I believe I've heard that the light up stars on the highway side of EnterTRAINment Junction were from Paramount's Kings Island.

I rode the Ghoster Coaster once with my little sister (I was probably 20 or so at the time). Was not very comfortable for us adults.

Congrats on the accomplishment!

Did Cedar Fair sign a deal with EA? Pretty cool.

I have a feeling that this topic has come up because BB1 just heard that Mars may have water, so he's trying to get a crew out there to build the perfect Boomerang Bay.

Wasn't that disco ball once located in the Festhaus?

How are they going to move The Racer to Soak City?

When my wife and I went to Disney World this past January, we loved the art class (we did it twice). It was definitely a highlight and I'm sad that it's closing. Last I'd heard they may be expanding the class because it was so popular; so maybe that's still on the table. If not, that's too bad.

My current favorite food truck is the Horseless Buggy Eatery. They have my favorite burger, the Onion Straw Burger. If you'd like to follow them, here's their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/horselessbuggyeatery?fref=ts But, I will skip them if they have a line longer than 8 to 10 people long. While the burger is amazing, they're just 2 people making everything fresh, so it takes a while to serve each person. I've seen them at businesses where there is no line at all, but at these food truck rallies it's just not worth it.

Excellent.

I was confused until the 4th post...then I got it.

The wife and I are planning on going to England next summer, and have thought about checking out the Towers. If you go, I'd be very interested in hearing about it.

I may have agreed with this at one point during Kings Island's existence, but pointing out Kings Island's themed areas is kind of a silly argument. They're themed in name only at this point. Tell me how immersed you are in the old west theme of Rivertown with 5 year old top 40 hits blasting over the speakers there. Do you feel like you're experiencing the different countries represented along International Street when you enter shops like Girl Space or I Love the 80's? Kings Island is technically divided into totally different themed areas, but really, c'mon. They abandoned trying to keep those themes long ago. I don't notice any trashiness at CP that I can't also find at KI.

The commercials only got worse when they stopped doing the Bud Bowl. I thought that Budweiser's commercial (the one where they were ripping craft beers, not the dumb puppy one) was pretty funny since they have purchased companies that sell those same beers that they were mocking in that commercial. Classy move.

My wife and I went to Universal last Thursday during our big Florida trip (may get a TR together if I have time). The highlight of the entire park was definitely Diagon Alley. I'm a HP fan, and my wife isn't so much, but we were both blown away by that area. I could have spent the entire day there. And yeah, the Hogwarts Express is a real treat in both directions, though I liked the trip to Hogsmead slightly more. We tried the cold and hot Butterbeer and the hot version was sooooooo good. Especially since it was chilly when we were there. I highly recommend it.

Great job. Looks almost better than the actual park map.

I agree with Thrill Biscuit.

I thought about that year too. Wasn't Back to the Future also in '85? '82 still has the majority of my favorites of all time though.

I think that the most exciting thing, for me, is the Disney Vault programming that they're going to be showing on TCM. I love those old Disneyland and Wonderful World Of Color shows.

1982 E.T. The Extra Terrestrial Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Poltergeist Conan the Barbarian Blade Runner The Thing The Secret of Nimh Tron The Dark Crystal Even some sentimental favorites like: The Beastmaster Creepshow The Toy The Last Unicorn First Blood The World According to Garp Porky's Diner Fast Times at Ridgemont High 48 Hours

Yeah, I already got my bid in for a house. I'm going to try to negotiate on the price a little. See if they can't bring it down a dozen hundred thousand dollars or so.

Have they announced a date for the hat to be gone? I've seen early 2015. We'll be there for marathon weekend in January, so I hope it's gone by then.

Meh, wouldn't call them "idiots". They're just having some harmless fun with fog juice.

Haunt waits have not been too bad.

Groovy, I will probably be there in an hour and a half with some peeps to help fill up the park.
