Well seems as it's been bumped
I was actually laughing like crazy when I got on TTD, I think I was just happy I fit (may have had an embarrassing MF incident earlier).
It's a good ride, but to be honest I'd take Magnum XL-200 over it any day.

http://www.bluefirecruises.com.au/ - Failed validation, 133 errors.
http://www.bluefiregrill.com.au/ - Failed validation, 178 errors.
Fixing the errors seems like a good place to start.
I was using Strick HTML 4.01.
Removing the absolute horror of table, tr & td tags in favour of CSS would also be great. The javascript can also take a hike.
The colors are very, ick, but I guess their logo will have you tied down to them to some extent.
In general I'd remove the clutter from it, they are layed out in a very slopy fashion at the moment.
The cruises site doesn't look terrible, it could be salvaged, the gille site looks like a bad menu designed in MS Word, kill it.
Whatever you decide to do, best of luck with it.

Unless the sprint to a parks best ride counts as a sporting event, I have never been to one. Yeah, yeah, I'm werid.

Sweet delicious Coke-Cola. *drools a little*
Used to have 2+ liters a day. I have had to bad myself from it (and all the other sodas) in some form of a half-a$$ed attempt to get a little healthier (and Intamin seat-belt compliant!).

Doug all the way!
And now the theme tune is stuck in my head, great...

Thats good for the MLS who would like to lure more stars like that to their league. Who are the other two athletes that are paid higher than him?
They would be Tiger Woods and Michael Schumacher.
Am I the only one who finds these 'wages' sickening?
Maybe it's just the jealousy talking.

ARGH!
Child Proof Caps on medicine jars/bottles. When one is sick, one usually isn't very strong, how in the hell do they expect me to open them!!

1. I <3 Knott's Berry Farm!
2. I have problems managing anger.
3. I usually suck at making new friends.
4. I travelled over 5,000 miles to work at USH in 2005 (best job ever).
5. I am 3/4 of the way through my software engineering degree (being a total Apple fanboi).

If Great Adventure is considered the saving grave, the company is in more trouble than even I thought. It's got a lot of the same problems SFMM has, and far too many closed rides.
As for SFMM, I keep hearing how much work the park would need, and although I agree, I disagree that the park is that far gone. It just needs a company that has the disposable cash to run all the attractions and clean the park up. It may not be up to enthusiasts standards even then, but we don't count that much.
Oh dear
To be honest Viper was still alive and running when I was there. Sorry to hear it's gone down hill too.

$599, they will have me in the poor house!

Any park operator would be brave to take on Magic-less Mountain. It's in dire need of a massive overhaul. It needs to a huge scale back, less roller coasters (just loose the crap ones), more flat rides, staff that are out of diapers and a big injection of anti-apathy medicine.
MM is the park that makes you want to hate Six Flags, Great Adventure is their saving grace, concentrate on it. Perhaps using some of the wads of cash from selling the other parks.

I wouldn't go on that thing if my life depended on it (what would be the point, it would just kill me).
I wonder what the rider:vomit ratio is.

Is there any significant differences b/w the hollywood one and USF's? Also, how old is hollywoods?
USH's Back to the Future opened in June '93, two years after Orlando's. USJ's opened in 2001 and such I can see it being around for a lot longer.
They are pretty much the same ride, but as far as my bones and head are concerned the USH version is quite a bit smoother than the older Orlando ride. The buildings are very different (I prefere Hollywood's, but then again I'm very biased towards the park).
I am sorry to see the ride go, but not very sorry. It has a lot of problems, horrific loading times, uncomfortable motion, the franchise isn't anything close to what it used to be (not to many kids are big BTTF fans anymore) and of course it's less than graceful aging.
I will miss the ride, and I will be highly irritated if it's replacement isn't a damn good one.

^ Again! You people are awully hard on Knott's!
Living in Ireland I don't have a home park (ignore RCDB). So I'll take the one that's easiest for me to get to, Blackpool Pleasure Beach & Wild Mouse, it would have been the Grand National, but apparently that's runined now(I'm almost afraid to go on it).

Somehow, I have never been on an SLC, so I need to go try out Blackpool's new/second hand one
Ignoring that, my goals are the same as they always are, visit more parks this year than I did last year
-
My first was Lethal Weapon Pursuit (now Cop Car Chase) in Warner Bros. Movie World Germany (now Movie Park Germany).
Come to think of it, that was also the day I noticed how parks with twin roller-coasters didn't bother running both sides most of the time, grrr.
-
God you people are very hard on Knott's
Worst ending is The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the whole thing is slow and boring, but they really went all out to make the ending awful.
Best ending has to go to either Magnum for it's totally insane airtime (lets just ignore the bit into the station), or Blackpool's Wild Mouse, never ever have I had so much fun (and pain) just going around two corners.

Okay so it wasn't technically a ride, but I worked on Shrek 4D in Universal Studios Hollywood for the summer in 2005. It was (depressingly enough) the best job I ever had. Hell if my college course fails (or if I fail it) I know what I am going to end up doing
We didn't have to do much in the way of 'operations', just smile lots, try to be super nice and run the thing as efficiently as possible. Usually meant shoving 450+ people into every show and getting at least four shows an hour.
Well I'm sure none of that helps, but I like to reminisce

Grand National has been ruined with the new trains.
:'(
Really, I was hoping they wouldn't make such an impact. It was/is one of my favourite roller coasters. Didn't get to ride the last time I was in Blackpool, they were testing the new trains and didn't seem to be interested in having me as test subject.
Anyway, most runined roller coaster I have ever set foot on was Revolution. It was horrible to ride it, I wish I hadn't. If I had the money I'd buy MM and re-fab it back to it's old glory.

My glasses went on everything in Cedar Point bar TTD and they stayed on just fine. Of course I can see pretty well without them, if I depended on them to any degree I'd probably not take the chance.

Sadly I meant from Monday through to the new year
Epic levels you say... hmmm... may need to get front of line passes...
Thanks

Cedar Point, nothing else comes close to matching it.
You see the park long before you arrive, all that steel just dominates the view, it's amazing.
