Something About Nothing..........# 9

[keishashadow]

hey all, reading thru last few weeks, lots going on here. I was down with fluke thing myself in hospital the week before thanksgiving, but have muddled thru: family invasion, BF & cyber monday..a .gal's gotta do what she gotta do kwim?

Hello all ... Been working full time and making Christmas balls for my sons school these past few months .. Planning a trip in Jan or Feb for two adults ... which do you think is better Orlando or Las Vegas ?? It is a 20th anniversary for us so I want to do something nice !! Any suggestions we only have time when school is off or from the 12th till the 16 of Jan !! Any help please !!

I vote for vegas. If you pick a non-convention week the hotels are dirt cheap. the mr & I will (hopefully, if he ever gets ok for his vacation time next year) be in vegas for superbowl weekend & to celebrate our anniversary for 4 nights, then hopping on short flight to DL for a few days. Best of both worlds, we added an overnight @ Grand Canyon a few years ago and it was just too much but it's easy to do DL & Vegas in a week imo.

quick drive by:

DD got into Wake Forest University in North Carollina!!!! She got the letter Friday...so exciting

In the meantime, if you all remember the stupid chicken thing where the house had the protein smoke stench, then the first renovators tore up my house and flooded my basement. Add to 2011, not one but 2 baths going kappooey on the same weekend. Then add DS getting his license then wrecking 3 weeks later.

I'm surprised I'm still standing...

I cancelled Uni at Christmas to pay for it all.

Universal Orlando Resort
Hey fans, we want you to be the first to know… JAWS! and the Amity area will officially close on January 2 to make room for an exciting, NEW, experience we’re planning for you.

We know you love JAWS! and we do too. It has been an amazing attraction and after terrorizing the waters of Amity here at Universal Orlando for 20 years, it’s a VERY important part of our history. So, we’ve got a couple things planned to ensure we always remember and honor it. We know it’s hard to say goodbye, but we can’t express how EXCITED we are about the new, innovative & amazing experience we’re going to be bringing you.

And then this was in my email

There is already a thread on that, Bonny. It bums me out big time!! Giving a month's notice is rude as hell. I hope to God it's not that Transformers crap.

losing jaws is not going to make me cry.

the last two times i went on a private tour, i took a pass on doing jaws.

same script, same everything.

i am thrilled the carnival type of games will be leaving from that area.
that game area never appealed to me.
except for the Nathan's hot dog place......


i'm also tired of fear factor, but i doubt that place will leave.

i second that about transformers being the replacement.
i think they should put in a pole with dancers instead.

I wear one of my two JAWS shirts at least once a week and have a JAWS keychain with all my keys on it. I've been a fan since the day the film came out. I remember my dad taking me to the drive-in to see it in 1975. I've been a hardcore fan ever since.

If they put Transformers there I am going to be really pissed. Pretty soon they are going to have to change the name of the park to Simulator Land.

But hey.....stippers would ease the pain.

i absolutely love the Jaws movies!!

the ride at the studios, i guess i am just tired of it.
no changes in scripts, one change a few years back in the enclosed boat area with the water barrels and that is about it for progress in the set up.

i didn't tire of the of the houses and sets on the surrounding land around the water though.
very pretty area.
very realistic.


hopefully, they will leave Jaws up where he is now hanging from the pole..
and if they don't, let the girls/men dance around it with very little clothing on..........



the last 3 years that i did the private RIP night tour, i took a pass at riding Jaws at night.
some rides i outgrew but i know there are many fans out there who are outraged over the closing of Jaws ride.

i'm also tired of the animal actor show.
same script, same acts ............

i'm not wishful thinking that the transformers will be coming to town when Jaws finishes up....
if that would happen, i'll be at the pole.




come to the studios when i do my pole dance....

Unless of course you rode it when they blew the shark up. It's been changed more than once.

HiHo board neighbors! Popped over to catch up and tell everyone I hope they had a fantastic turkey day!

Our family is going to miss Jaws, we loved that ride and have some fun memories about it, BUT.... we also know US/IOA won't let us down and can't wait to see what's up their sleeve.

To everyone who's has birthdays and anniversaries... MUCH LOVE!!!

Hi everyone

I too am sad to see Jaws go...but excited to see what they will replace it with...hopefully no Transformers (although I would probably pay to see mac do her pole dance) I'm glad we will get to celebrate the closing with one last ride as Jan 2 is the final day of our trip.

i figured we would be hearing from "sharky" when the jaws story broke.

she does love her Jaws.....

and i'm so happy she has kept her 'shark' pic in her siggie...

 

[macraven]

vicky, since i have only lost ten pounds so far on my diet, i'll keep my clothes on while at the pole.

but once i lose the rest of the fat on this diet, i will then be the stripper......
