^ Yes you can do that, but we honestly prefer it that you post your pictures directly to TPR. This is in case you post something really special that could be used in either the front page or the park index.

Oh awesome Mike! I am glad I was not the one to rain on your parade.

I think he is trying to figure out what the first park you guys visited on the Deep South Trip. Dixieland Fun Park, I think?

Not to burst your bubble Mike, but it looks like someone did beat you to Gillian's already by a mere few days. Though it looks like that I already have the credit from Cypress Gardens anyways. http://rcdb.com/id4508.htm Here is TPR riding it at Cypress Gardens back in 2007.

I sure hope that the heat and humidity did not melt you guys. Great trip report!

^ Well considering that they have been running a ton of commericals and radio promotions now about Rockit, (And no, they do not say opening soon, they do imply that it is already open) you would think it should be open now. I am sure that there will be a influx of upset park guests thinking that the ride is already open.

I just got a text from a friend. Rockit is not open this morning.

Like the others have said, we already have another thread about this coaster.

They have been runnning quite a few radio ads for Universal these past few weeks that tells the listener about its new coaster. I wonder how many people get upset to find out that it is still not open once they get there.

Wow, I had no idea that Cameron was a member of the Royal Order of Water Buffaloes

Here is another short preview article over at Gamespot http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/aboyandhisblob/news.html?sid=6212949&om_act=convert&om_clk=picks&tag=picks;title;6

More, more, more!

They are running the coaster in test mode in that video. Check out page 187 to see it at full speed. The lift does not sound quite as loud in that one.

Oh no! Not Eagle's Fortress! I am a very sad Arrow Suspended Fanboy.

I will pick either Midnight Rider, or Devil that Went Down to Georgia. Geek Trivia: Anyone know what other coaster has a connection to these two songs already?

^ I will never forget that ride on Wild Beast last year.

Vortex proved to be a real surprise for me, especially since I love Arrow suspended coasters. It is mostly certainly better than Top Gun. Glad you loved Behemoth, its my favorite B&M Hyper that I have ridden so far. (Though I still need to ride La Ronde's Goliath and Silver Star).

Here is a rather long one, but I think you guys will enjoy it. Disneyland: The Long Version [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=DisneylandLongVersionsmall_d3c5[/coastertube]

Wow, very nice series of photos.

Some of you may have already seen this a few years ago, but this is for those who have not: Animal Kingdom At Night. This one features an 11 minute video of several TPR members enjoying an evening at Disney's Animal Kingdom, which is a bit of a rare feat since it usually closes before dusk. The video does include several on-ride videos of Expedition Everest with plenty of TPR commentary as well as a whole lot more. Enjoy: [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=akatnight[/coastertube]

Lets bring this thread back from the dead!

Heh heh heh. I just like to be up front with people. I am not one to try to sugar coat things, but I am sure you will do much than I did.

Essentially TPR does have the entire park for around 90 minutes or a little more at the end of West Coast Bash with all the coasters in ERT mode.

Universal puts on the best shows, and like many of you have said they are certainly a lot more daring. Eventually I will make it out to Universal Hollywood to check it out.

Not that I can remember. I do not smoke, but it is possible that I may have used a straw. My major complication came from not regaining feeling in my face for almost two months. I did have some nerve damage, but they seemed to repair itself.
