Minor refurb. Updated the two Indy's to look more life-like (and they do), and a few minor things. When I went Sunday with Divv, lots of lights weren't working,timing was a bit off in the blowing darts, rat room was seriously messed up, etc... F On our first ride, the ball room didn't move. Second time, the room moved, but the ball wasn't rolling. It really needs a good 3-4 month rehab, and add the damn smoke ring!! The rat room was seriously messed up. I think that they forgot to turn on the "on" switch. Some of the other rooms were so dark due to missing lights. On the other hand Pirates looked quite good. This trip has been the first time my folks have been to the park and I had to laugh that they both commented how abrupt the ending is on Snow White. So far, it has been a good visit.

Erik & Smisty's Florida Oddventures

The scene where Bond fights a big snake in Moonraker was one of the scenes. Jeff Bridges AKA "The Dude" grew up there due to his father had a popular TV show filmed there as well. I have not been there in years, other than stopping there for work. What, no Wild Waters photos? -
Seriously bad theme park days
Erik Johnson replied to caffeine_demon's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That is an excellent question. I think the worst park day (or partial day) I ever experienced was at Six Flags America (of all places) a few years ago. I stopped there with some friends on opening day while en route to Great Adventure. It took forever to get one guy's pass processed, and he needed every credit in the park. Well, he got Wild One--that's it. To top it off, one of our group was evaced off of Joker's Jinx, and park security and local cops had to drag some pervert out of the Superman line (he was groping teenage girls). To be fair, this is the only "bad" day I've had at that park, but I haven't been back since. At least I finally did get my Joker's Jynx credit! Yeah, I would have to agree with Chuck that was a pretty horrible Park day. The worst was how horrible they were running the flash pass line for Superman. After an hour wait, we gave up. -
On GASM make sure you sit on a non wheel seat (middle row in each car) and you will do fine. I find the the exact center of train does give you a pleasent ride. As for Cyclone and Ninja make sure you ride in the front seat of the very last car. Anywhere else is death. I actually do like Cyclone, but just expect for some violent, jarring airtime on it.

About the Chinese foot photo. I remember while living in Taiwan that in many of the public parks that there were rock gardens that you could walk on with your feet without shoes. Apparently, when you massage certain sections of your feet by walking on these rocks it helps to promote good health or to help adjust those systems in your body. The picture is a diagram of which pressure points of the foot are connected to those other systems in your body.
