  1. I guess based off of my looks, my VIP tour guide asked if I was a part of/or desired to be a part of one of those social clubs and what I thought of them. My only answer was, "I have a handful of friends in some well known MC's that wouldn't take too kindly to people wearing biker cuts, they'd find it pretty disrespectful..."
  2. Yeah, this. Do the wheel covers still have the sharks and birds? Hope they keep 'em, assuming they stay with the current theme. Here is a picture from AngryGumBall (date on the FaceBook picture post is from Nov 2013) No sharks or birds on the train.
  3. I think Its an arbitrary date. I am guessing it will open before then and they are just giving themselves time so they don't have to change it again. Just a guess though. So, I just got back from visiting the park (Thursday-Saturday), and on Thursday BTMR ran Cast Member testing. I attempted to get pictures, and went as far as to attempt to sweet talk my way in (show some leg, etc), but they were very strict and wouldn't even let me take a pic of the entry way. The following day, it just so happened that my bassists client, a high roller who hires him for motion graphics, was also in the park and booked a VIP tour for 8 hours and put us with his group. That tour guide said the effects in the final room are amazing. The digital mapping used in the final hill sequence sounds really promising and could offer a more consistent effect than the original. I feel the new Mara effect on Indiana Jones shows that they can deliver a highly convincing effect with digital mapping will less error/down time. I remember the Mara old effect would hardly work half of the time and it consisted of flashing lights and smoke. So here's to wishful thinking, and hopefully BTMR it will soft open sometime in the next couple of weeks.
  4. According to the wonderful world of ScreamScape..... Its a little early for April fools jokes, no?
  5. Every time I see that picture of the Yolo Stilt People a voice goes off in my head....
  6. I would love it if they extended their operations, but Nov 2nd isn't really a stretch when you take they're haunt hours into consideration. I'd love to see them do year round ops.
  7. The "Uh Oa!" is quite the drink..they're not joking around when they say it's enough for two people. That place is my jam! Although, usually I drink an Uh Oa to myself my favorite drink there is the Navy Grog. I'll be attending NAMM this week, and I feel a Trader Sam's night for my band is in order for Thursday.
  8. I dont really think they'd re-theme the ride, but just an interesting question to ask. I can't seem to shake the jet theme since its all I've known.
  9. Looks like it. Also take into consideration that this is the main ride that will be visible from the direction of the new stadium. No harm in trying to attract some 49er fans and help boost the parks business. Smart move if you ask me. Here's a question to those that read this thread... If you had to rename/theme Flight Deck to go along with a 49er/Gold-miner theme, what would it be?
  10. I can vouch for the cocktails in the bar and the duck sliders. SOOO GOOD! Actually, I think I can vouch for a lot of cocktails in and around the resort....
  11. I don't think more paint would help Vortex, the worst B&M stand up coaster (and I've now ridden all 7). I love B&Ms but not Vortex. I know it won't make it a better ride but at least it will look better. Maybe it will be replaced with something awesome. My one hope for the park is to be rid of it, and have it go somewhere else to die.
  12. According to the FB that is just the primer. I can't wait to see what color scheme they go with!
  13. I took this option since Cathay Circle was booked. My GF ordered the Lamb, and I the Fillet. It was really good, and the desserts were awesome. One of the best parts was sitting upstairs for dinner while the Pixar Parade made its way passed the restaurant. The kids got an awesome view as we sipped our cocktails
  14. I had the same feelings when I saw it this last Friday. I wanted to do the Cathay Circle dinner but it was sold out. How were the menu options for the WOC package?
  15. This. The last time I ate there, my friend and I got the buffet. They failed to tell us they'd be removing the buffet 5min after our purchase. Never again. Now I just go there for the beer.
  16. Anyone want to go in on buying a plot of land by the park and paving a big ass parking lot? We could charge $5 to start, and go up $5 every season the park does = PROFIT
  17. This sounds awesome, and I've been wanting to visit Mexico really bad. Hitting some parks with TPR tickles my fancy. My relatives supposedly own a water park somewhere in Mexico... I should make some calls.
  18. Seriously. I'm between 6'2" and 6'3", at my heaviest (230lbs) I could get stapled in, but it took 2 people to do it. I think "average" isn't the best way to describe it. Shoot, I still have problems at 190lbs with OTS restraints due to my shoulders and chest!
