Oh good lord! Did Robb drop peyote again and get lost in tha desert. Elissa is probably just following the GPS chip she had imbeded into Robbs craneum just for these occasions. I realy shouldn't be talking about this, as it's kinda sensitive. Not too many people know this, but Robb suffers from night terrors. He sometimes has them for days on end. You think he's awake but he's realy fast asleep in a fully functional state. He'll be all non-chalant about things while secretly plotting a way to escape and get back to the mothership. This is exasorbated when he drops peyote. (We all already know about his drug problems, so I won't go into that.) The one who suffers most realy is poor Elissa. She's resorted to having to make up these wild TRs to the far reaches of BFE just to hide Robbs affliction. Nancy Reagan once said of Ronalds Alzheimers, "It is the cruelest of deseases." What that has to do with Robbs problems, I don't know. I do know that Elissa is no Nancy Reagan though, and she doesn't have a team of secret service men to find Robb when he loses it. Now I do know that Robb was partyin' pretty hard being that Monday was his birthday and all. I also recollect that he mentioned something about wanting a chocolate shake from the Bun Boy at the worlds tallest thermometer in Baker. I know what your thinking, and no he didn't mention anything about heading to Red Rocks for a spa treatment. But, as we all know, the thermometer is realy just a landing becon for UFO's. So. If my theory is correct, Robb is somewhere in Dry Lake Bed, out beyond Zzyxx Rd. Probably wandering around aimlessly trying to flag down every aircraft that passes over head. Poor bastard! Anyhoo... Elissa, I hope this information helps. I'm working through Wednesday. So If you havn't found him by then. Give me a call and I'll get the bloodhounds. Don't you fret your pretty little head over this. We found him before and we'll find him again. I just hope this time he dosn't try to warm himself up during the night by setting his clothes on fire. That's kinda a funny story in itself. Yeah, he burned his clothes trying to get warm and ended up running around naked for 3 days. Oh those poor campers. They thought they were being stalked by Big Foot. That was a lark. He he. TPR members, Let's keep this on the DL. Robb is kinda sensitive about it. He realy dosn't want people to know he has a "problem." If you run into Robb and he mentions the TR with a "VUE" and an "Engine." Just smile and nod and look real interested. We don't want him to have a flashback. Oh God! do we not want him to have a flashback. Worry not E. We'll get him. Guy "Keep the GPS batteries charged, we don't want an incident like in Europe."

We would beg to differ on us being another state. Not too mention that La Ronde is in Quebec which barely even considers itself part of Canada. SFI would be better off to wait a few years on La Ronde. By then the Canadian dollar would be higher then the US dollar and they'd get a better return on their money. Oh c'mon you know Dubya is hot to try and conquer another country. Besides, Snyder has Bush in the palm of his hand. The Redskins just donated 4 million dollars to the Republican party down there in Florida the other day. All Snyder has to do is say "Hey Georgie, ya know that four Mil I just gave ya. I want it back unless you invade Quebec." Guy "If he can create WMD's out of sand in Iraq. Then I'm sure he can find someone harboring Osama in Canada." Koepp

A tracked robo coaster that actualy hangs you out over the edge, hurling you up and down, rotating you forward and backward, while moving around the top of the tower at 62mph. (Cause' that's the speed of fear.) F*** the Michael Vic experience. Bring on the S*** your pants experience. Or better yet. Dueling Screaming Squirels down each side of the tower. Guy "I realy should be a ride designer." Koepp

As I said before. This won't realy effect me that much, cause' I rarely stay for more that 3 hours anyway. I can however respect all the people that this is going to inconvenience. All I can say is start emailing, and start calling guest relations. Snyder himself said that he's not afraid to fail, and I think this is a good step in that direction. If people are apathetic about it, then it will continue. Guy "But then again, what do I know?" Koepp

You guys are going to Castles & Coasters, or that new Xmas park in Phoenix at the fairgrounds. That bridge is where the I10 East crosses over the Colorado River. Way below Lake Havasu. It's between Blyth & Quartzite. The first picture is the I10 way out past 29 palms. Am I right? What do I win? Guy "I have family in Tucson, so I go by there at least once a year." Koepp

Here's an odd thought. What if he were to sell off his two highest tier parks. He would get premium dollar return. And not have to worry about re-habbing them. I don't know about Gadv. But, MM is going to take a lot of work and money to get it to his standards of a family park. IMHO if he were to dump these parks, CF would probably snatch them up pretty quick as they are thrill parks and thats what CF sells. He could then use the S***load of cash to buy down debt as well as influx all the rest of the chain. However, I do think they will try to sell Mexico. The other park is a toss up. Canada is realy just another American state anyway and I think the park is quite profitable, so under the circumstances it may not be on the chopping block. Astroworld is already a given, they are subdividing the land and selling it for top dollar. Question is, Is that one of the two? Poor NO. Why would they spend millions of dollars to re-hab it only to turn around and lose millions on it's sale? Besides, isn't the land leased? They would gain less than nothing. I think their only options there are to re-hab the park and open it. Or write the whole thing off as an income tax deduction and collect what little they can from insurance. Guy "But what do I know?"

I've said it twice and I'll say it again. Dueling Screaming Velocirapters! I envision the story to be like this. You are a pack of Velocirapters preparing to pounce upon your prey. Between you in a deep ravine sits an unsuspecting galimimus. Your Velocirapter themed cars climb two oposing cliffs and speed toward the crippled plant eater. At the last moment you attack thrusting out your big hook thingy toe. Like a pack of hungry great whites, you dart in and out ripping the tender flesh off the now pathetic animal. As you dart one last time between the legs of the monsterous galimimus. It, in a last ditch effort takes a huge crap on your head thus rendering your ride over.

Phantasialand Discussion Thread
Guy T. Koepp replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It looks closer to a half batwing than anything else. If that's a certified inversion then so is the overbank on Silver Bullet at Knotts. As well as the leaning loop on Riddlers at 6FMM. Either that or it is .7 of an inversion. Riddlers is 5.7 inversions. Silver Bullet is 6.7 inversions. Black Mamba is 4.7 inversions. Guy "I take my inversions very seriously." Koepp -
Boy am I glad I ordered my replacement passes back in Nov. Does anybody know if the Xtreme Play Pass went up in price as well. Or did they just revoke the parking priveleges. In which case, who do I go to to start a class action lawsuit? Does anybody know any good lawyers. Snyder might be starting to scare me a little. Guy "I'm going to the gym." Koepp

I agree that this policy is real bad. If it were true, it seems that he has already recinded it. However, I also agree with Robb on the fact that when I leave a park. It is usualy pretty permanent anyway. So I don't realy care about that policy. Besides, what are the picnic areas for inside the park, or for that matter, how about the picnic area in the middle of the parking lot at MM. Oooo! They could use it for more rides. That would be a prime spot for dueling 200ft Screaming Squirrels. Think about it. Two Screaming Squrrels that were aimed directly at each other. Just as you were headed for a collision with the opposite car it would swoop down inverting you whilst narrowly missing the on comming car. That would be awesome! Anyway, I digress. Most 6F parks have a picnic area... wait! That's probably the land that he keeps talking about selling off. good call Snyder, good call! Re-entry policy. Guy "No re-entry BAD! Dueling Screaming Squirrels GOOD!" Koepp

Video: Islands of Adventure

Nice work Eric! Great music and very well thought out pacing. Keep up the good work. It took me back to Halloween. Can't wait untill next year. Take care Bro! Guy "Lookin' forward to spendin' more tim with ya." Koepp -
That makes sense. I'm hoping that the Snyder Project forces some parks that are open year round to do rotating re-habs. On the same scale of Disney. Does 6FoG usualy look nice when I opens for the season. I'll bet it's gonna look great with that towering monster looming over the entryway. Guy "That's a great way to get your blood pumping before you enter tha park." Koepp
-
Why is 6FoG not open year round? Does it realy get that cold during the winter. I was just north of there in TN and I didn't find it to be that cold during the days. Mid 50s low 60s. Atlanta is like 6 hours south. That should add about 5 or more degrees to the days. Happy Birthday Robb. Guy "I just think it could be a good year round park especially after Goliath opens." Koepp

How many days was Snyder at MM? I saw him and his posse on Thursday. Guy "Is he spending more time at certain parks?" Koepp
