Considering the Padres would be last in the NL East, I'd say the Padres blow.

It depends on when you are going...the 134-170 route will actually be less congested if you are driving on a weekday in the morning.... Hell, you could even go 5-134-170-5-118 and take a surface street from the 118... -

^^I'm sorry. Colossus is totally a reject major ride. PS: I'm guessing the 4718 is symbolic of a certain office # @ SFMM? -

If you are planning to meet in Calico Square during the Hanging, I would suggest an exact location since it gets REALLY crowded in that area. -
Theme Park Review's SFMM & DVD Premiere Party!
Jew replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Here's my review: Die. -
^Without getting all technical...When you "format" your video to a codec that *IS* a native editing format (like AVI)...you're actually losing quality since you have to recompress already compressed footage. Basically, Mpeg-2 is a way to make higher quality codecs (scanned film can take up to like a gig for every second of footage!) fit on a DVD and still look decent. It's not meant to be the recording codec to start with.

Well, if none of their parks added anything, revenue would fall even more...It's all about being smart with your money (Hurricane Harbor @ SFGAm for example). I would imagine that Six Flags and the city of Vallejo have some sort of agreement that mandates SF invest X amount of money into the park (similar to the operating agreements they have with the SFoT and SFoG partnerships), and any addition is a result of that. I wouldn't get your hopes up that this is anything big though...

^Yeah...but you're camera records mpeg-2 video! No offense to you, but I definitely would not recommend any camera that records in an mpeg-2 format. Simply put, mpeg-2 is a delivery format (it's the format used for DVD's) that isn't ideal as a recording format. I would recommend any Sony or Canon DV camera. Both produce great day time/well lit shots, both are built well, and Sony will get you better low light performance.

Bingo. SFMM saw it to be in the best interests of the park (and you know what, I agree...I might have designed the OTSR's differently, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to foot the bill for stupidity either!) to modify the ride. There is absolutely no law about loopers being required to have OTSR's. However, there *IS* a law that makes sure parks are complying with all their SOP guidelines. Presently the SOP guidelines call for OTSR's, so OTSR's it is. The park *COULD* get the OTSR's removed (or at the very least redesigned), but they would have to go through the process of getting it approved by the state and the manufacturer (well, they could skip the manufacturer step, but I don't imagine their insurance company would be too happy!). It's just a hassle that simply isn't worth it to the park. -

Anyone want to pay the insurance bill for removing the OTSR's? Unfortunately they are there for a reason *cough* stupid guests *cough*, and removing them is not permitted under state law unless everyone signs off on the change. -
