Neato! I had the Pac-Man watch, and yeah everyone was playing them in class...at least you could turn off the sound.

Great, I now have to get a PSP. I wonder how easy it will play since the original PS2 version uses two analog controllers. Oh wait, I can see that it can be played like Smash T.V. for the SNES.

Awwwww...Where is your SNES?

My most unusual video game system has got to be my Neo-Geo CDZ from Japan. Yes, I still play it quite a bit. Metal Slug is my favorite game for it. And unlike the American versions of Neo-Geo, this system plays all the games uncensored. My games collection for the Neo-Geo CD. The Neo-Geo CD-Z original box. The Neo-Geo CD-Z with Metal Slug.

Yep, that is the magic seat for the Ninja. That is where I sat for my three rides on Ninja this past summer. It was fun seeing everyone getting whiplash while I was sitting in the magic seat.

Holy Cow!, that's a long list of closed rides. Is that typical for SFMM?

Actually isnt it Aussome?

WoW! another big addition to Carowinds. They added a great Kid's area this year, now they going to add more to an already decent water park. Yeah waterparks got to be better than the Italian Job (though I have yet to ride it). Go Carowinds!

We would be going on a weekday if we go, thanks for the information.

Do you mean does the American drum work with the Japanese version of the game? I believe so, I think the controller is the same in both the US and Japan.

Is it recommended to get the Gold Q-bot over the standard at that particular Six Flags park? We may be going there next summer.

While I did not get very close to the fence, it did look more like a maze. I have to admit I was not sure what exactly it was for, but it did look like they were building it for some sort of event for HHN.

^^ I guess they are going to do this like Disney does with Epcot's Wonder's of Life, and MK's Timekeeper. I sure hope that they do keep it maintained during the off-season. I have only done Jaws once and that was probably about 8-10 years ago, so I don't really remember it very well.

Ok, this is the first review I had of the cafe. No problem then. At least I know not to waste my time and money going there then. Is there a favorite spot to eat at Epcot?

I figure since we are going during a non-peak time we should be able to get several SheiKra rides in that day. I figure that we will be skipping Gwazi since you guys have limited time that day. We may stay for Howl-O-Scream though, if they are doing it that day.

Finally going to see Rush last year in Tampa was very cool. Since they are practically my favorite band it was a real treat to finally see them in concert during thier 30 anniversary tour. The 2112 performance was really great. Tool as well as Metallica always puts on a great show as well.

Yeah the 2nd half of E.T. certainly can be compared to "small world on acid." What's even better is that I got to ride it twice since my mom wanted to ride it earlier that day. Oh well, at least the lines were short for it. I'm not sure what Leanne did with that CD-Rom. I wanted to try it out to see the Mummy stuff, but its nowhere to be found in the house. Oh well, maybe later.

Looks like you had a nice time while you were at the park. Though I do have a hard time with some of those flat rides, I usually don't feel too good after riding them. Nice TR!

With the new referb, the sea cabs will be back. At least that's what the CMs were saying before it closed.

The Pac-Man cafe. Does anyone have any interest or has been there? If its cool I think it would be neat to go eat at a video game themed cafe as a part of our gathering. Only if we have the time (or interest). http://www.icwhen.com/cafe/

We quite enjoyed our trip to AK last week, but again we like looking at the animals as well...Here is the Photo TR: for it. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18843

They renamed it "Dinosaur" in order for it to tie into the movie.

Just a few more to go. At least USO does have a few memorials of its past rides. Kong R.I.P You know that Family Guy finally has earned some respect in that you can win Brian and Stewie at the games-of-skill booths. A simple picture of Leanne and I

We went to Universal Orlando today. This was the first time my mother has been to the park. Plus, we met up with my sister's family. My nephews today earned thier first two coaster credits today. #1 being The Revenge of the Mummy. #2 being the Woody Woodpecker coaster. They are there for the weekend while staying at the Hard Rock Hotel. Because they are using thier hotel keys for fast-passes, we were unable to keep up with them a good part of the day, but we did get to meet up with them for a few hours to take in a few shows. Ok...onto some pictures. Anyone ever notice how similiar Shrek is to TPR? They both have an ogre, a girl who loves that ogre, and a donkey. Ok, I can see Robb encouraging Elissa to play this game in order to get some great footage for next year's DVD. The prize for drinking the most disgusting shake ever was a free pin. I would rather win my pins from MGM's audience participation game. While he could fly like Superman (or like Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat), he was elminated after this event. Ahhhhhh!....no thanks. This guy paid $60 to come into the park to have live emperor scorpions dropped on his head. I would rather ride the Mummy again a 2nd time personally. This guy was the 2nd person to fall during the event. I'm glad they already had volunteers to clean up the mess. Fear Factor Live! is USO's new attraction this year. Its was thier 8th birthday (it really was 2 weeks ago), but the chef came out anyways to greet us, he was very cool. Drayton is on the left, while Jordan is on the right. (Yes they are twins). They are cool cause they now like coasters. This is my nephew Drayton enjoying a chocolate milk shake. He earned it because he just earned his first coaster credit, The Revenge of the Mummy. Some of you may be happy to know that its shark appreciation month at USO. While my mom did not ride the Mummy, she did ride everything else. She did like Back to the Future quite a bit. But my mom prefers Antonio. Leanne agrees. The donkey from Shrek is the best donkey ever. I don't think I have a chance in being a replacement for our logo. I noticed they put up some fencing near the studio. I wonder if this has something to do with the upcoming HHN events. While IOA is hosting HHN this year, 3 of the USO sound stages are going to be used as haunted houses. Leanne and my mom excited to be able to go to USO today. This is a picture of my mother (or mum for some TPR readers). She is excited to visit Universal Orlando for the first time. It's game time. USO's games are very expensive. $5 for two chances. WOW! I'm not sure what they are doing in this picture. Drayton riding the Woody Woodpecker coaster for a 2nd time. He already has learned how to raise his hands on a coaster. (That is him on the front row) My sister "volunteered" Leanne and I to take the twins back on E.T. This picture is for some of you penguin lovers out there. There are never enough pictures of The Incredible Hulk. Its some kind of promo CD, though the Mummy section might be interesting, I shall check it out soon. We were wondering why everyone was wearing these CD laynards around the park today, so Leanne picked one up at the exit. Just one more month till the Florida meet. Jordan really has a strong arm when it comes to throwing a baseball. Some people may be interested in knowing that the twins had no interest in the whack-a-rodent game.

^^ Great...Thanks jamor you now made this thread as well as any that you posted (including my TRs) R -rated. Would you mind changing it? Though it is funny, I think it may be a bit much, even for this site. (edit) Thanks for changing your video .
