I'm hoping to get some feedback because I definitely want to be up there next time... Its a challenge but hey I want to do it...

Yeah but then you have the rides that take years to load and unload. With 1 more person they would probably increase the hourly capacity of some rides incredibly. The real drag is the BatWing ride... OMG that takes forever sometimes. Sadly my poor Chaos was another one that took a while to load and unload...

Ouch... Maybe glass isn't the best idea... Maybe something plastic laser engraved or something... It could be a donkey x-mas scene...

I was pretty upset when I saw that I wasn't on the list this morning but I think that was finals stress...

I hope you guys do this next year... I'll be on the ball then...

C'mon Robb... Just post them... You can modify the post with the updated info later right? I'm just hoping to see something before I have to go through finals hell tomorrow...

Premier overcommited... They couldn't manage all the parks and didn't even turn a profit except this last year if I remember correctly. It was a poor move overall.

Please let it be something we haven't seen... Heck you could even post it then... (Is still hoping for an update from the CO trip that he wasn't in the state for...)

Thats a heck of a thing Robb... I mean you guys are patient enough to go through all those videos probably several times. I dunno how many of you have really added it up. Assuming that most people went close to the max of 3 minutes that is close to 2 hours just to watch every video on time...

^^That icon is freaking me out WTH is happening in it? I have never seen anyone make that kind of face... Oh can we get a sample of what sort of arguments were made for the top 20? I mean like what got it chosen out of the others and such. Maybe things to look for? I would be kinda fun to know why you guys choose those out of others and help those who didn't make it (mine prolly won't be in) to do better next time. (Please say there will be a next time... Maybe with some footage no one has seen yet from a recent trip?)

I look forward to both updates Robb... Thanks for the answer.

Did Robb get busy or something? The list of submitted videos didn't hit last night nor has the contest closed... I can't wait to see what other people did with this... I know mine sucks but hey I want to see how badly it sucked.

Anyway anyone can get a video?

I would love to hear anything new about the shows. What happened on that day of filming and stuff? Maybe I have missed something... I tried a search but a few pages on I didn't really find anything...

Mine sucks but hey I submitted one... Hey Robb can you give us a number of submissions? Is this going to be like bandwidth raping and patience testing if we want to view them all?

No one... The people that post here scare me... Seriously...

Thats one of the most unfortunate "features" of the current IE because it breaks all other browsers views of said page. We should really be working toward more standards compliance rather than continuing to accept that bad websites will still be built. Heck IE7 is going to drop a lot of those fudges for bad code and I say not one second too soon. Oh and to the person seeing slowdown what you are probably seeing is some sort of dirtily coded site that works great in IE but because of how it is built will be a bit slower in other browsers. There are other sites that use really ugly ways of building the site (that take a while to render) where browsers like Firefox and similarly up to date browsers could have much cleaner implementations were it not for broken parts of IE. So I guess ultimately what I am saying is that when someone is building towards a standard they should do just that. In many ways Microsoft and Netscape over the years managed to break HTML. Yeah I said Netscape as they had a hand in the same stuff years ago. Microsoft implemented Netscapes broken HTML rendering and then added their own. Now everyone has to try and reverse engineer someone elses code to render something that is broken in the first place... It just seems unfortunate...

I look forward to hearing about it. Especially if it is really a 12 seater... That would be kinda strange.

Ok I said I wouldn't say anything else but... Sorry... I misread one of your comments and after re-reading it you do indeed have it installed and have used it to view the site... Apologies... Oh and I understand everything you said but my mistake in reading your post made me think you hadn't tested it... (again...)

I'm pretty sure it is not... I think that the Denver and the original are the tallest HalfPipes. Still it is cool that it is on top of a building. In fact it is pretty clear that it isn't. On RCDB it has "This Half Pipe may be a different size when compared to the others built. A story on this Half Pipe mentions a "52-meter U-shape" and 12 riders. Previous Half Pipe coasters are 30m tall and 70m long with a 16 rider capacity." If that is true then it is definitely smaller.

Whoa... What is going on on that Aqua train... Is there a restraint missing or something? It seriously looks like there should be a restraint next to that girl. Is this some perspective issue? Oh and on the ToT sign it is just FiberOptics embedded into the sign... If that is what you were asking...

I guess the biggest thing is that at 10% it seems that Firefox users make a huge amount of the traffic to the site. Wouldn't it be worthwhile to test with firefox? I mean I guess to me it seems kinda weird for the webmaster to be asking people if there are problems with the site associated with a specific browser... Its only 5.0MB for Windows... I won't say anything else now... I promise... Unless it is answering questions...

Oh well even AOL uses the Firefox engine for some of their stuff now... Heck Netscape 8 is Firefox but with IE there just in case. I don't recommend it for anyone though because it is perpetually behind the curve and it is an absolutely abhorrent interface. Seriously though Robb it is the same with a lot of things. People almost never see a reason to switch until they do and then they wonder why they waited. Heck I bet people didn't see a reason to switch from the horse and buggy at one point. Or to put it another way I remember my parents commenting on the fact that at one point they wondered why anyone would need a DishWasher... Needless to say that no one likes to go without a dishwasher these days...

Just a point... It only automatically works in the browser if you are using IE for windows. For FireFox users you can take a look at FireFTP. That will give you the same sort of features in Firefox and you should be able to follow the instructions Robb gave otherwise. I'll just double check that it all works in a sec. Ok I just checked and it isn't quite as straightforward but it isn't hard at all. I'll try to make some pics and get them up shortly. Ok I've updated this so that it should have all the instructions for anyone using Firefox. Hopefully it is fairly straightforward enough. Hopefully I haven't forgotten anything. At the end simply select your file on the left side and make sure the right side is in the correct folder. Then just click the arrow that points to the right and you should be good to go. Now Simply select "TPR" from the drop down and click "Connect" Enter these items exactly as they appear other than the TPR. Assuming you have no proxy you shouldn't have to mess with any of the other settings. Now that FireFTP has opened go to the top left of the window and click on "Manage Accounts" and go to "New..." Pick tools from the menu bar and click on "FireFTP"

Once you go tabbed you never go back... Oh that and the extensions... https://addons.mozilla.org/?application=firefox Check out that list... If none of those excite you then you should probably check your pulse... You might be dead... BTW Life with Adblock Plus rocks... So easy to get rid of ads. That is reason enough to use Firefox.
