Interesting fact about yourself: I worked at Cedar Point as a ride operator for 1 season (Gemini Crew!) and I worked in Maintenance at SFGAm for 3 seasons, perhaps the job that I had the most fun at. Though the pay is much better after graduating college...

One trip you really want to do: Visit Australia

Where's the messed up picture I made for him?

Anyways, great choice for best amusement park. Personally, I like the Original Universe of Energy better than the Ellenified one and that new SSE is great, though the descent still needs work which it is getting very slowly.

Agreed with the UoE statement, and while I don't mind the new Judi Dench narration, I still love the Walter Cronkite narration the best (Jeremy Irons close behind).

I actually liked Irons the best, it had that mysterious tone to it. Dench seems too upbeat in hers, but the updated Animatronics and new scenes was a great addition, still 50/50 on the video screens. It was a good idea, but I don't think it was put to its best use, the timing of the "future" could be better and shown earlier to give a better descent.

You're in DeKalb so nobody knows you exist.

Just like how I'm in Sheboygan so nobody knows I exist....

Sheboygan is just like DeKalb, a whole lotta nothing....
