I would have lost my patience with that before I had them all cut out. Awesome IDEA!

http://www.themeparkreview.com/lou/Spain/lou/P1010665.jpg I know who that one is......

It's Raptor. Helix to the block brake circling the dive out of the zero-g. Sky ride tower in the background, as well as the Grand Ballroom.

It took me like 2 seconds as well to identify that coaster.

Lou, I think Turbulencia is Bruno's pet name for his .........*ahem*

^It really was, but only because of the turtles

The RSVP page says "Thank you for RSVPing for West Coaster Bash" when submitted. Just an FYI. I'm so looking forward to this . Now I just need to convince Jeff to go.

Jon, you don't have to lie to make friends. No need to keep the machismo up around here, many of us have met you

OMG. For posting that picture of me bending over in my swimsuit......DIE! The others I don't mind I'm glad you're finally posting a PTR. I'm sad I missed a bunch of it until now. I had so much fun that entire trip, definitely a trip of a lifetime. Who's that guy, and why didn't I notice him before?

I made another one of these with coasters from all of the TPR trips (including this year's trips). http://apps.facebook.com/travelpod-challenge/community/10048380/1405 Playing it more than once should give you some different rides......

Don't sell them short, they were 6th at WGI last year, but that is Open class, there's still another 15 or so in World Class that are better. Still E.D. White has a great percussion program. Do you play percussion?

^I don't hate it....... I don't love it, but I don't hate it. It's no Disneyland........

I had the Hello Kitty wafflemaker in there somewhere. I'm still bummed I can't eat feline-shaped baked goods......

It's at a low, but dividends are up. Not exactly a bad prognosis. My guess is the debt load from the Paramount purchase is pushing the value down, especially since it wasn't met with stellar performance this past year.

Honestly, if you're spending a couple days at the Disney parks, I think it's worth it. You save on the airport transfers, you can go back to your room whenever you need (the shuttles from most hotels run a limited timetable), and you get extra hours in the parks (though I would suggest you go to another park once those hours are up, the early crowd mixes with regular crowd to get quite busy). Especially if it's more than just you going, since you pay per-person on airport transfers. BTW, not sure how decent the hostels in Orlando are. I would look for a cheap hotel instead. You can probably get one insanely cheap at that time of the year.

Holy hell!! How tall is that tree?

It's a Christmas pickle You hide it in the tree, and whoever finds it gets an extra gift or good luck for the year. More info http://mymerrychristmas.com/2005/pickle.shtml

^Me too, plus their ride ops were top notch....... at least the TPR ones

THe song from Notre Dame is the most impressive to me.

Mine is lame....... 2 El Toro SFGAd 7 Phoenix Knoebel's I rank El Toro as my number one, but Phoenix is below Twister on my poll, and a lot of others that didn't make the top 25.

I would so do this, but not this year. I don't have the vacation, same reason I'm not doing Europe That Miami ship looks AMAZINg!

Coaster Goals for 2008? Voyage Raven Legend Flying Turns Coney Island Cyclone I think that's all that will be new outside of SoCal that I'll get to ride.

^^Wow, what a transformation. I've been stuck in a maintenance pattern the last few weeks. I'll lose 3-4 lbs on M-Th, and then the weekend and the holiday parties come and ruin all my work. Haven't gone up or down.

Pepsi > Coke I think I fall into Elissa's groupings though....
