  1. Looks like there may be another park coming near College Station kagstv.com/News/KAGSNews/ID/1060/Amusement-Park-Coming-to-the-Brazos-Valley
  2. I saw pieces of the Greezed Lightnin at Larson International, Inc. near Lubbock over the summer. That's where the roller coaster museum is at the moment. I believe they had refurbished the trains and everything was kept in good shape. Originally it was going to Joyland who bought it but then recently Joyland was trading Greezed Lightnin with Cliff's in New Mexico for another ride. I guess Grand Texas must have bought it. If it does come back it would be 10 years since Greezed Lightnin ran. Looks like Houston may finally get a major amusement park.
  3. Here some more news on Grand Texas. houston.culturemap.com/news/city_life/11-07-13-the-new-astroworld-sets-an-opening-date-houstons-next-theme-park-to-blast-off-in-2015/
  4. Dollywood cinnamon bread or Busch Gardens Williamsburg's cinnamon pretzel bites? Floaty air or ejector air?
  5. How many DVDs or Blu-Rays do you purchase each year? About 15 blurays. Mostly 3d versions How many digital downloads do you purchase each year? 1 How do you purchase digital downloads? (iTunes, Stream, etc) Ituens. I do stream a lot from Hulu plus and Netflix Do you download directly from iTunes to your device, or iTunes to your computer, and then transfer to your device? Download to my PC Is a 1.5gb - 2 gb file "too big" for you to download to your device? Large sizes are no problem. I have comcast business class at my home.
  6. Having gone to most of the parks in both chains I will have to go with Cedar Fair. Their operations are better than Six Flags and I love their Fast Lane system over Flash Pass.
  7. *Best moment Experiencing an empty day with walk on lines at Disney land and California Adventure. *Best individual ride The Phoenix at Kneobels during the Phunfest. It was running really fast and smooth. The twister at night during the rain was a close second. *Funniest moment Screaming YOLO on the YOLO coaster during ERT at WCB. *Scariest moment Loosing my wallet on Xcelerator during the WCB. Heard that it was raining cash into the queue. *Strangest moment Having a raccoon disrupt ERT on Superman at WCB. *Favorite individual park visit Knoeblels a Phall Phun Phest *Nerdiest moment Riding the veggie tales coaster in Dollywood *Best non-coaster related thing to happen at a park Riding the swings of death at Sandy Lakes *Best thing to happen on a park trip outside of the park Going to the City Museum for the first time at St Louis. Also seeing the Arch for the first time. *Favorite new experience Getting a chance to ride Flying Turns. *Anything else you'd like to mention as a highlight Was finally able to visit a lot of new parks for this year. Great experience of going skiing at Tahoe and then going to a coaster event at Santa Cruz on the same weekend.
  8. I have ridden both and it's a hard decision. I willhave to vote for YOLOcoaster. It was more forceful and had great ejection air.
  9. Last Saturday on Twister in the dark and in the rain at Knoebels. pg
  10. I got too many passes this year: Carowinds Platinum Pass Six Flags Over Texas Gold Pass Sea World San Antonio Platinum Pass Dollywood Regular Season Pass Silver Dollar City Universal Studios Hollywood Annual Pass
  11. Three train operation. Line seems pretty fast when it is working. About 1 hour wait.
  12. I heard that today is National Taco Day. www.nationaltacoday.com/
  13. I will be going to PPP for the first time tomorrow. Looks like I may have picked a good time to go if Flying Turns does open. If it does open I will give the Tapatalk app a shot and post some pics.
  14. I got 68. Need to go on some international trips.
  15. ^ I got the same error when I tried to edit my post from my ipad.
  16. Testing photo post from my s3 Crazy swing ride at Sandy Lake.
  17. Working for me. Can't seem to get pictures to show up.
  18. ^The old dark red mine train cars are from Astroworld's Excalibur.
  19. I rode the first public ride this morning for NTaG's reopening. I barely noticed any difference with the new restraints. The new lap bars do seem to be a bit more comfortable or maybe the trains were running a bit slow that early in the morning. Did notice that the air time seemed to be a bit weaker. I am going to have to try it later tonight. Pretty cool that the pics I took for my face book page that I shared with the Coaster Crew are now here. I was just about to post them when I noticed some very familiar shots. Heard from the park president today at the Lonestar Coasterthon that there may be something big coming in 2015.
  20. Thank you for putting on another great and memorable event despite the raccoon and having my wallet get sucked out on Xcellerator and raining everyone with it's contents on morning ERT. Thank God I got the wallet back with all of its contents. Great job, one of these days I need to go on a trip.
  21. I will be there this coming weekend. I will try to get some pics.
  22. Everything all packed, rental car all set, and hotel booked. All set to go. Should be in LAX tonight around 8:30pm. Heading for Disneyland and California Adventure tomorrow. Not too sure what to do tonight. Perhaps there are some small parks I can go to for some late night credits?
