  1. Awesome news! I am over with my family for a big trip to Orlando from Australia between 27th August to October 5th. So that might be a nice little weekend trip to LA Who is best to fly with internally, and which airport do you choose to fly into LA? Excited!!!!
  2. Thanks guys for putting on an awesome two days. It IS a long way to come over from Australia for an event like this - but I will definitely be coming back soon!! Good meeting you all! Erik.
  3. Thanks for the info guys, I am super-pumped!!! I've talked a mate into coming over from Australia with me... funny thing, is my mate has _never_ _ever_ been on a rollercoaster... and, no I am not kidding! Should be a great trip... as I've got a leave pass from the wife and kids for this trip!!! 6 nights in LA, and 3 nights in Vegas...
  4. Finally going to a rollercoaster meet after all these years following on the site... me and a mate have booked in at the Disneyland Hotel... hopefully we'll be able to make it out to Six Flags no problems.... any suggestions on the best way for some useless Aussies?!? Out of interest what time does the meet usually kick off for registration, etc?? Look forward to meeting you all!
  5. Another Australian here.... Visited Disneyland first, in 1998. Visited Disneyworld 10 days later. My opinion then was Disneyworld as "a whole" is the better vacation destination. But I felt, back then, that Disneyland was the best single park. Went to Disneyworld again in 2003. Will be visiting Disneyworld again in November / December this year. Doing the DLR resort at the same time too.
  6. We're going to do Universal Studios in Florida - so I reckon we won't manage to get to Universal Studios California (went there in 1998 and was disappointed). Same goes for Sea World - we'll be hitting the one in Florida to do Kraken. Much admit I hadnt thought I hitting Belmont Park - how many coasters are there at that park??
  7. Hey! Thanks for the advice - I really appreciate it. I have been to SoCal before - but in August / September about 10 years ago! I would of thought the week before Christmas would of been a completely different kettle of fish! We were thinking of getting a couple of Flash Passes for Magic Mountain, just to make sure we can do as many of the rollercoasters as many times in the one day! Still no sure what to do travelling to San Diego - tossing up between a train, rental car, or a bus transfer. Decisions, decisions! Thanks again, Erik
  8. 8 days is the length we are at the resort. So some days I figure we'll just go into the parks at night. I am hoping they are open late in mid to late December.
  9. G'day guys, Was hoping you could give me some advice on our family's upcoming trip to the US. I am travelling with my wife, mother, and two daughters (5yrs old, and 18 months). This is our basic itinerary:- 16th - 19th Nov - L.A. (Hollywood Celebrity Hotel) 19th - 23rd Nov - Las Vegas (MGM Grand) 23rd - 27th Nov - Denver (visiting family friends) 27th Nov - 18th Dec - Orlando (Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort) 18th Dec - 27th Dec - (Disneyland Hotel) The Florida side of things is pretty much under control although we are going to go to Busch Gardens and would like to know what day would be best to check that park. We were planning on a Saturday (cause the park is open an extra hour) but I am not sure how crowded that park gets. My main area of questions are around the L.A. / Anaheim parts of our trip. We would like to go to the following non-Disney attractions: - Legoland California - San Diego Zoo - Knotts Berry Farm - Six Flags Magic Mountain So first question: Bearing in mind the dates we are going to be in California what would be the best days for us to visit these parks? We are going to do a 8 day park hopper for Disneyland at the end of our trip, and I think that the parks are open late at Disney so we can potentially do something during the day non-Disney and then go to DL / DCA at nights. Second Question: As we are only going to do a single day at Six Flags and we want to ride as many coasters as many times as possible is it adviseable to buy 1 or 2 Flash Passes on the day? Third Question: What would be the best way to get to Anaheim / LA to Legoland? I had read that the Amtrak system was a good option to go from Anaheim to San Diego. Anyways thats about it, any help help / advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Erik Also
  10. Silly isnt it? What happens if you are going to be staying at the resort for more than 10 days or so? Hmmmm...
  11. Length of stay passes were tickets that you could buy that were good for your entire stay at the resort. For example ours was good for the 16 nights we stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort. Once you passed like 10 days, any additional days were free.
  12. Hey guys, Was wondering back in 1998 we stayed onsite at WDW and was able to purchase "length of stay" passes for our stay. I was wondering, with all the ticket restructuring, does the length of stay pass still exist? And if so, could someone point me in the direction of the prices. Thanks muchly for any help!
  13. Would there be any way someone could host the last five entries posted? I can't seem to get them from here anymore!
  14. Still no go!?! I don't know what is going on. I have had no problems with the other 20 or so!!!
  15. I can't seem to download any of the new videos just posted. I get a "Cannot Find Server" for http://72.9.255.186/~rollerco/contest2005/bgt_mueller.zip Any ideas?
  16. Could you please re-post the links one more time for me! Thanks a bunch!
  17. Have to disagree with you... best first person shooter for me: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Can't say I am a fan of Call of Duty as I find the weapon mechanics too hard to master. Must admit I am becoming a fan of Counter Strike Source.
  18. True, there aint many rides there. But 90% are awesome. What other park has so many "e-ticket" rides in one park?
  19. From Geelong.... Whatabout you?
  20. I have a picture on my hard drive I wanted to put in. Couldn't work out how to do it!
  21. Was in the US in the 1998, and we were at our first day at Disneyland ever. It just so happened that the day coincided with our "getting together" anniversary in Australia. So, I thought "Ok.... I am going to do it!!" I was super nervous. Anyway we had just basically got their and walked up main street and I tell Jodi to wait at the statue of Walt and Mickey, cause I was busting to go to the toilet. She says "Ok". I go back down main street to find a damn shop that would sell a ring, any ring, for me to use. Went into one of the gift stores and found where they sold those cute little mickey mouse rings with her birth stone (june). I go back to find her. She's like going "Why did you take so long?!" So, I reply "Well, there was a huge wait at the toilets." We hadn't been to Disneyland before so she bought that. Anyways I am walking towards the castle and I guide her over to Snow White's Wishing Well, and propose to next to the wishing well in front of that little waterfall while Snow White is singing "I'm wishing..."
  22. Thanks for all the advice! It's much appreciated!
  23. Ok, so I am from Australia the land down under, and the land of lame theme parks. I have been to the states in 1998 and 2002 and once my daughter is old enough I want to plan a large coaster / theme park pilgrimage. Which parks should I make an effort to see? I've been to: Disneyland (not Cal. Adv), Knotts, SF:MM, USH, USF, IOA, Seaworld California, and Disneyworld. I originally thought if I went LA -> Ohio -> Orlando -> Vegas Do any of you guys have suggestions of parks I shouldn't miss? Thanks a bunch!
