76ers. I've heard you talk about the Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers. I've never once heard you mention the 76ers.
Mostly because I'm not much of a basketball fan. I like the NCAA tournament, but I don't watch college BB until that point because everyone makes the tournament. And I haven't watched an NBA game in years. The game went downhill in terms of team play, and of course the Sixers have stunk for a long time. If I had to pick a favorite basketball team, though, it would be the Sixers. So they have that going for them, which is nice.
That really surprises me. As much as they can mark up batteries, memory cards, sunscreen, etc, I can't imagine why they wouldn't have some stock of just about any media - including floppy discs and betamax tapes.
It surprised me, too. If I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I was at that point.
As much as I've been on this ride, I've never gone through the queue. The wait has never been less than 50 minutes. One of these days I'll have to. Loved the Canada dig, though! How was the interaction with Mr. Potatohead?
It's worth seeing, I think. We actually didn't have any interaction with Mr. Potato Head, mostly because it had turned into the picture spot. So people were ignoring him and just setting up their pictures.
I'm pretty sure those guys on the leader board that score like 300,000 must look like Popeye on one arm.
I'm amazed the guns can stand up to that constant abuse.
Yeah, that ride was a one and done for us.
Of course, that one time my FIL, BIL and I were picked to do the special effects. FIL and I were the swabbies on the deck. That was fun, but the problem was that we never got to see our finished movie. You would think that this being Disney, they would offer to sell you a copy.
Well, that's pretty crappy. After putting you through that abuse, you'd think they'd at least let you see the results.
Statler: Oh, no, it's that bear again.
Waldorf: Hey, bear, you're not even funny in 3-D!
Fozzie Bear: Oh, no, not you guys. How'd you get here?
Statler: We entered a contest.
Waldorf: Yeah, and we lost.
I love this show!
yup.
i had an aunt that lived near stone mtn. when i was growing up we would stop to see her and her grand kids for 3 days before heading to florida. her grand kids are my age. to this day, i still have no idea what they were saying.
they probley said the same about me. what did he say?
they were showing me pictures of the "snow" they got one morning.
thats not snow, thats frost.
If your TR is still going on Super Bowl Sunday, I have a feeling there's a good chance you'll be posting an update then too.
Sadly, I believe you're right. Although I'm a big football fan, so I'll usually watch just about anybody play. Except when it's Giants vs. Cowboys. Then I just root for a huge crater to swallow the stadium.
The Eagles' one saving grace is that the entire NFC is crappy right now.
Hey, I thought that was pretty creative. I'll bet you weren't counting on that being a movie reference either.
You got me! It always amuses me when people find movie references I didn't even notice. That should be rewarded.
Dan is FauntleroyFan07. He has the "Squirts, Shirts, and Flirts" TR. A good guy, but not known for his spelling. No, correction...he is known for his spelling, his own inventive spelling.
Thanks for clue-ing me in!
Punch her in the ovaries, right in the baby-maker
Mark, I have to say I whole heartily agree with you on this. Remember when I mentioned before that my parents let me pick out a shirt as a reward for riding. Ya, that was the last time I stepped foot on this Elevator from Hell. Normally I love thrill rides. I just hate the drops. I recall looking at the picture from this ride in the "Lobby" and my family saying "Where's Kristin?" My dad chimes in with "Here head is crammed into my armpit. I was so terrified by the drop that I squeezed my Dad's arm and tried to fold myself into as small of a ball as possible in attempt to offset my stomach going into my throat.
On our last trip I went through the line and rode the chicken exit up to the lobby area. When I go with my friends in June I may have to give into peer pressure. Although I might eat something before hand and make some lame excuse about puking. That will keep those vultures at bay for a while.
Good idea! The threat of vomit is always a good deterrent.
I guess there are a lot of people out there that love huge drops. Then again, there are people who like brussels sprouts, too.
Great Update. My family are huge Muppet fans, so Muppet Vision 3D is always a must do. My dad made my brother and I watch the original Muppet Movie when we were little and spent many a summer watching Original Muppet show re-runs on Nickelodeon. I fondly remember the first time we saw this, my brother (4 yo at the time) about peed himself with excitement when Sweetums comes out into the theater. Best. Show. Ever!!!
I miss that show.
