It's a shame they don't do the tours on the weekends... Hope it's good weather this Sunday!!! Love all the updates. I never have the time or the money to do all the quirky things in Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg but it's nice to live them vicariously through your updates. Thank you Erik and Misty!! -James Dillaman

They could always pave magic mountain and open up a giant roller-hockey complex to raise revenue... -James Dillaman

^ I think he means in other situations. For example, if I went to a football game, and I don't understand some obscure foul or something, a true hardcore fan would be annoyed with me. I'd be the GP. -James Dillaman

They literally have two penguins in a fish tank? Wow. Does the ASPCA know? They have a problem with people eating cockroaches but are okay with this? Great TR, Chuck. We'll have to go down and get to Busch Gardens soon. -James Dillaman

^ Just out of curiosity, why does being from California have to do with anything? I second Robb's exasperation about the apps. I use twitter almost exclusively on a day to day basis because I hate all the facebook apps. My mother and older people in my family seem to be the worst. I've blocked farmville, mafia, top friends, but more keep coming! -James Dillaman

^ Fat people ate all the power. -James Dillaman

Sorry but: "You'll put your eye out!" "I had done it. I had put my eye out" Happy Holidays! -James Dillaman

*sniff* I miss my King Cobra... -James Dillaman

^^ Mid Course Brake Run

I've got number two, although it only shows up on the browser I don't use often... weird. Anyway, hope you're having a great time during the off season Big Mike, and look forward to seeing you again soon! -James Dillaman

^ I was going to wrap him up with duct tape before I stuff him in the back of my car... We can just leave the duct tape on...

Erik, you and Misty have made my day quite a few times with LOL funny tweets... -James Dillaman

I like the idea of ridewarriors... I'll grab my battle axe and see you on the Racer @ KI next year!!! I AM THE WARRIOR!!!! -James Dillaman

Tatsu is much better than the Supermans, and I hear Manta is really good, too... Please don't let me live in a world where Firehawk is better than anything...

Large: Sheer size, as measured in area usually, as in "The Beast is the largest coaster at Kings Island, spanning over 25 acres of land." Tall: Height above the ground, as in "It doesn't matter that Kingda Ka is taller than Top Thrill Dragster, many people like dragster more - because of the lap bars." Nowhere does it say this will be the tallest coaster...

Let's see here: 1. Vekoma builds a flying coaster with loop (not pretzel loop) and double inversions at the end. 2. B&M improve the design and make it better for the riderrrr. 3. Everyone is far happier with the B&M model than the Vekoma models (many more are built). 4. B&M decide to replicate elements from Vekoma's failed design??? I just don't understand it. -James Dillaman

He's already decided... -James Dillaman

^ My fault. I thought it was for thanksgiving.... My family never participated in so called "black" friday. I feel pretty stupid now.. -James Dillaman

^ He knows too much... -James Dillaman

I can't find the link... It's 10:44 am here EST, that would make it well into thanksgiving Pacific time... Am I missing it? -James Dillaman

The most-used app on my iPhone is Yelp. It's a free app that connects to Yelp.com and allows you to search businesses around you. You click on nearby and a catagory (such as mexican restaurants or car repair shops or bars, etc.) and it comes up with a list of nearby places, with user ratings, map and directions to the business, a phone number you can call from within the app, and more! It really is very useful, and even has a search function. So if you want to know where the nearest Speedway is (to use your speedy reward points for example) and you're in a place foreign to you, this app is perfect! -James Dillaman

^ I seem to remember KI's as being beer themed and in the Oktoberfest section of the park, not too far from the ferris wheel, but I was really young... -James Dillaman

My name is James, not bill. Why IS there a campfire scented candle? http://www.amazon.com/CAMPFIRE-SCENTED-CANDLE-HOTWICKS-8oz/dp/B000Y8YKPE

^^^ I hope it has a large enough engine to run my single child home from soccer games.... If it gets good mileage (like above 8 or 9) it might make a great family car... -James Dillaman
