Just saw this posting, and watched the video. :shock: That's all I have to say about that.

Here's my little list: Theme Parks: PGA SFMW Frontier Village (defunct) SCBB Bonfante Gardens SFMM Knott's USH DL DCA Legoland CA Belmont Park USF IOA BGT Seaworld Orlando Magic Kingdom Epcot MGM Knoebels SFA Dutch Wonderland SFGAdv Valleyfair Camp Snoopy @MoA Riverview Big Chiefs SFGAm CP SFWoA PKI Holiday World SFKK Indiana Beach Dollywood (a year after it opened; it SUCKED then) Water Parks: Raging Waters San Jose Splashin' Safari Some ghetto water park in Bakersfield (the armpit of California) That's pretty much it. In September, I'll add Hersheypark and Dorney onto the list. Justin

Dude, I didn't know you did that at work. I mean, I knew you were a fiend, but come on!

Nah, send him back. Man, Benadryl really makes you sleepy. Not a good thing to take at work. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz.....

So I just finished the new Paramount survey about their "identity". It seems that Viacom is splitting in two, and the parks will now be under the CBS television portion. There were all these weird questions about what I thought CBS would bring to the table vs. Viacom or other companies like Marvel Comics (I voted for this one), ABC and even Fox. (A Family Guy dark ride would kick ass...) So I guess my question is this: what the hell does it matter? CBS is still owned by Viacom, so who cares about it? Seems like a waste of time to me, they should be focusing more on getting some better rides into the place and not on their damn name. That's just my rant, I'm off my soapbox now. SLAYER! Justin

This is good news, but I'll continue to take a "cautiously optimistic" approach to all of this. I believe that Roy Disney had the best interest of the company in mind, but we'll see how this all plays out.

7 out of 10, you were docked because you rode X. Justin

Nice TR Derek, I enjoyed the photos. Looks like a fun time was had, I had no idea SDC looked so nice. You should meet up with us at Hershey or Dorney Labor Day weekend, if you're around. Justin

http://www.guardian.co.uk/china/story/0,7369,1521535,00.html It actually sounds pretty good.

^ Nope, don't want Terrell Owens back, thank you very much. Send him to the Vikings, they are missing their loud mouth, cry-baby receiver. He's over in my town playing for the Raiders now. Gregg, I sent you the link to my photos from the day, did you get them? Justin

^ I believe you mean, GO A'S!

NICE! Great shots, the Dodger game was awesome, Hooters rocked and West Coaster is the BEST COASTER. Seriously though, thank you guys again for hanging out with us, we both had a great time. I'll make sure to get my photos up for everyone to check out after I get home. Thanks for my hat too, I'll make sure to wear it in September. SLAYER!

SLAYER!! That's awesome, I'll never forget when we saw that kid in line and started chanting SLAYER!! with the horns. Good times. "I have that same beard... on my b***s..." Classic! I'll make sure to grab the pics tomorrow. Justin

Yeah, my photos were off the heezy fo sheezy. Word. Mattttt Daaamoonnn...

Wally, your avatar rocks dude. SLAYER!! As for what PKI will do, it's anyone's guess. I know Paramount was toying with the whole indoor coaster with a rock theme, similar to Rn'R, but I can't imagine them tearing out FoF to do it. My money is on a complete retheme using existing track. I bet more than half the GP wouldn't know any different. As for Top Gun being torn out, it's a possibility. Arrow suspendeds aren't exactly top-notch thrill rides. They never were in my opinion. They are just fun. I'd hate to see them tear a coaster out that I didn't get a chance to ride when I was there, but I wouldn't mind it if they built a nice hypercoaster. Yeah right. Justin

Dude, we have to do drunk DDR again, that was off the heezy fo sheezy. NYE in So Cal... I'm there dude.

Very nicely done, my friend. I commend you on the speed at which you put that thing together. You are a machine.

SLAYER!!! That pic is awesome. Dude, I'm so buying a Slayer t-shirt and hat to wear on our Pennsylvania trip.

Dude, where's the "Matttt DAAmmmon" photo? Nice TR dude, I was going to write one but I suck at them, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves. My thanks go out to Wally for putting up with my rambling conversations, Jim "As Seen on DVD" Disney for coming out and meeting us at Knotts, and most especially to Gregg and Kristi for hanging out with us Saturday night, letting us crash and then going with us to USH on Sunday. Hope I didn't annoy you guys too much! Abercrombie!!

Dude, free beer and free money. Can't beat that!

Well, I eat my own words from yesterday. I saw on the news this morning that the Wayans are taking this plan in front of the Oakland City Council. So it sounds like they are pretty serious about this. Let's cross our fingers and hope this works out, only so we can see a Fire Marshall Bill ride...

You're welcome. I figured it was Dark Phoenix when I saw what you wrote in your sig. Hopefully they pull off X3 good enough to not piss off the fans. I'm already bummed that Alan Cumming isn't coming back to play Nightcrawler. Back on topic, I haven't heard any more about this project since that story first ran in the Chronicle. Odds are this won't get off the ground. Too bad too, I'd love to have an awesome theme park right in my backyard. Justin

That's awesome, it'll be good to see you two again. We should be there around park opening, I'll send Gregg my cell phone number and get his. Hopefully Tragic Mountain is decent that day. Justin

Yeah, not gonna happen. Fortunately, or Un-fortunately Kristi wants to go to Hershey as bad as I do, if not moreso. So doing solo trips is not really something that happens too much. I will let you guys know about Sunday, but I don't think it should be a problem. Yeah, don't wives just really get on your nerves, always wanting to go places with you and stuff? Just kidding! Just the fact that she actually LIKES coasters gives her 1 billion trillion points. My girlfriend doesn't like rollercoasters. :shock: Justin

I know, I dropped off the face of the Earth after Sarah and I broke up. That devastated me, forced me into therapy with Dr. Phil and made me attend several Tony Robbins seminars. Seriously though, it did throw me for a loop (no pun intended) so I sort-of dropped out of sight for awhile, focused on other things. It would be good to see some familiar faces though, and I'm looking forward to coming down. Even if I'm by myself, it'll be fun to just get away for the weekend. It's a 30th birthday present to myself.
