Looks fantastic!

Yeah. I tried 6 times before I gave up and spent the donuts. Oh well. Yes, I have the same glitch.

Just left Kristen and Jew some eggs. I assume Jew wrote the USC message ago in my town.

Simpson photos! Yay! Fort Sensible.

Mt. Splashmore!!

It looks like if you do hit the maximum 50 snakes in your town that you do not lose any snakes. Once you clear out a few of those snakes, any snake that was not able to regenerate (the ones that appear every 8 minutes) automatically does. Also the game will not allow you to whack any eggs until there is room for them as well.

Ok fess up. Who is the USC fan who dropped off a bunch if eggs in my town!!

Downloadable update today. It looks like the XP glitch has been fixed...thank goodness.

It is way more fun to bomb a single town with lots of eggs than visiting a whole bunch and dropping 5 each.

The loss of XP is maddening. I thought I fixed it after a reinstall. It seemed to work, but it is glitching again.

Yeah, I noticed that I too have the losing XP glitch. This really sucks because I received a bunch if XP earlier today from building the magnifying glass.

Once you mess around with it fir a little while it starts to make sense. Make sure you steel snake eggs from Other Springfield instead of other people's towns.

I bet your XP glitch will fix itself out Jeff. I know mine did that once a few months ago for a day. Anyone else notice that while you surf through the list of friends's towns that they are no longer alphabetical?

I am perfectly fine if they decide to remove Gwazi. They really did try a lot of things to help improve the ride, but it is honestly not a very good ride. I would be up for a dark ride as well.

The waterfall looks nice.

It really was a great event. Thanks for organizing it for us! I had no idea how much Sally did themselves. Pretty much 100% of each dark ride is done in-house. It was funny to see that in the new Justice League pre-show that downtown Jacksonville filled in for the city under alien attack.

^ They already have a few, but you can always ask if they need more. I work in Jacksonville a lot. I had driven by the building many times before I knew what it was. I knew of the company, but I had no idea it was in Jacksonville up until a few years ago.

Yep, looks like another episode tie in with this week's upcoming episode. Looks like a sushi place, so maybe Akira will be added as well.

I was able to attend the first half Theme Park Review's: Florida Amusement Industry Tour today. It was simply amazing. Robb and Elissa was able to organize a trip to help benefit The Give Kids The World Village. The first half of the trip was a tour of the world famous Sally Corp headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida. I am sure close to 100% of TPR's readers have ridden a Sally Dark ride as they are many of them located all around the world. I wanted to thank everyone that helped make this happen as I always wanted to take a tour of the place. Are you ready for some pictures? Let me know if you find Waldo too. This is as far east as you can go on I-10. The Santa Monica Pier is only a few blocks away from the west end. Do you know what is close to the east end? Sally Corp! This is where awesome dark rides are made! Let us take a tour, shall we? Hello there Scooby Doo! Yes they are! I love the reading material in the lobby. We all got to meet this amazing singing bear. My personal favorite Scooby Doo ride. One of many of Sally's Dark rides. I thought it was really neat that they had these ride models on display. This was the first showroom we saw. We were then introduced to the Sally Team. This would be the prototype. Some of our European readers may recognize this guy. This would be a model of his ride. I am sure a lot of you have ridden this one. Or that one. Sally Corp President, John Wood, and Senior Designer, Rich Hill, talk about ride design. Here is a close up of a preliminary ride layout. Cool theme in my opinion. Sally was the first to come up with silicone to build their models. Pretty neat! There is a lot of work that goes into building one of these figures. John is testing out figure movement. This could work in my living room. I wonder what could be in this crate. Hello Mr. T-Rex! Roooooarrrrrr! We got to sample Power Blast, which is one of the newer concepts. I this one of the new Justice League ride vehicles that were built. Neat sign! We then got to check out the black light room. Which is more evil? Normal lighting. Black lighting. Hi there Shaggy. Do clowns scare you? There is a lot of work needed to make these figures to come alive. The director. The pirate was my favorite. I think some of these are from Boo Blasters. Random! You can see how things work clearly with this bird. Here is another mock up. To me, this looks like Boo Blasters. This is what it looks like under normal lighting. this is what one of these robots looks like without anything added to it. This is what is required to make things move. Another head in testing phase. Meet Sally 6.0 How many of these do you recognize? John shows off some of the hardware that goes into the ride vehicles. Yes, I enjoy looking at circuit boards. Did someone say cake? The Sally Corp tour was simply amazing! Thank you for having us! I would not be a TPR tour without a credit, right? Jacksonville's Adventure Landing has one of these. I finally got the credit.

Oh dear, OTSR? I can't stand those on these type of coasters. I sure hope they won't be too bad.

Ooooooo. I like the trains.

Another vote for Iron Rattler. That first drop looks so insane! As great as New Texas Giant is, this one could top my list as my favorite steel (right after Giant). Of course I still need to ride both Outlaw Run and Rattler.

Am I correct to assume Lisa needs to be free to start the Buddist Temple quest?

^ It looks pretty cool. I had the same idea for it's location.

They helped for about three weeks, after that arrrrgh! Also, my guess is that Phoenix is down for it's annual referb. They usually do it around this time of year.
