Wait a minute...they pay people at SFMM?!?!? As for me... http://www.themeparkreview.com/wcs03/solace10.jpg Lets see, what else? S:TE guide wheel B:TR and RRv concept art posters Broken Freefall sign Jet Stream flutter valve USH tram tour, collapsing bridge, and soon to add a HHN poster to that Some Bolts from Tidal Wave/Greased Lightning @ PGA SFMM employee belt from the 70's And some other random crap!

Universal.

You rode Minor Mike? Didn't they JUST do a Dateline special on that sort of thing? Shame on you!!

Zak, you left out the best fact of all: On the PLC, Z-force is crossed out with a grease pencil and flashback is written under it (also with a grease pencil)!

...In one serving!

Sorry...couldn't resist. Thanks Jim and Wes!

SFMM actually welded little handles on the back of the spine in some areas to allow maintenance people to climb on the ride easier. If they don't use those, they use a cherry picker.

Prepare to melt.

It's still a ride system from 1959. The only difference is they are putting animatronics and projections in a box underwater. How very exciting...Or not.

How much of that was thrown at me?

Stay at a hotel in the Magic Kingdom Resort area if you really want the best transportation options.

I hate you. I hope you get beaten Rodney King style by those furry hat guys! And you can DIE too.

New color or not, I can already feel the pain! And there is still 7 months till I visit...

At least you have a batflyer credit...

Tippman's should never be allowed on speedball fields.

I have heard from a couple of different people that Lost Continent was originally thought of for Animal Kingdom before it eventually ended up at IoA. Don't know if that is really true, but it wouldn't suprise me at all. WDI was laying off people like crazy during the same time IoA was in the design/construction phases of its life...

Actually...you are kidding. You just might not have known it. While I wouldn't suggest using Avid programs unless you're looking to make a living as an editor (it's by far the most complicated of the major editing platforms), Avid Xpress DV is only $300.

I actually enjoyed the whole bookie gag. As far as the episode goes? Ehh..wasn't the best, but it happens. You have to feed the dog (FOX) a bone (episode centered around a football superstar the week before the Super Bowl) every now and then if you want to keep the checks coming.

You're too good for WDI for exactly those reasons! But I do agree that the most overlooked part of ride design is the operations aspect. Designers just kind of say "here's what we're going to do, deal with it" instead of working closer with park operations departments. That leads to things like confusing queues (or queues that are too big or small for the attraction), lots of stupid downtime, and plenty of other headaches for guests and operations that are overlooked during the design process.

Monsters Inc. in Tomorrowland?? Sounds like it an interesting ride concept though.

holy beejubus that would be an expensive project. But cool none-the-less.

All I can think of is the South Park episode with the hippie jam band festival...

Mary Janes eh? Tsk.

Circus Circus is AWFUL. Worst. Hotel. Ever. I'd rather stay Downtown!!

Robb just farted on me.
