We went on ET 3 times, and they were doing a great job! It was the passengers that were holding everything up. Cmon, how do you not take your fanny pack off on a ride like ET...idiots!!! -

Not sure what that is, but I think it will be crowded in October due to the fact that the park is only open Fri nite, Sat and Sun, FF will be going on. But you never know. -

From the pics, you can tell how long the line was for regular tix, so we went to the VIP house and got 'all-inclusive' VIP tix. For $100, you get a whole laundry list of stuff! It was great, we didn't have to pull out our wallets again the rest of the day. Check it out, it's well worth it. Also a time saving tip: If the lines are long out front, go to the VIP house and inquire about VIP tix. Then decline and ask to buy regular tix there. 2 ppl in front of me did that and probably saved a bunch of time waiting in the regular tix line. -
Tough trip to SFGA today! Lots of ppl. Had to wait 2 hrs just to get flash pass! But once that was done, the day took a turn for the better. Got another ride on KK and 3 more on El Toro, which brings my totals to 10 and 16 respectively. But enough about that, on to the pics…! They planted these chili pepper plants all around the exit walkway of El Toro. Very ‘hot’ theming IMO (ha ha ha, I made a pun…!) Thanks for reading. This PTR is over! The bridge from ‘the Deuce’ to El Toro has been re-opened and gives a great view of the Bull. Here is our competition on the go-karts. Those 2 guys in the black and red shirts couldn’t kart for sh1t! I got behind them, and they kept swerving all over the damn track! So I put ‘em both into the wall! Huuuuuuuck…missed ‘em! (kidding again!) Congo rapids has this cool little observation deck/balcony near the $.25 canons where you can spit on riders (kidding) as they pass. Neat! Nice shot of Nitro’s ending whoop-dee-doos (technical jargon) from the Flash Pass entrance to Batman. Awwwe, there’s my big girl! My girl, Nitro, was in great form today! She ran 3 trains and only had one stoppage b/c some guy was mouthin’ off to the ride-op! Obscenities to ride-op + Security called = bye bye Our El Toro pic was a tad more on the risqué side. Easy fanboys, she a mother of twins now! Hmm, ya think I know where the cams are…? Also, I wonder if they want you touching the screens? Not sure… Our KK on-ride came out OK. TPR shirt in da hizzouse!!! This is my wife, Kim, in line for her maiden voyage on KK…she is less than enthusiastic, apprehensive would be an understatement. Yes, “more rides…less wait” is correct, but not for the Flash Pass booth. The Flash Pass registration building is the tiny one way in the distance. Not the first building, the second one! At least there were Dippin Dots on the way. Let’s just say we were not the only ones that decided to head to the park today…!

Is It Really Worth It?
gmoney422 replied to Adriel's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
2 minutes...! Try less than 1 minute! But, yes, I vote they are worth it! Gadv was an OK park, but I think KK put it on the map. And now with 'the bull', Gadv is a big time park! The down side is the crowds. G "proud to call GA my home park" Money -
Question about video editing...
gmoney422 posted a topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hey guys, here's my situation. I just bought a great camcorder (Sony HC-96)! Now I want to upload the vidoes I've shot from my camera to my PC. I have a firewire connection, so that's OK. I was using the Sony software that came with the camera, but the video capturing (ie uploading to the computer) only goes at the speed of the footage. Is that because of the software I'm using? Anyone know of a way to "high-speed upload" videos from my camera so I don't have to sit there all day and re-watch my videos as they're uploading? Also, what are the good and easy-to-use (I stress easy-to-use!) software packages for editing videos and adding music and graphics and such? Any advice would be much apreciated.

I know this is a bit off topic, but is Mythos like WDW, where you have to get reservations 3 months in advance, or can you walk-in?

Great P:TR man! Gosh, CP looks like fun! $.25 cotton candy is an unbelievable deal! I guess I know what I'll be throwing up from next August when I'm there! Thanks for sharing. G "blue cotton candy-a-holic" Money

I like overhearing someone talking about how scared they are, then getting them more scared by talking up the ride. I was on Nitro with my buddy, and we got sat next to 2 like 12 yr olf boys. They asked me in the station if Nitro was scary, and I'm like, "Naw, you're gonna have a fun!" Then we're on the lift hill (point of no return) and I lean over to them, "I lied guys, last time I went on this ride I pissed myself...!" The look on their faces was...priceless!!!

We got them from the park ppl, but I believe if you go to the "VIP Experience" office just to the right just outside the main gate, you can buy them there (for I think $150 each). Pricey, but if you're only going to the park once, and it's a crowded day, well worth it! Here's a link: http://www.sixflags.com/parks/greatadventure/parkpress/viptours.html#allinclusive
