13 ride so I could have an excuse to produce a preshow video with Gary Sinease, Bill Paxton, AND Ron Howard.

I hate you guys.

Please make a video.

^I believe the Epcot opening special mentioned more countries coming to the World Showcase, and that still hasn't happened either.

^I might be jaded by the fact I have been to Disneyland so many times, but the main reason I dislike the park is Magic Kingdom has nothing that interests me. In terms of Orlando parks...The only park I have less desire to visit is Animal Kingdom. Strike 1: It's always crowded. Strike 2: The show quality was disappointing. Strike 3: Most of the rides are clones (or real close to it) that I have been on at Disneyland way too many times. Strike 4: The unique attractions it does have are either worse (Space Mountain, Tiki Room, Buzz) or boring to begin with and not good for anything other than a courtesy visit (Stitch, TTA, Hall of Presidents, Autopia, Carousel of Progress...) It's not a bad park by any means...It just feels like Disneyland without the charm to me.

^^Agreed. There's no point in bashing CB. The point is Robb has addressed their BS accusations, so what more does anyone in this thread need to see or say?

From what I gather, HDV has some pros and cons. Obviously the pros are that it is going to shoot higher resolution video. The problem is that it has to record that data in an mpeg2 format to get it all to fit on a DV tape. Without getting too technical, that will make it more prone to motion artifacts. That's the main complaint most people have with HDV. The bottom line is that it definitely does produce a better image if used right. But I would personally just buy a higher quality SD camera for the time being until HDV compression gets better and more people get HDTV sets. Robb: HDV will play back on any TV. However, with regular (4:3) TV's it will be like watching a widescreen movie on a 4:3 set (letterboxed and squished). Oh, and HDCP is lame. But not just limited to Sony. And for the time being, you are still able to output HD through the analog composite connection. When HD-DVD and Bluray players hit the market, then there might be a problem.

I say...if you don't like coasterbuzz, simply don't go there. By going there to read all about what is being said about TPR, Robb, your mom, etc. all you are doing is making more money for Jeff through the ads. It certainly doesn't help prove your point when you are essentially doing the same thing (talking sh*t on another board) over here. Coasterbuzz members can just go over to CB and be like "what a bunch of douches TPR members are, look at them talking sh*t." That's just my two cents.

Just trying to catch up with Wes here... Again, he summed up Magic Kingdom well. Another friend of mine who was in Florida summed up the MK by saying "it's clearly the park Roy built." Pretty much the only things it has better than its Anaheim counterpart is bigger trains, a fullsize castle, a few attractions (peoplemover, jungle cruise, pooh), and the fact it is just a larger park in general. Other than that, the place pretty much sucks. It really doesn't have the charm of the original Disneyland. Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are stuck between old and new themeing. The Toontown area is also halfass (due to the fact it was only supposed to be temporary for Mickey's birthday). The show quality (especially on attractions like Haunted Mansion) was definitely sub-par. -Stiches Encounter still blows (chili=not good). -Space Mountain=Matterhorn in a box (and that's not a good thing!). -Didn't bother to see Cinderellabration. -Everything else is pretty much a clone, and the unique attractions Magic Kingdom does have are fun, but extremely cheesy (Carousel of Progress, Hall of Presidents). -Wishes is definitely an improvement over "Fantasy in the Sky," but I guess I have been spoiled by "Remember...Dreams come true" and "Believe" and didn't think it was THAT great. -Dan got soaked on Splash Mountain. EDIT: I forgot to mention our awesome Autopia experience. I was wearing my USC sweatshirt, and as it turned out...the attendents in the station were all Texas students. Needlessly so say, some taunting ensued. Good thing one of them was hot, or I might have complained. But since one was hot, it was good times. However, there are a couple of things Magic Kingdom has that DLR doesn't that we took advantage of. One of those being the Magic Kingdom resort area. Magic Kingdom gets +10000000000000000000000 points for having Ohana on its Monorail loop. I ended up eating there three times (everyone else did two times). Seriously the most ridiculously awesome restaurant ever. It's a great deal ($30 for a complete meal...drink included) and the food is just amazing. The salad, wings, potatos, steak, pork, and dessert are out of this world. And for those of you who don't know...you get as much as you want! The food just keeps coming! Best. Restaurant. Ever. Dan and I also did something we had never done in our three previous visits: rent the searay boats to cruise around Bay Lake/Seven Seas Lagoon. We have always wondered what River Country looked like, so we figured what better way to find out then to go right up next to it. Dan got a little too close and got stuck in the mud, which was quite funny. He also took all the pictures, so you'll probably see some in a Westcoaster.net update. But anyways...that was a real fun/relaxing way to kill an hour and a half. You can get some good air from other boats wake on those things, and it's always cool to see the resort from a different point of view. The last thing we did that you can't do at Disneyland is the "Magic Behind our Steam Trains" tour. This is what I'll cover in my photo TR, since Wes pretty much took care of the rest and I didn't take a lot of pictures at Magic Kingdom. He also didn't want to wake up at 6AM for the tour, so he doesn't have pictures of the tour. Basically if you have any interest at all in trains, I recommend taking this tour. The tour starts at 7:30AM in the Main Street station. You get to see Main Street completely empty, get introduced to your guide, and learn a little bit about how the train operates (the signals, procedures, etc.). Then it's off to the roundhouse on the Lilly Belle (something guests normally can't do since they only use that train for the park opening show). They pulled the train inside the roundhouse, but for safety reasons we weren't actually allowed to get out inside the roundhouse. The train pulled back out into the yard, then we got out and spent about an hour learning all about the mechanics of the trains. After that, it was time to watch them fire up one of the other engines (the one we would be returning to the park in). The "fireman" gets to hold a ball of fire in his hand and throw it into the boiler! Coolest. Job. Ever. Then we get to watch them do all of their safety checks (testing the equivilant of their e-stop, running a block to see if the train stops, and the extremely loud "popping off" of the boiler) before heading back into the park. The park was now open and we returned to the Main Street Station to hear the story behind the Magic Kingdom railroad. Pretty boring stuff unless you have an interest in trains, so it was cool for me. K...that's long enough, so I'll stop now and upload some photos. That's how Walt would have rolled. The Broggie poking out of the roundhouse. The "controls" for the Roger E. Broggie engine. A view from the train yard. Off to the roundhouse we go. It's Main Street. And it's practically Empty. Craaaazy. It's artsy because it's from the ground AND Jim is standing in the picture! Dan looks so thrilled to be on Splash Mountain
